A galaxy of children who've only seen red.

Unofficial Twitter API's wrapped in a nice present.

What?

This package wraps around the unofficial "internal" twitter API's to provide a similar as the previous free rate limits.

How?

Usage is pretty simple.

import asyncio

from RedGalaxy import TwitterUser, SessionManager, Tweet, User, TwitterSearch


async def main():
    sm = SessionManager("__BEARER_TOKEN__")

    # Contains endpoints for specific tweets and users.
    twitUser = TwitterUser()

    # If no SessionManager is provided, it will use a default bearer token.
    # You can access the "default" instance with a `global_instance` import.
    # twitUser = TwitterUser(sm)

    # Returns a dataclass tweet
    tweet: Tweet = await twitUser.get_tweet(1622961462032445440)
    print(tweet.content)
    # print(tweet.user) # To access the user. object.

    # Orr get retrieve a user.
    user: User = await twitUser.get_user("TwitterDev")

    # Wraps around Twitter search api...
    twitSearch = TwitterSearch()

    # Searching is done by an async generator. Search parameters are the same as web UI paramters. 
    async for tweet in twitSearch.search("(from:SYACVG) lol", limit=10, mode="latest"):
        # Same as get_tweet(), returns a tweet dataclass.
        print(tweet)

    # Stream works in a similar way.
    async for tweet in twitSearch.stream("(from:SYACVG) lol", limit=10, mode="latest"):
        # Same as get_tweet(), returns a tweet dataclass.
        print(tweet)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    asyncio.run(main())

Why?

Because blame the "SpaceX" Guy. Yes really. This is mainly out of spite lol.

Notes?

Search/Stream notes:
- Twitter search/stream does have some character limits. Which makes it not ideal for 20+ users filtered streams. You can chunk them into multiple different search/streams.
- Not to sure if it will catch shadowbanned users. The bearer token I use should alleviate this issue, but Your mileage may vary.

TODO

Add API's for uploading and sending tweets.
Backtracking for streams. If the stream is going too fast, there will be dropped tweets.

Bugs?

There will be bugs. Mainly some more extreme testing would be nice.
