Title: [HELP] Is there a way to integrate Twitter and Bitcointalk?
Post by: Three Millionth User on February 23, 2021, 06:38:16 PM
Friends, I need help, I'm not sure if this question has already been raised, but I would like to publish messages on the forum and that my publications would be duplicated in my twitter account. Has anyone already proposed similar solutions?

Features:
  • Fetch topics from board pages and posts from topic pages or the "Recent Posts" page.
  • Get post's message*, URL, title, number in topic, creation date, author's username and profile link.
  • Quickly fetch post messages from the entire topic (other data will require additional fetching).
  • Fully commented code for developing extensions / different versions.

To make it 100% automated you would need to create an RSS of your profile (last posts page) and link the RSS link to your Twitter account, either via IFTTT, Zapier, Dlvr, ect.
I used a website that creates an RSS for almost any page but I can't remember the name. You can surely find similar websites with a search engine.

Not 100% automated.
If it doesn't bother you to make 1 click on a browser addon then you can give it a try to Buffer. Once you added your Twitter account and installed the addon, each time you click on the icon it will post the current page you're on to your Twitter account.
Similar services are Hootsuite and Dlvr and all have a free version.

What's not enough with @mprep solution?

There's also TryNinja's API which, in my opinion, is a bit easier to implement since it's a simple REST API protocol and you can retrieve data with regular HTTP GET queries.

Ninjastic.space - BitcoinTalk Post/Address archive + API (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5273824)

You can find the documentation here:
https://docs.ninjastic.space/

You can then create a relatively simple script (in any programming language) that will retrieve the latest posts for a particular user using the Ninjastic.space API and post the modified content on Twitter.

Something like this would be fairly easy to script using WinAutomation or AutoIt. However it would require a basic server such as "free tier" on Google Cloud Compute, a 1 CPU basic VM that monitored your account, and then posted each new entry to your twitter.

The upside of doing it this was vs. simple RSS/IFTTT is that posts to twitter using IFTTT are many times "somewhat shadowbanned" or less likely to appear in feeds.

Scripting it to where the VM actually checked for new posts on say 5 minute intervals and then formatted the post to twitter specifically how you wanted it to be posted with correct hyperlinks, no IFTTT redirects... it could be setup to search your posts for specific types of keywords you preset in an excel/csv to create # tags or $tags.

Far more customizable and then the twitter posts would appear to be actually "tweeted by a human".

Just my thoughts!

Cheers!

"tweeted by a human" is exactly what I mean. If someone realized something like that, I would gladly reward him with 10 merits.
I think a thread with such an extension or addition would have gained a lot of Merit.
