## Motivation

I wanted to have a bot that would tweet different quotes from Wikiquote each morning to start the day on a good note. 

This small scripts uses Tweepy's [API](https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy) and fredericotdn's 

[Wikiquote API](https://github.com/federicotdn/python-wikiquotes) to scan quotes on Wikiquote and tweet them .

## Installation

The following steps explain how to configure the script before running it:

 1. Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/IamPhytan/wikiquote-twitter-bot.git`

 2. Download the requirements (or create a `virtualenv` before) : `pip3 install -r requirements.txt`

 3. Follow [this tutorial](https://www.pythoncentral.io/introduction-to-tweepy-twitter-for-python/) to get your :

    * Consumer key

    * Consumer secret

    * Access token

    * Access token secret

 4. Add these values to the [configuration file]

 5. Insert in the same [configuration file] the time you want to send quotes and the names of the people who inspire you.

 6. Run the script: `python3 main.py`
