Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be making a twitter bot that tweets to timeline and follow other users and also retweets to the timeline using tweepy library. All the full source code of the application is given below.
Get Started
In order to get started we need to install the following libraries inside your python project by using the pip command
pip install tweepy
pip install tkinter
After installing all the libraries just make an app.py file and copy paste the following code
