API.destroy_block() The destroy_block() method of the API class in Tweepy module is used to unblock a blocked user as the authenticated user. Syntax : API.destroy_block(id / screen_name / user_id) Parameters : Only use one of the 3 options: id : specifies the ID or the screen name of the user. user_id : specifies the ID of the user, useful to differentiate accounts when a valid user ID is also a valid screen name. screen_name : specifies the screen name of the user, useful to differentiate accounts when a valid screen name is also a user ID. Returns : an object of class User Example 1 : Consider the following user : Python3 1== # import the module import tweepy # assign the values accordingly consumer_key = "" consumer_secret = "" access_token = "" access_token_secret = "" # authorization of consumer key and consumer secret auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret) # set access to user's access key and access secret auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret) # calling the api api = tweepy.API(auth) # the screen name of the user screen_name = "geeksforgeeks" # unblocking the user api.destroy_block(screen_name) Output : Example 2 : Checking if the user has been unblocked or not by the destroy_block() method. Python3 1== # ID of the user id = 4802800777 print("Before using the destroy_block() method : ") if api.show_friendship(target_id = id)[0].blocking == True: print("The user has been blocked by the authenticated user.") else: print("The user has not been blocked by the authenticated user.") # blocking the user api.destroy_block(id) print("\nAfter using the destroy_block() method : ") if api.show_friendship(target_id = id)[0].blocking == True: print("The user has been blocked by the authenticated user.") else: print("The user has not been blocked by the authenticated user.") Output : Before using the destroy_block() method : The user has been blocked by the authenticated user. After using the destroy_block() method : The user has not been blocked by the authenticated user.
