go-tweet

go-tweet is a tool written in Go that sends scheduled tweets defined in a JSON file using the Twitter v2 API.

Installation

To install go-tweet, you'll need to have Go installed on your system. Then, you can install go-tweet using the following command:

git clone https://github.com/utilizedwill/go-tweet.git

Configuration

Before you can use go-tweet, you'll need to set up a Twitter app and get your API keys. You can do this by following the instructions in the Twitter developer documentation.

Before you can use go-tweet, you'll need to modify a auth.json file in the root/static directory of your project with your Twitter API credentials. You can visit Twitter developer documentation page to create Twitter API credentials. The file should have the following structure:

{
    "apiKey": "",
    "apiSecretKey": "",
    "accessToken": "",
    "accessTokenSecret": ""
}

Replace apiKey, apiSecretKey, accessToken, and accessTokenSecret with your actual API keys and access tokens.

Usage

To use go-tweet, you'll need to define your tweets in a JSON file called tweets.json. The file should have the following structure:

{
    "tweets": [
        {
            "tweet": "First tweet",
            "date": "2023-05-07",
            "done": true
        },
        {
            "tweet": "Second tweet",
            "date": "2023-05-08",
            "done": false
        },
        {
            "tweet": "Thirt tweet",
            "date": "2023-05-08",
            "done": false
        },
        {
            "tweet": "Fourth tweet",
            "date": "2023-05-08",
            "done": false
        }
    ]
}

Each tweet should have a tweet field containing the text of the tweet, a date field containing the date the tweet should be sent (in YYYY-MM-DD format), and a done field that is set to false initially.

To send your scheduled tweets, run the following command:

go run main.go

This command will check the current date and send any tweets that have a scheduled date in the past and a done status of false. The done status of these tweets will be set to true to avoid sending them again in the future.
