Hey! I’m making a twitter bot to help my school, see, we have a twitter account wich posts the status of the college but it blocks everyone all the time so i’m setting up a bot that could get the tweets from that account and then post them without retweeting them or anything like that. I have a bot made who just searches for a word and then answer the post but i can’t figure out the way to do that.
//gets tw module
var Twitter = require('twitter');
//gets the json
var keys = require('./keysBot.json');
//sets up bot
var client = new Twitter(keys);
//word to search
var word = 'cnbotayuda';
//variables
var id_str, screen_name;
var
client.stream('statuses/filter', {track: word}, function(stream) {
console.log('Bot searching for the word ' + word + '.');
stream.on('data', function(tweet) {
var array = tweet.text.split('cnbotayuda')
{ //search the word
console.log(tweet.text); //shows the tweet with the word
//save
id_str = tweet.id_str;
screen_name = tweet.user.screen_name;
//answer
client.post('statuses/update', {in_reply_to_status_id: id_str,
status: '@' + screen_name + ' LOL'},
function(error, tweet, response){
if(error) throw error;
console.log(tweet); // cuerpo del tweet
});
}
})
stream.on('error', function(error) {
throw error;
});
});
