This is an implementation to join the Twitter and the Telegram APIs using Python 3.9
The bot sends to Telegram tweets in realtime from the users registered on the database.
After cloning the repository, create a Python virtual environment, to don't mix with other libraries versions
python -m venv venv
Now activate the virtual environment:
source venv/bin/activate
And install the required packages:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Go to the settings folder and fill a .env file with your Twitter Standard v1.1 and Telegram Bot keys following the .env_example file. On the first start of the bot, he will send your chat id on the message, to put on the .env file.
The database will be created by running the bot and adding the first username.
To start the bot:
python bot.py
To start receiving tweets, send /startstream to the bot.
