Tweepy Returns 414 Error Retrieving Status Of Only Most Recent Tweet

Solution 1:

I solved the issue. api.get_user returns a ton of data for the user that isn't necessarily their user ID or anything relevant. You can forgo the user = api.get_user('name') bit entirely and just do:

for status in api.user_timeline(screen_name='any_name_you_like', count=1, trimuser=1):
    status = str(status.id)
