relaystation

relaystation is a software to bring multiple twitter accounts into mastodon using Twitter Stream API v2.

Our usecase is rather specific hence the name relaystation is borrowed from pro cycling. I wanted to bring the 18 UCI Worldtour Teams to the Fediverse, so I wrote this tool.

The goal of relaystation is to be a general purpose tool to forward any Twitter Stream API rules expression into the Fediverse.

Installation

You can fetch the Docker Image or checkout the repo

task release

Development

Until I have a test mechanism, I use this to craft a handmade tweet with a valid tweetid that fetches some images and posts a new status at mastodon

m := newMastodonClient()
t := newTwitterClient()

text := "test"
authorid := "12345"
tweetid := "1605518462985682946"

tweet := streamtypes.SearchStreamOutput{}
tweet.Data.Text = &text
tweet.Data.AuthorID = &authorid
tweet.Data.ID = &tweetid

toot := m.ComposeToot(&tweet, Accounts{}, t)
status, err := m.postToMastodon(toot)
log.Println(status, err)

os.Exit(1)
