kandi X-RAY | 101atron Summary
101atron is a JavaScript library typically used in Nodejs applications. 101atron has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.
Before you run the bot, it's useful to understand how it's architected. The bot consists of two executable files: index.js and watcher.js. watcher.js is designed to be always running in the background. This is the process that watches for users "invoking" the bot and for users following the bot. It's always listening to Twitter. When a user tweets something like "hey @101atron tell @tinysubversions about cats", this file registers the event and then composes a tweet that is pushed to our Redis database. Importantly, this file does not ever tweet: it just queues tweets up in a database. index.js is where the tweeting happens, and is a much simpler piece of code. This file is meant to be executed via a cron job or other scheduler. If you set it to run every five minutes, then every five minutes the code will look at the database, see if there's a tweet it's supposed to tweet, and then posts it to Twitter.

Install 101atron
To install and run 101atron you need the following software:. This has only been tested on OSX and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. It might work on Windows but I haven't checked.
Node.js v0.10+.
redis. This is the database software used to track state.
Clone this repository locally:. or just download the zip and extract it.
At this point you need to register a Twitter account and also get its "app info". So create a Twitter account for your bot. Twitter doesn't allow you to register multiple twitter accounts on the same email address. I recommend you create a brand new email address (try using Gmail) for the Twitter account. Once you register the account to that email address, wait for the confirmation email. Next, open the Twitter profile for the bot and associate a mobile phone number with it. You have to do this in order to register an application. If you only have one mobile phone number and it's already used on a different account, don't sweat it: just disconnect the phone from the other account and connect it to the bot for now. Once you're done registering the app, you can disconnect again and reconnect the phone to the previous account.
Take a look at the default 101atron spreadsheet. It consists of four tabs: Links, Users, Responses, and Follow Rewards. The spreadsheet itself is pretty well documented -- just open up each tab and read the description of what it does to familiarize yourself with it. Right now the bot is set up to use this exact spreadsheet. You can see in the URL that there is a long string of characters -- this is the "spreadsheet key", and it matches what's currently set in config.js for spreadsheetKey.
If you want this to run reliably and permanently, I recommend the following setup:.
run the bot on a remote server of some kind so it can run 24/7.
use a process monitoring program like forever to run watcher.js. This will automatically restart watcher.js if it crashes for some reason.
run your redis DB and watcher.js (via forever or similar) on reboot.
run index.js via cron or a similar scheduler, and don't have it run more than once a minute (otherwise you'll run into Twitter rate limits).
