Error at connecting to REST Twiiter API with python

I am trying to connect to the Twitter REST API. I downloaded the twitter packages with pi in the command line. In another program I did I could connect to the stream Twitter API. This is my code:

Import the necessary package to process data in JSON format

try:
    import json
    except ImportError:
    import simplejson as json

# Import the necessary methods from "twitter" library
from twitter import Twitter, OAuth, TwitterHTTPError, TwitterStream

# Variables that contains the user credentials to access Twitter API
ACCESS_TOKEN = ''
ACCESS_SECRET = ''
CONSUMER_KEY = ''
CONSUMER_SECRET = ''
oauth = OAuth(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_SECRET, CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET)

twitter = Twitter(auth=OAuth)

twitter.statuses.home_timeline()

I am getting this error:

line 263, in __call__
headers.update(self.auth.generate_headers())
TypeError: generate_headers() missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

How can I fix it?

Solution

  • I believe what you are trying to do is

    twitter = Twitter(auth=oauth)
