Summary

This article guides beginner Python developers in creating a Twitter bot using Python, Tweepy, and PythonAnywhere. The Twitter bot tweets random quotes from a Random Quotes API service. The development environment is set up with virtualenv, Requests library, Tweepy, json, and time modules. The bot's code is divided into two functions: one to get quotes from the API endpoint and another to post quotes on Twitter using Tweepy. The bot is tested by running the script from the command line and deployed to PythonAnywhere for cloud deployment.
