Twitter Bot Using Python

This bot automatically posts iconic quotes from Game of Thrones on Twitter at regular intervals.

How It Works

  • The bot is built using Python and the tweepy library to interact with the Twitter API.
  • It selects a random quote from a quotes.json file containing Game of Thrones quotes.
  • The bot is scheduled to run using PythonAnywhere's scheduled tasks.
  • The quotes file is sourced from the Game of Thrones XYZ API (credit to them for the quotes data).

Installation and Setup

  1. Clone the repository: 
    git clone https://github.com/harxhe/twitter-bot-python.git
cd twitter-bot-python
  2. Install dependencies: 
    pip install tweepy
  3. Set up Twitter API keys:
    • Get API keys from the Twitter Developer Portal.
    • Create a .env file and store your keys: 
      CONSUMER_KEY=your_consumer_key
CONSUMER_SECRET=your_consumer_secret
ACCESS_TOKEN=your_access_token
ACCESS_SECRET=your_access_secret
  4. Run the bot manually: 
    python main.py
  5. Deploy on PythonAnywhere:
    • Schedule the script to run at a fixed interval using the built-in task scheduler.
