python - Use API to write to json file

Question

I am facing this problem while I try to loop tweet_id using the API and write it to tweet_json.txt, the output for all data is Failed which I know is wrong

Before it was working good but when I try to Run all the code again it starts to show failed

for tweet_id in df['tweet_id']:
    try:
        tweet = api.get_status(tweet_id, tweet_mode = 'extended')
        with open('tweet_json.txt', 'a+') as file:
            json.dump(tweet._json, file)
            file.write('\n')
        print (tweet_id, 'success')
    except:
        print (tweet_id, 'Failed')

Your except is swallowing whatever exception is causing your code to die. Until you comment out the except or make it more specific you won't know if your problem is the Twitter API or file I/O or something else. Good luck!
