Twitter Bot that detects tweets that mention "3" and retweets back to them with a joke.

Primary LanguageJavaScript

Installation

  1. Clone this repository

  2. touch config.js

  3. Open up config.js, copy the below template, and fill in with your Twitter developer credentials.

  4. npm install.

     exports.twitterAccess = {
 "consumer_key": '',
 "consumer_secret": '',
 "access_token": '',
 "access_token_secret": ''
 };
 exports.screen_name = "";

Configuration

  • There are some variables you can change. For instance, to modify tweets and "bad" uses of 3 in tweets, check out three_tagline.js and usesofthree.js
  • To make sure this bot doesn't get banned, I prevent posting to the same user more than once by storing their names in a queue. If you implement this bot, make sure you are not spamming users.
  • Currently, I post every 7200000 ms (2 hours), but you can change that.
