About the User Map

The user_map is a dict containing info about the users added to a Profile

• It’s used to help detect new posts and compose tweets on a per-user basis

• Entries are created when you add_users(), which map the user to a USER_MAPPING

• The USER_MAPPING maintains lists of hashtags, scraped posts, and sent tweets

• The mapping is updated when you add_hashtags() and successfully send_tweet()

You can access entries in the user_map as follows:

• get_user() allows you to retrieve a full entry by username

• get_hashtags_for(), get_scraped_from(), get_tweets_for() provide access to lists
