TootBot

A small python 3.x script to replicate tweets on a mastodon account.

This repo is a fork of https://github.com/cquest/tootbot with a lot of changes :

• Use nitter
• More configuration possibilities
• .ini configuration file

The script only need mastodon login/pass to post toots.

A sqlite database is used to keep track of tweets than have been tooted.

The script is simply called by a cron job and can run on any server (does not have to be on the mastodon instance server).

# clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/lelibreauquotidien/tootbot.git

Usage

Create configuration file with the model (tootbot.ini.example)

python3 tootbot.py -c your-tootbot-conf.ini

It's up to you to add this in your crontab :)
