This is impractical if orchestrating multiple bots in conjunction with one another.\n\n## How to Use\nYour bot army awaits! Let's walk through it.\n\n### Setup Dependencies\nYou will need just a couple things:\n1. Node and NPM\n2. A Twitter developer account\n\n### Instance Setup\n1. After cloning the repo, run `npm install`\n2. Now add a `.env` file in the repository and fill in your application consumer keys like so:\n```env\nTWITTER_APP_CONSUMER_KEY=your_key_here\nTWITTER_APP_CONSUMER_SECRET=your_secret_here\n```\n\n**REMEMBER: Never check your keys into git!** You can get your keys from https://developer.twitter.com/.\n\n3. Set up three-legged OAuth in your Twitter app and set the expected callback url to match your route in the server; by default it's `http://localhost:8080/sessions/callback`\n\n### Running the 'Auth-er'\nMake sure you've completed the steps in [Instance Setup](#instance-setup). You're now ready to authenticate some bots!\n\n1. Start the server locally by running `npm start`\n2. Log into your bot's twitter account and then navigate to `localhost:8080`\n3. You'll be directed back to Twitter's authorization page; hit 'Authorize' to retrieve keys to that account.\n4. The application's `/home` route will display the keys for your currently logged in Twitter account.\n5. Navigate to `/` and hit 'Reset Session' before repeating the process with a new bot.\n\nQuestions? Go ahead and [open an issue!](https://github.com/thomasmost/bot_auther/issues/new)\n\nHappy automating!\n\n## Credits\n\nMajor thanks go to [Juan González](https://gist.github.com/JuanJo4) for the original OAuth implementation in Express. This tool ports his work to Koa and adds a basic interface, documentation, and security recommendations.\n\nHere's the original gist this was based on: https://gist.github.com/JuanJo4/e408d9349b403523aeb00f262900e768\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthomasmost%2Fbot_auther","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fthomasmost%2Fbot_auther","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fthomasmost%2Fbot_auther/lists"}
