Hey, I’m creating a twitter bot. I’m following a tutorial as I don’t have much dev experience in python. I encountered the following error

raise TweepError(error_msg, resp, api_code=api_error_code)tweepy.error.TweepError: [{'message': 'You currently have Essential access which includes access to Twitter API v2 endpoints only. If you need access to this endpoint, you’ll need to apply for Elevated access via the Developer Portal. You can learn more here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/getting-started/about-twitter-api#v2-access-leve', 'code': 453}]

This is the code

import tweepy

import time

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler('id','id')

auth.set_access_token('id','id')

api = tweepy.API(auth, wait_on_rate_limit=True, wait_on_rate_limit_notify=True)

user = api.me()

print(user)

I think the problem is quite clear in the error description

and if you are more experienced in javascript, why not use the javascript library?

#3

In Tweepy, use the v2 API not the v1.1 API: Client — tweepy 4.10.1 documentation

I was able to solve the issue but for some unknown reason my account got limited. Maybe I exceeded the limit but I’m getting this error whenever I run the script.

[{'message': 'Application cannot perform write actions. Contact Twitter Platform Operations through https://help.twitter.com/forms/platform.', 'code': 261}]

It also says in my bot’s profile that my features have been limited because of violating twitter policies.

You can make an appeal on Platform.
If you believe your API access was restricted in error, explain why and give details of your usage.
Goodluck.

Could you share how you solved the issue? I’d be grateful for the solution

when I try this I get - AttributeError: module ‘tweepy’ has no attribute ‘Client’

#8

This is usually a symptom of Tweepy being out of date,

pip install --upgrade tweepy

should work

#9

I tried different ways but the same result.`

from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1
import requests

Set the API endpoint URL

url = “hhhhhhttps://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/update.json”

Set the POST parameters

params = {“status”: “Hello, world!”}

Set the OAuth credentials

consumer_key =api_key
consumer_secret =api_key_secret
access_token = access_token
access_token_secret = access_token_secret

Set up the OAuth authentication

oauth = OAuth1(consumer_key,
client_secret=consumer_secret,
resource_owner_key=access_token,
resource_owner_secret=access_token_secret)

Send the POST request

response = requests.post(url, params=params, auth=oauth)

Print the response

print(response.json())

You are calling a v1.1 API with requests library it looks like? Not with tweepy, but anyway, you need Elevated Access to make calls to v1.1 and to post tweets you need write permissions in the access token (this is a setting in the app settings, and tokens must be reset after it changes)
