Not getting tweets anymore #234

carlafdzzz commented 5 years ago

It has been working for a week but now it stoped working. When using the command line:

alu-248-239:GetOldTweets-python-master carla$ python Exporter.py --querysearch "mysearch" --maxtweets 500 Searching...

More 100 saved on file...

Done. Output file generated "output_got.csv".

I've been reading other issues about changing the IP (which I did and still not working), others said if you still had access to twitter through your browser it wasn't a matter of being blacklisted by them. Others said it could be fixed by changing the headers in TweetManager.py which didn't work for me either.

Any tips here?

Same story. I think I have abused of the scrapper and is no longer working.

I had a similar issue and here are my tips based on my experience which actually worked out well for me:

  1. Stop it for a while and rerun the script.
  2. If this still fails then run the script from a different machine
  3. Still, no luck then wait for 2/3 days and run it again.
  4. Finally, if you have a dedicated machine then try to reinstall the os and run it again.

For me, tip 2 and 4 were most helpful.

Even I am facing similar issue in windows OS. I am using anaconda and VS code to get the output. But I m getting empty csv.

Make sure your query returns some results. If the result is empty then the CSV file should be empty as well. You can run your query on the browser first just to make sure it's a valid query.

I think the best thing to do is not to use the windows OS
