SpursGifs_xposterbot

====================

Reddit bot I started writing while sitting bored in a hotel room for x-posting gifs/vines/gyfcats from /r/coys to /r/SpursGifs.

### Basic flow

- Runs on Heroku, using the free scheduler. Checking once/hour for now.

- Xposts to /r/SpursGifs (converts to gfycat first if it's a gif or vine)

- Comments on the new post giving credit to the OP

- Comments on the original post linking the x-posted submission

### TODO

* ~~Use a DB on heroku for caching there (local pickle file doesn't persist between runs)~~ Done!

* ~~Convert gifs to gfycat~~ Done!

* ~~Cache previously gfycat'd urls.~~ Done!

* ~~Use gfycat's API for checking to see if a gif was already converted. Minor, and I think their API already does this server-side~~ Not necessary, they handle this already internally.

* ~~Convert Vine videos to gfycat (for consistency/convenience)~~ Done!
