+# Twitter API Scripts
+
+This repository contains simple scripts that allow you to interact with the Twitter API to post text tweets and tweets with images.
+
+## Getting started
+
+### Twitter API Setup
+Before you can use these scripts, you need to set up a Twitter Developer account and create an application to obtain API keys and secrets. Follow these steps to get your credentials:
+
+#### Create a Twitter Developer Account:
+If you don't already have a Twitter Developer account, go to the Twitter Developer Portal and sign up.
+
+#### Create a New Twitter App:
+Once you're logged in, click on the "Projects & Apps" tab.
+Click the "Create App" button and fill in the necessary information.
+After creating the app, navigate to the "Keys and tokens" tab to find your API keys and secrets.
+#### Add Keys to Scripts:
+In the script files (tweet_text.py and tweet_image.py), replace the placeholders:
+- YOUR_API_KEY, 
+- YOUR_API_SECRET, 
+- YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN, 
+- YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET 
+
+with the actual keys and tokens obtained from the Twitter Developer Portal.
+
+## Installing Dependencies
+To run the scripts, you need to have Python and few libraries installed. If you haven't installed it yet, you can do so using the following command:
+```bash
+pip install tweepy requests_oauthlib requests
+```
+** To use script only for tweeting text you don't need to install tweepy. Tweepy will be helpful with posting images on twitter.
+
+## Using the Scripts
+
+### Tweeting Text Posts
+To tweet a text post using the tweet_text.py script, follow these steps:
+
+Open a terminal and navigate to the project directory.
+Run the script with the following command:
+```bash
+python tweet_text.py "Your text here"
+```
+Replace "Your text here" with the text you want to tweet.
+
+### Tweeting Posts with Images
+To tweet an image along with a text caption using the tweet_image.py script, follow these steps:
+
+Place the image you want to tweet in the images directory.
+Open a terminal and navigate to the project directory.
+Run the script with the following command:
+```bash
+python tweet_image.py images/your_image_filename.jpg "Your caption here"
+```
+Replace "Your caption here" with your desired caption and images/your_image_filename.jpg with the actual path to your image file.
