List statuses request fails

[appskitchen]

Hi,
I'm trying to get statuses for a custom list that I created. I tried the following codes, but it throws me error -

  let params = {
    list_id: XXXXX,
    slug: 'list1',
    owner_screen_name: 'username',
    count: 5,
    include_entities: true,
    include_rts: false
  };
  let T = new Twit({
    consumer_key : 'APP_CONSUMER_KEY',
    consumer_secret : 'APP_CONSUMER_SECRET',
    access_token : 'APP_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    access_token_secret : 'APP_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET',
    timeout_ms: 60*1000
  });

   T.get('lists/statuses', params, function(err, data, response){
      if(!err){
        console.log(data);
      }else{
        return next(err);
      }
  });

The error I get

Error: Sorry, that page does not exist.

btw, Other call works(ex: home timeline). Appreciate your help.
Thanks

In your T.get method call, where is next() defined, or is it available through a closure to the callback function?

[appskitchen]

@IonBlueDesign It sends request to next matching route(I'm using express). More - https://stackoverflow.com/a/10695714

I'm looking at the docs for Twitter api statuses/list, and it seems like that params object should work. Are you sure a list actually exists for the values on that object?

And what does that even mean, "custom list"?

[appskitchen]

@JimTheMan I first sent a called to Twitter api lists/list to get the list ID that I've created and used that list ID for the above call. Did you able to get a results from lists/list?

I got the same error by using list_id. I use together slug and owner_screen_name both and it works.

[appskitchen]

@og24715 I used list_id, slug, owner_screen_name(as you might see my sample codes above) but it says page doesnt exist. Do I need to enable anything at twitter? My list is public too!

[appskitchen]

@og24715 Could you share sample codes that you used? Appreciate your help.

Hi @appskitchen

Im sorry for the late reply because I was visiting my parents.
Here is my codes and I did not do anything at Twitter.
I hope help you 😉

const T = new Twit({
  consumer_key: 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY',
  consumer_secret: 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET',
  access_token: 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
  access_token_secret: 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET',
  timeout_ms: 60 * 1000,
});

(async () => {
  try {
    const lists = await T.get('lists/list', { screen_name: 'og24715' });
    for (list of lists.data) {
      console.log(`\n****** list name: ${list.name}\n`);
      const tweets = await T.get('lists/statuses', {
        slug: list.slug,
        owner_screen_name: list.user.screen_name,
        count: 5,
      });
      for (tweet of tweets.data) {
        console.log(`@${tweet.user.screen_name}\n ${tweet.text}`);
      }
    }
  } catch (e) {
    throw e;
  }
})();

@appskitchen

Oops

I guess that no need specify list_id to request lists/statuses if you have specified slug and owner_screen_name. We can check there in Twitter documentation.

You can identify a list by its slug instead of its numerical id(*). If you decide to do so, note that you’ll also have to specify the list owner using the owner_id or owner_screen_name parameters.

https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/accounts-and-users/create-manage-lists/api-reference
* is the list_id

But, I know that an error as page does not exist will occur, by provide only list_id to T.get() .
I guess this problem caused by using list_id, so this issue title may be more accurate to say "Can not request lists/statuses using list_id".

@og24715 Great catch. It does work with slug and owner_screen_name but not with list_id (for me atleast). Thanks Hirakawa
