rsstotwitter's Introduction

* rsstotwitter is a very simple tool to update twitter accounts from RSS feeds.
It is written in python and licensed under GPL

* Author: Luis Cañas Díaz <[email protected]>

* rsstotwitter.py default.cfg

* example of configuration file.
(the parameter include_title is optional)

  [Configuration]
  consumer_key=your_consumer_key
  consumer_secret=your_consumer_secret
  access_token_key=your_access_token_key
  access_token_secret=your_access_token_secret
  feed_url=http://libresoft.es/ourplanet/daily-planet/RSS
  include_title=Some text before the entry content here

* need help?:

rsstotwitter.py --help

* dependencies

python-twitter and its dependencies

* Problems with the authentication?

Do you see the error “Error, the message could not be posted!”? During September
2010 the twitter platform cut off the basic authentication method and now it is
mandatory to use oAuth. If that’s your case you’ll need to install the latest
version of python-twitter, see instructions below.

* Installing the last version of python-twitter 

- To install it have a look at the instructions here , I’ve tested the
a936121dfd commit (Aug 24 2010)

* Setting up the twitter access data

- Go to the url http://twitter.com/oauth_clients and register a new application.
You’ll have to create it with a name application, use your imagination
- In the previous step you get a consumer key and a consumer secret. Use them in
the python script get_access_token.py which is included in the python-twitter
code
- After executing the script get_access_token.py you’ll need to follow the
instructions shown by the script to get a pincode from twitter
- You should have now the access_token_key and the access_token_secret
parameters. Include them in the configuration file

HTTP 401 sending messages with the python-twitter API

I've read in the python-twitter issues tracket that Twitter has changed its authorization method from "username and password" to using oauth which requires a key and a secret. The python-twitter module with that feature is not stable yet and they recommend us to move to http://code.google.com/p/oauth-python-twitter/ while waiting for the new python-twitter release.
