Description

In this course I will be teaching you how to create a Twitter Bot using Python 3, RandomWords, Tweepy, PyDictionary, Random, and much much more!  The first four sections will teach you how to use each of the libraries separately, with the last combining everything to top off this sundae!  We will be programmatically posting these tweets instead of controlling the mouse and other methods of creating bots!  Therefore, the python file can be running while you are playing a video game!  I hope that you enjoy watching this course as much as I had making it!

  • Beginner-Expert Python Programmers
