twitter-media-clip-bot

A Twitter bot used for making clips out of randomly selected media.

Requirements!!!

• npm & Node.JS (It's what the bot runs on, duh)
• ffmpeg (For encoding/making clips)
• A collection of media for the bot to use
• Access to the Twitter API (aka having a Twitter Application for your account) (Free or not)
• A brain or two (Just read the instructions below, one by one)

How to work.

1. Clone the repo - git clone https://github.com/ktg5/twitter-mediatoclip-bot
2. Place the media you'd like the bot to use into the media folder, then delete the _EPISODES GO HERE, file as it isn't needed.

• Note: There can be ANY amount of videos in the media folder, as the bot reads all files inside the folder and selects a random one to be cliped.
  • BUT: This also means any file that isn't a video will also be read by the bot, so DON'T ADD ANYTHING INTO THE media FOLDER THAT ISN'T A VIDEO!!!

3. Install required packages. - npm i
4. Open auth.json and replace all the listed keys (api & access) with your own, also make sure to set the Twitter username and video file format in config.json.

• ⚠⚠ Remember to make sure your access keys are "Created with Read, and Write permissions" by enabling "User authentication" in your Twitter app's page and remaking the access token & secret!

5. Start the bot. - npm start
