twittertoreddit's Introduction

Twitter to Reddit

Simple python bot that crossposts tweets with a specific hashtag/user to reddit

Setup

Add a constants.py file in the subdirectory that looks like the following and add your keys.

global reddit_client_id
global reddit_client_secret
global reddit_client_refresh
global twitter_consumer_key
global twitter_consumer_key_secret

# From here: https://apps.twitter.com/app/new
twitter_consumer_key = ''
twitter_consumer_key_secret = ''

# From here: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/
reddit_client_id = ''
reddit_client_secret = ''
reddit_redirect_uri = ''
reddit_client_refresh = '' # Look below how to get the refresh token

Get reddit refresh token

Just follow the steps on this site, which I find super helpful. The needed scope is submit.

Alternatively here is the provided tutorial by the praw-Library

Run the bot

python main.py

Outdated API - changes to submit and authentication

With the latest API, it seems there should be a few changes to utils.py:

set_oauth_app_info is deprecated - all that info can go in the praw.reddit() initialisation
reddit_auth.submit() should now be reddit_auth.subreddit(subreddit).submit()
I think there's some issues with refresh_access_information - I've commented it out for now and added refresh_token=constants.reddit_client_refresh to praw.reddit()
