A Python script for generating the followers and followings of an inputted user. Returns the data as a CSV.
The following are required to run this script:
- Python 3 or later
- Pandas (1.4.2)
- PyYAML (6.0)
- Requests (2.26.0)
This is what you'll need to do if you don't have them:
pip3 install pandas pyyaml requests
You have the option of saving the files as a CSV and/or as a regular text file. This is also where you will provide your bearer token.
You will need a Twitter API Bearer token to send to the config.yaml file. Go to the Twitter Developer's site and sign up using your existing Twitter account. After verifying your account and following the steps you'll find your API key, API secret, and Bearer token.
Inside config.yaml, copy and paste your bearer token. You'll then be able to run the script.
