# boodoo_ebooks
A turn-key, beginner-friendly, ready-to-deploy implementation of a traditional \_ebooks bot using Mispy's [twitter_ebooks](https://github.com/mispy/twitter_ebooks) library.
## Usage
Create your [Twitter app](https://apps.twitter.com) and generate access tokens with *Read, Write and Direct Messages* privileges.
[![Deploy](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.png)](https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/BooDoo/ebooks_example/tree/deploy)
Put your BOT_NAME, SOURCE_USERNAME, and API secrets into Heroku Config Vars using the web dashboard.
Scale your app to 1 dyno using the Heroku web dashboard.
Bob's your uncle.
## Default Behavior
Tweets once on startup.
Has 80% chance of tweeting every 2 hours.
Responds to mentions/DMs
Favorites tweets that it likes.
## Special Features
- **BLACKLIST**: accounts to not interact with
- **BANNED_TERMS**: words or phrases to obscure/censor
- DM commands (tweet, follow, unfollow, block, mention...)
- Follower parity (periodically compares following/followers and follows/unfollows as needed)
- Want something else? Create an [issue](https://github.com/BooDoo/ebooks_example/issues). No promises.
## TODO:
- Support full archive (via CSV uploaded elsewhere)
# DISCLAIMER:
I'm making this because I wrote a two-part tutorial for an older version of the twitter_ebooks gem and my mentions turned into a tech support hellscape for months.
Please [create issues](https://github.com/BooDoo/ebooks_example/issues) if you have trouble. 🙏 Please do not tweet at me. 🙏
