I'm getting this error, I have been working to make it work but i can't. I followed the instructions on setting up the API_KEY value:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "tweets", line 25, in tweets = helpers.get_user_timeline(screen_name, 50) File "/home/ubuntu/workspace/pset6/sentiments/helpers.py", line 46, in get_user_timeline raise RuntimeError("API_KEY not set") RuntimeError: API_KEY not set

Here is my tweets code:

    Have you read the pset instructions carefully? There's a detailed set of instructions for setting your Twitter API Key.

Make sure you're running flask in the same terminal window in which you exported the keys.

  • How would one have figured this out? It seems like an obscure detail, hard to find online.
