Twitter Automation using Selenium

In this project, we are going to automate some twitter features using Selenium and Python. We will be automating the process of logging in to twitter and posting a tweet 🐦

Prerequisites

This workshop is ideal for anyone with any level of programming experience.

requires knowledge of Python basics like: variables, packages, functions.

Setup

• Mozilla browser
• Installing Python and pip

What is pip?

• For Windows users:
  • Open cmd ( command prompt ) and type pip -V. If a version shows up in the terminal that means pip is working fine!
• For Linux and Mac users:
  • Open your terminal and type pip3 -V ( you use pip3 instead of pip ).

Installing Selenium

We will first install Selenium via pip ( or pip3 if you are on a Mac or a Linux ).

• Windows users:
  • Open CMD (command prompt) and type pip install selenium & Enter.
• Mac and Linux users:
  • Open your terminal and type pip3 install selenium & Enter.

Installing webdriver-manager

We need to install webdriver-manager via pip ( or pip3 if you are on a Mac or a Linux ) to proceed further.

• Why using webdriver manager?
  • in order to automate our browser we need something known as a driver, a driver is used by Selenium to automate the browser of your choice.

RUN

Okay! now after installing requirements, download automation.py & change email and password so the program can run properly so you can automate your tweeting.

• Execute automation.py
• In every step, the code is well documentated.

Conclusion

• If you have any issues please submit them.
• If you have any ideas to improve the program, please submit a pull request.
