Make a Twitter Bot (Due Oct 11)

  1. Sign up for a twitter account for a bot and generate API keys. More info on how to do this.
  2. Add some links to your favorite bots and/or bot resources to the Bot References wiki.
  3. Create a bot (feel free to use one of the examples verbatim with your own twist.) Run your bot from your laptop for an hour or two so that it posts to twitter.
  4. Link below to your bot account.
  5. Using a blog, medium, or some other post, write up a short description of your experience making the bot. Embed a few tweets as part of the documentation.
  6. If you want to try an alternative methodology, feel free to follow Allison Parrish's spreadsheet bot tutorial or some of the other options on the Bot References wiki instead.
  7. (COMING SOON: notes and info on how to deploy your bot to a server if you want to run it more permanently.)
