A framework for making social media bots for multiple networks
Polybot is a framework for making social media bots for multiple networks in Python 3.
It currently only supports post-only bots.
Features
- Automatically post to both Twitter and Mastodon.
- A friendly setup interface to handle the OAuth hassle for you.
- Automatic state persistence - just put your state in the
self.statedict and it'll get saved/restored across runs.
Example
from polybot import Bot
class HelloWorldBot(Bot):
def main(self):
self.post("Hello World")
HelloWorldBot('helloworldbot').run()
To configure the accounts the bot uses, just run:
./helloworldbot.py --setup
You'll be guided through authenticating and a config file will be automatically created.
Use the --profile [name] to save and use a specific state/config.
By default, the bot will run in development mode, which avoids actually
posting to networks. To run in live mode, pass the --live flag.
