# TootBot
2018-02-09 14:46:32 +00:00
A small python 3.x script to replicate tweets on a mastodon account.
2017-05-29 21:03:17 +00:00
The script only need mastodon login/pass to post toots.
It gets the tweets from RSS available at http://twitrss.me, then does some cleanup on the content:
- twitter tracking links (t.co) are dereferenced
- twitter hosted pictures are retrieved and uploaded to mastodon

It can also toot RSS/atom feeds (see cron-example.sh).
2017-05-29 21:03:17 +00:00
A sqlite database is used to keep track of tweets than have been tooted.
This script is in use for a few accounts:

2017-05-29 21:03:17 +00:00
- Etalab -> https://mastodon.etalab.gouv.fr/@etalab
- datagouvfr -> https://mastodon.etalab.gouv.fr/@datagouvfr
- osm_fr -> https://fr.osm.social/@osm_fr
- sotmfr -> https://fr.osm.social/@sotmfr
The script is simply called by a cron job and can run on any server (does not have to be on the mastodon instance server).
