In depth Twitter Search API in tweepy

I wanted to search for tweets "by keyword" from a "given screen name."
Example, all tweets from "BBCNews" about "weather".

Looking into Tweepy library, I found this code:

tweepy.Cursor(api.search,
              q="weather",
              rpp=100,
              result_type="recent",
              include_entities=True,
              lang="en")

However, how am I gonna filter the tweets such that they are only from BBCNews?

Thank you in advance.

The list of options you can use to filter the tweets you find can be found here : https://dev.twitter.com/rest/public/search

You can put them directly in your query, without caring about Tweepy. In your case, I would suggest

tweepy.Cursor(api.search,
              q="weather from:BBCNews",
              rpp=100,
              result_type="recent",
              include_entities=True,
              lang="en")

You can even add -filter:retweets to your request to get rid of the retweets.
