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:

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).
