How to call Twitter oEmbed API using python requests?

I am trying to get the JSON response from twitter oEmbed API using python's requests library. The tweet ID that I tried to pass in was 1221064170248065024. And here's the code that I have used for making a request to the API. 

import requests

tweet_id = '463440424141459456'
embReqUrl = 'https://publish.twitter.com/oembedurl=https://twitter.com/Interior/status/'+tweet_id
embResp = requests.post(embReqUrl)

After that, when I go for checking the HTTP status of my response using embResp.status_code, it is giving me a 405 status code. What's the right way to do it?

Please help

Solution

  • You’ve used a POST method, but this API expects a GET.

    embResp = requests.get(embReqUrl)
print(embResp.status_code)  
print(embResp.json())
