Bear with me, since I am still learning Python..
I want to be able to see the most trending tweets for a specific hashtag. I am able to find trending tweets and I am able to find tweets with a specific hashtag but I am at a loss when trying to combine these two.
import tweepy
CONSUMER_KEY = 'key'
CONSUMER_SECRET = 'secret'
OAUTH_TOKEN = 'key'
OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET = 'secret'
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)
auth.set_access_token(OAUTH_TOKEN, OAUTH_TOKEN_SECRET)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
trends = api.trends_place(1)
search_hashtag = tweepy.Cursor(api.search, q='hashtag').items(5000)
for tweet in search_hashtag:
print json.dumps(tweet)
print json.dumps(trends, indent=1)
This is what i have now that is working..
Thanks!
