simpleMastodonBot

A very, very simple Mastodon bot wrapper. Uses the Mastodon.py wrapper for the Mastodon API.

Prerequisites (on linux):

• sudo apt install python-pip
• pip install Mastodon.py

Usage:

First, run simpleMastodonBot.py --cmd setup and follow the prompts to create the config files (files are created in your current working directory). This will create three config files.

Keep the config files together, but feel free to place them whereever you like as long as they're readable.

Then, run simpleMastodonBot.py --cmd toot --cfg <path to .cfg file created with setup command> --text "<text of your toot>" to toot to your Mastodon account.
