Setted up a twitterbot that retweets #fuze4switch and #fuzearena
-
Hey,
I'm exploring twitter, never fully understood how it worked or has to be used correctly but i'm learning.
I liked the #fuze4switch tag / search but i did not like i could not see those tweets appearing in my "home" page. So i setted up a retweet bot that retweets everything from #fuze4switch and #fuzearena.
I still have to test it out all a bit, but retweeting is working and currently being done about every 15 minutes or so as i'd have to test if i won't exceed the twitter limits.
The bot is running on one of my raspberry pi's which is running 24/7 except if i have internet or power failure. I use the same raspberry pi as dns / pi hole server anyway so i can not access the internet without it running :)

Let's talk. I'm considering setting up a bot to post new catalog entries as they are shared.

Hey Mike,
It's very simple you just have to sign up with the developper program and answer a few questions about your app etc you also need to create a new account for the bot to use and get access token for it (on same developpers page when logged in with that account)
then i just used this retweet bot to set it up. Its running in python and i just let it run using cron ever 15 minutes or so.
If you look at that code it should be very easy to adapt to things for your own needs.
