Twitter Query including a list_id with tweepy python

I have created a Twitter List by the following lines:

    import tweepy
    
# name of the list
    name = "tweepy_list"
    
    client = tweepy.Client(consumer_key=consumer_key, consumer_secret=consumer_secret, access_token=access_token, access_token_secret=access_token_secret)
    l = client.create_list(name)
    id_l = l[0]['id']

Where id_l is the list id.

I have added users to the list by:

    client.add_list_member(id_l, user_id)

Now, I want to build a search query by this code and I want to include the list of users I previously created by:

    query = "{0} lang:es -is:retweet list:{1}:".format(topic, id_l)
    tweets = client.search_recent_tweets(query=query,
                                             tweet_fields = ["created_at", "text", "source"],
                                             user_fields = ["name", "username", "location", "verified", "description"],
                                             max_results = 10,
                                             expansions='author_id',
                                             user_auth=True
                                             )

But I am getting this error:

> BadRequest: 400 Bad Request
> There were errors processing your request: Reference to invalid operator 'list'. Operator is not available in current product or product packaging. Please refer to complete available operator list at https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api/enterprise/rules-and-filtering/operators-by-product

Can tweepy or another package support this kind of query from Twitter?

According to the Twitter documentation (here), the list operator is accessible only to the developpers with an elevated access. So the easiest solution would be to apply for a elevated access. You can also learn how to do that in the Twitter documentation (here).

On a side note: you are not using the value of the id_l variable in your query but litteraly the string 'id_l'. Don't forget to format it too (or to use f-strings).
