Failed to Retrieve HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized - python-3.x

Question

I'm running a python script to connect to the twitter api and count my friends. When I run it I get the 401 error in the title. Any help would be appreciated.
`

import twurl

TWITTER_URL = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/friends/list.json'

cur.execute('''CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS People

print('Error inserting account:', acct)
continue
id = cur.lastrowid
url = twurl.augment(TWITTER_URL, {'screen_name': acct, 'count': '100'})
print('Retrieving account', acct)

conn.commit()
cur.close()`
Also, I am running this in Visual Studio Code in case that matters.
I tried to cd into the proper folder as at first Visual Studio Code was running the code from a different folder and I thought it didn't have the files it needed to import, etc. I was expecting the file to be found so I could run the program correctly, I assume right now I am having troubles with the OAuth.
