twitterpi

Asynchronous, multi-user Twitter Giveaway Bot.

Description

Python application for interacting with TwitterAPI to operate multiple giveaway bots at once. Account credentials and settings are read from a credential.toml and settings.toml files respectively. Tweets matching search criteria are saved to and read from disk. Requests use custom async OAuth 1.0 session and custom rate limiter.

Pre-requisites

You'll need access to the Twitter API, and an environment running Python >3.6.

Edit the /path/to/site-packages/twitterpi/conf/credentials.toml.sample with your API consumer / API keys, e.g:

[YourAccountName]
consumer_key = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
consumer_secret = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
access_token = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
access_token_secret = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

You can add multiple accounts to this credentials file. When populated, remove .sample suffix.

Make sure you set the birthdate of your account or your follow requests will fail on certain age-restricted users (e.g. alcohol brands).
