# t2m - Twitter 2 MastodonA script to manage the forwarding of tweets from Twitter accounts to a Mastodon one.[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/yoloswagteam/t2m.svg?branch=refactoring-tests-pip-installation)](https://travis-ci.org/fcayre/t2m)# InstallationOn debian/ubuntu:sudo apt-get install python-virtualenvvirtualenv vesource ve/bin/activate# if you run with an old version of python 2.7 (Ubuntu 14.04 for example)# you'll need to run those, otherwise requests will break because it won't# be able to correctly verify the host of the https issuer# if you use python 3 you can ignore thatpip install pyopenssl ndg-httpsclient pyasn1python setup.py developThen you need twitter API credentials. Following this tutorial https://python-twitter.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html then create a `conf.yaml` file of this format:consumer_key: "..."consumer_secret: "..."access_token_key: "..."access_token_secret: "..."The credentials for Mastodon are automatically generated at the first startup.# Python 2/3 and one known bugCompatible with both.There is a known bug if you run python2 coming for the STL lib `mimetypes`:JPEG images will be uploaded with the `.jpe` extension, this will break "goingon the exact url of the image" (will cause a download instead of a display).This bug is fixed in python 3 so I would recommend running t2m with it.# Usage## One accountForward for one account:t2m one twitter_account -m mastodon_accountThis will forward all not already forwarded tweet (this can be up to 200) whilewaiting 30 seconds between each toot. This will also remember the mastodon account (so you don't need to specify it again).Tweets that starts with a "@" won't be forwarded.  Retweets won't be forwarded unless the `-r` option is specified.You might want a finer control on your action, so you can do:t2m one twitter_account -m mastodon_account -n 10To forward only 10 tweet (be careful: if you relaunch the command this will forward 10 other tweets that weren't already forwarded).You can also mark the whole available tweet as "already seen" without forwarding them so they'll never be forwarded in the future by using this command:t2m one twitter_account -m mastodon_account -oIf you want to test your commands without forwarding you can simply uses the `-d` (or `--debug`) option:t2m one twitter_account -m mastodon_account -dt2m one twitter_account -m mastodon_account -n 10 -d## RecommendationIn general, when I had a new account I look at its timeline, read how many tweets make sens then do:t2m one twitter_account -m mastodon_account -n <number of tweets>t2m one twitter_account -m mastodon_account -o## Several accountsTo forward tweets for all accounts, simply run:t2m allThis is a good command to put inside a crontab.To check all accounts that will be forwarded, do a:t2m listYou can also add an account directly without using the `one` command using:t2m add twitter_account mastodon_account## RetweetsWhen enabled, retweets are forwarded using the `retweet.tmpl` file as a template, feel free to edit it to suit your needs.  The following tokens will be replaced in the template:* `%(text)s`: the retweeted text* `%(user)s`: the original tweet author username* `%(id)s`: the original tweet idTo create a link to the original tweet, use `https://twitter.com/%(user)s/status/%(id)s`.  To link to the original author profile, use `https://twitter.com/%(user)s`.## Content WarningsContent warnings can be added automatically to toots based on regularexpressions. These are configured by creating a file named cw.json.For example, simple patterns can be used to match any tweet mentioning specifickeywords:```json{"coding": ["code", "coding", "pull request", "github", "git", "json", "regex"],"coffee": ["#coffee", "coffee", "caffeine"]}```If a regex pattern contains a group then that group will be used as the contentwarning text. This allows rules such as using the first hashtag of a tweet asthe CW warning:```json{"hashtag-prefix": ["^(#[^\\s]*)\\s"]}```This also allows using a prefix such as CW to specify that the first line of atweet should be used as the content warning:```json{"cw-prefix": ["^CW (.*)\\n"]}```Note that the regex is matched after the `retweet.tmpl` file is applied as atemplate, so this can be used to automatically apply a content warning to allRTs, or RTs from specific people, etc.# LicenceCopyright (C) 2017-2018  Laurent Peuch and [Contributors](https://github.com/Psycojoker/t2m/graphs/contributors)This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modifyit under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published bythe Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or(at your option) any later version.This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty ofMERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
