Usage

Use generated keys and tokens for Tweepy authentication in /twitterbot/bot/settings.py.

You can add users for twitter automation in TWITTER_ACCOUNT_SETTINGS in the same file.

You can specify an automation strategy individually for each user.

Example

    'testuser': {
        'unfollow': ['utils.twitterbot.make_unfollow_for_current_account'],
        'follow': ['utils.twitterbot.make_follow_for_current_account',
                   'utils.twitterbot.follow_all_own_followers'],
        'followers_limit': 50,
        'retweet': True
    },

• 'unfollow': [...] - a list of functions for unfollowing
• 'follow': [...] - a list of functions for following
• 'followers_limit': 10 - a number for limit followers and unfollowers for current account
• 'retweet': True - bool value, if True - make retweets for current account

Note

If you want to follow all the users who follows you - use the function follow_all_own_followers() in twitterbot/utils/twitterbot.py.

Run bot using Docker

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-dev.yml up -d --build

Optional features

Twitter bot uses celery tasks for making the operations:

• follow users
• unfollow users
• retweet by a tag

However, you can also do this stuff with django-admin commands in /twitterbot/management/commands.
