A pure Python wrapper library around the Twitter API, making it easy for Python programmers to interact with Twitter's web services and data model. The repository has been archived by its maintainer and is no longer maintained.
Use cases
- post tweets from a python script
- read a user's twitter timeline in python
- authenticate with the twitter api using oauth
- search tweets programmatically
- integrate twitter into a django app
- fetch twitter user profile data
When to choose
- you need a simple, well-documented python interface to the legacy Twitter API
- you're maintaining an older codebase that already uses python-twitter
- you only need read/write access to Twitter's v1.1 API endpoints
When to avoid
- you need access to Twitter's current v2 API or X API features
- you're starting a new project and need an actively maintained library
- you need support for recent Twitter API changes or rate limit updates
