#TwitterBot for Node.JS

As simple as it can get, Twitterbot is a quick and easy module

to post tweets to your profile using NodeJS. If that's all you need

then hopefully it helps you get up and running!

Requires [node-oauth](https://github.com/ciaranj/node-oauth) to run.

##Posting to your Account

To post a tweet to your bot's profile:

    

    var twitterbot = require('./lib/bot.js');

    

    var bot = twitterbot.create({

        key:'KEY',

    	key_secret:'SECRET',

    	token_key:'USERKEY',

    	token_secret:'USERSECRET'

    });

    bot.post("Hello World");

    

Easy, right? You'll have to fill in the authentication details to match your Twitter app and

account of course. You can include `post` as a parameter to post straight away too:

    require('./lib/bot.js').create({

        post: "Hello World",

        key: 'KEY', key_secret: 'SECRET',

        token_key:'USERKEY', token_secret:'USERSECRET'

    });

    

##Getting Mentions of your Account

    bot.mentions(40, function(err, response) {

        if (err) {console.log(err); return;}

        for (var i = 0, l = response.length; i < l; i++) {

    		console.log('[MENTION] '+response[i].text);

    	}

    });

    

The above code will retrieve the 40 most recent mentions of your bot, and print their text to

the console. There's a lot more data in that response object for you to play around with

but that's the simplest approach.
