Tweets quotes, images, etc. from the Risk-First project.

Deploying

Locally:

mvn assembly:assembly
scp target/twitter-bot-0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar [email protected]:~

This creates and deploys an uber-jar.

copy into a function directory. e.g.

liker
hackernews
risk-first

Each of these should have a twitter4j.properties in, and also tweeter.properties if there are other things to set.

On Box:

cd risk-first
java -jar twitter-bot-0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar org.riskfirst.twitter.Tweeter

Configuring A Bot Account

Apps

• Followed this: https://blog.dghubble.io/posts/friendly-twitter-bots/
• Once you have an app, you enable OAuth1 settings, which allows you to ask for read/write perms
• The URLs for OAuth don't matter - we're not going to use them

twurl

You can use twurl to generate the twitter login keys for you.

• Log in to your bot account using safari
• Run:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/twurl-0.9.6/bin/twurl authorize --consumer-key "API Key from App console" \
    --consumer-secret "API Secret from App console"

• Then, hit up the URL it asks for.
• After that the ~/.twurlrc file contains the keys you need.
