You have several options to interact with the Streaming APIs from Python, for instance using one of the libraries listed at [node:126].

Tweepy is one of them, and here is an example code to use [node:10389]:

github.com

tweepy/tweepy/blob/master/examples/streaming.py

from __future__ import absolute_import, print_function

from tweepy.streaming import StreamListener
from tweepy import OAuthHandler
from tweepy import Stream

# Go to http://apps.twitter.com and create an app.
# The consumer key and secret will be generated for you after
consumer_key=""
consumer_secret=""

# After the step above, you will be redirected to your app's page.
# Create an access token under the the "Your access token" section
access_token=""
access_token_secret=""

class StdOutListener(StreamListener):
    """ A listener handles tweets that are received from the stream.
    This is a basic listener that just prints received tweets to stdout.

Here’s an example using my TwitterAPI library (https://github.com/geduldig/TwitterAPI)


from TwitterAPI import TwitterAPI
CONSUMER_KEY = ''

CONSUMER_SECRET = ''

ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY = ''

ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = ‘’
api = TwitterAPI(

CONSUMER_KEY,

CONSUMER_SECRET,

ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY,

ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
r = api.request(‘statuses/filter’, {‘track’: ‘pizza’})
for item in r:

print(item[‘text’] if ‘text’ in item else item)
