I'm the code, and deployment of Twitter bot WikidataMeter. I tweet a few fun things about Wikidata as it grows.

Feel free to suggest more tweets by creating an Github issue.

Bot checks this data every 30 minutes, the value that is checked is live.

Bot checks this data every 30 minutes, the value that is checked is calculated once a day.

You'll need to install my dependencies using composer.

composer install

And in order to fully integrate with the services you'll need to populate a .env file. Checkout .env.example for what is needed.

Then just run the main script.

php run.php

I run on Github Actions on a cron using a docker container.

You can build the docker container using the following.

docker build . -t twitter-wikidatameter

• Github Actions - Building Docker images & running the cron for the bot
