and grab the API key , API secret key , Access token , Access token secret , you need it later.

2. install Tweepy python library , do it by following command :

pip install tweepy


3. code it for sending a tweet
3a. import Python library tweepy

import tweepy


3b. put API key, API secret key, Access token, Access token secret what you generated at https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps


consumer_key='***************'
consumer_secret_key='**********************************'
access_token='***********************************************'
access_token_secret='*****************************************'



3c. start authentication with tweepy by OAuthHandler
