Alliolli Twitter Bot

A Selenium based Twitter bot to perform different actions. Still in a very early stage.

How to craft a simple pipeline

Step 1: Call a driver, action chain object and choose a login method: Either manual or automatic through the open_x() function

-For manual method use the keyboard module, so once you are done with the login, an F2 press will trigger the automated actions.

-Otherwise, just call open_x(driver,username,password) and let it be:

# pipeline.py

from actions import get_driver, kill_cookies, check_trends, grok_post
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

USER = 'set_your_own_as_environment_variable'
PWD = 'set_your_own_as_environment_variable'
WEB = 'https://x.com/i/flow/login'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Get a driver and action chains
    driver = get_driver()
    actions = ActionChains(driver)
    # Navigate to the login page
    driver.get(WEB)
    driver.maximize_window()
    # Perform manual login or uncomment open_x() and remove the wait for F2 press.
    # open_x(driver, USER, PWD)
    print('Press F2 once you are logged in')
    kb.wait('f2')

    # Add next actions below.

Step 2: Add desired actions that makes sense given the pipeline you are thinking about

In the example I've set, it will pick a random trending topic from the section "For you", ask Grok AI to make a photography about it, and use one of them to make a post with the same hashtag.

# pipeline.py

from actions import get_driver, kill_cookies, check_trends, grok_post
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains

USER = 'set_your_own_as_environment_variable'
PWD = 'set_your_own_as_environment_variable'
WEB = 'https://x.com/i/flow/login'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Get a driver and action chains
    driver = get_driver()
    actions = ActionChains(driver)
    # Navigate to the login page
    driver.get(WEB)
    driver.maximize_window()
    # Perform manual login or uncomment open_x() and remove the wait for F2 press.
    # open_x(driver, USER, PWD)
    print('Press F2 once you are logged in')
    kb.wait('f2')

    # Add next actions below.

    kill_cookies(driver) # Optional, just in case you don't quit the pop up manually or if you just don't care
    # Get trending topics
    trends = check_trends(driver)
    # Make a Grok post based on one trend
    grok_post(driver, trends)

Step 3: Run and get the result

In this case, a random Grok photo about "Lavapiés", a place in Madrid that was temporally a trend.
