# In order to run this, you will need to get Twitter API access and set environment variables for the following:
# - TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY
# - TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET
# - TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN
# - TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET
# 
# Then, update TWITTER_ID below with your Twitter ID. This is a string of numbers 
# you can look up with http://gettwitterid.com/.
#
# You will also need to `pip install tweepy`.
#
# Finally, run `python unlike_bot.py`.
