Python - API.destroy_favorite() in Tweepy

The destroy_favorite() method in Tweepy is used to un-favorite (or un-like) a specific tweet. To use this method, you need to provide the ID of the tweet you wish to un-favorite.

Here's how you can use the destroy_favorite() method in Tweepy:

  • First, you need to set up Tweepy with your Twitter credentials:
import tweepy # Your Twitter API credentials CONSUMER_KEY = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY' CONSUMER_SECRET = 'YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET' ACCESS_TOKEN = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN' ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET' # Authenticate with Tweepy auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET) auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET) api = tweepy.API(auth)
  • Now, you can un-favorite a tweet using the destroy_favorite() method:
tweet_id = 1234567890123456789 # Replace this with the ID of the tweet you wish to un-favorite try: api.destroy_favorite(id=tweet_id) print(f"Un-favorited the tweet with ID {tweet_id}") except tweepy.TweepError as e: print(f"Error: {e.reason}")

Make sure you have the necessary permissions (i.e., write permissions) in your Twitter developer dashboard for the app you're using. If you try to un-favorite a tweet that you haven't favorited or one that doesn't exist, Tweepy will raise an error, so it's a good idea to use a try-except block as shown above.
