# @ConstAssembly Twitter Bot

A [twitter bot](https://twitter.com/ConstAssembly) that tweets a sentence from the Indian Constituent Assembly Debates every 10 minutes.

## Development Docs

The bot resides in `bot.py` and uses the Tweepy library to tweet text. The

bot depends on the following files:

1. `data.txt` - This file contains the raw text, which is used by the bot.

2. `last_line.txt` - This file is the memory of the bot. This is used so that the bot can dump its state to disk between each run. The bot currently runs as a cron job. Eg.

```

12

0

```

Where line 0 represents the row and line 1 represents the column in the data.txt file.

3. `.env` - This file contains the secrets required by the bot, such as Twitter API keys.
