AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last) C:\Users\ADMINI~1\AppData\Local\Temp/ipykernel_11192/3895188609.py in 19 #Use csv Writer 20 csvWriter = csv.writer(csvFile) ---> 21 for tweet in tweepy.Cursor(api.search, q="#unitedAIRLINES",count=100, lang="en", since="2021-09-14").items(): 22 print (tweet.created_at, tweet.text) 23 csvWriter.writerow([tweet.created_at, tweet.text.encode('utf-8')])

AttributeError: 'API' object has no attribute 'search'

I am using the latest version of Anaconda Navigator 2.10 and jupyter Notebook 6.4.4.

I have regenerated API tokens. How do should I fix this?

I am getting the exact error reported above.

I had to upgrade my version of Anaconda and then installed tweepy version 4.1.0 and from there the following command is not working for me:

tweepy.Cursor(api.search, q=ht, since=since_date_str).items()

Any idea how to solve it? do I have to go back to a previous version of tweepy? if so, which version?
