hiptweets
Print tweets matching specific search terms to a HipChat room
Designed to run on Heroku for free.
Configuration
Locally you copy config.sample.yml to config.yml and fill things in.
On Heroku, set the following ENV vars:
- TWITTER_ACCESS_KEY
- TWITTER_SECRET_KEY
- TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY
- TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET
- HIPCHAT_API_TOKEN
- HIPCHAT_ROOM
And what you actually want to search for:
- HIPTWEET_SEARCH -- comma-delimited string like vhx,foo,bar
- HIPTWEET_USER_IDS -- comma-delimited string of Twitter user IDs via @username -> id lookup tool
e.g.
heroku config:add TWITTER_ACCESS_KEY="" TWITTER_SECRET_KEY="" TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY="" TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=""
heroku config:add HIPCHAT_API_TOKEN="" HIPCHAT_ROOM=""
heroku config:add HIPTWEET_SEARCH="vhx.tv,foobar"
heroku config:add HIPTWEET_USER_IDS="1234583,9876522"
HipChat room can be either name or ID
Running locally
bundle install
bundle exec rake twitter:stream
Or how it's run on Heroku, to test the Procfile:
gem install heroku
foreman start
Running on Heroku
heroku create hiptweets-jamiew --stack=cedar
heroku config:add TWITTER_ACCESS_KEY="" TWITTER_SECRET_KEY="" TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY="" TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=""
heroku config:add HIPCHAT_API_TOKEN="" HIPCHAT_ROOM=""
heroku config:add HIPTWEET_SEARCH="vhx.tv,foobar"
heroku config:add HIPTWEET_USER_IDS="1234583,9876522"
git push heroku master
heroku scale stream=1
You can use heroku logs -t to watch output
Notes
- TwitterSearch is a work-in-progress
- Request: a node.js version that runs inside Hubot, and also responds to "@hubot search twitter 'my string'"
