When people post ignorant tweets about immigration, this bot replies with a rant about the moral responsibility we all have to welcome refugees. All in Swedish.
Whenever anyone tweets a tweet containing a certain trigger word or phrase, invandringsbot will reply with a rant.
In this specific, original implementation of invandringsbot, the trigger word is "massinvandring" (Swedish for "mass immigration") and the rant is about the moral responsibility we have to welcome refugees (also in Swedish). However, the trigger word can be anything, as can the rant be.
It's not only Swedes who are in need of a rant about our moral responsibilities. Make the world a better place by translating invandringsbot!
It's simple to do.
- Fork this repository.
- Rename the
apikeys_template.pyfile toapikeys.py, and add your Twitter API keys as obtained from apps.twitter.com. - Open the
setup.pyfile. Fill in your trigger word, rant, and the Twitter handle of the bot. - Finished setup! Now, start invandringsbot by calling
python3 mainbot.py, when in the correct directory in your terminal.
Using python 3. Has not been tested on python 2, but should work with minor optimizations.
- Twython. Used for all contact with the Twitter API.
