Make a Civic Issue Twitter Bot #16

Closed ondrae closed 9 years ago

ondrae commented 10 years ago

Post a random "help wanted" civic tech issue to Twitter thrice a day.

A general bot would use this url http://codeforamerica.org/api/issues/labels/help wanted?per_page=1

Make it specific for your Brigade http://codeforamerica.org/api/issues/labels/help wanted?organization_name=Code for San Francisco&per_page=1

Make one for Code for All or Brigade wide http://codeforamerica.org/api/issues/labels/help wanted?organization_type=Code for All&per_page=1

Do a Reddit bot too

If we spit out the civic issues as an rss feed, then we could do this super easy with IFTTT.

I just wanted to point it out here too that I setup a twitter bot that posts open civic issues a few times a day @civicissues.
