After registering a Twitter App, make sure to enable Read/Write permissions in the App settings. Create an .env file in the root of the project based on .env.example. We can use this data in our file with an object like this:

Hello guys! I have spent a few hours now, trying to get my tweepy to work. I have made an app on developer.twitter.com, trying to post somwthing on twitter. I feel like I have tried everything, and I have even consulted my friend ChatGPT for help, but I keep getting lost in the documentation and GPT is of no help in this case!

Please visit developer.twitter.com to sign up to our new Free, Basic or Enterprise access tiers.

In the meantime, you can learn more about the Twitter API v2 and find resources on developer.twitter.com. We appreciate your continued interest in developing on the Twitter API.

As a prerequisite, you need a Twitter Developer account. With a Twitter account, it's easy: navigate to https://developer.twitter.com and register a new app. Make sure that you create a Twitter app that has read and write permissions!

This kind of has us scrambling a bit, actually. Not because we'd have to pay per se, but rather we've been using their API for so long on our website (and def still on v1.1) that now when we check the developer site it just funnels to a "Sign up" and no longer shows us our existing/old apps, so we cannot find/figure out which account was linked to our production credentials (and that's really on us for not staying on top of which account that was).

To start the process to become a "Twitter developer" visit developer.twitter.com, sign-in and start the process... It may be an annoying process with manually reviews.

Twitter API

2 - Create a developer account that you will associate with your Twitter account. To do this, go to https://developer.twitter.com. You click on Sign up, then you will have to follow the instructions and choose the Bot option for the use you will make of the API. Once you have created your account, you will be assigned a Bearer Token. Keep it safe, as you will need it to make your requests later.

To start using Twitter API, you need to register for a developer account (including phone number verification). Once you register, you will be prompted to create the first application. You will immediately receive API Key and API Key Secret – but ignore them, since these are only for OAuth 1.0. Instead, go to your project's dashboard, there go to the App Settings of the only application you created. In application settings, find User authentication settings and click Set up.

Solutions are many, and could include Docker Compose, VS Code dev containers, Telepresence, Localstack or setting up temporary AWS accounts as a development environment for serverless applications.

Using Docker Compose to run Postgres and any third-party services locally provides a streamlined and consistent development environment. Developers can define services in a docker-compose.yml file, which enables them to configure and launch an entire stack with a single command. In this case, Postgres is encapsulated within a container with predefined configurations. Docker Compose also facilitates easy scaling, updates, and isolation of services, enhancing development efficiency and reducing the setup time for new team members or transitioning between projects. It encapsulates complex configurations, such as Postgres' performance monitoring and logging settings, in a manageable, version-controlled file, simplifying and replicating the service setup across different environments.

“Compose simplifies the control of your entire application stack, making it easy to manage services, networks, and volumes in a single, comprehensible YAML configuration file. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration file.” - Docker documentation

Docker,

This foundation now opens the door to even more powerful concepts. You can explore more advanced concepts such as container networking, streamlining the management of complex applications with Docker Compose, and how to make your application data persistent using volumes.

In many projects that are containerized, especially in cases where development is also done locally with docker-compose, teams often have two Dockerfiles, 1 for Development, the other for Production. If you happen to have multiple environments like pre-prod, staging and so on, some teams could have different Dockerfiles for these environments.
