[QUESTION] Usage of members_list #610

Closed nachotp closed 4 years ago

nachotp commented 4 years ago

Greetings

I'm running on Windows 10, python 3.6 and the latest version of twint.

I'm trying to download tweets from a specific date range that were sent by a list of usernames and reading the docs I assumed that members_list was the way to go. and addec this to my search config:

c.Members_list = "user1/user2/user3"

but when I run it I get

CRITICAL:root:twint.run:Twint:Feed:noDataExpecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) CRITICAL:root:twint.run:Twint:Feed:noDataExpecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) CRITICAL:root:twint.run:Twint:Feed:noData'items_html' CRITICAL:root:twint.run:Twint:Feed:noDataExpecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) CRITICAL:root:twint.run:Twint:Feed:noDataExpecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) CRITICAL:root:twint.run:Twint:Feed:Tweets_known_error:Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) [x] run.Feed

wich as far as I am concerned, means that there are no tweets available.

Am I using the correct method or is there a better option?

Thanks!

"Members list" is not a list of usernames, but Twitter's lists. For example if this is the list, the argument for it is manhack/osint

Somehow my twitter list is not working despite creating the list as public. Example here: fashai/worldleaders. Please help

This is interesting cause when I scraped other people's list. It works. For example "naval/crypto" but not my own list "dailydefidummy/demo"
