# T-Hawk
Simple Twitter bot that auto likes and retweets based on a configured hashtag. Use for a special event or conference (like a [DevFest](https://devfest.withgoogle.com/)!) to help increase social engagement and awareness.
This project derives its name from a small drone (UAV) of the [same name](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeywell_RQ-16_T-Hawk) with no other affiliation or association.
## Getting Started
* Log in and create a [Twitter app](https://apps.twitter.com/)
* **NOTE:** Use the account you wish to like & retweet with (which most likely isn't your personal account)
* **NOTE:** You do not need a Callback URL for this app
* Start a new Google Apps Script project by clicking on ["Start Scripting"](https://www.google.com/script/start/)
* Copy the code from [code.gs](https://github.com/neojato/T-Hawk/blob/master/code.gs) into the new file created for you
* Enter the appropriate Twitter keys you received from your new Twitter app in lines 3-6
* Enter your hashtag on line 7 (include "-RT" to exclude retweets from being liked and retweeted)
* example: "#DevFest -RT"
* From the Apps Script menu, choose "Resources" and then "Libraries"
* In the "Add a library" field, enter the following project key to load the Twitter library:
* `11dB74uW9VLpgvy1Ax3eBZ8J7as0ZrGtx4BPw7RKK-JQXyAJHBx98pY-7`
* Click the "Add" button
* Change the "Identifier" field to `Twitter`
* Change the "Version" to `23` (or the most recent)
* Click "Save"
* Create a trigger to continually monitor the hashtag
* From the Apps Script menu, choose "Edit" and then "Current project's triggers"
* Follow instructions to add a new trigger
* Setup your trigger to match the following settings:
* hashtag_twitterBot
* Time-driven
* Hour timer
* Every hour
* Enjoy!
