A Twitter bot that posts a tweet everyday at the same time(8AM EAT)

Meet me on Twitter

Requirements

• Twitter Developer account
• tweepy
• requests
• schedule

pip install -r requirements.txt

How it works

Step 1: Import the necessary libraries

import tweepy
import time
import datetime
import keys
import schedule

Step 2: Initialize Tweepy with Twitter API

client = tweepy.Client(keys.bearer_token, keys.api_key, keys.api_secret, keys.access_token, keys.access_token_secret)
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(keys.api_key, keys.api_secret, keys.access_token, keys.access_token_secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)

Step 3: Create a method to send the tweet

# Get the current date and time
current_date = datetime.date.today()

# Format the date as a string
formatted_date = current_date.strftime("%B, %d, %Y")


def sendPost():
    # Send the tweet
    client.create_tweet(text=f"Hello Python 🐍. It is {formatted_date} today!🚀🚀.\nI am a bot 🤖. Meet me on Github https://github.com/Gerry-Aballa/twitter-Api-V2-bot")

    # Print a message to indicate that the request was successful
    print("Tweet posted successfully")

# Schedule the method to be exectued everday at a set time
schedule.ever().day.at("8.00").do(sendPost)

Step 4: Define the main loop

while True:
    # Checks if scheduler has pending tasks
    schedule.run_pending()

    # Scheduler sleeps for 1 day
    time.sleep(1)

Step 5: Create a keys.py file and add your Twitter API keys

bearer_token = "YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN"
api_key = "YOUR_API_KEY"
api_secret = "YOUR_API_SECRET"
access_token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN"
access_token_secret = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET"

Step 6: Run the bot

python3 twitter.py
