birthday automator

Primary LanguagePython

Never forget to congratulate your friends and family on their birthday!!!

DESCRIPTION

This is a simple script that automatically posts "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"-like phrase on your facebook friends wall on the day of their birthday.

WHY

people having a lot of facebook friends and having not enough time and memory to manage birthday's mess.

HOW

  • you provide token
  • on every launch it requests you friends list using your access_token
  • builds today birthday candidates
  • post contgrat phrase to the wall (there are more that 30 messages in different languages)

WHAT IT DOESN'T:

  • it doesn't persist ANY data to ANY database

DEPLOY

  1. before using you should get you access_token (see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/)
  2. run main.py once or use cron for automatic daily launch

OPEN ISSUES

token should be updated every x days as fb got rid of offline_access
