Experiment with bots and fedmsg

BadgeBot

A twitter bot that retweets your Fedora Badges!

Try it out

To try it out, first install the dependencies:

$ yum install tweepy fedmsg python-fedmsg-meta-fedora-infrastructure

Then, copy fedmsg.d/twitter-secrets.py.example to fedmsg.d/twitter-secrets.py. Open it in your editor:

config = dict(
    consumer_key        = "abcdefg12345678",
    consumer_secret     = "abcdefg12345678",
    access_token_key    = "abcdefg12345678",
    access_token_secret = "abcdefg12345678",
)

You'll need to visit https://dev.twitter.com and create an 'application' in order to get these api keys.

Also, take a look at fedmsg.d/badgebot-basics.py:

config = dict(

    # Only tweet fedmsg messages with this in the topic
    badgebot_topic_filter='fedbadges',

    # Only tweet fedmsg messages that have to do with this person.
    # If it is the None value, then just tweet about everyone.
    badgebot_fas_username=None, # 'ralph',
)

Finally, run the script:

$ python badgebot.py

Systemd

You can run it under systemd for 24hour badge twittification! Check out install.sh:

$ sudo ./install.sh && sudo journalctl -u badgebot --follow
+ cp badgebot.py /usr/local/bin/badgebot.py
+ cp /home/threebean/devel/badgebot/badgebot.service /usr/lib/systemd/system/badgebot.service
+ cp fedmsg.d/badgebot-basics.py fedmsg.d/twitter-secrets.py /etc/fedmsg.d/.
+ systemctl daemon-reload
+ systemctl restart badgebot
