TwitterAPI trouble hitting the 'users/lookup' REST endpoint #155

Closed davidghiurco closed 8 years ago

davidghiurco commented 8 years ago

This is what I have written for the get_users function. I guess I'm just confused about how this specific endpoint works.

def get_users(twitter, screen_names): """Retrieve the Twitter user objects for each screen_name.

twitter = get_twitter() users = get_users(twitter, ['twitterapi', 'twitter']) [u['id'] for u in users] [6253282, 783214] """

request = robust_request(twitter, 'users/lookup', screen_names)
screen_names = []
for r in request:
    screen_names.append(r)
return sorted(screen_names)

running this ($ nosetests --with-doctest a0.py:get_users) I get: Failed example: users = get_users(twitter, ['twitterapi', 'twitter']) Exception raised: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/david/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/doctest.py", line 1321, in __run compileflags, 1), test.globs) File "<doctest get_users[1]>", line 1, in users = get_users(twitter, ['twitterapi', 'twitter']) File "/home/david/Desktop/davidghiurco/a0/a0.py", line 118, in get_users request = robust_request(twitter, 'users/lookup', screen_names) File "/home/david/Desktop/davidghiurco/a0/a0.py", line 91, in robust_request request = twitter.request(resource, params) File "/home/david/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/TwitterAPI/TwitterAPI.py", line 131, in request proxies=self.proxies) File "/home/david/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 461, in request prep = self.prepare_request(req) File "/home/david/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 394, in prepare_request hooks=merge_hooks(request.hooks, self.hooks), File "/home/david/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/requests/models.py", line 298, in prepare self.prepare_body(data, files, json) File "/home/david/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/requests/models.py", line 452, in prepare_body body = self._encode_params(data) File "/home/david/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/requests/models.py", line 89, in _encode_params for k, vs in to_key_val_list(data): ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2)

Too many values to unpack? Huh? What exactly do I get back from making this request?

UPDATE: I forgot to iterate over each screen_name. Sorry for the spam
