tooter
Send a toot (publish a post) to Mastodon from the command line.
This small script is adapted from this blog post from Terence Eden.
Usage
First create a virtual environment and install the required python packages:
python3 -m venv venv
pip install -r requirements.txt
Next, add your Mastodon 'access token' (available from the Mastodon "Development" section of your account) to a file called token.secret in the same directory as the script.
Once the token is available, you can run tooter as follows:
./tooter <MESSAGE TEXT>
For example:
./tooter "this is my message"
And it will post the meesage to your Mastodon account.
