OMG.... OMG... AHHH MAHHH GAWD!!!!!!!

i have been banging my head for 3 weeks trying to create a twitter bot

3 weeks

i finished the project 3 days ago or something. and had to do almost everything by myself because there's not a lot of up-to-date tutorials out there.

I also made things unnecessarily hard for myself, by implementing OAuth 1.0a three legged auth flow

i'm literally in shambles right now. it was so tough to make it and turns out after i finish making the bot this post comes up.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I feel you Ranvir 😅 I had a hard time building one too since Twitter upgraded the developer portal and migrated the API to v2.

So, I decided to write an article in case anyone else was facing the same issue, or just interested in exploring it.

Asaolu Elijah lol yeah. almost all the tutorials are outdated now and you have to consult 2 different pieces of documentation(twitter API docs and twitter-api-v2 package docs) just to make the bot

In the code client.v1.filterStream(...), you're using v1 of the Twitter API, and they have dropped support for filtered stream in essential API access, and is deprecated, RIPing in October this year. Does your tutorial require elevated access as well (the one where you have to go through the long application process).

Great tutorial!

Thank you for your feedback, Mohit :)

After reading your comment, I went to verify the stream/filter endpoint degradation. and it is accurate.

I'll probably write a follow-up article addressing that as well.

Looks like stream api requires elevation access? If so, how would you solve it normally? Like using search api?

One thing I didn't understand is, is the bot that you've created runs one time or listens all the time? Asking because I couldn't see any code like cron job or any timer that runs your bot for every x minutes.

THank you for making the post
