# Iron_ebooks
|
|
|
|
A simple and hackish ruby script for pseudorandomly posting to a _ebooks account tweets derived from a regular twitter account
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
1. Signup for iron.io
|
|
2. Create a project at iron.io for doing ebooks tweets
|
|
3. Save the iron.json file locally to this directory
|
|
4. Signup for a Twitter account you want to use for ebooking things
|
|
5. Sign into dev.twitter.com with the same credentials
|
|
6. Create an application for your _ebooks account (generate the credentials)
|
|
7. Create a file named twitter_init.rb in this directory with the OAuth credentials and the source account you want to use for seeding the markov process
|
|
8. Upload to iron.io with `iron_worker upload ebook`
|
|
9. Run it with `iron_worker queue ebook` a few times
|
|
10. You can schedule it now to run regularly using the scheduler. I'd suggest once every 53 minutes or so.
|
|
|
|
## Debugging
|
|
|
|
You can force it to bypass the random running by passing up a payload to queue
|
|
```
|
|
iron_worker queue ebook -p '{"force": true}'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also make it run without tweeting by setting the tweet param to false
|
|
```
|
|
iron_worker queue ebook -p '{"force": true, "tweet": false}'
|
|
``` |
