Guide to migrating your code from Twitter API v1.1 to v2 with Tweepy in Python
Tweepy is a popular library that allows developers to interact with the Twitter API in Python. Since the launch of the new Twitter API v2, Tweepy has been updated to support the new API. Many students and developers continue to use the old Twitter API v1.1 in Tweepy, because they are unware of the new API v2 or because they do not know how to migrate their code to use v2.
In this guide, I will show you how you can migrate your Tweepy code in Python that uses the old Twitter API v1.1 to use the new Twitter API v2.
In order to use the Twitter API, you first need to sign up for access. Once you have access, you need to get your keys and tokens from the developer portal to connect to the Twitter API. To learn how to get your keys and tokens based on your access levels, check out the How to get your API Keys and tokens section in this guide.
Initializing your Tweepy client and authentication
I hope this helps you in your journey of moving your Tweepy code from using the Twitter API v1.1 to using the Twitter API v2. If you have any questions, please reach out to me @suhemparack
Great job! One question, I have an issue finding the country (not only location) and language field of the Twitter user when getting profile/user_followers/user_followings. Has anyone stumbled on this yet? :D
Hello:
I'm trying to migrate my projects to Twitter API v2, but none examples work for me. I have a free development account.
It still continues to show the same error:
tweepy.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden
When authenticating requests to the Twitter API v2 endpoints, you must use keys and tokens from a Twitter developer App that is attached to a Project. You can create a project via the developer portal.
I need a guide to verify what it is the possible mistake.
Thanks! This was very helpful
