@dogsperhour still exists, but the bot is paused.
Project proposal: Create a twitter bot using NodeJS to fetch a random dog picture and tweet it once every hour.
I was looking for a project to practice the creation and deployment of a Node.JS App and I was curious on how to build a Twitter Bot. So I decided to join both, practice NodeStreams, automation and Heroku Deployment.
v1.0 - Now the bot is hosted on Heroku.
v0.8 - Using AXIOS, the bot fetches the Dog API and buffers the image to Twitter Server. After that, it tweets the image.
v0.5 - The bot fetches the Random Dog API and downloads the image to my computer. From that, it uploads the picture to Twitter server. With that done, the bot tweets the picture. It happens once every hour.
