Getting trending topics from Twitter using tweepy. Is there a better way of doing it?

Question

#import time
import tweepy
#import csv
import keys

#WOEID 455825
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler("", "")
auth.set_access_token("",
                      "")


auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(keys.consumer_key,
                           keys.consumer_secret)

auth.set_access_token(keys.access_token,


                      keys.access_token_secret)

api = tweepy.API(auth, wait_on_rate_limit = True,
                 wait_on_rate_limit_notify = True)


trends_available = api.trends_available()

print(f"Number of Trends availables: {len(trends_available)}")
print()
rj_trends = api.trends_place(id =23424768 )
#23424768 Brasil
#print(f"RJ trending topics: \n{rj_trends}")
for trend in rj_trends:
    for i in trend.values():
        for x in i:
            if x["tweet_volume"] is not None:
                if  x["tweet_volume"] > 10000:
                     print(x["name"], x["tweet_volume"])

Example of output:

#PINKChella1Year 49997
#ConcertForBTS 108750

I have used a lot of nested for and nested if.Is there a clever way to get trending topics? The code is working but I do not know I got an error :

 if x["tweet_volume"] is not None:
TypeError: string indices must be integers

How to fix it?

Answer 1

In this case rj_trends is a list containing a dictionary containing a list.

So you can do this:

trends = []
for trend in rj_trends[0]['trends']: 
    if trend['tweet_volume'] is not None and trend['tweet_volume'] > 10000: 
        trends.append((trend['name'], trend['tweet_volume']))

trends.sort(key=lambda x:-x[1])

Result:
