# Bitcoin Twitter & BlueSky Bot
A Node.js application that posts the latest Bitcoin price, market cap, volume updates, and other financial data on both Twitter and BlueSky. It integrates with the [Twitter API v2](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api) and the [Bluesky API](https://bsky.app). The application is deployed on AWS, using various AWS services to automate and manage tasks.
## AWS Services Used
- **AWS Lambda**: The core logic of the application runs as a serverless function in AWS Lambda, handling the process of fetching data, generating content, and posting to Twitter and BlueSky.
- **AWS S3**: Used to store and manage images, such as screenshots or charts that are posted along with updates.
- **AWS EventBridge**: Schedules cron jobs to trigger the Lambda function at specific intervals, automating the posts without manual intervention.
## Additional Tools
- **@sparticuz/chromium**: A headless version of Chromium optimized for Lambda, used to take screenshots and scrape information from websites. This is useful for gathering external data and generating visuals for the posts.
- **Puppeteer**: Used in conjunction with Chromium to automate the process of interacting with websites and collecting data via scraping.
## Prerequisites
Before running the application, you need to set up accounts and credentials for both Twitter and BlueSky:
### Twitter Setup
1. Set up a Twitter developer account.
2. Create a new Twitter app.
3. Obtain the following credentials:
- **APP_KEY**: Your Twitter app's API key
- **APP_SECRET**: Your Twitter app's API secret key
- **ACCESS_TOKEN**: Your Twitter account's access token
- **ACCESS_SECRET**: Your Twitter account's access token secret
### BlueSky Setup
1. Create a BlueSky account.
2. Obtain your BlueSky handle and password.
- **BLUESKY_APP_USERNAME**: Your BlueSky handle
- **BLUESKY_APP_PASSWORD**: Your BlueSky password
You will also need Node.js installed, along with the following packages:
## Dependencies
The following packages are required to run the application:
- **@atproto/api**: Used to interact with the BlueSky API for posting updates.
- **@aws-sdk/client-s3**: AWS SDK for uploading and managing files in Amazon S3.
- **@aws-sdk/lib-storage**: Provides utility methods for managing storage in AWS, used for handling uploads to S3.
- **@aws-sdk/s3-request-presigner**: Helps generate presigned URLs for securely uploading to Amazon S3.
- **@sparticuz/chromium**: A version of Chromium optimized for use in AWS Lambda environments, used for generating screenshots or headless browsing tasks.
- **axios**: Promise-based HTTP client used for making API requests (e.g., to CoinGecko for price data).
- **dotenv**: Loads environment variables from a `.env` file to manage sensitive information.
- **puppeteer-core**: A headless browser tool for generating screenshots or automating web interactions.
- **twitter-api-v2**: A wrapper for the Twitter API, used to post updates on Twitter.
## Environment Variables
Create a `.env` file in the root directory of the project and add your Twitter and BlueSky API credentials, along with other necessary environment variables.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/gabireze/bitcoin-twitter-bot.git
```
2. Install the required packages:
```bash
cd bitcoin-twitter-bot
npm install
```
3. Create a **.env** file in the root directory of the project and add your Twitter and BlueSky API credentials:
```
APP_KEY=your-app-key
APP_SECRET=your-app-secret
ACCESS_TOKEN=your-access-token
ACCESS_SECRET=your-access-token-secret
BLUESKY_APP_USERNAME=your_bluesky_handle

BITCOIN_MONTHLY_RETURNS_IMAGE_PATH=bitcoinMonthlyReturns.png
BITCOIN_MONTHLY_RETURNS_IMAGE_KEY=bitcoinMonthlyReturns.png
```
4. Run the application:
```bash
npm start
```
The application will fetch the latest Bitcoin price data from the [CoinGecko API](https://docs.coingecko.com/v3.0.1/reference/introduction), format the data into a tweet, and post it on both Twitter and BlueSky using your account's credentials.
## Customization
You can customize the application by changing the following variables in the **index.mjs** file:
- **CURRENCY**: the currency in which to display the price and market cap information (default: **"usd"**)
- **COIN_ID**: the CoinGecko ID of the cryptocurrency to track (default: **"bitcoin"**)
- **DAYS**: the number of days of historical data to retrieve from the CoinGecko API (default: **1**)
You can also modify the tweet message by editing the **getPriceData** function in the index.mjs file.
