Quite amazed how these modules abstract away a lot of complex stuff keeping the script lean.

Note we only store the template config file on GH, the real one is ignored to not reveal any secret info.įor Slack you need to create a bot first and add the bot to your designated channel. We use configparser to read these tokens in from a config file. We wrote about the Twitter API and Slack before. You will need Twitter API tokens and a Slack token. We use slacker and twython so pip install them or pip install -r requirements.txt (after creating a virtual env). With that said let’s get coding! Requirements and Setup When we do this we tend to stumble upon interesting projects. Not that much, in this article we show you how.īy the way, if at some point you lack inspiration what to build next, apart from joining our code challenges, think about how you can scratch your own itch. How difficult would it be to build this ourselves? The funny thing is that we started out using mediatrigger.io using a free trial, but soon we thought: This was another script that came out of our 100DaysOfCode challenge. The slacker and twython modules made this pretty easy. We built a nice tool to monitor whenever our domain gets mentioned on Twitter. In this article I show you how to monitor Twitter and post alerts to a Slack channel.
