The missing GIF Twitter bot. Simply tag @slashgif in your tweet with a search term.
Currently I'm running this bot on a 1GB DigitalOcean instance (yes, that's an affiliate link. Use that to get a free VPS for 2 months). The bot is not resource-intensive and uses a couple dozen MBs of RAM.
- Python 3.4
- pip3
- sqlite3
Create a file called config.py
that looks like config_example.py
. Fill in the necessary values.
For Twitter config:
- Register your app
- Get your app's key and secret.
- Create token and get the token and secret.
- Get a Giphy API key.
Then, to run the bot:
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ python3 bot.py
