Attention all former users of Cheap Bots Done Quick: I created a similar site that should be a drop-in replacement! It uses Tracery just like CBDQ. You can even make your bot tweet things in order, and there's a tweet preview feature for testing! Thread πŸ‘‡

To get your bot tweeting, all you have to do is: 1. Create a free Twitter developer account and generate API keys (don't worry, my site walks you through this). 2. Write a Tracery config. 3. Choose a tweeting frequency and press start.

Generating your own API keys is necessary so that you can utilize your own daily tweet limit. Twitter's recent API changes imposed a severe limit on the number of tweets a single application can make, so you will be using your own API keys to tweet instead.

What is Tracery? It's a text-generation language, written as JSON, with symbols on the left and a list of values on the right. Every time your bot generates a tweet, it begins at the origin symbol. In this simple example, your bot would randomly tweet one of two sentences.

My site is free to use, although I do ask a small amount if you require more server resources. This project is only feasible if enough people are willing to chip in to help cover the costs.

If you know any bots that were taken offline when CBDQ was shut down, be sure to let them know about this so that they can be resurrected!

Text replacement: If you wrap a symbol with number signs, it will be replaced by one of its values, chosen randomly. This example can generate three sentences ("This is a tweet.", "This is an amazing tweet.", "This is a cool tweet.").

Images: To attach an image to your tweet, use an image tag with the image's URL, like so:

Videos: To attach a video to your tweet, it needs to already have been tweeted somewhere. Then, append "/video/1" to the tweet's URL. Alternatively, there's another type of URL you can use that's found in the code generated by your tweet's Embed Tweet button.

@shivstabby It gets an error when it tries to download the Discord images because Discord blocked us. I'm working on a workaround, but it might be a week or two because I'm busy. If you don't want to wait, you could switch to a different image host like Imgur. You can do that on your own or…
