varsity-twitter-bot
I am a bot that tweets key takeaways from Zerodha Varsity modules every 15 mins.
Development Docs
The bot resides in bot.go and can be built with go build -o bot.bin .
Deployment
The bot can be deployed by setting a cron job in your server.

It depends on the following:
.env File
A .env file or environment variables set in the shell containing the following:
CONSUMER_KEY=xxx
CONSUMER_SECRET=xxx
ACCESS_TOKEN=xxx
ACCESS_SECRET=xxx
You can use login.py with your consumer key to obtain the access token for the account you wish to tweet from.
data.txt
The format of the data.txt file is
<url of module>
<text>
.
.
<text>
Where each <text> is considered a single tweet and is the link that will be attached to the tweet.
In case the <text> is longer that max tweet length, its split into multiple tweets as a thread.
