Tweet @daily_shiba_inu
for an inspirational quote!
This bot was created with love and as a way to get back into Python coding. I've always been interested in automation and figured this was a great way to learn more about automation with Python.
The bot is a Flask application hosted on AWS. Currently, the bot tweets an inspirational quote from the Zen Quotes API alongside a random Shiba Inu image from the Shibe API. The Twitter API is then used to upload and post the image.
The bot also checks for mentions every 5 minutes and will respond to them with some wisdom!
If you wish to use this project as a template for creating your own bot, do the following.
- Create a developer account with Twitter
- Request elevated access to be able to use the API v2 (necessary to upload images)
- Save your keys in a .env or somewhere safe.
- Create an account with AWS or your hosting service of choice
