#LatourSwag
This bot mixes quotes from renowned sociologist Bruno Latour with the last 100 results for the Twitter search "#swag and".
The code in latourswag.js
is pretty extensively commented, so hopefully it answers all your questions about how it oworks.
NOTE: this is the source code to an earlier version of @latourswag than what lives at the official @LatourSwag twitter account. I hope to update this soon with the newer version, but I had this one sitting around with the code already commented all nice and pretty.
##Instructions
Requires node and npm (installing node installs npm too). You also need a Twitter App access token, consumer key, and associated secrets. You can get those here. You'll probably also want a fresh twitter account for your bot, though you could have it post to one you already own, too!
Clone the repo, then in your project directory, install the dependencies:
$ npm install
Next, edit config.js
to include your Twitter App access token, consumer key, and associated secrets. This is important! Without this you'll be unable to tweet.
$ node latourswag.js
This will give you some output, including, after a bit, a bunch of text that is the tweet that's just been tweeted. You can check the twitter account to see if it's updated to verify that it actually works.
