Artbot-Twitter

First Version of a Twitter Bot (@UneNuitEtoilee) using Twitter API and Tweepy.

The main idea was to build an easy going script able to post from a folder containing paintings, image as tweets. The script could be deployd on a web service in order to be fully automated ! (This bot is now hosted on a free EC2 AWS server since 17th of November 2021) Bots make twitter a cooler place and permit also to see my favorite pieces of art each day on the app ! :) Reminder: This is a 1.0.0, the code is very simple but efficient.

Some tasks for the future :

Host all images metadata on a database and the files on S3.
