Installation

Install this tool using pip:

pip install tweet-images

Usage

You'll need a consumer key, consumer secret, access token key and access token secret for a Twitter account that you wish to tweet from.

You can pass those as the --consumer-key, --consumer-secret, --access-token-key, --access-token-secret options to the command, or you can set them as environment variables like this:

export TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY="..."
export TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET="..."
export TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_KEY="..."
export TWITER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=".."

You can then send a tweet like this:

tweet-images "This is my tweet"

Or attach between one and four images to that tweet by passing their file paths:

tweet-images "Three pictures attached" one.jpg two.jpg three.jpg

You can pass --alt "alt text" one or more times to attach alt text to your images:

tweet-images "Three pictures attached" one.jpg two.jpg \
  --alt "Alt text for one" --alt "Alt text for two"
