280

Generated output

• 280.html - short and long tweets
• 280-short.html - only short tweets
• 280-long.html - only long tweets

What it does

Searches Twitter for "280" and outputs one short tweet of 140 characters or less, then long tweet one over 140, then repeats until 56,000 words (280 * 200). Or can only output short tweets. Or can only output long tweets.

How to do it

Get Twitter app keys and secrets and put them in 280.yaml:

consumer_key: TODO_ENTER_YOURS
consumer_secret: TODO_ENTER_YOURS
access_token: TODO_ENTER_YOURS
access_token_secret: TODO_ENTER_YOURS

Then run:

pip install pyyaml twitter
# then
python 280.py > 280.html
# or
python 280.py --toggle short > 280-short.html
# or
python 280.py --toggle long > 280-long.html

Works at least with macOS High Sierra with Python 3.6.3. Should work with Python 2.7.
