I can't get public_metrics with method get_users_tweets

[profAndreHolanda]

Hi,

I'm having trouble recently with tweepy anda API V2
I can't get public_metrics with method get_users_tweets

This is what I have inside the paginator,

r=client.get_users_tweets(id=user_id,
tweet_fields='public_metrics',
start_time = '2022-06-10T18:02:14Z',
max_results=100)

only the r.data, is filled with .id and .text
I don't know if the metrics were supposed to be on .includes since they were not meant to be expansions (i think) but is empty anyway.

I could not understand the few explanations out there, nor could I find anyone else who did.

I hope you can help with this.

thanks in advance
Andre Holanda

here is the output os response 'r'
r
Out[48]: Response(data=[, , , , , ], includes={}, errors=[], meta={'result_count': 6, 'newest_id': '1536354739134283776', 'oldest_id': '1535421211848630274'})

r.data
Out[49]:
[,
,
,
,
,
]

r[0]
Out[56]:
[,
,
,
,
,
]

r[1]
Out[57]: {}

r[2]
Out[58]: []

r[3]
Out[59]:
{'result_count': 6,
'newest_id': '1536354739134283776',
'oldest_id': '1535421211848630274'}

Response.data should be a list of Tweet objects when returned from Client.get_users_tweets.
I'm not sure what's being returned here, but that shouldn't be possible, since it's not even valid Python syntax.
I'm unable to reproduce this. Do you have an example of this with a specific user_id?

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

Got it,
response = client.get_users_tweets(user_id,
tweet_fields=['text','created_at','public_metrics'],
start_time = '2022-06-10T18:02:14Z',
max_results=100)
for tweet in response.data:
print (tweet.public_metrics)

returns the dict public_metrics

{'retweet_count': 228, 'reply_count': 1354, 'like_count': 1562, 'quote_count': 76}
{'retweet_count': 189, 'reply_count': 0, 'like_count': 0, 'quote_count': 0}
{'retweet_count': 333, 'reply_count': 0, 'like_count': 0, 'quote_count': 0}
{'retweet_count': 595, 'reply_count': 0, 'like_count': 0, 'quote_count': 0}
{'retweet_count': 437, 'reply_count': 2808, 'like_count': 3702, 'quote_count': 406}
{'retweet_count': 984, 'reply_count': 1561, 'like_count': 6471, 'quote_count': 112}

Yes, that's working as expected.

I'm still unable to reproduce the output in your initial comment.
With the reproducible example from your deleted comment:

As you said, the Tweet objects are hidden when pasted outside a code block, due to the angle brackets.
Again, for code block usage, see https://docs.github.com/en/github/writing-on-github/working-with-advanced-formatting/creating-and-highlighting-code-blocks.

As for public_metrics not being printed when printing the Response object, see the FAQ section in the documentation about this:

If you are simply printing the objects and looking at that output, the string representations of API v2 models/objects only include the default fields that are guaranteed to exist.

The objects themselves still include the relevant data, which you can access as attributes or by subscription.
