Omni Scraper

A Twitter bot that attempts to determine the intent of a Tweep and delivers the content they need.

Try for yourself by tagging @omniscraper on Twitter.

The bot will reply with either:

• A link to thread.
• A link to a video/gif in the replied tweet.

Contribution

This is a .NET project build on the .NET 5 framework and fully in the open. The driver program is Omniscraper.Daemon which is a console application hosting a backgroud service. Development has been done using Visual studio 2019 but should work just fine using VS code(untested).

Database migration can be performed from the Omniscraper.Core project using the usual dotnet entity framework commands defined in the link here.

Every merge(push or PR) into the main branch will trigger a build configured in the Github actions.

Current build status is as below.

The web part to all this is developed from this repository by Francis.

Support

As at this point, support by following and tagging @omniscraper on Twitter to capture your videos/GIFS and soon threads.
