twitter-text-python is a Tweet parser and formatter for Python. Amongst many things, the tasks that can be performed by this module are :
- reply : The username of the handle to which the tweet is being replied to.
- users : All the usernames mentioned in the tweet.
- tags : All the hashtags mentioned in the tweet.
- urls : All the URLs mentioned in the tweet.
- html : Adds hyperlinks to the fields mentioned above.
Example 1 :
# import the twitter-text-python module from ttp import ttp # the text to be parsed tweet_text = ("@twitter Sample tweet containing different components." + # instantiating the Parser p = ttp.Parser() # parsing the text result = p.parse(tweet_text) # printing the username of the # account being replied to print("The username being replied to is : " + result.reply) # printing all the usernames # mentioned in the tweet print("\nAll the usernames mentioned are : " + str(result.users)) # printing all the hashtags # mentioned in the tweet print("\nAll the hashtags mentioned are : " + str(result.tags)) # printing all the URLs # mentioned in the tweet print("\nAll the URLs mentioned are : " + str(result.urls)) # adding hyperlinks to usernames, # hashtags and URLs print(result.html) |
Output :
The username being replied to is : twitter
All the usernames mentioned are : [‘twitter’, ‘TwitterIndia’]
All the hashtags mentioned are : [‘gfg’, ‘tweeple’]
All the URLs mentioned are : [‘https://twitter.com’]
@twitter Sample tweet containing different components.#gfg #tweeple Visit : https://twitter.com @TwitterIndia
Example 2 : We can also find the position of string (POS) by doing include_spans = True.
# import the twitter-text-python module from ttp import ttp # the text to be parsed tweet_text = ("@twitter Sample tweet containing different components." + # instantiating the Parser # with spans p = ttp.Parser(include_spans = True) # parsing the text result = p.parse(tweet_text) # printing all the usernames # mentioned in the tweet with POS print("All the usernames mentioned are : " + str(result.users)) # printing all the hashtags # mentioned in the tweet with POS print("\nAll the hashtags mentioned are : " + str(result.tags)) # printing all the URLs # mentioned in the tweet with POS print("\nAll the URLs mentioned are : " + str(result.urls)) |
Output :
All the usernames mentioned are : [(‘twitter’, (0, 8)), (‘TwitterIndia’, (130, 143))]
All the hashtags mentioned are : [(‘gfg’, (96, 100)), (‘tweeple’, (101, 109))]
All the URLs mentioned are : [(‘https://twitter.com’, (76, 95))]
