Twitter Junkie Bot

A tiny project to post status messages into a specific twitter account.

In this case I am posting to @euskaltantak twitter account basque-spanish translations, but you can change the feed easily.

Up and runnig

• If you have a twitter account but you still don't have a Twitter app, create one: (a tutorial here
  • Log into your twitter account and go to: https://apps.twitter.com/
  • Click on 'Create New App' and fill in Name, Description and Website. (Fallback url is not necessary)
  • Enter into your new Twitter App, and go to 'Keys and Access Tokens'.
  • Click on 'Generate Consumer Key and Secret' with Read and Write permissions.
  • Done. You will need: Consumer Key, Consumer Secret, Access Token and Access Token Secret.
• Project set up is easy:
  • git clone git@github.com:xabierlegasa/twitter-junkie-bot.git twitter-junkie-bot
  • cd twitter-junkie-bot
  • composer install
  • cp config/twitter_credentials_EXAMPLE.json config/twitter_credentials.json
  • Set correct credentials from step one on config/twitter_credentials.json file
• Post to twitter
  • cd web && php post_status_to_twitter.php

I want to post something else

You have to implement this simple interface: src/Feed/TwitterFeed.php

<?php

namespace TwitterJunkieBot\Feed;

interface TwitterFeed
{
    /** Get a status message to be posted in twitter
     * @return string
     */
    public function getStatusMessage();
}

In my case, I created: src/Feed/TwitterFeedBasqueDictionary.php which builds a message, from a Basque-Spanish json dictionary. But you can create your own implementation and directly inject it on this class: web/post_status_to_twitter.php
