The data will be tweets extracted from the user. The first thing to do is get the consumer key, consumer secret, access key and access secret from twitter developer available easily for each user. These keys will help the API for authentication.
API.lists_memberships()
The lists_memberships()
method of the API
class in Tweepy module is used to fetch all the lists the specified user has been added to.
Syntax : API.lists_memberships(parameters)
Parameters :
- user_id : ID of the user.
- screen_name : screen name of the user.
- filter_to_owned_lists : boolean indicating whether to return just lists the authenticating user owns.

method without any parameter.
import tweepy
consumer_key = ""
consumer_secret = ""
access_token = ""
access_token_secret = ""
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
list = api.lists_memberships()
print ( "The authenticated user has been added to " + str ( len ( list )) + " list(s)." )
|
