# twitter-image-bot
A bot for Twitter that will post a random image from a local folder and will not repeat images until all images have been posted.

# How to Setup
1. Install [Node.Js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
2. ```cd``` to the extracted twitter-image-bot folder you downloaded
3. Install node with ```npm install```
4. Edit ```config.js``` and add your Twitter developer credentials which you can get [here](https://developer.twitter.com/en/portal/dashboard)
5. In ```server.js``` edit ```var post_delay =``` to how many ms you want between posts.
6. Start by running ```node server.js```

- If you wish to caption the images with text, you can edit ```metadata.json``` for curated text or edit `status:` in server.js for the same text on every post (ex: `status: 'a new post!',`)

# How it works
After the post delay, the bot will look at ```images1``` pick a random image and post it to Twitter.

After posting the image, it will move that image into ```images2``` so that it will not be picked again.

After ```images1``` folder is exausted a ```.bookmark``` file will be created in ```images2```

The bot will look at ```images2``` to pick a random image to post to Twitter as long as the ```.bookmark``` file exists.

After posting an image from ```images2``` it will move the image to ```images1``` so it is not picked again.

Once ```images2``` is exausted of images, the ```.bookmark``` file will be deleted, thus the bot will look to ```images1``` again for images to post to Twitter.

# Hopes for the future
Video files will crash the bot currently. I hope I can use the bot to post video files in the future.
