In Part 1 of this series we setup our development environment, created our twitter-bot project, integrated it with the Twitter API so it could send out programmatic tweets, and performed a basic Atom feed retrieval for some actual content to tweet. In Part 2 we integrated Airbrake’s Node.js software to… continue reading →
In Part 1 we setup our development environment, created our twitter-bot project, integrated it with the Twitter API so it could send out programmatic tweets, and performed a basic Atom feed retrieval for some actual content to tweet. Today, we’ll continue refining our Twitter bot by integrating automatic error handling… continue reading →
Over the next week we’ll be learning how to create a fully-automated, NodeJS, serverless Twitter bot with real-time error monitoring capabilities via Airbrake. Our Twitter bot will be capable of performing just about any task you can imagine, and it will do so serverlessly, by making use of the power… continue reading →
