Just playing with the cursor method for tweep / twitter api

cursor_tweepy.py

# uses tweepys/twitter api, using the cursor method here
# http://tweepy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/cursor_tutorial.html

import tweepy                               # pip install tweepy

# Consumer keys and access tokens, used for OAuth
consumer_key = ''
consumer_secret = ''
access_token = ''
access_token_secret = ''

# OAuth process, using the keys and tokens
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)

api = tweepy.API(auth)

for status in tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline, id = '3aw693').items(10): #show last 10 items of @3aw693
#for status in tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline, id = '55432787', since_id = 556950228775874560).items(): #show all tweets for @3aw693 after tweet #id
    print("@%s -- %s (%s)" % (status.author.screen_name, status.text, status.id))
