Tech

This bot uses the awesome python-twitter library to get and post tweets.

Running the bot

First, generate a credentials file using the generate_credentials.py script. Like so:

./generate_credentials.py --access_token yourtoken \
                          --access_token_secret yourtokensecret \
                          --consumer_key yourconsumerkey  \
                          --consumer_secret yourconsumersecret \
                          --output credentials.dat

Then, run the bot using the credentials file:

./bot.py -c credentials.dat
