# Pull request birthday bot

A twitter bot that wishes pull requests happy birthday if they're still open N years after they were created.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisities

[You should have Python 2 and pip installed on your system](http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/).

Install the dependencies with `pip install requirements.txt`

### Setup

To set up on a local machine for development/testing:

1. [Set up an app](http://blog.mollywhite.net/twitter-bots-pt2/) for your twitter developer account.

2. Set `TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY` and `TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET` environment variables using the keys twitter gives you. E.g. run `export TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=blablabla` in your shell.

3. Grant the app access to your twitter account. There's a button for this in the twitter settings. To grant access to a different account you can hack `birthdaybot.py` to run the `fetch_twitter_access_token` function.

4. Set `TWITTER_ACCESS_KEY` and `TWITTER_ACCESS_SECRET` environment variables with the values from step 3.

5. Run `python birthdaybot/birthdaybot.py`

## Deployment

First [create a heroku app and push the repo to heroku](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python#introduction). It will complain about a missing Procfile but it's not needed.

The rest you can do either through the heroku web interface or the cli:

* [set the four twitter environment variables described above](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python#define-config-vars)

* [add the heroku scheduler plugin to the app](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/scheduler)

* add a job to the scheduler plugin. It should run `./bin/birthdaybot.py`

## Contributing

* Feel free to raise PRs and issues

* I will try and respond to things within a year

* Check the PRs the bot tweets about and see if you can get one resolved
