Twitter API: Get a list of accounts that you follow but are not followed back

The more followers you have, the harder it is to do this manually. It's a waste of time ... So I decided to make it semi-automated. In addition, since the number of followers has not reached 10,000 yet, I would like to manually perform the unfollowing work while actually visually observing the target account. Script up to get the account list.

There are web apps / websites on the net that can do that, but I'm a little scared to use them, so I decided to make my own.

code

#unfollow_list.py
import tweepy
 
keys = dict(
    screen_name =         '[Twitter account name (screen_name)]',
    consumer_key =        '[Consumer key]',
    consumer_secret =     '[Consumer secret]',
    access_token =        '[Access token]',
    access_token_secret = '[Access token secret]',
)
 
SCREEN_NAME = keys['screen_name']
CONSUMER_KEY = keys['consumer_key']
CONSUMER_SECRET = keys['consumer_secret']
ACCESS_TOKEN = keys['access_token']
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = keys['access_token_secret']
 
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)
auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
    
followers = api.followers_ids(SCREEN_NAME)
friends = api.friends_ids(SCREEN_NAME)


for f in friends:
    if f not in followers:
        print(api.get_user(f).screen_name)

Run


$ python unfollow_list.py

If you want to put it in a file, copy it.

Supplement

If you want the program to automatically remove it, add the api.destroy_friendship (f) statement after the print (api.get_user (f) .screen_name).

However, it is better to check each one manually at the beginning. There are quite a few list-up errors (even though they are properly followed, they come into the target list)
