🎡 Mr. Beast's Twitter Challenge

Welcome to the Mr. Beast's Twitter Challenge!

This application is a fun project inspired by the famous YouTuber Mr. Beast and AI researcher Lex Fridman.

This application selects a random user who liked a particular tweet, making it a perfect tool for online Twitter challenges or giveaways.

⚙️ How it works

The application uses the Twitter API to fetch the users who have liked a specific tweet and stores them in an SQLite database. When the "Select Random Liker" button is pressed, a random user from the database is chosen as the "winner".

This application is created using Python, Streamlit for the web interface, and SQLite for data storage.

🫸🏾 Limitations

• Twitter API imposes rate limits, which restrict the number of requests you can make within a certain time period.
• Twitter API uses pagination for endpoints that could return large amounts of data, meaning you may need to make multiple requests to fetch all the data.
• SQLite databases are not designed to handle high levels of concurrent read/writes and lack certain features found in other DBMS.
• Twitter's Developer Policy requires that you respect user privacy and not hold onto data longer than necessary.
