[PYTHON] Try tweeting automatically using Selenium.

I wanted to make a twitter bot, so I did a lot of research. Since it is troublesome to get the twitter API, we aim to automatically tweet by selenium.

Method

Just write and execute a script like the one below. Please rewrite your account and password as appropriate.

import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

#account information
account = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'
password = 'xxxxxxxxxxx'

#The string you want to tweet
text = "Test tweet"

#Twitter login process to execute
def login_twitter():
    #Open login page
    driver.get('https://twitter.com/login/')
    time.sleep(2)  #Wait
    #account input
    element_account = driver.find_element_by_name("session[username_or_email]")
    element_account.send_keys(account)
    time.sleep(2)  #Wait
    #Enter password
    element_pass = driver.find_element_by_name("session[password]")
    element_pass.send_keys(password)
    time.sleep(3)  #Stop working
    #Click login button
    element_login = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@data-testid="LoginForm_Login_Button"]')
    driver.execute_script("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight);")
    element_login.click()
    time.sleep(3) #Wait

def send_tweet(text):
    element_text = driver.find_element_by_class_name("notranslate")
    element_text.click()
    element_text.send_keys(text)
    tweet_button = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@data-testid="tweetButtonInline"]')
    tweet_button.click()

#Start selenium
options=Options()
driver=webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options = options)

#Login process
login_twitter()
#Tweet
send_tweet(text)
time.sleep(10)
#Exit selenium
driver.close()
driver.quit()
