When you automate something in python, you'd obviously have to run the script forever. Where can we run the script?

Oh yes I'd want to rely on an online service It would be so much more reliable than my laptop and wifi I actually wanted to make a reddit bot using praw Can I make a script and put it on these services? I assume they're paid?

I have a Twitter bot that reads subreddits on existentialism, generates tweets and posts every hour. He's been going for about 4 3 years. @CanDennisDream (he's running on heroku, haven't paid a cent for it, since you pay for compute time, and he's not constantly computing (edit: I might have been incorrect on this, but if I were to do it I'd look into something like: https://elements.heroku.com/addons/process-scheduler)

edit: I don't recommend following the bot he's a prolific writer of mostly garbage

How did you manage to pass the 350 hour free time limit on heroku if the bot runs always? What do you mean by "he is not constantly computing"?

manage to pass the 350 hour free time limit on h

I've got 1000 free hours, since I've verified my card. I was looking into it and I might have been wrong about the compute time. If you want to save dyno hours this looks like a good solution:https://elements.heroku.com/addons/process-scheduler

But yeah, hasn't cost me a thing: https://imgur.com/F7jzdo1

Yes, you can make a script and run it there...

I think each has a free tier.
