# Twoot
Twoot is a python script that extracts tweets from a twitter feed and
reposts them as toots on a Mastodon account.
I started twoot when [tootbot](https://github.com/cquest/tootbot)
stopped working. Tootbot relies on rss feeds from https://twitrss.me
that broke when Twitter refreshed their web UI in July 2019.
Instead twoot is self contained and handles all the processing.
**UPDATE 05 APR 2020** VERSION 1.0. Twoot can now optionally download
videos from Twitter and upload them on Mastodon.
**UPDATE 17 MAR 2020** Added command line switch (`-r`) to also post
reply-to tweets on the mastodon account. They will not be included by
default anymore.

Twoot depends on `beautifulsoup4` and `Mastodon.py` python modules.
If you plan to use the `-v` switch to download videos, the additional depedencies are required:
**Only If you plan to download videos** with the `-v` switch, are the additional dependencies required:
