To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.
- Pipenv
pip install pipenv
Pip should be fine as well. The only package to be installed is python-twitter
-
Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/viraatdas/Text-New-Tweets.git
-
Pipenv environment - or you can use Pip
pipenv install
-
Environment file
mv config_template.py config.py
-
Access and API tokens for the Twitter API
-
Update the values in
config.pyaccordingly
python3 send_text.py
config.py can be edited while the code is running. If you look at send_text.py, I reload config every time there is a call to the Twitter API. Hopefully this makes it easy to add or remove phone numbers.
The code runs every 15 minutes. If there is a new tweet sent, it sends that out otherwise waits 15 minutes again.
If the tweet ends with a "*", then it won't be texted to the users.
I decided to use a free EC2 instance. Using the screen command, I simply let the code run in perpetuity.
