Tech Stack

1. Python3.7, pipenv
2. Django 2.1
3. Tweepy

How to setup the code ?

1. Assuming you have pipenv installed, (if not, run command -- $pip install pipenv)
2. cd inside the project directory
3. Run command -- $pipenv install
4. Now run the server by running command -- $python3 manage.py runserver
5. If you login to your local server now, you should be able to see a message saying BOT ACTIVE.

PLEASE NOTE: I have not committed the twitter_keys.py file to master due to security reasons. This file goes in the /twitter/ directory as twitter_keys.py and has the following attributes that I extracted from my twitter account.
'CONSUMER_KEY = <>
CONSUMER_SECRET = <>
ACCESS_KEY = <>
ACCESS_SECRET = <>'\

If you need to replicate the environment with my keys, feel free to drop a pull request and I will be happy to connect with you over the same.

How the bot works ?

1. Log in to your twitter account
2. Write a tweet to @karmanishth, make sure you have the keyword #BUZZ (any case) in your tweet.
3. Within 30 seconds of you tweeting, the bot talks back to you in tweet

Sometimes...

I am not keeping the bot server active 24x7. Although I do strive to keep it always active but sometimes its just sleeping so sorry for that. It will tweet back whenever it comes back up though
