Automatically like tweets from followed accounts

Run the scheduler with your preferred cadence. By default it processes every 30 minutes, liking up to two recent tweets per followed account and recording already-liked tweets in liked_tweets_state.json so they are not processed again.

python like_following_scheduler.py --interval 45 --tweets-per-user 1 --max-users 50

Useful flags:

• --run-once – perform a single pass and exit.
• --min-delay / --max-delay – control the random pause between likes to mimic organic behaviour.
• --state-file – change where the scheduler stores tweet IDs it has already processed.
