python分析推特_在Python中解析Twitter JSON对象

I am trying to download tweets from twitter.

I have used python and Tweepy for this. Though I am new to both Python and Twitter API.

My Python script is as follow:

#!usr/bin/python

#import modules

import sys

import tweepy

import json

#global variables

consumer_key = ''

consumer_secret = ''

token_key = ''

token_secret = ''

#Main function

def main():

print sys.argv[0],'starts'

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)

auth.set_access_token(token_key, token_secret)

print 'Connected to Twitter'

api = tweepy.API(auth)

if not api.test():

print 'Twitter API test failed'

print 'Experiment with cursor'

print 'Get search method returns json objects'

json_search = api.search(q="football")

#json.loads(json_search())

print json_search

#Standard boilerplate to call main function if this file runs

if __name__ == '__main__':

main()

I am getting result as follows:

[, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ]

Now I am confused how to extract tweets from this information?

I tried to use json.loads method on this data. But it gives me error as JSON expects string or buffer.

Example code would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

take my code for tweepy:

def twitterfeed():

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)

auth.set_access_token(access_key, access_secret)

api = tweepy.API(auth)

statuses = tweepy.Cursor(api.home_timeline).items(20)

data = [s.text.encode('utf8') for s in statuses]

print data
