TweepError: Twitter error response: status code = 400 while cursor user id search using tweepy cursor

Question

Python Script to Extract tweets of a particular username using Tweepy and Pandas

Can any body help me out here with the error with cursor user id search using tweepy cursor

underlined error is the line list_tweets = [tweet for tweet in tweets]

Keyword search works fine with this code changing id to q I'm not sure what is the error here

# import modules

    print(f"Tweet {n}:")

Answer 1

 tweets = tweepy.Cursor(api.user_timeline, id=words, lang="en",
                        since=date_since, tweet_mode='extended').items(numtweet)

use api.user_timeline instead of api.search
