gotwit

A library for creating twitter bots.

Getting Started

Copy the files from template/ to a new project.

Rename secret.example.json to secrets.json and fill in the tokens with your bot's API tokens.

Running on Heroku

Install Godep:

$ go get github.com/tools/godep

Freeze the dependencies:

$ godep save

Add a Procfile containing the following:

worker: <project-name>

Commit everything:

$ git init
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Initial commit."

Now you're ready to push to Heroku.

Create a Heroku instance:

$ heroku create -b https://github.com/heroku/heroku-buildpack-go.git <project-name>

Set up the environment:

$ heroku config:set \
    GOTWIT_CONSUMER_KEY=<consumer-key> \
    GOTWIT_CONSUMER_SECRET=<consumer-secret> \
    GOTWIT_ACCESS_TOKEN=<access-token> \
    GOTWIT_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=<access-token-secret>

Now you're ready to go. Push it live:

$ git push heroku master
