"I am" : Twitter bot

GitHub Language Twitter Library Size

Introduction

This Twitter bot is designed to periodically tweet phrases that begin with "I am" followed by a word from a predefined dictionary. The bot is implemented in Python and uses the Tweepy library for interacting with the Twitter API. It leverages Python's asyncio library for efficient IO-bound operations and incorporates best practices like logging, error handling, and thread safety.

Features

  • Asynchronous Operations: Uses asyncio for non-blocking operations.
  • Thread-Safe Counter: Utilizes threading.Lock for a thread-safe counter.
  • Robust Error Handling: Gracefully handles errors and logs them for debugging.
  • Extensible: Easy to extend for more complex functionalities.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.7 or higher
  • Tweepy library
  • Twitter Developer Account and API credentials
