# TwitterBot

A simple program that replies to tweets. Response is generated using the CleverBot API.

# Usage

TwitterBot requires one positional argument to run, your twitter handle. Make sure to include the '@'

symbol.

Example: `python3 twitter_bot.py @yourhandle` or `./twitter_bot.py @yourhandle`

### Program Arguments

    usage: Twitter Bot [-h] [-r] [-q] [-l {0,1,2}] twitter_handle

    

    positional arguments:

      twitter_handle        your twitter @handle

    

    optional arguments:

      -h, --help                    show this help message and exit

      -r, --reply_to_thread         toggles reply to thread where mentioned

      -q, --quiet                   disables console output of non-errors

      -l {0,1,2}, --log {0,1,2}     change logging level

    Logging Levels

    - 0 : logging is disabled (default)

    - 1 : errors and critical failures are logged

    - 2 : in addition, tweets (incoming and outgoing) are logged

***Note**: if the account tweeting you is private, TwitterBot will not reply.*
