PyBot

This is a Twitterbot. Built to run on Kubernetes and also uses Pure Service Orchestrator for persistent data.

Take a look at the code in ./bots

• autoreply.py - code to reply to mentions
• config.py - sets the API connection
• followFollowers_data.py - Follows anyone that follows you, then writes some of their recent tweets to a CSV on a pure-file FlashBlade filesystem
• followFollowers.py - All the followback with no data collection
• tweet_game_score.py - future
• tweet_game_setup.py - future

Testing the code on your machine

Prereqs

• python3
• twitter account with API keys
• Pure Service Orchestrator and working Kubernetes

Step 1

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 2

Create env variables for each key. The config.py will pull from the local OS. In this case your local machine.

export CONSUMER_KEY='some key'
export CONSUMER_SECRET='some secret'
export ACCESS_TOKEN='some token'
export ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET='some token secret'

For the autoreply.py and favretweet.py you need a search key too.

export SEARCH_KEY='then thing I search for'

Be careful, if you are testing the favretweet.py program and use a common word for search you will see many many likes and retweets.

Step 3

Run the code. If all is working you will see logs and action on twitter.

$ ./autoreply.py
