TypeError: __init__() takes 3 positional arguments but 5 were given

Question

import tweepy
import pandas as pd

consumer_key="xxxxxx"
consumer_secret="xxxxxxx"
access_token="xxxx-xxxx"
access_token_secret="xxxx"

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
from tweepy.streaming import Stream
class Listener(tweepy.Stream):

  def on_status(self, status):
    print(status.user.screen_name + ":" + status.text)

stream_tweet = Listener(consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token, access_token_secret)

#streams by keyword 

keywords = ['2022', '#python']

stream_tweet.filter(track=keywords)

Error

Answer 1

class Listener(StreamListener):

    def on_data(self, data):
        print(data)
        return True

    def on_error(self, status):
        print(status)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # This handles Twitter authentication and connection to Twitter Streaming API
    auth = OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
    auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
    stream = Stream(auth, Listener())
    stream.filter(track=['python'])

Used this code : Working

Answer 2

You're using Tweepy v4 syntax with an older version of Tweepy (e.g. Tweepy v3.10.0).
Tweepy v4.0.0 changed Stream to allow passing credentials like that when initializing, instead of auth and listener parameters.
