I am fresh to tweepy, and I wandering how is it possible to track down and store the image that a user posts in his/her tweets. I found several ways in tutorials to get user tweets, but I couldnt find a way to filter only the images.
I am using the following code in order to get user tweets. How is it possible to get only user images??
EDIT: I edit my code like above:
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)
auth.set_access_token(OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_SECRET)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
timeline = api.user_timeline(count=10, screen_name = "zenitiss")
for tweet in timeline:
for media in tweet.entities.get("media",[{}]):
print media
#checks if there is any media-entity
if media.get("type",None) == "photo":
# checks if the entity is of the type "photo"
image_content=requests.get(media["media_url"])
print image_content
However it seems that the for loop it doesnt works. The print media line prints a null object. Basically when I am trying to print urls of a user for example karyperry I am getting:
{u'url': u'http://t.co/TaP2JZrpxu', u'indices': [42, 64], u'expanded_url':
u'http://youtu.be/7bDLIV96LD4', u'display_url': u'youtu.be/7bDLIV96LD4'}
{u'url': u'https://t.co/t3hv7VQiPG', u'indices': [42, 65], u'expanded_url':

The most of urls are images, however when I put 'url' instead of 'media' in loop for media in tweet.entities.get("url",[{}]). Most of them are image urls.
