Synthetix-Twitter-Bot

A simple Twitter Bot to stay informed about Synthetix stats.

EDIT

Added timestamps (idea came from spiyer99).
Also decided to remove the market cap to be able to keep the total value stacked
in ETH and BTC (also from spiver99).
I did keep the total value staked (ETH+BTC) converted to USD with live rates.

As proof, here's a picture from my bot Tweeter account:

Here's a link to it if you want to go and have a look for yourself: @TwitterBot2

Tutorial on how to use it

2. Make a Python venv
3. Run pip install requirement.txt in the venv you've just created
4. Create an app in your Twitter developer account (https://developer.twitter.com/en)

12. If your app is still not running for some reason, go and make sure that your worker is enabled in the Resources tab of your App
