Could we please get an example of the Stream function in python. Everything I'm finding on the web is old and no longer works.

[Harmon758]

This is pretty high priority for me right now, especially with 5fa6e73 done.
I'll have an example for it committed soon.

[Harmon758]

For now though, see the reference documentation for Stream and the page on streaming in the documentation.

[Harmon758]

I've added a basic example of streaming, with 56f1547, based on the existing documentation.

Thank you for your help and effort in this project, I can work with that example. I appreciate the quick reply. If you could indulge me with one more question, is it possible to stream from a list? Ultimately I'm trying to create a list of influencers and stream new tweets from the people on the list to examine sentiment over a given time frame. Thanks again, Jeff

Yes, Stream.filter accepts a list of user IDs for the follow parameter.

[jdc4429]

Thank you again, you're awesome. I am still learning Python so it's difficult to do anything without examples. I'm not sure how to reference the list itself... follow (*Optional**[**List* <https://docs.tweepy.org/en/v4.2.0/models.html#tweepy.models.List>*[**Union* *[**int* <https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#int>*, **str* <https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str>*]**]**]*) Do I just put the list ID? I have no idea what Union does and it seems this doesn't work. streamit.filter(follow=["1454607810474426375"], languages=["en"])

The Union just means you can specify the IDs as either integers or strings.

This should work if streamit is defined properly and 1454607810474426375 is a valid user ID.

Did you mean a Twitter list or a Python list?
If you meant a Twitter list, you'll need to retrieve the members of that list first.
See the documentation for API.get_list_members.

[jdc4429]

Thank you, I just figured that out. I was assuming that you could just enter a list_id to follow. Didn't realize that you needed to pull all the id's in the list and then send those. What happens when you assume. lol Thanks again for all your help. Enjoy your day.
