As seen on YouTube

Usage

Boilerplate:

    const tweetfree = require('./index');
    const tweetListener = require('./utils/search')
    // enable debug to see what's happening in the browser via GUI
    const client = new tweetfree({ debug: false });

    await client.init();
    await client.login({
        email: '',
        password: '',
        username: ''
    });

    console.log('Logged in!')

    await client.tweet({ content: 'this is a test' })
    await client.tweet({ content: 'second test' })

    // 2nd param is post id 
    await client.execute('heart', { user: 'elonmusk', id: '1619770090530181120' })
    await client.execute('retweet', { user: 'elonmusk', id: '1619770090530181120' })

    const data = await client.getUser({ user: 'elonmusk' });
    // {
    //   followers: '127.8M',
    //   following: '177',
    //   joinedAt: 'June 2009',
    //   tweets: '22.5K Tweets',
    //   verified: true
    // }
    console.log(data)

    // "3000" - the delay between each search fetch
    const tweetEmitter = new tweetListener(client, 3000);

    tweetEmitter.on('tweetCreate', async (tweet) => {
        // destroy the listener after receiving 1 tweet
        // WARNING: you will receive 20~ of the current tweets mentioning the username
        // WARNING: ^^ when running for the first time

        await tweetEmitter.stopListening();

        // create a tweet
        await client.tweet({ content: `hello ${tweet.author}, i have received your tweet saying: ${tweet.content}, turns out it had mentioned: ${tweet.mentioned}`})
    })
    // keep track of the stopping reason
    tweetEmitter.on('stop', ((reason) => console.log(reason)))

The code doesn't keep track of sessions?

Yes, the code isn't able to receive the auth_token cookie becauase it's a HTTPOnly cookie. These can only be accessed via the extension APIs, therefore:

  • install EditThisCookie
  • log into twitter;
  • open the extension;
  • click the export icon;
  • paste the code inside cookies.json.

Or, let the code log in everytime (might make your account look sus, amogus if you will.)

Warning

The code was written purely for fun, not suited for big projects due to the limitations caused by the fact that it only works in 1 tab.

Feel free to modify the code to your desired needs, as it's made easy to do so.
