PrizePicks Automation Bot

• PrizePicks Automation: Automates the process of placing a bet on PrizePicks.
• Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously checks for new PrizePicks links from specified Twitter accounts.

• Tweepy
• Selenium
• ChromeDriver

cd prizepicks-automation-bot

2. Install Dependencies

Use pip to install the required Python packages.

pip install tweepy selenium

3. Twitter API Credentials

Create a Twitter Developer account and generate API keys. Replace the placeholder in the script with your actual credentials.

API_KEY = 'your_api_key'
API_SECRET_KEY = 'your_api_secret_key'
ACCESS_TOKEN = 'your_access_token'
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = 'your_access_token_secret'

4. ChromeDriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path='/path/to/chromedriver')
