How to get the replies for a given tweet with tweepy and python?

问题

After some searching I found a way to download the recent tweets from a given user. Now I want to get the replies for each tweet. I know that Twitter API does not provide an endpoint to get replies of a tweet unless we have a premium account. But I could find some workarounds in the internet. I found a way to get few tweets and their replies using Getting tweet replies to a particular tweet from a particular user. This code is also given below.

How can I modify my code (getData.py) to save the replies of each tweet along with the tweet in the csv?

My code to download a user's tweets as csv (getData.py)

import tweepy
import csv

# Twitter API credentials
consumer_key = "###########"
consumer_secret = "################"
access_key = "#################"
access_secret = "#####################"


def get_all_tweets(screen_name):
    # Twitter only allows access to a users most recent 3240 tweets with this method

    # authorize twitter, initialize tweepy
    auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)
    auth.set_access_token(access_key, access_secret)
    api = tweepy.API(auth)

    # initialize a list to hold all the tweepy Tweets
    alltweets = []

    # make initial request for most recent tweets (200 is the maximum allowed count)
    new_tweets = api.user_timeline(screen_name=screen_name, count=200)

    # save most recent tweets
    alltweets.extend(new_tweets)

    # save the id of the oldest tweet less one
    oldest = alltweets[-1].id - 1

    # keep grabbing tweets until there are no tweets left to grab
    while len(new_tweets) > 0:
        print
        "getting tweets before %s" % (oldest)

        # all subsiquent requests use the max_id param to prevent duplicates
        new_tweets = api.user_timeline(screen_name=screen_name, count=200, max_id=oldest)

        # save most recent tweets
        alltweets.extend(new_tweets)

        # update the id of the oldest tweet less one
        oldest = alltweets[-1].id - 1

        print
        "...%s tweets downloaded so far" % (len(alltweets))

    # transform the tweepy tweets into a 2D array that will populate the csv
    outtweets = [[tweet.id_str, tweet.created_at, tweet.text.encode("utf-8"), tweet.favorite_count, tweet.retweet_count]
                 for tweet in alltweets]

    # write the csv
    with open('%s_tweets.csv' % screen_name, mode='w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        writer = csv.writer(f)
        writer.writerow(["id", "created_at", "text"])
        writer.writerows(outtweets)

    pass

def main():
    get_all_tweets("tartecosmetics")


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

How I get the replies for a given tweet

This code will fetch 10 recent tweets of an user(name) along with the replies to that particular tweet.

replies=[]
non_bmp_map = dict.fromkeys(range(0x10000, sys.maxunicode + 1), 0xfffd)
for full_tweets in tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline,screen_name='tartecosmetics',timeout=999999).items(10):
  for tweet in tweepy.Cursor(api.search,q='to:'+'tartecosmetics',result_type='recent',timeout=999999).items(1000):
    if hasattr(tweet, 'in_reply_to_status_id_str'):
      if (tweet.in_reply_to_status_id_str==full_tweets.id_str):
        replies.append(tweet.text)
  print("Tweet :",full_tweets.text.translate(non_bmp_map))
  for elements in replies:
       print("Replies :",elements)
  replies.clear()

user_name = "@nameofuser"

replies = tweepy.Cursor(api.search, q='to:{}'.format(user_name),
                                since_id=tweet_id, tweet_mode='extended').items()
while True:
    try:
        reply = replies.next()
        if not hasattr(reply, 'in_reply_to_status_id_str'):
            continue
        if reply.in_reply_to_status_id == tweet_id:
           logging.info("reply of tweet:{}".format(reply.full_text))

    except tweepy.RateLimitError as e:
        logging.error("Twitter api rate limit reached".format(e))
        time.sleep(60)
        continue

    except tweepy.TweepError as e:
        logging.error("Tweepy error occured:{}".format(e))
        break

    except StopIteration:
        break

    except Exception as e:
        logger.error("Failed while fetching replies {}".format(e))
        break
