favorited not working

[venturaEffect]

Hi everyone!

I've set a code that I've found on one tutorial. And after changing some parts because of being outdated I still get into a problem. The problem is that I check if a tweet is already liked but some how the conditional if not tweet.favorited doesn't work.

Here the code:

import tweepy
import time

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler("Consumer Key here", "Consumer Secret here")
auth.set_access_token("Access Token here","Access Token Secret here")

api = tweepy.API(auth, wait_on_rate_limit=True)


search = "#crypto OR #nft"
nrTweets = 500

for tweet in tweepy.Cursor(api.search_tweets, search).items(nrTweets):
    try:
    
        if not tweet.favorited:
            tweet.favorite()
            print("Tweet Liked")
        time.sleep(240)
    except tweepy.errors.TweepError as e:
        print(e.reason)
    except StopIteration:
        break

And here the response I get on the terminal:

zaesar@zaesar-X541UV:~/Escritorio/coding/python-twitter-bot$ python3 twitter.py

    raise Forbidden(resp)
tweepy.errors.Forbidden: 403 Forbidden
139 - You have already favorited this status.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/zaesar/Escritorio/coding/python-twitter-bot/twitter.py", line 19, in <module>
    except tweepy.errors.TweepError as e:
AttributeError: module 'tweepy.errors' has no attribute 'TweepError'

Any help will be really appreciated as I'm a newbie.

You'll want to regenerate your credentials now, if you haven't already.

Also, note, like the error says, TweepError doesn't exist anymore.

From Tweepy's documentation on API.search_tweets:

In API v1.1, the response format of the Search API has been improved to return Tweet objects more similar to the objects you’ll find across the REST API and platform. However, perspectival attributes (fields that pertain to the perspective of the authenticating user) are not currently supported on this endpoint. ¹²
