pajbot / tweet-provider

pajbot

pajbot is a twitch chat bot created by pajlada.
Website

Note: pajbot is in maintenance mode. This means we focus on keeping the project alive by not allowing major overhauls of any pajbot system or any major features. Fixing bugs, updating dependencies and ensuring that code interacting with external APIs still function will be our main goal. Feature requests will not be accepted unless someone is willing to own the feature, and even then some features that change too much of the architecture won't be allowed. Current minimal supported Python version is 3.9.

Python versioning

We use pyenv to manage Python versions. Get familiar with this tool.
Quick install of pyenv on Linux systems: curl https://pyenv.run | bash

If you don't want to use pyenv's version of Python in any of our scripts, set the SKIP_PYENV environment variable to 1.

Quick install

1. Install library requirements by typing ./scripts/venvinstall.sh in the root folder
2. Copy ./configs/example.ini to ./config.ini and change the relevant lines in the file.
3. Run the bot! ./main.py

Detailed install

You can find a detailed installation guide for pajbot in the install-docs directory of this repository.

Run-time options

Some values can be set to apply to your bot without modifying the config file, these are mostly for out-of-bot things.
They are configured using environment variables. The following options are available:

• PB1_LOG_HIDE_TIMESTAMPS
  If this option is set to 1, all log entries will be printed without a timestamp prefix.

tweet-provider's Issues

Send close message to all clients on exit

in case we exit through CTRL+C or similar

Large volumes of tweets silently crashes tweet provider

So this issue really only happens if you're following donald trump - and as a result, I can't test with any other user on twitter.
It appears that due to trump receiving such a large volume of tweets, tweet provider crashes or disconnects and stops working. If someone can find a similar twitter user, I can do more testing, but when I unfollowed trump on fabzeef's bot, the crashing stopped.

WebSocket protocol error

Since being rate limited, I've had to start using the tweet-provider option for tweet streaming on pajbot. I'm running into a weird issue where after a while, I run into many websocket protocol errors and it just stops working. I'm forced to restart the twitter provider in order to get it working again: https://hastebin.com/ucayororek.css

Not sure if this is something I've done wrong, or if it's something wrong with tweet-provider.

Infinitely backing off wraps around, causing the backoff to be 0ns

Make a new release

Waiting for #71 to be done first

tweet-provider should restart on unfollow

Currently tweet-provider restarts when you follow a user, but doesn't restart when you unfollow a user. It should restart when you unfollow a user, else it will continue to fetch all activity relating to that user.

• egg-mode: Waiting for my PR to be merged & a release to be made: egg-mode-rs/egg-mode#111

Properly handle Websocket close frames

Right now, we ignore Close frames sent by the client, this is not in accordance with the RFC which requires an acknowledge Close frame be sent after one is received.
Our error handling also shortcuts to exiting the function, which prevents us from sending appropriate Close frames to clients.
