Connect and Post with the Twitter API

Post tweets to X (Twitter) for free using Python and Tweepy—no paid API tiers required. In this tutorial, I show you a simple, beginner-friendly way to connect to the Twitter API using Jupyter Notebooks and publish a tweet with Python using the free access level. We start by walking through the Twitter Developer Portal, explaining the different API tiers and why the free plan is more than enough for learning and basic automation. You’ll see how to create a project and app, generate your API keys, bearer token, and access tokens, and configure app permissions correctly so posting tweets actually works. Next, we jump into Jupyter Notebook and use the Tweepy client to authenticate with Twitter’s API. I explain exactly which credentials are required, how they map to Tweepy’s Client, and how to safely pass them into your Python code. Once connected, we create and send a tweet using a single API call—then verify it live on Twitter. This video is perfect if you want to learn Twitter automation, experiment with APIs in Python, or build simple social media bots without spending money on paid API plans. ⭐ Like & Subscribe If this helps you, hit 👍 and subscribe 🔔 — it really supports the channel. 💸 Support & Bonus Some links below are affiliate links, which help support the channel at no extra cost to you. - Amazon: https://amzn.to/4kRpXQk - Robinhood: https://join.robinhood.com/travisb-707fa1 🌐 GitLab: https://gitlab.com/MadTcTutorials Reference: https://docs.tweepy.org/en/stable/client.html 🔑 Keywords / Hashtags twitter api python free, post tweet python tweepy, twitter api free tier, tweepy client python tutorial, post to twitter with python, x api python tutorial, python twitter bot beginner, twitter developer api setup, tweepy jupyter notebook, python social media automation, twitter api v2 python, how to tweet with python #TwitterAPI #XAPI #PythonProjects #Python #Tweepy #JupyterNotebook #APITutorial #Automation #Developers #Coding #LearnPython #SocialMediaAutomation #TwitterDev #XDeveloper ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Create a Twitter API 03:55 Tweepy 04:31 Twitter and Jupyter Notebook 08:46 Posted to Twitter!
