The Android app is now available on the play store! You can find it here or by searching for TrumpBot.
A long long time after the hackathon, we eventually built a web version. We used Vue.js to create the application. Try it out here
Response: API Working
This is just a test to determine whether the API is online.
This will return a completely random sentence.
You can customise it by sending a parameter:
?q=<SENTENCE>
- Tensorflow didn't seem to work, so after many hours of attempted (and failed) bug fixes, we switched from LSTM networks to simple Markov Chains.
- Twitter has a limit on the number of tweets you can download. An alternative method of harvesting tweets was found.
- Python 3.5.2
- Flask Python Package
- Twython Python Package
- h5py Python Package
- scipy Python Package
- Ngrok (temporary, for tunelling local server to the internet)
- OhmGeek's fork of markov-sentence-generator (for generating the sentences)
On Linux, simply open terminal, navigate to the folder where run.sh is located
$ cd /path/to/server/
Make sure run.sh is executable (note: this requires root)
$ chmod +x run.sh
Finally, run the script
$ ./run.sh
To use Twilio, you will need to create an account, and go through all the Twilio sign up procedure (including gettting a phone number).
Once you have done this, go to the phone.py script and enter the URI of the main bot server.
$ python3 phone.py
This will run the phone server. Then enter the URI of the phone server in the section called 'Web Hooks' on Twilio.
