I just began working on a little twitter-app using tweepy.
is there any kind of useful (and complete) documentation for tweepy?
I googled like hell but didn't find anything.
Deprecated since version 4.10: The Twitter API v1. 1 endpoint this method uses is now deprecated and will be retired on October 29, 2022.
Tweepy provides the API interface for the Twitter API v1. 1. For the v2 API, Tweepy provides the Client interface. This is available from Tweepy v4.
To get more then 200, you need to use the cursor on user_timeline and then iterate over the pages. Save this answer.
Similarly, the simplest way to authenticate as your developer account is to generate an access token and access token secret through your app's Keys and Tokens tab under the Twitter Developer Portal Projects & Apps page. You'll also need the app's API / consumer key and secret that can be found on that page.
Check the official docs here:

Prior to work on the 2.0 branch of Tweepy, the documentation was supposed to be updated at http://tweepy.readthedocs.org/ however that did not happen as expected.
Presently, there is a closed issue on the Github repository for Tweepy clarifying the status of the project's documentation: as work on 2.0 progresses, documentation will be prepared for posting on the Tweepy Web site with the launch of the new version.
As the other answers mention, the version 1.4 documentation at http://packages.python.org/tweepy/html/ seems to be the most complete documentation available presently for Tweepy, despite the version at time of posting being 1.9.
If the above is insufficient, you may wish to investigate the Github repo for the old documentation that was removed at this commit. I cannot comment on the state nor quality of those doc files.
