This repo uses the uv package manager to manage dependencies. If you don't already have uv installed, you can install it with the following curl command:
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | shTo verify install, use:
uv --versionConsult the uv installation docs for more detailed instructions and troubleshooting.
Once uv is installed on your system, clone this repo with:
git clone https://github.com/Promptly-Technologies-LLC/X_botThen:
- Navigate to the cloned directory with
cd X_bot. - Install dependencies with
uv sync. - Copy the
example.envfile to.envwithcp example.env .env. - Edit the
.envfile and add your API key, API secret, client token, client secret, access token, and access secret (for instructions on how to get these, see below).
Before you can run the app, you need to configure your Twitter API credentials. To do this, you need to sign up for a Twitter/X developer account. Upon creating your account, you will receive an API key and an API secret. Save these in your .env file.
Next, create a new project and application from the developer dashboard. Then, from the application settings, do your user authentication setup. Give your application "Read and Write" permissions, classify it as a "Web App", and set the Callback URI to "http://127.0.0.1:5000/oauth/callback". Enter any URL you like for the required "Website" field; this won't affect our application. Upon saving these settings, you will be provided a client token and secret, which you should save to your .env file.
You will also need to generate an access token and secret from your application's "Keys and Tokens" section in the developer dashboard. Save these to your .env file.
