StarStickersForEverythingBot

Description

Coded for Python 3.6

Based on StarStickersForEverything <3: https://www.facebook.com/StarStickersforEverything/

This python script gets the latest comments from the subreddit r/toastme and generates a phrase with the same kind of writting or style of the comments using Markov chains. Then it crops the text into an star template image and posts it to Facebook! There is nothing too complitaced in this script, so any modifications should be easy to apply (owo)

Disclaimer

Unfortunately, due to new Facebook politics, post can't be auto-uploaded anymore (yikes). The rest of the script still works!

Structure

Basic structure of the project. AT THE END OF EVERY .py FILE THERE IS AN EXAMPLE FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Reddit api

Main functionality is to save subreddits comments to the 'corpus' text file

A Reddit account and a Reddit app is nedeed More info at: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps and https://praw.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
Basic implementation:

a = RedditAPI()
a.SaveComments('toastme', 50, 'new', 'all', False)

Facebook api

Automated posting: Not allowed anymore since Facebook changed it's policy :(

Basic implementation PostImage(GetGraphInstance(), 'image_generated.png', '')

Star Sticker Generator

Generates sentences with similar styles based on comments at 'corpus.txt' and draw the generated phrase into a star template inside 'img' folder.

Basic implementation:

a = StarStickerGenerator()
print(a.Generate())

img folder

contains necessary images:

star_template: template for drawing text on
star_template_box_coordinates: contains information about coordinates for drawing the text in the correct place
generated_image: generated image

corpus.txt

here all the subreddit comments are saved with a break line at the end of each one of them.

utils.py

Origianly thought for sending email alert everytime an automated post failed or succeeded SendEmailNotification("this is a message", 'aaa@gmail.com', 'bbb@gmail.com')

requirements.txt

necessary libraries for this project to work You can install them with pip install -r requirements.txt
