I know, old topic but wanted to share experience with this script.
Last night i wanted to be able to make my Raspi tweet our local weather, just for fun
Well seems twitter doesn't allow the method as describe here.
So i took a other approach which works flawless.
Maybe not the cleanest script but it works.
@1 i created a new app via
https://apps.twitter.com/app/new
@2 i installed the following extra packages on my Rapsberry
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install tweepy
@3 i create a new python script called weer.py
You need to fill the keys below as create @
https://apps.twitter.com/app/new
The weather-tweet.txt is a file where your future tweet is stored and this scripts needs it to tweet.
Also made this script executable.
Code: Select all
#! /usr/bin/env python
import tweepy
from datetime import datetime
API_KEY = ' '
API_SECRET = ' '
ACCESS_TOKEN = ' '
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = ' '
auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(API_KEY, API_SECRET)
auth.set_access_token(ACCESS_TOKEN, ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET)
api = tweepy.API(auth)
tempfile = open("/mnt/usbstorage/tweets/weather-tweet.txt")
thetext = tempfile.read()
tempfile.close()
api.update_status(thetext)
@4 I created a bash script which is executable.
And made a cron for every hour. */60 * * * * sudo bash /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/bash/weer_tweet.sh
It scraps the data from my sensors in the garden but it will work with weatherunderground also.
Code below has the same idea as the script in this thread.
Code: Select all

Therefore I was very fascinated by your idea!
And so close to where I love
