Building a Social Media Scrapper

I am trying to build a application that compares the social media activities of different twitter accounts due to their content. I tried to get some data from scratch and used the following github code (https://github.com/ScriptSmith/socialreaper)

The code is runnig and the test csv is gettin created, but it's empty.

I got the API Keys from Twitter - what else is there to consider? Could there be an error with the API from Twitter?

import socialreaper 

from socialreaper import Twitter
from socialreaper.tools import to_csv

twt = Twitter(api_key='xxx', 
              api_secret='xxx', 
              access_token='xxx', 
              access_token_secret='xxx')

tweets = twt.user("realDonaldTrump", count=500, exclude_replies=True, 
    include_retweets=False)

to_csv(list(tweets), filename='trump.csv')  
´´´
