Tweepy: Truncated Tweets When Using Tweet_mode='extended'

This is my code in python import tweepy import csv consumer_key = '?' consumer_secret = '?' access_token = '?' access_token_secret = '?' auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key,

Solution 1:

I've had the same problem as you recently, this happened for the retweets only, I found that you can find the full text under here: tweet._json['retweeted_status']['full_text']

Code snippet:

...
search_tweets = api.search('trump',count=1,tweet_mode='extended')
for tweet in search_tweets:
    if'retweeted_status'in tweet._json:
        print(tweet._json['retweeted_status']['full_text'])
    else:
        print(tweet.full_text)
...

EDIT Also please note that this won't show RT @.... at the beginning of the text, you might wanna add RT at the start of the text, whatever suits you.

EDIT 2 You can get the name of the author of the tweet and add it as the beginning as follows

retweet_text = 'RT @ ' + api.get_user(tweet.retweeted_status.user.id_str).screen_name

Solution 2:

This worked for me :

if'retweeted_status'instatus._json:
   if'extended_tweet'instatus._json['retweeted_status']:
      text = 'RT @'+status._json['retweeted_status']['user']['screen_name']+':'+status._json['retweeted_status']['extended_tweet']['full_text']
   else:
      text = 'RT @'+status._json['retweeted_status']['user']['screen_name']+':' +status._json['retweeted_status']['text']
else:
   if'extended_tweet'instatus._json:
      text = status._json['extended_tweet']['full_text']
   else:
      text = status.text
