Tweet bot

[HojdeN]

Hi!

I’m learning programming in python. I only want to make a twitter account that tweets what’s printed from the result of a function I wrote in python about every hour. I’m trying my best to learn how to use tweepy but it’s all a bit overwhelming and I can’t quite find the info I’m looking for. I made an app on the dev site but when I try to visit the url I specified for it on the app it gives a 404. Does the app just not exist yet? Will it be ready later? What am i missing?

Hello @HojdeN,

Thank you for writing in!

There are a couple of things that you have to do to get set up to use the Twitter APIs.

1. Have you applied for a developer account? You can do so here, and learn more about the Developer Portal here.
2. Once you have been approved for a developer account, you can create a Twitter app, which you will use to make your request to the API.
3. You will then use the Twitter app’s consumer key, secret, access token, and access token secret to make your request via Tweepy.

Please let me know if this helps.
