Reweet Bot

Retweets the latest tweet using the "#MeetMaye" hashtag. It attempts to retweet once per hour. You can always change the # to fit your needs.

Install twit

Install twit while in the ./bot/ folder. The library that lets us talk to Twitter.

npm i twit

Connecting to Twitter

  • Create a Twitter App on Twitter Developers : https://apps.twitter.com/app/new .

  • Next you'll see a screen with a "Details" tab. Setup the App and "Application Type", choose "Read and Write".

Create an empty config.js file in the ./bot folder

Then go to the Keys and Access Tokens tab, you will need this data to setup our config.js as shown below.

module.exports = {
    consumer_key:         'API key',
    consumer_secret:      'API secret key',
    access_token:         'Access token',
    access_token_secret:  'Access token secret'
  }

In between those quotes, instead of 'key', paste the appropriate info from the Details page.

Run the app

Now type the following in the command line while in the ./bot folder directory

node bot.js

Celebrate

Expect a success message in your console!
