I am using premium search API, want to filter by language to get only English tweets.

Please investigate how I can filter tweets by language. These are the ways I've tried.

r = api.request('tweets/search/%s/:%s' % (PRODUCT, LABEL), 
                {'query':SEARCH_TERM, 
                'maxResults':'500',
                'lang': 'en'})

r = api.request('tweets/search/%s/:%s' % (PRODUCT, LABEL), 
                {'query':'pizza -lang:en', 
                'maxResults':'500''})

Premium search operators are listed here: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/premium/search-api/overview#AvailableOperators

No hyphen. Use instead: 'query':'pizza lang:en'
