main()If you prefer working with object-oriented concepts, you may prefer receiving a class. However, be aware that the returned JSON from syndication is undocumented, so errors or data loss may occur during conversion to a class.
Requires the installation of pydantic.
pip install python-tweet[pydantic]import asyncio
import json
from pytweet import get_tweet
async def main():
tweet_id = "1803774806980022720"
tweet = await get_tweet(tweet_id)
with open(f"{tweet_id}.json", "w") as f:
json.dump(tweet.model_dump(mode="json"), f, indent=2)
if __name__ == '__main__':
asyncio.run(main())If you are using Pydantic but want to receive a dict, pass the as_dict argument to the get_tweet function.
- Return a Tweet class instead a raw dict.
