Tweepy Streaming API returning “None” for coordinates on geo-enabled tweets

Question

I am using Tweepy to access the streaming API. I am able to get results with the code below but for tweets where the Geo Enabled value is \"True\" I am getting a Coordinates

Answer 1

The problem is not related to tweepy itself.

For example, see this tweet (https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show.json?id=341458303064354817&include_entities=true) - it has geo_enabled set to true while geo, coordinates and place equal to null.

According to twitter docs:

geo_enabled: When true, indicates that the user has enabled the possibility of geotagging their Tweets.

So, it's not a strict rule that there will be location info in the tweet data if geo_enabled is true. Just check if status.geo or status.coordinates are not None in your listener.

Hope that helps.
