# By Deafult it uses a Guest Session.
# Try to fetch data without login first, i.e. with a guest session. Use logged in sessions only if required.


# If you want to use it with logged in session, use any one of the followings to generate a logged in session.

# Multiple Ways of generating Sessions.

> # DON'T USE ALL THREE, JUST USE ANY ONE OF THE FOLLOWINGS.

# twitter.generate_session(auth_token="auth_token_here") #-- Use Auth-Token to Login
# twitter.login(username=username, password=password, email=email, phone=phone) #-- Use credentials to login.
# twitter.load_session() #-- Load session from local storage if u previously saved some session with twitter.save_session()

user_data = twitter.get_user_data("elonmusk")

# clean the data
elon_musk = User(user_data)
elon_musk.dict() # if you want to have the data in a python dict.

# IF YOU WANT TO HAVE MORE CONTROL OVER THE DATA OR MAYBE WANT TO FETCH SOME CUSTOM FIELDS, FEEL FREE TO CHECK find_nested_key function MENTIONED BELOW.

# YOU CAN ALSO PASS NESTED KEYS IN A TUPLE IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE SIMILIAR KEYS IN THE DATASET. (CHECK BELOW)

# Get all the username from the tweets.

user_tweets = twitter.get_user_tweets("elonmusk",total=50)
# Now say if you want to get tweet creation time which is stored in created_at key.

# you will usually do find_nested_key(user_tweets,"created_at") if you take a look at the dataset, there are multiple created_at keys. One is for tweet datetime and other is for user account creation time.

# In our case it is for the "name" key in the datapoints list. One is for user full name (its inside legacy > name), the other is for the category name (its inside professional > category > name).
# But you only wanted to get user's full name (which is inside legacy > name) but also the other values inside the datapoints list.
