Register as developer over at Twitter

Setup a Ravencoin full node

The node has to run in server mode, here is an example configuration

server=1
whitelist=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
txindex=1
addressindex=1
assetindex=1
timestampindex=1
dbcache=2048
# Username for JSON-RPC connections
rpcuser=notsharingthatone

# Password for JSON-RPC connections
rpcpassword=notsharingthatone

Node.js

You need to have Node.js https://nodejs.org/en/ installed

GIT CLONE

You need to have git installed

To download the code run\ git clone https://github.com/ravenrebels/twitterbot.git

Install code dependencies

In the "git cloned" directy, run\ npm install

Configure your project

Create a file called CONFIG.json.\ Example

{
  "bearer": "FAKE_FAKE_AAAAAasdfasdfyMSAEAAAAABQasdfasdfeIasdfasdfDincauODaKCasdfasdffXkA3001KLcQUps02bAeasdfasdf4g",
  "interval": 20,
  "rpcUsername": "myVerySecretUsername",
  "rpcPassword": "myMegaSecretPassword",
  "rpcURL": "http://127.0.0.1:8766",
  "RAVENCOIN_ASSET_NAME": "HOPIUM",
  "scanMinutesBackInTime": 5,
  "tweetId": "1111222233334444"
}

scanMinutesBackInTime dictates how far back in time (history) in minutes Twitter should give us replies. 10 means give us all replies for the last 10 minutes. Try to keep this low because Twitter has a cap limit, how many tweets you can read.
interval dictates how often (seconds) you want to check for new replies over at Twitter.
bearer is your Twitter project/apps Bearer token

NOTE: we ask twitter every interval seconds to give us all the tweet/replies for the last scanMinutesBackInTime minutes. This affects your quota, performance cap over at Twitter. Twitter has a limit for about 500.000 reads per month. Try to keep scanMinutesBackInTime low.

Start

Your Ravencoin node should be up and running
