Automate crossposting web3isgoinggreat.com posts to social media. The tool captures a screenshot of the specified post, splits it into up to three segments if the post is long, and then posts to Twitter, Mastodon, Bluesky, Instagram, and/or Threads.
Install: Clone the repository, then run pip install -r requirements.txt.
Example call: crossposter.py 2023-05-01-0
Call the script with the numerical ID (YYYY-MM-DD-INCREMENT) of the entry to post. The script also takes several
optional flags:
--no-confirm: Skip the confirmation step, which previews the post text and prompts you to check the screenshot(s) that will be posted--use-prev: Use screenshots and post information stored from a past run--debug: Show more verbose debug messages
Mutually exclusive optional flags:
--tweet: Only post to Twitter--toot: Only post to Mastodon--skeet: Only post to Bluesky--insta: Only post to Instagram--threads: Only post to Threads
The script requires a secrets.py file with the format:
TWITTER_API_KEY = ""
TWITTER_API_KEY_SECRET = ""
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN = ""
TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET = ""
MASTODON_EMAIL = ""
MASTODON_PASSWORD = ""
BLUESKY_USERNAME = ""
BLUESKY_PASSWORD = ""
INSTAGRAM_USERNAME = ""
INSTAGRAM_PASSWORD = ""
It also requires a mastodon.secret file generated via this
process, and a gcp-secret.secret GCP Service Account key file for
a Service Account with Cloud Functions Invoker access to the addSocialPostIds cloud function.
Posting on Threads uses the same credentials as Instagram.
