Python - API.show_friendship() in Tweepy - GeeksforGeeks

07 Oct, 2021
Twitter is a popular social network where users share messages called tweets. Twitter allows us to mine the data of any user using Twitter API or Tweepy. The data will be tweets extracted from the user. The first thing to do is get the consumer key, consumer secret, access key, and access secret from the Twitter developer available easily for each user. These keys will help the API for authentication.
The show_friendship() method of the API class in Tweepy module is used to get the detailed relationship between two users.
Syntax : API.show_friendship(source_id / source_screen_name, target_id / target_screen_name)Parameters : 
source_id : specifies the ID of the user 1.
source_screen_name : specifies the screen name of the user 1.
target_id : specifies the ID of the user 2.
target_screen_name : specifies the screen name of the user 2.
Returns : an object of the class Friendship  
Example 1 : Analyzing friendships by using the screen names.
