I am trying to retrieve Twitter data using Tweepy, using that below code, but it returns 401 error, and I regenerated the access and secret tokens but didnt make a difference
#Import the necessary methods from tweepy library
from tweepy.streaming import StreamListener
from tweepy import OAuthHandler
from tweepy import Stream
#Variables that contains the user credentials to access Twitter API
access_token = "ENTER YOUR ACCESS TOKEN"
access_token_secret = "ENTER YOUR ACCESS TOKEN SECRET"
consumer_key = "ENTER YOUR API KEY"
consumer_secret = "ENTER YOUR API SECRET"
#This is a basic listener that just prints received tweets to stdout.
class StdOutListener(StreamListener):
def on_data(self, data):
print data
return True
def on_error(self, status):
print status
if __name__ == '__main__':
#This handles Twitter authetification and the connection to Twitter Streaming API
l = StdOutListener()
auth = OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
stream = Stream(auth, l)
#This line filter Twitter Streams to capture data by the keywords: 'python', 'javascript', 'ruby'
stream.filter(track=['python', 'javascript', 'ruby'])
The code is available here
I know for a fact that all the other things in the code are right and there are no syntax or authentication error. I read in an answer for the question that 401 error is also because of server-client time difference.
My question is: To what do I set my system time to overcome this error? Or in other words how do I know the server time so as to change my system time?
