This project has been abandoned due to Twitter's new API price structure. A new Mastodon-based project is upcoming.

Node Twitter Follow Stats

A script to run at a scheduled interval to retrieve new/removed follows and followers

Installation

• npm install
• Copy .envSample to .env and update the values appropriately. You can get many of these values by creating a Twitter app at https://apps.twitter.com/.
• Create the json directory and within that folder, create followers.json with proper read + write permissions and begin with the file content of {}

Running

• node index.js
• You may want to add this to a cron job to receive regular emails

TODO

• Restoring following stats
• Email options instead of just a console.log
• Caching to avoid rate limit issues (will likely require a change to the JSON structure)
• Tests
• Fleshing out this README
