I search twitter feed every few minutes for some hashtags focused on computational research and I retweet them for now.

Sure you can, just fork me, change some code logic or default hashtags that suits your needs and deploy it as detailed below. But, please put me only to good use.

Yes you can. Connect to mongodb and change the values in the collection config. Some of the things you can do right now are:

• Change number of tweets that I can search for each time I make API call
• Pause me by setting pause_app: true. I won't talk to twitter 😄
• Change hashtags for which I can scan twitter to find content

• I scan for some tweets with predefined hashtags
• I store them in a database to do further processing. This avoids me to make too many API calls
• I scan for some metadata and post tweets that meet predefined criteria and save both posted tweets and discarded tweets
• Posted and discarded list are used to avoid spamming content. In future I will periodically clean these databases
• Poll vs Stream: Currently I rely on polling
• Context analysis: For now I can't handle this, but you can extend me to do that

• computationalfluiddynamics
• openfoam

• tweepy
• pymongo
• mongodb

• Clone and configure the scripts

git clone https://github.com/acrlakshman/twitter-bot-computational-fluids twitter-bot
cd twitter-bot
mkdir -p logs db

• Enter API keys and ACCESS tokens in docker-compose.yml
• Enter desired credentials for mongodb admin.
• Start containers

docker-compose up -d

docker-compose down -v

Make sure to create swarm

docker swarm init
# or
docker swarm init --advertise-addr <MANAGER_NODE_IP>

git clone https://github.com/acrlakshman/twitter-bot-computational-fluids twitter-bot
cd twitter-bot
mkdir -p logs db

• Enter API keys and ACCESS tokens in docker-stack.yml
• Enter desired credentials for mongodb admin.
• Start containers

docker stack deploy -c docker-stack.yml bot

docker stack rm cfdspace_stack

• Database persists in the volume db
• App logs are stored in logs/cfdspace.log

• twitter_cfdspace_bot

• This app uses a persistent database, which keeps growing and will consume disk space. For now you need to manually perform the cleanup and keep an eye on the space used by mongodb. I will update the code to automate such that app does this automatically while it is running.
• Any changes made to the source code in app/ requires rebuilding docker image.
