AttributeError: module 'emoji' has no attribute 'get_emoji_regexp'

Question

This is the code I’m using in Google Colab

import re 
from textblob import TextBlob 
import emoji

def clean_tweet(text): 
    text = re.sub(r'@[A-Za-z0-9]+', '', str(text)) # remove @mentions
    text = re.sub(r'#', '',  str(text)) # remove the '#' symbol
    text = re.sub(r'RT[s]+', '',  str(text)) # remove RT
    text = re.sub(r'https?//S+', '',  str(text)) # remove the hyperlink
    text = re.sub(r'httpS+', '',  str(text)) # remove the hyperlink
    text = re.sub(r'wwwS+', '',  str(text)) # remove the www
    text = re.sub(r'twitter+', '',  str(text)) # remove the twitter
    text = re.sub(r'pic+', '',  str(text)) # remove the pic
    text = re.sub(r'com', '',  str(text)) # remove the com
    return text

def remove_emoji(text):
    return emoji.get_emoji_regexp().sub(u'', text)

When I make these calls

tweets['cleaned_text']=tweets['text'].apply(clean_tweet)
tweets['cleaned_text']=tweets['cleaned_text'].apply(remove_emoji)

I’m getting the below error

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)

<ipython-input-20-9fe71f3cdb0c> in <module>
      1 tweets['cleaned_text']=tweets['text'].apply(clean_tweet)
----> 2 tweets['cleaned_text']=tweets['cleaned_text'].apply(remove_emoji)

     25 def remove_emoji(text):
---> 26     return emoji.get_emoji_regexp().sub(u'', text)

AttributeError: module 'emoji' has no attribute 'get_emoji_regexp'

This is very strange. I have never seen this issue before. Could someone help me with this? Am I doing something wrong here?

Answer 1

AttributeError: module ’emoji’ has no attribute ‘get_emoji_regexp’ – get_emoji_regexp method was deprecated and subsequently removed in new versions of the package.

For anyone looking for an up-to-date solution,
pip install demoji, then try this function instead:

def remove_emojis(text):
    return demoji.replace(text, '')
