Twitter-Discord-Feed

A very simple setup of posting tweets from people onto a discord channel. May add more features later in life.

Installation

1. Install golang. Ideally you have Go version 1.13 or newer.
2. Clone the repository using git clone https://github.com/VINXIS/Twitter-Discord-Feed.git to wherever you want.
3. Go to the folder and open a console. Install the dependencies with go get.
4. Go to the config folder and duplicate config.example.json. Name the duplicate config.json and fill in the twitter API credentials, and discord information
   1. You can obtain twitter API credentials here.
   2. For the discord information. You add the discord bot token which is obtained from creating a discord bot here. Put the username as anything you want, preferably your bot's username, and put the avatar field to some image link, preferably the same image as your discord bot's.
5. Invite the bot to your server by replacing PUT_CLIENT_ID_HERE in the URL below with the discord application's client ID obtained here here. https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=PUT_CLIENT_ID_HERE&permissions=536870912&scope=bot.
6. The bot by default NEEDS webhook manage permissions for the channel you want to follow twitter users on. The bot invite link above already does that for you, but if you would like to not have it create a role, replace 536870912 with 0, and give the bot webhook manage permissions however you want to.
7. Run the program by running go build -o twitter core.go and then ./twitter in your instance / computer.
8. Once running, type and send ~help to a discord channel the bot is in for explanation regarding how to follow and unfollow twitter accounts
