alphabot-api-tweeter

Feel free to fork this and modify the src/tweets.ts file to format the tweets to your liking. Enjoy!

You can easily run this at render.com at the free tier

Note: Twitter's API only allows for 50 Tweets to be sent per day on the free tier

Setup Alphabot Webhook:

Install ngrok or your own local web service engine to

1. Copy .env.local.example and paste, removing .example from the file name
2. Populate the ALPHABOT_API_KEY in the new file with your value from your Alphabot profile or Team Page
3. Copy your team's ID from the end of the Team Page URL. It will look like 6259d10fd0728949c4ac0520. Paste this into the ALPHABOT_TEAM_ID value.
4. Run ngrok http 8080 in another terminal, after setting up a free ngrok account (or your choice of localhost tunneling services) to make your webhook a public URL on the internet. (Ignore this step if you're running at render.com, vercel, heroku, etc)
5. Copy the Forwarding url (should end with .ngrok-free.app - or your public url if running in the cloud) and paste it into your Webhook url in your Alphabot profile

Setup Twitter API

1. Activate the Twitter account you wish to tweet from as a Developer account at https://developer.twitter.com and set up a project + app
2. Click to the "Keys & Tokens" tab
3. You will need to populate the TWITTER_ env variables in your .env.local file with the corresponding keys from this page.

Run the app

Run yarn && yarn build && yarn start to start running the app.

You are now receiving Alphabot webhooks and sending tweets when your team's raffles are created. Congratulations!
