Copycat Twitter Bot

A twitter bot written in Python and using the tweepy API that- based on another account's tweets- generates its own random posts at random times and replies to every mention towards it.

Preparations & Prerequisites

  • Owning a Twitter account (duh).
  • Applying for a Twitter Developer Account (it takes some form filling and half a day, give or take).
  • Creating an App through the Twitter Developer Account with tweeting/replying permissions on
  • Generating the 4 useful keys (API key, API secret key, Access Key, Access Secret Key) to be used in the python script for authentication.
  • Having Python 3.5.2 or higher on your system (as far as I tested it out).
  • Installing tweepy as its docs show here.
