Search and save images of Chino Kafu from Twitter

Using the Twitter API library for Python called Tweepy, from Twitter, Chino-chan, Gochiusa [Incense I created a script to search and save the image of Fu Chino.

Twitter API preparation

Refer to Summary of how to use Twitter API to register the application and obtain various Twitter API Keys.

Preparing Tweepy

You can install Tweepy with the following command (for pip).

$ pip install tweepy

How to use Tweepy is described in Tweepy Documentation.

For example, to get and display your own timeline, do the following.

import tweepy

CONSUMER_KEY        = 'Your Consumer Key'
CONSUMER_SECRET     = 'Your Consumer Secret'
ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY    = 'Your Access Token'
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 'Your Access Token Secret'

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)
auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
api = tweepy.API(auth)

public_tweets = api.home_timeline()
for tweet in public_tweets:
    print tweet.text

Search & get images

Use ʻAPI.search ()` to search for keywords in Tweepy. To get the URL of the image from the search results, do as follows.

search_result = api.search(q=term)
for result in search_result:
    if result.entities.has_key('media'):
        for media in result.entities['media']:
            print media['media_url']

Finally, I download the image from the URL of the acquired image, If you add : orig to the end of the URL of the image, you can get the original image that has not been reduced. (Reference: You can get the original image by adding: orig to the image URL of Twitter (in some cases) --Yaruki Denized)
