Installation

The easiest way to install is:

pip install yatcobot

See more at Installation

Configuration

Before starting you must get api keys from twitter. You can get these keys from here. (See more at How to get twitter api keys)

You must create a config named config.yaml and must at least set the api keys. A minimal config.yaml is

twitter:
    consumer_key: your_consumer_key
    consumer_secret: your_consumer_secret
    access_token_key: your_access_token
    access_token_secret: your_access_token_secret

You can edit config.sample.yaml that is placed in the root of the project (dont forget to rename it to config.yaml) or view the sample on github

Config file is loaded automatically from specific paths. The paths that are searched for config.yaml are (from highest priority to lowest):

1. ./config.yaml

   Search for config in the current working directory

2. ~/.config/Yatcobot/config.yaml

   Search in config folder. If for example your username is user the full path will be /home/user/.config/Yatcobot/config.yaml

3. default

   The default config that is packaged with the bot.

Also you can define another config with the --config argument, which will have the highest priority

Higher priority configs override settings that are defined in the lower. So in your config you only need to define the changes. (See more at Configuration documentation)

Run

In the directory where your config.yaml run:

yatcobot

Or you can specify the path of config with:

yatcobot --config=/path/to/config.yaml

Now just wait for all the free gifts!
