npm install node-twitter-bot
The easiest way to install node-twitter-bot is with npm
``sh`
npm install node-twitter-bot
Alternately, download the source.
`sh`
git clone https://github.com/nikolenkoanton92/node-twitter-bot.git
* follow users by tweet
* follow user by specified user
* unfollow users
You will also need to create an app account on https://dev.twitter.com/apps
* Sign in with your Twitter account
* Create a new app account
* Modify the settings for that app account to allow read & write
* Generate a new OAuth token with those permissions
Following these steps will create 4 tokens that you will need to place in the configuration file discussed below.
` consumerKey ` , `consumerSecret ` , ` accessToken ` , ` accessTokenSecret ` are your API keys that you received from creating your app account.
`javascript
var NodeTwitterBot = require('node-twitter-bot');
var nodeTwitterBot = new NodeTwitterBot({
consumerKey : 'Your Consumer Key',
consumerSecret : 'Your consumer Secret',
accessToken : 'Your access Token',
accessTokenSecret : 'Your access Token Secret'
});
`
This API should work exactly the same in node. Open an issue if this is not the case.
