Problem to retweet et follow someone

Hi all,

I have a script to identify certain tweet (script from issue https://github.com/bear/python-twitter/issues/395 )

The script works well to identify the Tweets but i have trouble with retweeting/following the person whi posted these tweets

The piece of code (i didn’t put the credentials/identification to API etc…) :

results = api.GetSearch(raw_query="q=rt%20follow%20gagner%20lang%3Afr")
    
#Parsing JSON

for elt in results:
    id_tweet = elt.id_str
    screenname = elt.user.screen_name
    print(id_tweet)
    print(screenname)
    #retweet+follow
    twitter.api.Api.PostRetweet(id_tweet, trim_user=True)
    print("retweet : ",id_tweet)
    twitter.api.Api.CreateFriendship(screen_name=screenname)
    print("Follow: ",screen_name)
    #pause
    time.sleep(15)
print("Successful script!")
os.system("PAUSE")

I have the error “TypeError: PostRetweet() missing 1 required positional argument: ‘status_id’” with the line of retweet and the error “TypeError: CreateFriendship() missing 1 required positional argument: ‘self’” with the line of following .

I think i have missed something in the documentation but i don’t see what.

Thanks i advance for your help 😉

thanks @alliocha1805 for the original report and sticking with us during debug and testing

it’s great working with devs who don’t just toss an issue and then never hang around

twitter.api.Api.PostRetweet(id_tweet, trim_user=True) and twitter.api.Api.CreateFriendship(screen_name=screenname) should be api.PostRetweet(id_tweet, trim_user=True) and api.CreateFriendship(screen_name=screenname)
