This repository contains the code for the Twitter bot posting automatic updates on the Danish emission intensities, currently live as @co2prognoser.
To use this, get a consumer key and consumer secret from https://dev.twitter.com/. With that,
allow the app to post as a given user by authenticating with the app as that user; the simplest way
to do this is using twitter.oauth_dance, cf. the documentation.
With these at hand, fill out config.json.example and move the result to config.json.
Then, to create a Twitter update with the current emission intensities, get all dependencies and run the only available script,
pip install requests twitter
python tweet.py
Alternatively, use Docker, specifying all configuration parameters as environment variables,
docker build -t groenstroem-twitter .
docker run -e OAUTH_TOKEN=... -e OAUTH_SECRET=... -e CONSUMER_KEY=... -e CONSUMER_SECRET=... groenstroem-twitter
