Build Status

"Tiny Flower Beds" is a bot that posts a tiny flower bed on Twitter every few hours. It is licensed under the GPL license.

Getting started

In order to use this bot, you'll need to have access to the Twitter API.

You can request access and get your credentials here.

The bot will check for a file called config.txt.

config.txt should have the following format:

CONSUMER_KEY = '<CONSUMER KEY>'
CONSUMER_SECRET = '<CONSUMER SECRET>'
ACCESS_KEY = '<ACCESS KEY>'
ACCESS_SECRET = '<ACCESS SECRET>'

By default, this bot will prioritize environment variables over the config.txt file.

If you believe that environment variables are more convenient for you, then you will need to register the following keys:

  • CONSUMER_KEY
  • CONSUMER_SECRET
  • ACCESS_KEY
  • ACCESS_SECRET ... and assign those keys to their respective values.
