A summary of the process for setting up a bot on Twitter.

Branch 67844 640

STORY TO AUCTION: As an additional feature of the auction that spells out the thoughts of the seller, we created a bot that tweets when a listing is made.

Although it is easier than I thought, I'll summarize it because I'm sure I'll forget again if I don't get used to it.

Get a free address

You need to have an address for your bot, different from your main address, free address or whatever.
In my case, I had a hotmail address, so I used that.

Register an account

Register an account at Twitter / Create an Account.

Here, "name" is the name that will be displayed prominently in the tweet, which can be in Japanese or any other language, including the use of spaces.
A user name is like an ID that appears under @, and I have a rule that only one-byte alphanumeric characters and underscores are allowed.
Both can be changed later.
