auxproc / twitter-contest Goto Github PK

This is a really great project, thank you for effort!
Would it be possible to add a feature where it only enters competitions with a minimum number of re tweets in order to avoid fake non legit competitions. They was a similar feature in the java version of this project, which I have attached. 'MIN_RETWEETS_NEEDED'

Thank you!

Getting this error of unknown timezone with pytz looks like its after calling the scheduler in main.py?

Hi @ModusVivendi , I've been trying this for 3 days and have probably spent 5-6h trying to do this to no avail. Here is my current situation;

• I have Python3.5 installed
• I have a clean copy of TwitterAPI as I just deleted and reinstalled it
• I have a folder called twitter-contest-master on my desktop and it contains the following; .travis.yml (Untouched), config.json (Originally ...json.example and now filled out with MY access token etc.), log (Untouched), main.py (Untouched and seems to always have different errors when I run) README.MD, and tests.py.

When I run main.py in this state, I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Lucas Fern\Desktop\twitter-contest-master\main.py", line 424, in <module>
    Config.access_token_secret)
  File "C:\Users\Lucas Fern\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\lib\site-packages\TwitterAPI\TwitterAPI.py", line 44, in __init__
    raise Exception('Missing authentication parameter')
Exception: Missing authentication parameter

I've tried what seems like everything but when I edit out an error, I generate a new one.

I'd be super grateful if you could help as I've already invested quite a bit of time into this project.

Sorry for being a nuisance,
Lucas

Hello,

Very good idea, unfortunately I had some issues :(

$root@localhost : python3 main.py

Traceback (most recent call last): File "main.py", line 430, in <module> scheduler = BlockingScheduler() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/apscheduler/schedulers/base.py", line 82, in __init__ self.configure(gconfig, **options) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/apscheduler/schedulers/base.py", line 121, in configure self._configure(config) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/apscheduler/schedulers/base.py", line 689, in _configure self.timezone = astimezone(config.pop('timezone', None)) or get_localzone() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/tzlocal/unix.py", line 123, in get_localzone _cache_tz = _get_localzone() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/tzlocal/unix.py", line 62, in _get_localzone return pytz.timezone(etctz.replace(' ', '_')) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pytz/__init__.py", line 181, in timezone raise UnknownTimeZoneError(zone) pytz.exceptions.UnknownTimeZoneError: ''

Hi there,

Firstly, thank you for making this bot. It was an interesting evening getting it set up (as I'm very new to this).

One thing I have noticed is that it will retweet users who are doing manual retweets (i.e. posts that start "RT @username"). As these are users entering competitions and not the competitions themselves, this won't give valid entries into competitions. An example of this behaviour is here (my bot has retweeted this): https://twitter.com/Parsnip_Pete/status/760384050154516480

Can you advise how to fix this?

Getting the following error message when running the script,

Traceback (most recent call last):

I get this issue:
File "main.py", line 7, in

ImportError: No module named apscheduler.schedulers.blocking

Im not sure what it means, pls help.

Hi,
Thanks for the project, it works and it rt'd some contests since i've launched the script
But i've got t
his, and then the program seems to be stuck :
2017-12-20 23:06:54,858 - INFO - application Rate Limit-> /application/rate_limit_status: 58.88888888888889
2017-12-20 23:07:04,750 - INFO - application Rate Limit-> /application/rate_limit_status: 58.333333333333336
2017-12-20 23:07:14,753 - INFO - application Rate Limit-> /application/rate_limit_status: 57.77777777777777
2017-12-20 23:07:24,805 - INFO - application Rate Limit-> /application/rate_limit_status: 57.22222222222222
and many lines like this.
also, i don't understand all the params in the config.json, what are the rates and update times ?
i think it's because of these params that the program seems to be stuck for a little time between each RT.

Hi,
Sorry if I'm really bad at this as I only just started learning python. I've tried launching your app in both 2.7 and 3.5 versions and both come to different errors, here is a screenshot of me running in both python modules, hope you can help me troubleshoot this and again, apologies for being dumb and new.

I understand that you say to run it in v3 of python but I couldn't figure out why pip3 installer wasn't working to install twitterAPI and that seems to clearly be the problem. It'd be great if you could help me figure this out, especially as it seems as simple as installing TwitterAPI for v3 of python.

Thanks,
Lucas

So it keeps retweeting @RealBotSpotter and I think I have it blocked so it won't do that anymore. Are there any more bot spotting handles or tactics that other people have found/gotten work arounds?

After running the script with the newest scheduler yesterday afternoon and all night, I noticed it did not once clear the queue and the script eventually crashed. I think the new scheduler has caused some instabilities I cant identify.

I am not sure what happened here, but it undid what i commited today.

Also i can modify the main scheduler so we dont have 2 schedulers. ;-)
Please contact me at buluba89 at gmail.com to talk about some issues!

Thanks!

Not exactly sure if I'm missing something here, but I'm almost sure that the following and favorites feature isn't working. I'm yet to follow or favorite any tweets even though it's retweeted many tweets that have favorite and follow as requirements.

I'm just curious as to why this fork doesn't link back to my original, it'd be nice to have it included in the README at least :) anyway, keep it up!
