00:00:01,110 --> 00:00:02,590
- In this self check exercise

2
00:00:02,590 --> 00:00:06,440
I'd like you to use that
Tweepi api object that we used

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:08,010
in the preceding video

4
00:00:08,010 --> 00:00:11,080
to get a User object from Tweepi

5
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,600
that represents the
NASAKepler Twitter account

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:15,750
or if you'd like,

7
00:00:15,750 --> 00:00:18,490
you can use some other
Twitter account as well

8
00:00:18,490 --> 00:00:21,440
and then we want you to
simply display that accounts'

9
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,870
number of followers and most recent tweet.

10
00:00:24,870 --> 00:00:27,380
So go ahead and pause the
video to give that a shot

11
00:00:27,380 --> 00:00:29,280
then come back here to see the answer.

12
00:00:33,830 --> 00:00:35,940
Okay the first step of
course is going to be

13
00:00:35,940 --> 00:00:37,940
to get the user object

14
00:00:37,940 --> 00:00:40,561
so we're going to use the get
user method of the api object

15
00:00:40,561 --> 00:00:41,870
to do that.

16
00:00:41,870 --> 00:00:45,510
Again we're getting the
account by it's Twitter handle

17
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:47,850
in this case NASAKepler,

18
00:00:47,850 --> 00:00:50,390
and if that executes
successfully we can then

19
00:00:50,390 --> 00:00:53,770
interact with that variable
that we just created

20
00:00:53,770 --> 00:00:55,710
to get the number of followers

21
00:00:55,710 --> 00:00:58,000
via the followers count attribute

22
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,310
and similarly we can get
the most recent tweet

23
00:01:01,310 --> 00:01:06,310
by accessing the status objects
text property or attribute.

24
00:01:06,410 --> 00:01:09,240
So this is the most
recent tweet as of today

25
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,853
from the NASAKepler account.
