Liri (Node.js App)

How it works

Liri can take in one of the following commands:

1. my-tweets

• This will show the last 20 tweets of the Twitter API Key owner's account and when they were created at in the terminal/bash window.
• You will need to create a Twitter app and obtain the consumer_key, consumer_secret, access_token_key & access_token_secret.

2. spotify-this-song + name of the song

• This will show the following information about the song in the terminal/bash window:
  • Artist(s)
  • The song's name
  • A preview link of the song from Spotify
  • The album that the song is from
  • If no song is provided then a default song will be shown: "The Sign" by Ace of Base.
• You will need to create a Spotify app and obtain the spotify id and secret keys.

3. movie-this + name of the movie

• This will output the following information in the terminal/bash window:
  • Title of the movie.
  • Year the movie came out.
  • IMDB Rating of the movie.
  • Rotten Tomatoes Rating of the movie.
  • Country where the movie was produced.
  • Language of the movie.
  • Plot of the movie.
  • Actors in the movie.
  • If no movie is provided then a default movie will be shown: "Mr. Nobody".
• You will need an OMDB API Key.

4. do-what-it-says

• This will take a line of text inside of random.txt and then use it to call one of LIRI's commands.
• Text inside random.txt must be properly structured for this to work:
  • liriCommand,searchTerm - for example, movie-this,"Me, Myself and Irene" or my-tweets. There must be a comma and no space between the command and the search term.
  • Each liriCommand,searchTerm pair (or only liriCommand) must be entered as new lines.
