[PYTHON] Save the search results on Twitter to CSV.

A script that saves search results on Twitter to CSV. As usual, if there is no CSV file to write to, create it, Because it is a specification, if you execute it from the second time onwards, the CSV header will be duplicated, so It is necessary to take measures such as renaming the file name.

twcsv.py

#!/user/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1Session
import csv
import json
import sys, codecs



search_words = raw_input(u"Keyword?: ")

C_KEY = "******************************************"
C_SECRET = "******************************************"
A_KEY = "******************************************"
A_SECRET = "******************************************"



def Search_words():
	url = "https://api.twitter.com/1.1/search/tweets.json?"
	params = {
			"q": unicode(search_words, "utf-8"),
			"lang": "ja",
			"result_type": "recent",
			"count": "100"
			}
	tw = OAuth1Session(C_KEY,C_SECRET,A_KEY,A_SECRET)
	req = tw.get(url, params = params)
	tweets = json.loads(req.text)

	f = open("tweetsearch.csv" , "ab")
	writer = csv.writer(f)
	writer.writerow(["datetime", "id", "name", "text"])

	for tweet in tweets["statuses"]:
		time = (tweet["created_at"])
		id = (tweet["user"]["screen_name"].encode("utf-8"))
		name = (tweet["user"]["name"].encode("utf-8"))
		text = (tweet["text"].encode("utf-8"))
	
		writer.writerow([time, id, name, text])
	
	f.close()
	
	return Search_words
	
Search_words()

If you like the format of the data to be written to CSV, it may be easier to use by modifying it.

writer.writerow(["datetime", "id", "name", "text"])

Write the CSV header and the first line of CSV with. Because it is a header, you only have to write it once.

writer.writerow([time, id, name, text])

Write the content of the tweet acquired in this part to CSV.

What kind of person is tweeting what kind of tweet, when there are many tweets, etc. I think it's interesting to make a graph, but I don't have enough knowledge so far this time.
