Tweepy blank search

python, tweepy, twitter

Solution

`q` parameter is optional, `geocode` is too (see docs).

This works for me:

import tweepy

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(<consumer_key>, <consumer_secret>)
auth.set_access_token(<key>, <secret>)

api = tweepy.API(auth)

results = tweepy.api.search(geocode="38.376,-0.5,8km", rpp=1000)

for result in results:
    print result.text
    print result.location if hasattr(result, 'location') else "Undefined location"

Hope that helps.
