Schedules tweets using TweetDeck

Project description

Automated tweet scheduling using TweetDeck. Uses Selenium to spawn a browser, log in to TweetDeck with your credentials, and schedule a tweet on your behalf by clicking on things in the app.

Installation

Install geckodriver. On macOS with Homebrew you can use brew install geckodriver. Then…

..code:: shell

$ pip install schedule_tweet

Only Python 3.6 and higher is supported.

Usage

..code:: python

>>> import os
>>> from datetime import datetime, timedelta
>>>
>>> import schedule_tweet
>>>
>>> username = 'schedule_tw'
>>> password = os.getenv('PASSWORD')
>>> now_dt = datetime.now()
>>>
>>> with schedule_tweet.session(username, password) as session:
...     dt = now_dt + timedelta(minutes=2)
...     session.tweet(dt, f'First Tweet 🚀 {dt.isoformat()}')
...
...     dt = now_dt + timedelta(minutes=3)
...     session.tweet(dt, f'Second Tweet 💥 {dt.isoformat()}')

Tests

Obviously, TweetDeck authors can change anything anytime, which may or may not break this tool. That’s why it is tested by a regular nightly Travis CI build. If it’s able to schedule a tweet in the sample @schedule_tw <https://twitter.com/schedule_tw>_ account, it assumes the tool still works and the build will pass. If the build badge is red, it means the tool doesn’t work anymore and it needs to be updated.

Why

Twitter doesn’t provide scheduling tweets in their API. It is provided only as a feature of TweetDeck, their advanced official client. Unlike other clients which support scheduling tweets, TweetDeck is free of charge, it is an official tool made by Twitter themselves, and it supports teams.

The schedule-tweet tool was originally built to save precious volunteering time of the PyCon CZ 2017 social media team.
