Retweetr

Introduction

Retweetr is a simple database-free PHP twitter bot which offers multi-account retweeting/liking. You can retweet/like a single tweet across multiple accounts simultaneously within a few minutes of set-up.

Twitters API guidelines (at the time of writing this: 08/02/2018) suggest that automated retweeting is permitted as long as it's not used aggressively or spammy. Use at your own discretion.

Setup

1. Download or clone this repository onto a local or hosted web server running PHP
2. Create a twitter app from each account that you plan to retweet from at https://apps.twitter.com/
3. Open up config/accounts.php and add in a new array element for each of your apps created in the previous step
4. Visit the index.php file through a URL
5. Enter a twitter username in the input field and click "Get Tweets"
6. Choose a tweet and be patient, as random delays are put in place between each account to seem a little less automatic

Usage Notes

• You may need to bump up the max_execution_time value in your web servers php.ini file
• If the script times out, the engagements will still be sent providing the initial request went through
• Twitter accounts can receive temporary locks in the form of recaptchas - you will have to manually solve these or find an alternative automated solution
• If an account has already retweeted a chosen tweet, the script will unretweet and re-retweet which can be useful for making tweets appear at the top of the timeline
