Twitter — Or where my bot talks to your bot
Read about how I built a Twitter bot with Python to run a questionable experiment. Includes all code and detailed explanations.
Summary
In this story, I will explain in detail how I built a Twitter bot that plays on some basic human emotions to generate followers. This happens every day to all of us. I think it is vital to illustrate how easy it is. I will share some funny experiences and show evidence of the bot infestation on Twitter.
The latter part of the article describes in great depth the code and the functionalities of the bot. The current production code is available on Github. I run the bot on AWS and deployed it via the Serverless framework. It is not even using 5% of the monthly AWS free tier. So give it a try.
I wouldn’t be surprised if this article is going to get my Twitter account banned. But hey, Yolo!
