#reddit Twitter Bot
A Python bot that looks up posts from reddit and automatically posts them on Twitter.
##Disclaimer
I hold no liability for what you do with this script or what happens to you by using this script. Abusing this script *can* get you banned from Twitter, so make sure to read up on proper usage of the Twitter API.
##Dependencies
You will need to install Python's [tweepy](https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy) and [PRAW](https://praw.readthedocs.org/en/) libraries first:
pip install tweepy
pip install praw
You will also need to create an app account on Twitter: [[instructions]](https://dev.twitter.com/apps)
1. Sign in with your Twitter account
2. Create a new app account
3. Modify the settings for that app account to allow read & write
4. Generate a new OAuth token with those permissions
5. Manually edit this script and put those tokens in the script
##Usage
Once you edit the bot script to provide the necessary API keys and the subreddit you want to tweet from, you can run the bot on the command line:
python reddit_twitter_bot.py
Look into the script itself for configuration options of the bot.
