Tweet Using Python

Dear Reader,

Use the below python script to post tweet from your machine.

import tweepy
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(customer-key, customer-secret)
auth.set_access_token(access-token, access-token-secret)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
user = api.get_user('twitterhandle')
print user.screen_name
print user.followers_count
tweet = "Your tweet content"
status = api.update_status(status=tweet)

*customer-key, customer-secret, access-token and access-token-secret should be generated from the Twitter developer.

Join the twitter developer account using the url: https://dev.twitter.com/

Create your own twitter application and generate the key and token.

Pass the key value and token value in the above code and execute.

Your tweet will be posted to your twitter handle.

Cheers!!

Praveen
