TwitterPager: TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment

[factorlive]

Hi,

Whenever I am about to reach the next page with the helper class TwitterPager, I hit the TypeError below. So I can only retrieve the first page.

Tested on endpoints:

• users/:id/following
• users/:id/tweets

The endpoint in the example does work for me. Also, weirdly, I can retrieve the meta next_token from the r.json() object.

Working with Python 3.9 on Ubuntu 20.

    120 
    121             except TwitterRequestError as e:

TypeError: 'NoneType' object does not support item assignment

Any ideas? 😕

Do you have a short code example?

[factorlive]

Thanks for the swift response. Yes.

The response gets you the first 100 followers, i.e. first page.

from TwitterAPI import TwitterAPI, TwitterPager
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
api = TwitterAPI(os.getenv("CONSUMER_KEY"), os.getenv("CONSUMER_SECRET"),
                 os.getenv("TOKEN"), os.getenv("SECRET"), api_version='2')
pager = TwitterPager(api, 'users/:1314235041841643520/following')
counter = 0
for item in pager.get_iterator(new_tweets=False):
    print(item)
    counter += 1
    print(counter)

When looking at the response object, I do see the next token. The TypeError suggests it was not supplied. I also tried playing with the new_tweets parameter to see whether such would cause the error. However, I had no luck.

from TwitterAPI import TwitterAPI, TwitterPager
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
api = TwitterAPI(os.getenv("CONSUMER_KEY"), os.getenv("CONSUMER_SECRET"),
                 os.getenv("TOKEN"), os.getenv("SECRET"), api_version='2')

r = api.request('users/:1314235041841643520/following')
data = r.json()
print(data["meta"]["next_token"])

Okay, I see the issue in the TwitterPager code. Should have a fix soon.

Well done. Look forward to it. I didn't spot it. The pager is very handy. 🎊🎆

It should be fixed in version 2.6.6. You can download it now.

Works. ✅
