Package Exports
- @reality.eth/twitter-bot
- @reality.eth/twitter-bot/index.js
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@reality.eth/twitter-bot) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
Twitter bot
This script will tweet out new reality.eth questions and answers.
It does this by querying the graph endpoints specified in @reality.eth/contracts.
Setting it up
Make a file called secrets/config.json with the settings from dev.twitter.com
{ "consumer_key": "...", "consumer_secret": "...", "access_token": "...", "access_token_secret": "..." }
You should also make a directory called state which will store the files tracking how much has been tweeted out so far.
Install dependencies either from packages/twitter-bot with npm install or from the top level of the repo with lerna bootstrap.
Initializing
cd packages/twitter-bot
The script is run with
node index.js 1,100
...where 1 and 100 are the chains you wish to tweet about. You can add the chain ID of any other chain with a graph endpoint set in @reality.eth/contracts.
The first time a new chain is initialized it should be run with the init flag.
node index.js 1,100 init
This will create a state file for the chain at the current timestamp. You can edit this manually if you want to tweet some of the existing entries.
Running automatically
Make a cron, eg to run every second we use:
* * * * * cd /home/ed/monorepo-twitter/packages/twitter-bot && node index.js 1,100
Lock files
The script uses lock files under state to ensure only one process is trying to tweet about a given chain at a time. If something breaks and the lock file isn't deleted, you may need to delete this file manually.
