Getting Most Recent Tweet #129

Closed FroostySnoowman closed 7 months ago

FroostySnoowman commented 9 months ago

Hello, what's the best option to get the most recent tweet? I've done something like:

        async for tweet in api.user_tweets(flash_twitter_id, limit=1):
            ...
            break

However, that seems to be inconsistent. Is there a better way to do this?

This seems like the best/only way.

A few notes: 1) this will return an unsorted list of the latest tweets. Here is a snippet for re-ordering them so they are sorted.

sorted_tweets=sorted(tweets,key=lambda x: x.id) # the API returns unordered tweets.  this should order them by id

2) I've had to write code to keep up with the 'last' tweet id to figure out if the function is returning 'new to my code' tweets. I'm unaware of a better way to do this- open to ideas.

Your code is right. This will return to the latest page of the user's homepage like the web, it should be noted that is one page's tweets(about 20 tweets) rather than one tweet. More than 20 tweets in reality(about 30~40), as it includes additional system recommendations and ads, so you can get the latest one among them
