# users-specific_topical_retweeter

This script will fetch tweets from a list of specific twitter accounts and check to see if the tweet contains keywords that are of interest before retweeting.

AS PROPOSED BY THE BRAIN OF Gennie https://github.com/gegebhart

Running this script requires that you have a twitter account, Twitter API keys/access and a list of users to follow. For instructions on this view file Getting_Started.txt

Once the Getting_Started.txt insturctions are followed you will be able to execute the scrypt in terminal.

The arguments are:

python3 get_tweets.py list_of_twitter_accounts.txt

For example:

python3 ~/.GITS/users-specific_topical_retweeter/get_tweets.py ~/.GITS/users-specific_topical_retweeter/representatives_twitter_accounts.txt

Will cause your API associate twitter account to start retweeting.

A list of tweets scanned (and retweeted if positive for your keywords) will be appended to tweet_id_cachelist.txt this list will prevent the script from rescanning and retweeting those tweets the next time you run the script.
