Stream encountered HTTP error: 403

[kenryu42]

class Listener(tweepy.Stream):
    def on_status(self, status):
        print(status.user.screen_name + ": " + status.text)


stream_tweet = Listener(api_key, api_key_secret, access_token, access_token_secret)

keywords = ["2002", "#python"]

stream_tweet.sample()

I am getting "Stream encountered HTTP error: 403" when using the above code.
Other method such as home_timeline etc is working fine.

I am using tweepy 4.8.0 and python 3.9.10 on Mac OS.
I have Elavated Access of twitter developers api.

Is anyone experiencing the same errors or have any ideas for making the stream work?

I was also getting the same error while using tweepy.Streams but it has been deprecated if your App is new. After I changed to tweepy.StreamingClient and it was working well.

thanks, It works. But I am trying to find screen_name of the tweet author. But it looks like there is no way to do in tweepy.StreamingClient. Any helps will be appreciated

You can use the referenced_tweets.id.author_id expansion.

Are you using a Twitter Developer App created on or after last Friday (2022-04-29)?

Yes! I just created the app yesterday!

Could you share some of your code?
And are you enabling both OAuth 2.0 and OAuth 1.0a for your app?

[Harmon758]

New Apps:

will not be able to gain access to v1.1 statuses/sample and v1.1 statuses/filter

https://twittercommunity.com/t/deprecation-announcement-removing-compliance-messages-from-statuses-filter-and-retiring-statuses-sample-from-the-twitter-api-v1-1/170500

You'll have to use Twitter API v2.

I have the same problem as you: my permissions are also enabled. Then it is too outrageous to not use 403, and the version is also 4.8.0

I have enabled both 2.0 and 1.0a.
What I did was create a whole new app (just so that everythin goes well), Enabled both 2.0 and 1.0a with read and write perms.

Then I used tweepy.StreamingClient as it's of v2.0.
Here is a piece of code:

auth = tweepy.OAuth1UserHandler(
    consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token, access_token_secret
)
api = tweepy.API(auth)

class ConnectionTester(tweepy.StreamingClient):
    def on_tweet(self, tweet: tweepy.Tweet):
        id = tweet.id
        api.retweet(id)

stream = ConnectionTester(bearer_token)
stream.add_rules(
    [
        tweepy.StreamRule("#Python"),
        tweepy.StreamRule("#Tweepy"),
    ]
)
stream.filter()

Any update about this problem? I have the exact same problem

[Harmon758]

What problem are you referring to? This answer isn't about a problem.

Thanks, it works! how to find screen_name from tweet object?
i recall on_status method in StreamListener has status.user.screen_name attribute..

You can get that through get_user()
https://docs.tweepy.org/en/v4.10.0/api.html#tweepy.API.get_user

If you want the username while using StreamingClient, you can use the referenced_tweets.id.author_id expansion.
