tweet.sh's Introduction

tweet.sh, a Twitter client written in simple Bash script

A one-file bash script Twitter Client (depending on some helper commands). This project is mainly started to demonstrating my shell scripting skills, so only limited features of Twitter APIs are supported.

Setup

You need to prepare API keys at first. Go to the front page, create a new app, and generate a new access token.

Then put them as a key file at ~/.tweet.client.key, with the format:

MY_SCREEN_NAME=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
MY_LANGUAGE=xx
CONSUMER_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CONSUMER_SECRET=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ACCESS_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If there is a key file named tweet.client.key or .tweet.client.key in the current directory, tweet.sh will load it. Otherwise, the file ~/.tweet.client.key will be used as the default key file.

Moreover, you can give those information via environment variables without a key file.

$ export MY_SCREEN_NAME=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
$ export MY_LANGUAGE=xx
$ export CONSUMER_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
$ export CONSUMER_SECRET=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
$ export ACCESS_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
$ export ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
$ ./tweet.sh post "Hello!"

This form will be useful to implement a bot program.

And, this script uses some external commands. You need to install them via package system on your environment: apt, yum or something. Required commands are:

curl
jq
nkf
openssl

This script is mainly designed to be a client library to implement Twitter bot program, instead for daily human use. For most cases this script reports response JSONs of Twitter's APIs via the standard output. See descriptions of each JSON: a tweet, an event, and other responses also.

Some commands require URL of a tweet, and they accept shortened URLs like http://t.co/***. Such URLs are automatically resolved as actual URLs like https://twitter.com/***/status/***. The detectipn pattern for such shortened URLs is defined as URL_REDIRECTORS in the script, and it must be updated for new services.

Reading existing tweets

`fetch` (`get`, `show`): fetches a JSON string of a tweet

Parameters
- 1st argument: the ID or the URL of the tweet.
Standard output

$ ./tweet.sh get 0123456789
$ ./tweet.sh show 0123456789

`search`: searches tweets with queries.

Parameters
- -q: queries. If you specify no query, then you'll see sample tweets as results.

$ ./tweet.sh fetch-posts -u screen_name -c 10 -s 0123456789

Streaming

Basically this command provides ability to get search result based on the given query.

If you want to observe new tweets matched to the query continuously, specify a callback command line as the handler via the -h option.

$ ./tweet.sh search -q "queries" -h "echo 'FOUND'; cat"

In this case, only -q and -h options are available. The script doesn't exit automatically if you specify the -h option. To stop the process, you need to send the SIGINT signal via Ctrl-C or something.

`type`: detects the type of the given input.

Parameters
- The standard input: a JSON string of a tweet.
- -k: comma-separated list of keywords which are used for "search".
Standard output

Example

$ ./tweet.sh language
en
$ ./tweet.sh lang

$ ./tweet.sh post -l A tweet with location
$ cat body.txt | ./tweet.sh post

All rest arguments following to the command name are posted as a tweet. If you include a user's screen name manually in the body, it will become a mention (not a reply).

`reply`: replies to an existing tweet.

Parameters
- -i: path to an image file. You can specify this multiple times. (optional)

Standard output
- A JSON string of the uplaod result.
Example
```
$ ./tweet.sh upload /path/to/file.png

tweet.sh's Issues

Can I upload an image with text?

Hi,

Is possible to upload an image and some text together?

Thanks in advance!

Images not being tweeted

First off, this is a great little application/script.

I'm having an issue with uploading images. When I run "tweet.sh upload image.png", I get a json string returned to me as if things worked but nothing is being tweeted out to the actual account. Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks!

Just wanted to say thank you for this very useful repo. Used it to tweet updates on a web page that updates only once a month. Much appreciated!

{"errors":[{"code":32,"message":"Could not authenticate you."}]}

Hi! I'm testing the script out. When doing a simple ./tweet.sh fetch I get the error of the subject.

This is my ~/.tweet.client.key file:

MY_SCREEN_NAME=Gabrielxxxxx
MY_LANGUAGE=es_AR
CONSUMER_KEY=dwHaZxxxx
CONSUMER_SECRET=rvuXcxxxxx
ACCESS_TOKEN=11268612-ASuxxxxx
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=mmQEU61xxxxx

Any tip is welcomed!

Thanks!

Could not authenticate you for some commands

I just installed it in FreeBSD and I can run

% tweet.sh fetch-favorites

succesfully, but I get:

% tweet.sh fetch
{"errors":[{"code":32,"message":"Could not authenticate you."}]}

Posting tweets also work.

Any ideas where I should look for errors? Is the authentication API different depending on the command?

Expected behaviour of watch-mentions

When I run ./tweet.sh watch -d "echo 'DM'; cat" I get results which are not related to me. They are related to people I'm connected with but these are replies and tweets which are in no way my DMs .

What is the expected behaviour of the command, with or without parameters.
Is the -k parameter a mandatory one?

Need automated test

tweet problem

works great!!!

/tweet.sh: illegal option -- s jq: error (at <stdin>:1): Cannot iterate over null (null)

it worked few minutes, then i get this error:

tweet_mode=extended

Excellent command line client, thank you.

Where would I add the ability to fetch the extended tweet?

Twitter's API says to add tweet_mode=extended into the call but I'm struggling a bit to figure out where to add this in your code.

Support uploading video files

I can upload a photo with text, but I am not able to do the same to upload a video with text

any ideas?

Thanks

./tweet.sh tw -m 919166902479581184 hello : "Could not authenticate you."

 mark@work:~/tweet.sh$ ./tweet.sh tw -m 919166902479581184 hello
 {"errors":[{"code":32,"message":"Could not authenticate you."}]}

:-)

Is it possible to use tweet.sh to retweet all tweets with a specific keyword?

Twitter API v2 ?

Seems like a great utility!
But unfortunately no longer works, since twitter now only support API v2 for the "lower tear" API access levels.

Any chance that this could be updated to work with API v2?

FATAL ERROR: A required command "nkf" is missing.

Hi,

Trying to post "hello". Result:

FATAL ERROR: A required command "nkf" is missing.

Anyone knows how to fix this?

multi language tweet fail

i try to tweet a file with the following content

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ
الَّذِي أَطْعَمَهُمْ مِنْ جُوعٍ وَآمَنَهُمْ مِنْ خَوْفٍ

it tweets only English characters well and when i try in Arabic i get the error above

how to tweet with a newline

I have a txt file named "a.txt"

cat a.txt

line 1
line 2

when I do ./tweet.sh post (cat a.txt) the tweet is:

line 1 line 2

Is there anyway to tweet using newlines?
Thanks!

Add new "get" or "fetch" command

There is no command to get raw JSON string of a tweet. It is required by piroor/tweetbot.sh#2

Tweeting uploaded media fails

./tweet.sh tw -m 1197452904204001280,1197452909031628803,1197452915402854400 My Photos!

Gives

{"errors":[{"code":32,"message":"Could not authenticate you."}]}

Nothing wrong with auth as I can do a simple tweet like

tweet.sh post Test Message Ignore

and I can of course upload the images without issues.

Putting the IDS and a Message together is failing though.

More than two key pairs?

CONSUMER_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CONSUMER_SECRET=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ACCESS_TOKEN=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Which one of these pairs are API Key and API Key Secret that Twitter just gave?

And the other, how to find?

Twitter also generated a Bearer Token.

And how to login the screen name account?

Support posting images with no caption

Using a command in the form tweet.sh tw -i image.png Hello world will successfully post the image and caption, but tweet.sh tw -i image.png causes the script to hang indefinitely for me, when I would expect it to post the image with no caption. It also hangs when sending a space, like " ".

It seems like the problem can be solved by not putting the word status in the params variable in post() if there are no more params to follow status. Images seem to work with or without captions by including the word status in posting_body():

posting_body() {
  if [ "$*" != '' ]; then
    echo -n -e "status $*" | sed -E -e 's/$/\\n/' | paste -s -d '\0' -
  fi
}

and removing the word status from post():

$(posting_body $*)

That way, the word status is not sent if there is no status/caption.
But I'm not a shell expert so I don't know if this snippet would cause other problems.

Thanks!

If you thought this issue a spam, you can just ignore this; thought you could learn things from the repository.

Deleteing DMs

Hi More of a feature request , If you are still looking at this , it would be nice to have teh option to delete DMs in the same way as deleting tweets

Ian

Great script by the way.

"curl option --form is badly used" when uploading image

Hi,

I've been playing around with your script and it seems to be the most well documented and comprehensive twitter scripts around. I have been able to successfully send text tweets, however I am struggling to get image uploads to work. My understanding from the example is that I am supposed to first upload the image, then use the media ID in the JSON response in a following tweet.

Unfortunately, when I run
./tweet.sh upload /path/to/image.jpg

Instead of JSON I get the response:
curl: option --form: is badly used here
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information

Am I doing something wrong? Or is it possible that some change to curl has broken the script? All dependencies are the latest version.

ideas please (or ignore = close)

Hey!
Wow. Your tool looks amazing. And simple enough. Even though I don't like bash coding very much, but perhaps I could wrap it all into python functions?

ONLY if you find the time, please give this a quick read.
IF NOT, just close this issue. Then sorry to have bothered you.

I would like to automate these three tasks:

(1) follow-when-retweeted

When someone retweets one of my retweets, I would like to automatically follow them, and put them in a list, for later manual inspection (whether to mute them or even unfollow again, always needs visual inspection). Of course, it makes sense to first check whether I am already following them anyways.

(2) unfollow-wait-and-follow-again

Intention: To send them a trigger to check me out (again).

Condition on accounts:

I am following them, but they do not follow me back yet.
They are not in a (manual) blacklist of accounts that I do want want to bother with this.

Steps:

Find all above accounts.
one by one: Unfollow. Wait a minute or a day. Follow them again.
after 3 days, check whether that was successful.

Perhaps the twitter API has a daily quota for stuff like that? Then have the script end in a way that the remaining batch can be done on the next day.

(3) retweet my own tweets

Reason: I am awake while the main group of my followers is sleeping.
Intention: Give more people a chance to see a "best of" my recent tweets.

Steps:

I compile a list of (e.g. a dozen, or a hundred) of my own tweet URLs.
one by one: (possibly undo the retweet, then) retweet the tweet.
there should be e.g. an hour between those retweets, perhaps two retweets at at time.

Detail: I want retweets without additional comment, so no new tweet is created.

Questions:

Are you aware of any twitter tools which do exactly that already? That would save me time.
Did you have any hints for me, while reading the above?

Thanks a million! Keep up the good work!
Andreas
