Send a tweet from a GitHub Actions workflow

Use this action to send a tweet from a GitHub actions workflow.

This action is implemented in the Dart language and uses twitter_api_v2 for tweeting.

Note:
This project is inspired by send-tweet-action created by @ethomson.

Twitter Application Setup

First, you'll need to create a Twitter application if you haven't already. This will allow you to programmatically authenticate to the Twitter API and send a tweet.

If you haven't already, visit developer.twitter.com/apps and create a Twitter application. Then create keys and tokens to use for authentication.

Secret Configuration

Configure the authentication keys and tokens for your Twitter app as secrets in your repository. I recommend using the TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN, TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY, TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET, TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN, and TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET secrets.

Workflow Usage

Configure your workflow to use dart-actions/tweet@v1.0.0, and provide the tweet you want to send as the text input.

Provide the authentication keys and tokens for your Twitter app as the consumer-key, consumer-secret, access-token, and access-token-secret inputs.

For example:

name: Send a Tweet

on:
    [push]

jobs:
  tweet:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: dart-actions/tweet@v1.0.0
        with:
          text: "Hello, World!"
          consumer-key: ${{ secrets.TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY }}
          consumer-secret: ${{ secrets.TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET }}
          access-token: ${{ secrets.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
          access-token-secret: ${{ secrets.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET }}

Or, you can use access token issued by OAuth 2.0 PKCE as bearer-token.

name: Send a Tweet

on:
    [push]

jobs:
  tweet:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: dart-actions/tweet@v1.0.0
        with:
          text: "Hello, World!"
          bearer-token: ${{ secrets.TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN }}

Now whenever you push something to your repository, GitHub Actions will tweet on your behalf.
