Twitter Monitor

Monitor the following, tweet, like and profile of a Twitter user and send the changes to the telegram channel.

Data is crawled from Twitter web’s GraphQL API.

(Due to the unstable return results of Twitter Web's following API, accounts with more than 100 followings are not recommended to use following monitor.)

Usage

Setup

(Requires python >= 3.10)

Clone code and install dependent pip packages

git clone https://github.com/ionic-bond/twitter-monitor.git
cd twitter-monitor
pip3 install -r ./requirements.txt

Prepare required tokens

• Create a Telegram bot and get it's token:

  https://t.me/BotFather

• Unofficial Twitter account auth:

  You need to prepare one or more normal twitter accounts, and then use the following command to generate auth cookies

  python3 main.py generate-auth-cookie --username "{username}" --password "{password}"

Fill in config

• First make a copy from the config templates

  cp ./config/token.json.template ./config/token.json
  cp ./config/monitoring.json.template ./config/monitoring.json

• Edit config/token.json

  1. Fill in telegram_bot_token

  2. Fill in twitter_auth_username_list according to your prepared Twitter account auth

  3. Now you can test whether the tokens can be used by

     python3 main.py check-tokens

• Edit config/monitoring.json

  (You need to fill in some telegram chat id here, you can get them from https://t.me/userinfobot and https://t.me/myidbot)

  1. If you need to view monitor health information (starting summary, daily summary, alert), fill in maintainer_chat_id

  2. Fill in one or more user to monitoring_user_list, and their notification telegram chat id, weight, which monitors to enable. The greater the weight, the higher the query frequency. The profile monitor is forced to enable (because it triggers the other 3 monitors), and the other 3 monitors are free to choose whether to enable or not

  3. You can check if your telegram token and chat id are correct by

     python3 main.py check-tokens --telegram_chat_id {your_chat_id}

python3 main.py run
