Lectio bot

This is a twitter bot account (@lectiobot).Follow this account on twitter, then go to any thread in twitter and tweet a comment tagging this bot. In a few moments, the bot will send you a dm with the contents from the thread. The bot is written completely with Python. We created a seperate account to act as the bot and hosted it in replit as it is possible to continuously run the program with the hacker plan in replit.

Libraries used

Python - 3.8.5 tweepy - 3.10.0 dotenv - 0.17.1

How to configure

Setup and Installation

Make sure you have the latest python installed

git clone <repo url>

Inside the project directory, install the modules used

pip install tweepy

pip install python-dotenv

Now before proceeding further you will have to make a new app at [https://developer.twitter.com/apps] If you do not have a twitter dev account, apply for the same and then make a new app

1. Sign in with your Twitter account
2. Create a new app account
3. Modify the settings for that app account to allow read & write
4. Generate new consumer key and access token with those permissions

Following these steps will create 4 tokens that you will need to place in the .env_sample file. Then rename the file as .env

How to Run

Now in the terminal run

python main.py

Now the bot is active
