Twitter Plugin for Python SDK for GAME by Virtuals

Twitter Plugin for GAME SDK

The Twitter plugin is a lightweight wrapper over commonly-used twitter API calls. It can be used as a executable on its own or by combining multiple of these into an executable.

Installation

From this directory (twitter), run the installation:

poetry install

Usage

1. Choose one of the 2 options to initialise the Twitter plugin
   • GameTwitterPlugin
     • This allows one to leverage GAME's X enterprise API credentials (i.e. higher rate limits)
   • TwitterPlugin
     • This allows one to use their own X API credentials
2. Initialise plugin objects, run set-up scripts and use plugin functions

   • GameTwitterPlugin

     • To get the access token to us this plugin, run the following command

       poetry run twitter-plugin-gamesdk auth -k <GAME_API_KEY>
       

       You will see the following output:

       Waiting for authentication...
       
       Visit the following URL to authenticate:
       https://x.com/i/oauth2/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=VVdyZ0t4WFFRMjBlMzVaczZyMzU6MTpjaQ&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8714%2Fcallback&state=866c82c0-e3f6-444e-a2de-e58bcc95f08b&code_challenge=K47t-0Mcl8B99ufyqmwJYZFB56fiXiZf7f3euQ4H2_0&code_challenge_method=s256&scope=tweet.read%20tweet.write%20users.read%20offline.access
       

       After authenticating, you will receive the following message:

       Authenticated! Here's your access token:
       apx-<xxx>
       

     • Set the access token as an environment variable called GAME_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN (e.g. using a .bashrc or a .zshrc file):
     • Import and initialize the plugin to use in your worker:

       import os
       from twitter_plugin_gamesdk.game_twitter_plugin import GameTwitterPlugin
       
       # Define your options with the necessary credentials
       options = {
           "id": "test_game_twitter_plugin",
           "name": "Test GAME Twitter Plugin",
           "description": "An example GAME Twitter Plugin for testing.",
           "credentials": {
               "gameTwitterAccessToken": os.environ.get("GAME_TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN")
           },
       }
       # Initialize the TwitterPlugin with your options
       game_twitter_plugin = GameTwitterPlugin(options)
       
       # Post a tweet
       post_tweet_fn = game_twitter_plugin.get_function('post_tweet')
       post_tweet_fn("Hello world!")
       

       You can refer to examples/test_game_twitter.py for more examples on how to call the twitter functions. Note that there is a limited number of functions available. If you require more, please submit a feature requests via Github Issues.
