Hello, today we are going to learn how we can automatically post a Tweet or create a Twitter bot using Python.

The first thing we are going to do is register our application on the Twitter Developer portal:

  1. Create an application on Twitter:
    • Go to Twitter Developer and create an application. This will provide you with the necessary credentials to access the Twitter API.

Hello, today we are going to learn how we can automatically post a Tweet or create a Twitter bot using Python.

The first thing we are going to do is register our application on the Twitter Developer portal:

  1. Create an application on Twitter:
    • Go to Twitter Developer and create an application. This will provide you with the necessary credentials to access the Twitter API.

Access and create a project:

Once the project is created, create an app:

Click on “Overview”:

And create an app:

Add the name of the APP

And copy our keys correctly:

And we copy our keys correctly:

We also click on “Generate Access Token”:

So that we can access the APP externally, we have to configure the permissions. For this, we go to User Authentication Settings:

Click on “Set up” and configure the permissions, in this case, read and write:

We can also choose the type of APP:

And we can add the URLs it requests in case we need to configure a Webhook:

Install this library with Python:

pip install requests_oauthlib

We also need to install this one to read the .env:

pip install python-dotenv

Now, let’s go to a text editor and create this file:

import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import json
import oauthlib.oauth1
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1Session

# Load environment variables from a .env file
load_dotenv()

CONSUMER_KEY = os.getenv("TWITTER_API_KEY")
CONSUMER_SECRET = os.getenv("TWITTER_API_SECRET_KEY")
ACCESS_TOKEN = os.getenv("TWITTER_ACESS_TOKEN")
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = os.getenv("TWITTER_ACESS_TOKEN_SECRET")
TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN = os.getenv("TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN")
TWITTER_CLIENT_ID = os.getenv("TWITTER_CLIENT_ID")
TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET = os.getenv("TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET")

# Create an OAuth1Session instance with your keys and tokens
twitter_auth = OAuth1Session(CONSUMER_KEY, client_secret=CONSUMER_SECRET,
                             resource_owner_key=ACCESS_TOKEN,
                             resource_owner_secret=ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)

url = "https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets"

payload = json.dumps({
    "text": "HelloCertainly, here's the continuation of the translation in HTML format:
html
Copy code

And we can add the URLs it requests in case we need to configure a Webhook:










Install this library with Python:



pip install requests_oauthlib


We also need to install this one to read the .env:


pip install python-dotenv


Now, let's go to a text editor and create this file:


import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import json
import oauthlib.oauth1
from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1Session

# Load environment variables from a .env file
load_dotenv()

CONSUMER_KEY = os.getenv("TWITTER_API_KEY")
CONSUMER_SECRET = os.getenv("TWITTER_API_SECRET_KEY")
ACCESS_TOKEN = os.getenv("TWITTER_ACESS_TOKEN")
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = os.getenv("TWITTER_ACESS_TOKEN_SECRET")
TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN = os.getenv("TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN")
TWITTER_CLIENT_ID = os.getenv("TWITTER_CLIENT_ID")
TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET = os.getenv("TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET")

# Create an OAuth1Session instance with your keys and tokens
twitter_auth = OAuth1Session(CONSUMER_KEY, client_secret=CONSUMER_SECRET,
                             resource_owner_key=ACCESS_TOKEN,
                             resource_owner_secret=ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)

url = "https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets"

payload = json.dumps({
    "text": "Hello World!"
})

# Make the request to Twitter using the OAuth1Session instance
response = twitter_auth.post(url, data=payload, headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'})

# Print the response
print(response.text)


And add this code. We need to create a .env file with the variables that contain the codes of the created app:


TWITTER_API_KEY = fasdfads
TWITTER_API_SECRET_KEY = 
TWITTER_ACESS_TOKEN =
TWITTER_ACESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 
TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN = 
TWITTER_CLIENT_ID = 
TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET =




Please note that I have translated the content, but some variable names and placeholders remain unchanged as they appear in the original text.I apologize, but it seems that the content you provided is quite long, and it's hitting the response length limit. To ensure I can provide a complete translation, I'll need to break it into smaller parts. Here's the continuation of the translation in HTML format:

html

Copy code


Now let's add this code, and we need to create a .env file with the variables containing the codes of the created app:


TWITTER_API_KEY = fasdfads
TWITTER_API_SECRET_KEY = 
TWITTER_ACESS_TOKEN =
TWITTER_ACESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 
TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN = 
TWITTER_CLIENT_ID = 
TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET =




Please let me know if you need further translation or assistance with anything else.html

Para que podamos acceder a la APP de forma externa, tenemos que configurar los permisos, para ello vamos a User authentication settings:








Pulsamos en Set up y configuramos los permisos, en este caso leer y escribir:








También podemos elegir el tipo de APP:

Y podemos añadir las URLS que solicita por si necesitamos configurar un Webhook:








Instalamos esta librería con Python:


pip install requests_oauthlib

Copy code


También tenemos que instalar esta, para leer el .env:


pip install python-dotenv


Ahora vamos a un editor de texto y creamos este archivo:


import os
from dotenv import load_dotenv
import json

from requests_oauthlib import OAuth1Session

# Load environment variables from a .env file
load_dotenv()

CONSUMER_KEY = os.getenv("TWITTER_API_KEY")
CONSUMER_SECRET = os.getenv("TWITTER_API_SECRET_KEY")
ACCESS_TOKEN = os.getenv("TWITTER_ACESS_TOKEN")
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = os.getenv("TWITTER_ACESS_TOKEN_SECRET")
TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN = os.getenv("TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN")
TWITTER_CLIENT_ID = os.getenv("TWITTER_CLIENT_ID")
TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET = os.getenv("TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET")

# Create an instance of OAuth1Session with your keys and tokens
twitter_auth = OAuth1Session(CONSUMER_KEY, client_secret=CONSUMER_SECRET,
                             resource_owner_key=ACCESS_TOKEN,
                             resource_owner_secret=ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)

url = "https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets"

payload = json.dumps({
    "text": "Hello World!"
})

# Make the request to Twitter using the OAuth1Session instance
response = twitter_auth.post(url, data=payload, headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'})

# Print the response
print(response.text)



And add this code, and we have to create a .env file with the variables containing the codes of the created app:


TWITTER_API_KEY = fasdfads
TWITTER_API_SECRET_KEY = 
TWITTER_ACESS_TOKEN =
TWITTER_ACESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 
TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN = 
TWITTER_CLIENT_ID = 
TWITTER_CLIENT_SECRET =
