You can follow the Twitter Bot

What is this?

• This is an experimental project to try and create a simply reply twitter bot. It is using Lyrics AZ scraper script to get the lyrics of song for a specific artist and populate XATA DB with the lyrics, essentially create a discography with lyrics for an artist. Then it will use the XATA DB to generate a reply to a tweet.

• It also listens to twitter stream and likes/replies to tweets. More info in src/listen.js file.

• It posts a random song lyrics every hour. More info in src/sendTweet.js file.

• I am running this bot locally on my Raspberry PI and it is not hosted anywhere.

• Only valuable piece of code is the scraper script that I wrote to scrape the lyrics from the website. It lives in src/scrapeLyrics.js file. Although it is not perfect, it works for the purpose of this project. AZ Lyrics constantly changes their website so it is not worth spending time on making it perfect.

• You can use src/build.js to build the XATA DB for discography for pretty much any artist from scratch. It will take a while to build the DB. You will need to have a spotifyArtistId for the artist. You also will need to setup Xata DB and have appropriate schema. You can fine more info in src/xata.js file.

• In case if you have any questions and would like to give it a try, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter or Telegram
