Let's be honest here. President Trump's tweeting habits aren't the best. It seems like he says lots of crazy things on impetus. Well what if I want to tweet right back at him? That's where Tweet@Trump comes in.

This application, simply put, allows you to respond to President Trump's tweets (or anybody's tweets for that matter) with a generic message mere milliseconds after he sends one out.

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

You will need the Git CLI and the Heroku CLI installed on your machine.

You will need to create an application in Twitter Apps

This project is written in Python 3.6.0 so you're probably going to need that.

Installation

A step by step series of what to do to get Tweet@Trump running.

Clone the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/SishaarRao/Tweet-at-Trump.git

Go in and edit secret.py with your Consumer & Access keys

# Go to http://dev.twitter.com and create an app.
# The consumer key and secret will be generated for you after
CONSUMER_KEY = 'INSERT YOUR CONSUMER KEY HERE'
CONSUMER_SECRET = 'INSERT YOUR SECRET CONSUMER KEY HERE'

# After the step above, you will be redirected to your app's page.
# Create an access token under the the "Your access token" section
ACCESS_KEY = 'INSERT YOUR ACCESS KEY HERE'
ACCESS_SECRET = 'INSERT YOUR SECRET ACCESS KEY HERE'

Go in and edit message.txt with the message you'd like to tweet

This is my message that I want to reply with. Don't include the @ in the beginning. Make sure it's less than 150 characters!

Go in and edit main.py with the USERNAME you'd like to tweet @.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import tweepy, time, sys
from secret import CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET, ACCESS_KEY, ACCESS_SECRET

# User that you want to immediately respond to
USERNAME = "realDonaldTrump"
...

Running a Test

You can run main.py on your local machine.

$ python3 main.py

Note: Your account will only automatically tweet while the program is running, so set the @ account to your friend's, tell them to tweet while it's running, and see if the program tweets in response.

Deployment

Tweet@Trump will be deployed through Heroku so that you don't have to run it locally on your system.

Make sure you have heroku and git on your system, and make sure to login to both.

$ heroku --version
$ git --version
$ heroku login

Run setup.sh

$ bash setup.sh

After a few seconds, run this command. If you see 'worker: crashed', refer to Errors. If not, then Tweet@Trump is up!

$ heroku ps

If you decide that you want to turn off the autoreply, simply run turnOff.sh

$ bash turnOff.sh

If, after doing this you want to turn it back on, simply run turnOn.sh

$ bash turnOn.sh

Errors

If you run $ heroku ps and see something along these lines:

=== worker (Free): python main.py (1)
worker.1: crashed 2017/03/25 21:15:25 -0400 (~ 11s ago)

Run $ heroku logs and read for errors, which will look something like this:

2017-03-26T01:15:16.554159+00:00 heroku[worker.1]: Starting process with command `python main.py`

2017-03-26T01:15:25.001256+00:00 heroku[worker.1]: State changed from up to crashed

Reading through logs, we can see the message 2017-03-26T01:15:19.037822+00:00 app[worker.1]: ERROR : connection failed. Check your OAuth keys. which means you need to confirm your OAuth keys are correct.
