Twitter Bot Auto Retweet ANY tweet of the people you follow - SomethingSpecial - Oct 5, 2015
I've had a look at various retweeters out there and most of them use keywords and only retween those specific ones. Is it possible to make a twitter bot that automatically retweets all tweets from the people you follow?
So when someone you're following tweets you instantly retweet it?

Yes you can, I'm not very familiar with twitter API. But if I had to do that :
- Get the list of friends : api.twitter.com/1.1/friends
- Get the tweets of friends
- Parse them. If tweet not already retweet )> retweet it !
But you need to store tweet in your DB you've already retweeted.
Or May be there is a method to check if you've already reweeted something, but if you follow too many people I think you'll get ban from twitter api (too many connections).
