virtuals-tweepy 0.1.3

A fork of Tweepy adapted to work with Virtuals's enterprise Twitter endpoint

Virtual Tweepy: Twitter for Python!

Installation

The easiest way to install the latest version from PyPI is by using pip:

pip install virtuals-tweepy

Using GAME's X enterprise API credentials (higher rate limits)

• To get the access token for this option, run the following command:

  poetry run virtuals-tweepy 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>
  

Using your own X API credentials

• If you don't already have one, create a X (twitter) account and navigate to the developer portal.
• Create a project app, generate the following credentials and set them as environment variables (e.g. using a .bashrc or a .zshrc file):
  • TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN
  • TWITTER_API_KEY
  • TWITTER_API_SECRET_KEY
  • TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN
  • TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET

Latest version of Python and older versions not end of life (bugfix and security) are supported.
