# TootBot
|
|
|
|
A small python 3.x script to replicate tweets on a mastodon account.
|
|
|
|
The script only need mastodon login/pass to post toots.
|
|
|
|
It gets the tweets using **twint**, then does some cleanup on the content:
|
|
- twitter tracking links (t.co) are dereferenced
|
|
- twitter hosted pictures or videos are retrieved with **yt-dlp** and uploaded to mastodon
|
|
|
|
It can also toot RSS/atom feeds (see cron-example.sh).
|
|
|
|
A sqlite database is used to keep track of tweets than have been tooted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This script is in use for a few accounts:
|
|
- osm_fr -> https://fr.osm.social/@osm_fr
|
|
- sotmfr -> https://fr.osm.social/@sotmfr
|
|
- macbidouille -> https://amicale.net/@macbidouille
|
|
- nextinpact -> https://amicale.net/@nextinpact
|
|
- opendata -> https://amicale.net/@opendata
|
|
|
|
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).
