automate the weekly tweet #3097
Conversation
Stalled because: - Don't have perms to write using the existing Twitter apps. - Both gratipay and gratipay-dev apps are linked to @whit537 instead of @gratipay. See #3094 for moving them. - Can't create an app on @gratipay because we don't have a mobile phone number attached. - Can't attach my mobile because it's already attached to @whit537. - Don't want to detach my mobile from @whit537, because then will our Twitter integration stop working? Will it stop working if/when they respond to our support request on #3094?

API for tweeting is here: |
|
But it looks like we can't pin the tweet programmatically. :-/ https://twittercommunity.com/t/pin-a-tweet-with-the-twitter-api/13048 |
|
Yes, that might need to stay manual. |
|
If it isn't posible through API to pin tweet then, we can always bypass this writing script to pin tweet through CasperJS or something similar. |
|
I'll see about using this during payday this week. We don't need to wait for tweet pinning before we land this. |
Additional confirmation that you're posting as the right account.

I'm getting a 403 with the latest commit and creds from a test app I made. |
|
This might be more trouble than it's worth in terms of effort integrating with the Twitter API. |
|
There is no more weekly tweet. |
|
Will it be re-instated? Why (or why not)? |
|
@tshepang I believe we shouldn't reinstate it, but we should talk about that. Reticketed as gratipay/inside.gratipay.com#236. |
Every week during payday we send out a tweet like this:
https://twitter.com/Gratipay/status/553248050957664257
We want to automate that.
