fngbot

I am a bot that tweets an object from the collection of the Finnish National Gallery: Ateneum, Kiasma and Sinebrychoff art museums.

Thanks to the Finnish National Gallery for releasing data on their 36 000+ artworks.

Follow along:

• https://twitter.com/KiasmaBot
• https://twitter.com/SinebrychoffBot

To use, create an app on Twitter with write permissions and put the Twitter key and secret in a YAML file. Specify the art museum with the --unit argument, otherwise it'll pick a random artwork from the whole collection.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
