No-boilerplate, async and typed Twitter access.

Project description

sly logo Sly Twitter for Python

🚧 This library is an early work in progress! Breaking changes may be frequent.

🐍 For Python 3.10+

No-boilerplate, async and typed Twitter access. 😋

pip install slytwitter

This library does not have full coverage. Premium version 1.1 is not supported. Currently, the following topics are supported:

  • Posting and managing tweets, with media
  • Reading followers

V2 may or may not work, due to changes in access policy to Twitter's API. If it is, the following topics are supported:

  • Reading followers and following
  • Getting users

You can directly grant user tokens using the command line, covering the whole OAuth 1.0 grant process.


Example usage:

import asyncio
from SlyTwitter import *

async def main():

    auth = OAuth1('test/app.json', 'test/user.json')
    twitter = Twitter(auth)

    tweet = await twitter.tweet('Hello, world!')
    follow = await twitter.check_follow('dunkyl_', 'TechConnectify')

    print(tweet)
    print(follow) # @dunkyl_ follows @TechConnectify
    
asyncio.run(main())

Example CLI usage for getting authorized:

py -m SlyTwitter v1 scaffold
# ...
py -m SlyTwitter v1 grant

Granting credentials requires a Twitter developer account and credentials from their website. Visit Twitter developers to get started.
