Automated reply to tweets
This is a automated script for twitter to reply to your tweets. The script is made using Selenium. I choose Selenium over
Tweepy because using Tweepy would restrict me to using only one account. But in this script I have asked the user for the
Twitter account details.
The example of script running is shown in the below video,
In this example video I did not ask the user for Twitter account details because I am using a temporary account for this purpose.
If you want to add your account just uncomment the lines 39 and 40.
To run the script just follow the below steps,
-
Clone the project and then navigate to the project folder.
-
Run the command in the project folder
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
-
Download geckodriver for Firefox for your OS from the link https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases
-
After downloading geckodriver, navigate to the folder where the geckodriver is downloaded and run the commands,
tar -xvzf <full-name-of-the-downloaded-file>
chmod +x geckodriver.
sudo mv geckodriver /usr/local/bin/
Now you are good to go.
Now write the reply to the tweet in the tweet_reply.txt file and run the script using the command
python3 twitter_bot.py
Happy Coding :)
