In this article we will see how we can get the number of lists a user has been added to. The listed_count attribute provides us with an integer denoting the number of public lists a user has been added to. Private lists are not counted.
In order to get the number number of public lists a user has been added to, we have to do the following :
- Identify the user ID or the screen name of the profile.
- Get the User object of the profile using the
get_user()
method with the user ID or the screen name.- From this object, fetch the listed_count attribute present in it.
Example 1: Consider the following profile :
We will use the user ID to fetch the user. The user ID of the above mentioned profile is 57741058.
# import the module import tweepy
# assign the values accordingly consumer_key = ""
consumer_secret = ""
access_token = ""
access_token_secret = ""
# authorization of consumer key and consumer secret auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
# set access to user's access key and access secret auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret) # calling the api api = tweepy.API(auth)
# the ID of the user id = 57741058
# fetching the user user = api.get_user( id )
# fetching the listed_count listed_count = user.listed_count
print ( "The number of lists the user has been added to are : " + str (listed_count))
|
Output :
The number of lists the user has been added to are : 141
Example 2: Consider the following profile :
We will use the screen name to fetch the user. The screen name of the above mentioned profile is PracticeGfG.
# the screen name of the user screen_name = "PracticeGfG"
# fetching the user user = api.get_user(screen_name)
# fetching the listed_count listed_count = user.listed_count
print ( "The number of lists the user has been added to are : " + str (listed_count))
|
Output :
The number of lists the user has been added to are : 6
