from TwitterFollowBot import TwitterBot

my_bot = TwitterBot()
my_bot.auto_follow("phrase")
my_bot.auto_follow_from_phrase("phrase")

You can also search based on hashtags:

from TwitterFollowBot import TwitterBot

my_bot = TwitterBot()
my_bot.auto_follow("#hashtag")
my_bot.auto_follow_from_phrase("#hashtag")

By default, the bot looks up the 100 most recent tweets. You can change this number with the `count` parameter:

from TwitterFollowBot import TwitterBot

my_bot = TwitterBot()
my_bot.auto_follow("phrase", count=1000)
my_bot.auto_follow_from_phrase("phrase", count=1000)

####Automatically follow any users that have followed you
