🤖 Twitter Bot Header

How to setup for your Twitter

Add a '.env' file and insert these lines:

API_KEY='' # API key
API_SECRET='' # API key secret
ACCESS_TOKEN='' # Access token
ACCESS_SECRET='' # Access token secret
SCREEN_NAME='' # Twitter handle (without the @ character)

To get the API keys, you need to apply for a Twitter Developer account.
It's free and take ~5 minutes.

Lastly, add a banner template file with this specific name : twitter-banner.png.

You'll have to make sure the banner template file is an image in PNG format.

Besides, you'll have to resize it by following the official sizing recommendations:

• width: 1500px,
• height: 500px

i.e. 1500x500 in px
