How To Get Only The Text Of The Tweets Into A Json File

So i am working on a project using twitterAPI for tweet collection of different keywords using specific longitude and latitudes. I crawled the data for my tweets the data is a list

Solution 1:

First thing you need to do is change the below code as:

defsave_to_json(obj, filename):
    withopen(filename, 'a') as fp:
        json.dump(obj, fp, indent=4, sort_keys=True) 

You need to change the mode in which file is open because of the below reason.

w: Opens in write-only mode. The pointer is placed at the beginning of the file and this will overwrite any existing file with the same name. It will create a new file if one with the same name doesn't exist.

a: Opens a file for appending new information to it. The pointer is placed at the end of the file. A new file is created if one with the same name doesn't exist.

Also, there is no meaning of sort_keys as you are only passing a string and not a dict. Similarly, there is no meaning of indent=4 for strings.

If you need some indexing with the tweet text you can use the below code:

tweets = {}    
for i, tweet inenumerate(x1_tweets):
    tweets[i] = tweet['text']
save_to_json(tweets,'bat.json')

The above code will create a dict with index to the tweet and write to the file once all tweets are processed.

And if you just need the text of the tweets without the index you can use string aggregation or use list and append all the text from tweet in that list and write that to the output file.
