- As for the methods and techniques I plan to conduct, here is our course GitHub open book. You can take it as reference. https://github.com/hupili/python-for-data-and-media-communication-gitbook/blob/master/notes-week-04.md#use-api-via-function-calls-to-other-modules-packages
- I only use it to do data collection practice, will not use case to tweeting, retweeting or liking content.
- Tweets will be displayed on our final project presentation for academic use.
- Finally, I will comply with the Policies of twitter. I am looking forward to your favorable reply.

after that, your application may under review or! jump to a new page :
Since Git remembers the whole history, the key can still be found later. The simplest is to check the file changes, or commit detail page. If that key is on a test account, things should be fine. However, if that key is on a personal account, you may want to regenerate one pair on Twitter.
