SpritBot - Twitter Bot

 

DISCONTINUED since Elon wants to charge devs 100$/month for using the twitter api

 

To gain some experience with Python, I decided to write a simple Twitter bot. The bot tweets several times a day the fuel prices in Germany.I use the Tweepy library to access the Twitter API. To make sure that the tweets are sent at a certain time every day, I used the Schedule library…. At the beginning I had some difficulties with it, but in the meantime I managed it. Surely there are more efficient and better methods to schedule the tweets. Furthermore, I plan to use the TankerKönig API to tweet the prices of individual gas stations. You can find the Bot at @SpritBot on Twitter!

Planned Features

  • Answering to Tweets
  • Are you online? – Feature
  • Tweeting the prices for a single Gas-Stations if a user asks for
