I'm still really new to coding and currently taking courses online, in which we are beginning to work with the Twitter API. I am trying to capture the ID of a Twitter account and display it below, but I keep getting this TypeError
and can't figure out for the life of me how to fix it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks. My Code

Follow the official documentation on tweepy. Please display code instead of images.
You can use:
api = tweepy.API(auth)
user = api.get_user(screen_name='dak')
print(user.id)

Tweepy v4.0.0 changed API.get_user
to not accept any positional arguments.
The 1 positional argument being referred to in the error is self
.
You can pass 'dak'
as the screen_name
keyword argument instead.
