gweet is a sharenix plugin that
uploads images and videos to twitter. It can also act as a standalone command
line twitter client (it can only update your status and post media though).
Getting started
- Download the binaries from the releases section.
- Extract them and copy them to the plugins directory:
tar -zxvf gweet-linux-amd64.tar.gz
mkdir ~/.sharenix/plugins
cp ./gweet-linux-amd64/gweet ~/.sharenix/plugins
- Edit your sharenix.json config file:
gedit ~/.sharenix/sharenix.json
and add the following entry at the top of "Services":
{
"Name": "twitter (gweet)",
"RequestType": "PLUGIN",
"RequestURL": "gweet",
"FileFormName": "",
"Arguments": {
"_tail": "$input$"
},
"ResponseType": "Text",
"RegexList": [],
"URL": "",
"ThumbnailURL": "",
"DeletionURL": ""
},
- Configure gweet with your twitter account by running
~/.sharenix/plugins/gweet -config
You can run this again to add as many accounts as you like or overwrite
old ones. The default account will always be the first one you added.
Accounts and the Default Account are stored in plugins/gweet.json .
- Upload something by using the newly added service, such as:
sharenix -c -n -o -s="twitter (gweet)" /path/to/file.png
{
"Name": "twitter (gweet)",
"RequestType": "PLUGIN",
"RequestURL": "gweet",
"FileFormName": "",
"Arguments": {
"_tail": "$input$",
"lewd": "true"
},
"ResponseType": "Text",
"RegexList": [],
"URL": "",
"ThumbnailURL": "",
"DeletionURL": ""
},
Uploading to a non-default account

"Name": "twitter (gweet)",
"RequestType": "PLUGIN",

"Arguments": {
"_tail": "$input$",
"account": "Other account name"
},
"ResponseType": "Text",
