Repository for a simple Twitter bot using Selenium.

Python Twitter Bot using Selenium

This is a simple twitter bot made using Selenium that at the moment just creates and sends out tweets.

What You'll Need

• Selenium module installed using the following:

  pip install selenium
  

• dotenv-python module installed (implemented just to handle the private nature of usernames and passwords)

  pip install python-dotenv
  

• Browser driver for your browser of choice. In my case, I used Google Chrome in which the driver can be found at the following: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads (Ensure that the driver version matches your browser version) *Note that in my case, I also relocated the driver to be in my Program Files (x86) directory. If you have it in another location, change the PATH in the code as seen below:

  PATH = "INSERT_DRIVER_PATH_HERE"
  

• Create a .env file and add your credentials as follows:

  TWITTER_USERNAME=Insert_Username_Here
  TWITTER_PASSWORD=Insert_Password_Here
