Making Twitter Cats and Dogs BOT in Python | Listening to some music and programming

Hello and welcome,
in this tutorial i will take things slowly. I will not edit out errors from the video instead i will just fix them to show you what are some common errors and give you a better understanding of how this code works. If you have any questions make sure you leave them down below in the comments.

You can visit my website for text version or my Youtube channel for more videos:
hoxframework.com.hr / youtube.com/hoxframework

Also keep in mind that free APIs aren’t great so i recommend downloading a bunch of pictures at once and never download them again, it will be a lot easier for you. To automate this process is easy you just have to import time or any sort of counter that you want, else you can just add your python program to windows event scheduler to run every hour. To make this bot operate even better i recommend:
-Downloading a bunch of pictures and facts at once so you dont have to redownload every time you post
-make a cleaner.py to clean up pictures you posted or store them in a folder where you can compare the posted pics with newly downloaded (Im guessing its possible without machinelearning it has to be…)
-Make the thing automatic
-make an interface for it?
-and whatever else you like 😀

Thank you so much ! Have a nice day.
