Auto Ebooks

Auto ebooks is a Rails app that helps you create Twitter ebooks bots. All it needs is an OAuth sign in to the bot account and the username of the account to parody. This is mostly a wrapper around Mispy's awesome twitter_ebooks.

DO NOT USE TO SPAM, OR TO PARODY PEOPLE WHO WON'T GET THE JOKE

I'm not liable for any harm you cause by using this software.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/alyssais/auto-ebooks.git
cd auto-ebooks
bundle install
bin/rake db:create db:migrate

You must also set the TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY and TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET environment variables.

Running

These three commands must be run in parallel.

bin/rails server
bin/rake jobs:work
bin/rake bots:run

Creating a bot

Visit http://localhost:3000 in your web browser when the app is running and follow the instructions. Bots will start running soon after being created.
