ruby-template

This project is Microverse Ruby Capstone project. I have built a bot that posts a tweet at 12pm every day. I have selected three pages that interest me and my bot will retweet one of the recent 10 posts out of these three pages. It will also check its memory to confirm that it does not retweet the same tweet.

Built With

• RUBY
• Ruby Twitter Gem
• RSpec
• Visual Code

Getting Started

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

• Terminal
• Ruby Install
• RSpec Install
• An account on Twitter with a Developer Portal WebPAge

Setup

• Run bundle install to install the required gems on your computer

Clone the repository

• Click on the "code" button above on this page and copy the link to the repository
• Open a terminal (CTRL + ALT + T), type git clone and paste the link you copied in the previous step, then hit Enter Ex: ‘git clone https://github.com/RailonA/Twitter-bot.git’
• Go to the cloned repository using cd command ###Getting Your API Keys

After setting up your Twitter Developer Portal, you will need to make a new App.

On the top-left side select the arrow pointing down Select the Overview Select +Add App

After Making an app, you should see Settings and Keys and Tokens Select Keys and Tokens

You should now see Consumer Keys, please select Regenerate for the API key & secret as well as the Access token & secret

Use these credentials to fill out :

config.consumer_key = "YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY" config.consumer_secret = "YOUR_CONSUMER_SECRET" config.access_token = "YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" config.access_token_secret = "YOUR_ACCESS_SECRET"

Run tests

From the root folder (EX: ../Twitter-bot$ ), run ruby bin/bot.rb

You should see something similar to

‘Fascinating stuff done by @SpaceXRT @nettofarah: For some reason, Rails + PostgreSQL + Plain CSS + Heroku still beats every single “modern stack” for web app develop… https://t.co/DQmHieWRfZ’

Change NEEDED for the project to push to your Twitter Page

Step: 1

For the code to push the content to your Twitter page, you must go to the ‘lib/tweet_methods.rb‘ file and uncomment line 44 by highlighting the line and pressing (CTRL + ?) ‘@twitter.update("Fascinating stuff done by @#{@option_data_name[@randome_page]}" + selected_tweet)’ We can now delete line 43 ‘ puts "Fascinating stuff done by @#{@option_data_name[set_randome_page]}" + selected_tweet’

Step: 2

Run the program again by typing run ruby bin/bot.rb

You will now see a new Tweet on your Twitter account.
