How to post a tweet using tweepy?

How can I post a tweet using API.update_status()? It needs POST permission but I did not find this app permission option on the Twitter Developer App page.

You need to apply for the "Elevated" Twitter Developer program. It's free, you just need to submit a form and maybe a couple of emails due to Twitter's auto response, but then you should be good to go. I'd recommend then follow this steps:

First, install tweepy library (pip install tweepy).

Next, create a .py file containing this:

import tweepy
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler("CONSUMER KEY HERE", "CONSUMER KEY SECRET HERE")
auth.set_access_token("ACCESS TOKEN HERE", "ACCESS TOKEN SECRET HERE")
api = tweepy.API(auth)
tweet = input(" ")
api.update_status(status =(tweet))
print ("Done!")

Your tweet should be live then.

The OAuth 1.0a App permissions setting is under the User authentication settings section of the Settings tab of your developer portal's App page.
