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

Question

I'm trying to get tweets using tweepy but I am running into this error:

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

Code:

import tweepy

# Authentication
consumerKey = "Type your consumer key here"
consumerSecret = "Type your consumer secret here"
accessToken = "Type your accedd token here"
accessTokenSecret = "Type your access token secret here"

auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumerKey, consumerSecret)
auth.set_access_token(accessToken, accessTokenSecret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
#Sentiment Analysis

def percentage(part,whole):
    return 100 * float(part)/float(whole) 

keyword = input("Please enter keyword or hashtag to search: ")
noOfTweet = int(input ("Please enter how many tweets to analyze: "))


tweets = tweepy.Cursor(api.search, q=keyword).items(noOfTweet)

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

Use:

tweets = tweepy.Cursor(api.search(q=keyword)).items(noOfTweet)

Answer 2

use api.search_tweets instead of api.search
tweepy v.4.0.0 has changed it..
