Twython filters track and follow

Question

i need obtain tweets in real time with filters and certain accounts. I try with this:

filtro="messi,copa100,copaamierica"
personas="488916863,3034605958" #twitters ids here
stream.statuses.filter(track=filtro, follow=[personas])

but only use the track filter, not the follow filter.

Anybody help me with this? Thanks!! Bruno

Answer 1

I think you are using filter method wrongly. It should be:

filtro= ["messi", "copa100", "copaamierica"]   # Exact matching of keywords
personas= ["488916863", "3034605958"]      # Comma-separated User ids 
stream.statuses.filter(track = filtro, follow = personas)
