user list

[Marcos_h_Gomes]

Hello, I’m new to the api, and I would like to know if within tweepy, I can generate a user list based on a search

Ex:
search = NBA

return all profiles that have the name NBA in the name.

In v2 API no, not really but you can use the filter stream if you have academic access

Search twitter handle by name

No, not in v2 API. If you have Academic Access, you can try the Filter Stream rules for bio: operator - but this will only get new tweets as they are posted, you can’t search using this.

In v1.1 API there’s GET users/search | Docs | Twitter Developer Platform but you need Elevated Access to use it.
