Hi,

The CLI commands are not at all up to date, hence the messages. You can propose a pull request to fix this :)
It basically lies in adapting this piece of code https://github.com/sixohsix/twitter/blob/master/twitter/cmdline.py#L469-L486 to the current search api described there https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/search/tweets

Hi!

Thanks .. I unfortunately can't do that.
Shame, seems very useful :)

Hi Ms.zufanka.
I suggest just for your information,
How about you try git-clone this repository now?
So you execute setup.py in it and install the twitter.
Now, your codes must be executed successfully.

@boogheta I'm getting the same error when trying to post alt text along with images... is that related to this issue or am I doing something wrong on my end? Thanks.

Facing this issue as well

@kerstin Do you do so as explained at the bottom of the readme using the _json argument ? Support for alt text along images was added with #326 and should normally work using it.

@RouxRC I don't know rn since it's been a while since I used the library to do this. Also, we talked in the issue you linked – I said I could get it to work with a local version, but not with a cloud-hosted one that relies on the last version found on PyPI. (Not sure if you meant to say it should always work now or...?)
