📢 The free access to Twitter API will end on 1 May. 📢
This channel uses Twitter API to retrieve tweets for posting, and I can't afford paying $100 every month for a pet project. But I don't want to drop it either.
So, with the help of @nakedbotch, the author of @getnaked_bot and @IGSpyBot (highly recommend to check out both of them) I am trying to look for a workaround.
There is a good chance that every now and then, some things will be broken. There is also a chance, that at some point, the project will stop working completely. Let's see - I'll try to keep it alive as long as I can - with a meaningful effort.
Please fasten your seatbelts and expect some turbulence coming!

Well, just in a 2-3 days, the main share of the work is done.
Featurewise, it should be matching the current set. There is a couple of missing things under the hood like getting numerical user ID via twitter name, but you should not see it.
I am sure some issues will surface as well as Twitter will be changing some items. I will keep an eye on them.

The first issue found: tweets which are marked as aged restricted are not displayed. 🙁

A Gepard SPAAG was hit by a Lancet Kamikaze drone with his pants down. Looks like only minor damage.
In Germany, I would say: “Deutsche Wertarbeit”.

Now, the bot properly handles long tweets. Instead of posting a trunkated version of the tweet, it posts the whole text.
Over last week, the bot got broken twice: first, it changed request parameters, and second, it started requiring guest cookie in a request.
It took me a day or two to notice those issues, but now I fixed it. I also plan to improve monitoring, so in case these issues persist, I will be notified.

Couple of posts (one in English, another in Russian) were too long to be posted as a single Telegram message. Telegram limits a single (non-media) message to 4 096 characters, and Twitter nowadays lets people post up to 10 000 characters long posts.
Incident fixed those channels by splitting and posting messages manually. This broke the clogging, and all other message are being posted by bot as I write this.
Short term fix planned: set the monitoring for this kind of issues, so if they occur, I will be notified and will do the manual fix.
Long term fix planned: come up with the message splitting mechanism.

Today, I woke up to my worst nightmare related to the bot: hundreds of duplicate posts in multiple channels. The reason was this tweet with huge video. Bot was failing to upload it to Telegram, and crushing without storing any information about previousely sent posts. So, next time it was resending posts and trying to upload video again...
Incident is fixed, duplicates mostly removed, proper fix planned for... I don't know when. 🙂

📣 Well, it looks to be over. 📣
Tonight, without any prior announcements, Twitter has disabled any access to tweets withot login. This means that the bot can't retrieve the data anymore, so I am shutting it down.
I'll keep the channels, but there will be no updates unless Twitter reverses its decision or I will find a way to bypass this limitation (which is unlikely).
It's very ironic and sad to see how two big platforms, Twitter and Reddit, go down the closure pass simultaneousely.
Thank you for staying here for all this time.
