Python Can this be done? And if it can, how?

[Seneca]

I don't know Python. I would like to do the following:

BOT ONE:

• When a YouTube video is uploaded, I would like the Reddit bot to post the YouTube video to a certain sub-reddit
  • I would like the bot to sticky the post and unsticky the previous video.
• I would also like the bot to post to a sub-reddit when a tweet is posted.
  • The title of the post is the text contents of the tweet.
  • The Reddit post should be a link post.

BOT 2:

• When someone uploads an image to Instagram, I would like the bot to post to a certain sub-reddit.
• I would like the bot to upload the image to Imgur. Thus creating a mirror.
• In the comments I want the bot to first sticky the comment then the following:
  • Post the Instagram image url
  • Post the mirror link

Ideally, I would like the code to be reusable so the bots can be extended to other sub-forums if need be.

I believe this is possible with the use of the respective API's, Although, to access the Twitter API you need to apply for a developers account.
I suggest you look up modules to make accessing the API's easier.

Its possible.

As others have said, you need to get a Twitter API key to send POST/GET requests for information.
I don't know much about it, but you will also need to learn the YouTube API
You will also need to register your bot on Reddit & use their API

You will need to send/receive data to Reddit & Twitter & YouTube
You will use a cron for your script to regularly check for new Tweets/YouTube videos to submit to reddit

What about Instagram?

 

[Seneca]

Oh, and another question. Is it possible to split a Instagram post and create multiple reddit threads? What I mean is, if a person uploads 4 images to a single Instagram post, would it be possible to get all 4 images?

Not sure how you would do it because I'm not sure what the API allows you to do. It should be possible though because you can just get the URLs for the images and split them into four variables etc.

Thank god for APIs. Lol

This is what I have so far.

import praw
import tweepy


reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id="*",

                     client_secret="*",

                     user_agent="*",

                     username="*",

                     password="*")


consumer_key = '*'

consumer_secret = '*'

access_token = '*'

access_token_secret = '*'


auth = tweepy.OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret)

auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)


api = tweepy.API(auth)


base_url = 'https://twitter.com/'

mobole_prefix = 'mobile.'

[/CODE]
I plan on adding some stuff for config. I might use json
EDIT

 {
  "Reddit": {
    "client_id": "",
    "client_secret": "",
    "user_agent": "",
    "username": "",
    "password": ""
  },
  "Twitter": {
    "consumer_key": "",
    "consumer_secret": "",
    "access_token": "",
    "access_token_secret": "",
    "base_url": "",
    "mobile_url": ""
  }
}
