Pipitor

A Twitter bot that gathers Tweets from a specified set of accounts, filters and Retweets them.

Features

• Pipitor uses the POST statuses/filter API. It can get the Tweets in realtime without worrying being rate limited.
• Pipitor optionally supports getting past Tweets from a list, so it can even retrieve Tweets posted while it was suspended.

Usage

Download the latest binary package for your platform from the releases page and install it to a directory of your choice.

Or alternatively, you can manually build the project from the source (requires Nightly Rust):

shell cargo install pipitor

After the installation, create a manifest file named Pipitor.toml in the working directory. Manifest format is shown in Pipitor.example.toml.

Then, run the following, and follow the instructions on the command line:

shell pipitor setup

Now, you're all set! Run the following to start the bot:

shell pipitor run
