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

[ajc356]

I'm having problems accessing historical content using both of the new search_full_archive and search_30_day features. I've updated tweepy to Version: 3.9.0, yet still when I try to run either api.search_full_archive or api.search_30_day I get AttributeError: 'API' object has no attribute 'search_full_archive'... however when I do the equivalent search using regular api.search I get results as expected.

I will note that I am using the free sandbox versions and do have different environment names for my 30-days sandbox and my full-history sandbox.

Any thoughts?

api = tweepy.API(auth, parser=tweepy.parsers.JSONParser(), wait_on_rate_limit=True, wait_on_rate_limit_notify=True)

test = api.search_30_day(environment_name='30daycerb', q = '#cerb')

my_new_tweets = api.search_full_archive(environment_name='cerbhistory', query='#CERB')

For some reason, the latest tweepy package doesn't ship with the latest version of the api.py file, which includes the search_30_day, and search_full_archive methods.

However, the latest version of the code on GitHub does include these methods.

To solve your issue try uninstalling tweepy:

pip uninstall tweepy

and then install it directly from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git

This fixed the issue for me, and I hope it does for you too.

I had the same issue with the search methods and this solved it for me too. thanks for the help!

API.search_full_archive and API.search_30_day are currently only in the development version on the master branch.
In the future, please make sure you're using the latest development version when reporting issues.

See the installation instructions in the documentation for how to install from the repository.

To solve your issue try uninstalling tweepy:

pip uninstall tweepy

and then install it directly from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy.git

Uninstalling to reinstall shouldn't be necessary; using the --upgrade flag should work fine.
