twitter-monitor v1.0.0

Twitter Monitor

Monitor your favorite twitter accounts easily, with discord webhook integration!

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.

Prerequisites

You will need to have nodejs installed in order to run. You will also need npm but this is installed with nodejs.

Installing

First you will clone or download this repository, then open your favorite text editor, mine is vscode. Then open up the console and do the following command.

npm install

Now you will need to add your twitter api keys that you can get here by filling out the twitter developer application. You will also need to get the webhook url for the discord channel you desire, you can find directions to do that here!

Running the tests

Try running it now with this simple command inside the console.

npm start

Deployment

If you would like to run this 24/7 off your personal machine I would reccomend using the free credit given with google cloud, and create a server. You can make sure it runs all the time with a npm package named PM2 which will restart if errors or crashes happen.
