How to update twitter status with image using image url in tweepy?

You need use a local file to upload via tweepy. I would suggest using a library like requests to download the file first.

import requestsimport osdef twitter_api():    access_token = config.get('twitter_credentials', 'access_token')    access_token_secret = config.get('twitter_credentials', 'access_token_secret')    consumer_key = config.get('twitter_credentials', 'consumer_key')    consumer_secret = config.get('twitter_credentials', 'consumer_secret')    auth = OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)    auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)    api = API(auth)    return apidef tweet_image(url, message):    api = twitter_api()    filename = 'temp.jpg'    request = requests.get(url, stream=True)    if request.status_code == 200:        with open(filename, 'wb') as image:            for chunk in request:                image.write(chunk)        api.update_with_media(filename, status=message)        os.remove(filename)    else:        print("Unable to download image")url = "http://animalia-life.com/data_images/bird/bird1.jpg"message = "Nice one"tweet_image(url, message)

Twython Release 3.4.0

photo = open('/path/to/file/image.jpg', 'rb')response = twitter.upload_media(media=photo)twitter.update_status(status='Checkout this cool image!', media_ids=[response['media_id']])

Why not just include the link in a status update?

img = "http://animalia-life.com/data_images/bird/bird1.jpg"api.status(status="%s Nice one" % img)
