I was just trying to create a bot that uploads a tweet after a time interval (not necessarily regular). However, after a certain amount of tweets my app gets limited and restricted by twitter. Is there a work around for this? The max number of tweets I've been able to send has been 30. I even tried using sleep() with random time limits but it still doesn't work.
import tweepy
import random
import time
consumerKey=''
consumerSecret=''
accessToken=''
accessTokenSec=''
def OAuth():
try:
auth=tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumerKey,consumerSecret)
auth.set_access_token(accessToken,accessTokenSec)
return auth
except Exception as e:
return None
oauth=OAuth()
api=tweepy.API(oauth,wait_on_rate_limit=True)
tweets=['i love roses','7 is my favourite number', 'Studies are hard','Guess how many donuts I just ate','A cat ran over my foot']
for i in range(40):
num2=random.randint(0,4)
randtime=random.randint(60,120)
api.update_with_media(imglink,+tweets[num2])
print("status uploaded")
time.sleep(randtime)
Same problem, unfortunately Twitter API have restrictions for normal users. You need to are a company or something else. Twitter need to know how you use the data. There is no way sorry...
