## Happy Birthday Donald!

It's President* Trump's birthday on 6/14/2020. 

Let's all wish him well by tweeting a Happy Birthday message every 5 minutes!

Each tweet will have a picture of President Barack Obama attached. 

(1 of 100,000 pictures selected at random)

## Setup

In order to use this app, you'll need [node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) and a 

[Twitter developer account](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/getting-started).

Create an [application](https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps) in your twitter developer account.

From the **Keys and tokens** tab of your app's details page, create an `Access token` and 

`Access token secret` to go along with the auto-generated `Consumer API keys`.

**NOTE**: You need to save the access token and the access token secret values as Twitter only

shows them once to you.

run `npm install` to install the required node.js libraries.

## Running

Execute the following:

```

API_KEY= \

API_SECRET_KEY= \

ACCESS_TOKEN= \

ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET= \

MESSAGE='Happy Birthday!' \

TO_HANDLE=@realdonaldtrump \

INTERVAL= \

TMP_PATH=/tmp/img.jpg \

node hbd.js

```

**NOTE:** `TMP_PATH` is where downloaded image files are stored temporarily.

You should see output like this:

```
