How it works

How the data is stored:

the data is stored in the form of redis keys. each key stores the information related to a particular user. the file db_methods.py has various methods to retrive the data and store it. in a particular key, the bot stores the twitter handle and user id of the associated user, along side this it also stores the data of all the saved tweets of that particular user. this data has the name of each category, the discord webhook url for this category(for discord intergration) and a list of tweets saved!

How the data is accessed:

when ever the bot has to retrive the saved tweets of the authorized user via the website, it searches the all the keys for the desired user, and then returns all the data stored for that particular user, this data is then displayed on the website portal. retriving methods are also stored under db_methods.py
