Now get into the code,

Create an instance for the class SimpleTwitter

email = "Twitter_User_Email_Address"

password = "Twitter_Password"

user_name = "Abipravi1" 
#here i have entered my twitter username but you need to enter your's in this case

no_of_tweets = 10 
#this value is necessary how many no of tweets you want to perform operation

bot = SimpleTwitter(email, password, no_of_tweets, user_name)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

That's all we set up all the necessary requirements, Now let us go and perform the Twitter operations…..
