README
# SocialMediaFeed
Uses Twitter API to receive a stream of tweets from a filtered criteria and posts them to Discord as an embedded message.
# Future
Add YouTube API handling to get latest video posts
# Setup
1. Clone the repository
2. Create a .env file in the root directory and add the following:
```
BEARER_TOKEN=
WEBHOOK_URL=
USERNAME=
```
3. Download the Twitter API v2 Postman environment. Populate the environment variables with your `bearer_token`, `access_token`, `token_secret`.
4. Setup the **Add Rules** for the FilteredStream
`https://api.twitter.com/2/tweets/search/stream/rules`
```json
{
"add": [
{
"value": "from:USERNAME",
"tag": ""
}
]
}
```
**REPLACE USERNAME WITH YOUR TWITTER USERNAME**
## BEARER TOKEN
You will have to create a [Twitter Developer Account](https://developer.twitter.com/en) and create an application on your account.
Once you have an application copy the `BEARER_TOKEN` and paste it in the .env file.
## WEBHOOK URL
On your Discord server. Click the settings icon next to a text channel you want to add the webhook to, click `integrations`, `webhooks`, *new webhooks*. Then copy the webhook url and paste it in the .env file
## USERNAME
Add your twitter username to the .env file (Case sensitive).
# Run the Bot
Luckily Discord automatically formats Tweets as embedded messages in a nice and fancy layout so all we need to do is get the url of the tweet we want to post.
`https://twitter.com//status/`
`username`: is provided in .env
`tweetId`: is returned through the filteredstream
Compile the typescript by running `tsc`
Then start it up with `npm run start`
Test it out on your twitter!
