twitter to mastodon

Scope

This script will check against a specific user in twitter, then post the tweet to a Mastodon server. The main goal of this is to "repost" breaking news, so you don't have to watch multiple threads.

Usage

• You need to edit the config.toml with the settings.
  • server = The domain name of the server
  • bot_token = The bot token to post as
  • bearer_token = The token from the Twitter v2 API
  • name = The name of the account from Twitter
  • index = The "namespace" for this instance on the redis machine. Defaults to 5, but if you run this on mulitple times on the same machine, change this index.
• You need to have redis running, either install via brew or whatever to store posts this bot has done.
• You should also create a cronjob that runs this every min.
