tweepy.errors.Unauthorized: 401 Unauthorized 89 - Invalid or expired token.

[ParkJunYeop]

I have an API version2 of the following keys:
consumer_key,consumer_secret_key,access_token,access_token_secret

and I'm having this error:
tweepy.errors.Unauthorized: 401 Unauthorized
89 - Invalid or expired token.

I actually made system time to UTF. And I don't know why this is happening!
Do I have to do something more for the time?
Could you please help me?

The following code is what I'm currently working on

auth = tweepy.OAuth1UserHandler(consumer_key,consumer_secret_key)

auth.set_access_token(access_token,access_token_secret)

api = tweepy.API(auth)
print(api)
def twitter_search(outfilename, keyword):
result = []

for i in range(1,4):
    tweets = api.search_tweets(keyword)
    result = []
    for tweet in tweets:
        result.append([tweet.created_at, tweet.id_str, tweet.text, tweet.favorite_count,tweet.retweet_count])
    result = sorted(result, key=lambda x:-x[-2]) 
df = pd.DataFrame(result, columns = ['time','id','text','likey','retweet'])

print(len(result)) 
print(df) 

#df to csv
df.to_csv(outfilename, encoding = 'utf-8-sig')

if name=="main":
outfilename = 'tweet_search.csv'
keyword = '~~~~'
twitter_search(outfilename, keyword)

Double check that your credentials are correct. Regenerate them if necessary.

For code block usage, see https://docs.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks.

I actually regenerated several times already but it still gives me the same error.
But using Bearer token was fine. It worked!

And it says I already pulled about 10,000 tweets even though I wasn't able to do it even once...
Is that because of the bearer token that I used before?

Does selecting Read and write and Direct message from User authentication settings matters? I chose that...
Not the Read and write one.

i am having a similar problem. i dont understand what youve said

[benjamin32561]

I am using the API Key and Secret and it does not work, how did you solve it?

[jerryola1]

He said using Bearer token. I am also have same issue right now.

[Harmon758]

It's almost certainly an issue with the actual credentials or how you're passing them.
Bearer tokens are used with Twitter API v2 and shouldn't be relevant to API, Tweepy's interface for Twitter API v1.1.

I'm not sure where you're seeing that, but that shouldn't be relevant to this issue.

No, the error indicates your credentials are invalid.

[ParkJunYeop]

Then should I use API v1.1 consumer_key,consumer_secret_key,access_token,access_token_secret?

[Harmon758]

API, Tweepy's interface for Twitter API v1.1, requires those credentials to authenticate with user context, yes.

[ParkJunYeop]

But when I typed in the tokens, I get this message even though I had already upgraded to 'elevated' level.

If you need access to this endpoint, you'll need to apply for Elevated access via the Developer Portal

,which is why I tried to use API v2

[Harmon758]

Assuming you mean it says Tweepy API v1.1 requires Elevated access, this is true, as the error you're likely seeing indicates.

That's unrelated to this issue though.
