several questions after I successfully run this project #1884

  1. How can I keep getting updates from target accounts? for example, I set the target account to Elon Musk
{
  "Elon Musk": "from:elonmusk"
}

How to refresh the contents reguarly?

  1. support quiet mode?

When run this tool, it pops with default browser, then auto-login, collect posts.

could we set a quiet mode, without any pop websites, and get the posts and save to output directly?

@ozbillwang This project & application is currently in the generate of RSS feeds of Twitter search results that I would like to collect. The operation is then collected and updated by GitHub Actions.

A definition of this behavior can be found: https://github.com/book000/twitter-rss/blob/master/.github/workflows/update-rss.yml And this is delivered: https://book000.github.io/twitter-rss/

If you want to implement something similar, you will need to fork this project, activate GitHub Actions, and then update your environment variables and configuration files appropriately.

Then I will answer your questions.

  1. How can I keep getting updates from target accounts? for example, I set the target account to Elon Musk

The only way to do this is to run the program regularly by some means. There are several ways to do this, in my case I employed GitHub Actions. The advantage is that there is no limit to the cumulative execution time if it is a public repository. I think another option would be to purchase or rent a server, to run the program.

  1. support quiet mode?

I use a library called puppeteer to make the browser run automatically. It has a mode called “headless mode” that allows it to run without displaying a screen. However, Twitter detects this, so this method cannot be used.

A workaround is to use a virtual display server. In my case, I use Xvfb.

thanks, for item 1, I am fine to set the scheduler.

For item 2, quiet mode. Seems you can run your tool in docker, that means quiet mode already, right? Because you can't start virtual display in docker container.

Let me take a try.

FROM zenika/alpine-chrome:with-puppeteer-xvfb AS runner

This looks promise. 👍

As you might have guessed, you can realize this with zenika/alpine-chrome:with-puppeteer-xvfb. Please try it! https://github.com/jlandure/alpine-chrome
