Crawling Twitter Data using Tweepy

Question

Can somebody help me? I have an error code while crawling twitter data with Tweepy. Here the codes:

for tweet in tweepy.Cursor(api.search,q="#natuna",count=10, lang="id", since="2020-01-10").items(): 
    print (tweet.created_at, tweet.text)

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last) Input In [4], in () -> 1 for tweet in tweepy.Cursor(api.search,q="#natuna",count=10, 2 lang="id", 3 since="2020-01-10").items(): 4 print (tweet.created_at, tweet.text)

AttributeError: 'API' object has no attribute 'search'

api.search doesn’t exist (as stated in the output)

Instead you have to use api.search_tweets

for tweet in tweepy.Cursor(api.search_tweets,q="#natuna",count=10, lang="id", since="2020-01-10").items():
    print (tweet.created_at, tweet.text)
