How to install Tweepy

First, check your Python version with python3 --version or python --version on console (terminal/shell/command prompt).

If you have Python 3.9, you can just run:

pip3 install tweepy

If the above command doesn't work, try replacing pip3 with pip also.

Files

• twitter_bot.py - This is the main file that includes all the logic.
• last_seen_id.txt - This will contain the ID of the tweet that my_twitter_bot.py has seen last. If you see any errors when running the main file, try replacing the content with the ID of one of the tweets you want to examine.
• keys.py - This file is not meant to be used directly. Instead, copy this file in the same folder and rename it to keys.py. Then, put your Twitter API keys in keys.py. That way, my_twitter_bot.py will be able to use this information.
