Twitter Bot

This repo contains the source for the Twitter bot which Tweet out the latest Ticket price after a fixed interval of time.

All the bots are made with the help of tweepy library for accessing the Twitter API, and CoinMarketCap API for accessing the latest financial market data, and Railway for the deployment.

✔️ Prerequisite

• Twitter Developer Account

  • We need to get a developer account for getting private keys and secrets. we can apply from it here, it will take 5-10 min for setting up a Dev account.

• CoinMarketCap API Keys (Optional if we don't need any financial market data)

  • We can use any financial market API for getting the latest quote of the assets, but here we are using the CoinMarketCap API free plan. we can get API access from here.

• Railway Account (Only necessary if we want to host the bot, not for running locally)

  • For deploying and running we will use Railway. Here we are using Railway because it's free and can run the bot for 24X7 without any refreshment.

🖱️ Using and quick set-up guide:

• Fork this repository

• Install all the dependencies from requirements.txt file. We can also use the command to install all the dependencies at once.

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

• Create a .env file in the root folder and add in our API keys and like so :

Note: Here I have included 2 sets of keys because I am running 2 different bots from the same repo,
we can also use one of them, either BTC or Doge

BTC_CON_KEY = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX     (TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY)
BTC_CON_SECRET = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  (TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET)
BTC_KEY = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX         (TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN)
BTC_SECRET = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX      (TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
BTC_COIN_KEY = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX    (CoinMarketCap API KEY)

DOGE_CON_KEY = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX      (TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY)
DOGE_CON_SECRET = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX   (TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET)
DOGE_KEY = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX          (TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN)
DOGE_SECRET = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX       (TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
DOGE_COIN_KEY = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX     (CoinMarketCap API KEY)

• Run python3 doge.py or python3 btc.py, depending on which bot we are running.

Hosting the Bot

For hosting it remotely, we need to add some files like Procfile and requirements.txt, which are already present in the repo. We just need to add the API keys in the variable section on the Railway platform while deployment.

Note: Here I am running both the bot at the same time remotely, due to that we are using a bash srcipt in the Procfile, we can run single bot by having web: python doge.py in the Procfile, for more details, please check Railway Offical Docs
