# Usage

1.  [Create a twitter app](https://apps.twitter.com)

2.  [Create a telegram bot](https://core.telegram.org/bots#3-how-do-i-create-a-bot)

3.  Keyswords go inside `main.js` as the parameters `playersKeywords`, `coachesKeywords`, `mvpsKeywords`,`teamsKeywords`, `draftKeywords` and `wordsKeywords`.  

    Each keyword list is a `Promise`d array of strings.  

    Keywords are case-insensitive.

4.  Blacklist entries go inside `main.js` as the parameter `blacklistPromise`.  

    The blacklist parameter is a `Promise`d array of Objects.  

    Each Object is of the form `{ is_accepted_because: "Hawks",blacklist: "Black Hawks"}`.

    This means that if the bot will find `Hawks` as a keyword but also `Black Hawks`, then it won't consider `Hawks` as a keyword for this tweet.

    Blacklist Keywords are case-insensitive.

5.  Create `secrets.txt` for API keys.

```

telegram_chat_id=

telegram_bot_key=

twitter_consumer_key=

twitter_consumer_secret=

twitter_access_token_key=

twitter_access_token_secret=

ocr_space_api_key=

```

6.  Create a new https://webtask.io webtask.

```bash

wt create --name  --secrets-file secrets.txt main.js

```

(npm modules will be added automatically because of the `package.json` file.)

7.  On https://ifttt.com create an applet from https://ifttt.com/create/if-new-tweet-by-a-specific-user?sid=2 to https://ifttt.com/create/if-new-tweet-by-a-specific-user-then-make-a-web-request?sid=6.

    On the webhook url give your webtask url and append `?tweet_url={{LinkToTweet}}`

# Deploy updates

`wt update  main.js`

# Test & Debug

Create the file `config_test.json` along side `main.js`

```json

{

  "telegram": {

    "chat_id": "",

    "bot_key": ""

  },

  "twitter": {

    "consumer_key": "",

    "consumer_secret": "",

    "access_token_key": "",

    "access_token_secret": ""

  },

  "ocr_space_api_key": ""

}

```
