• auth/reddit/getAccessToken.js: Handles authentication to Reddit API.
• handlers/checkDb.js: Checks the database for existing entries and saves new ones.
• handlers/filterPosts.js: Filters Reddit posts by specific flairs and excludes unwanted domains.
• handlers/getHeadlines.js: Uses OpenAI to generate Bloomberg-style headlines.
• handlers/getPosts.js: Retrieves recent posts from Reddit.
• handlers/tweetUpdates.js: Tweets the generated headlines using Twitter API.
• .env: Environment variables configuration file.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/football-news-bot.git
   cd football-news-bot

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Create a .env file in the root directory and add the necessary environment variables:

   REDDIT_CLIENT_ID=your_reddit_client_id
   REDDIT_CLIENT_SECRET=your_reddit_client_secret
   MONGO_DB_PASS=your_mongodb_password
   OPEN_AI_KEY=your_openai_key
   TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY=your_twitter_consumer_key
   TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET=your_twitter_consumer_secret
   TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_twitter_access_token
   TWITTER_TOKEN_SECRET=your_twitter_token_secret

To run the project, use the following command:

serverless deploy

1. Reddit Authentication:

   const getAccessToken = require("./auth/reddit/getAccessToken");

2. Get Posts from Reddit:

   const getPosts = require("./handlers/getPosts");

3. Filter Posts:

   const filterPosts = require("./handlers/filterPosts");

4. Check Database:

   const checkDb = require("./handlers/checkDb");

5. Generate Headlines:

   const getHeadlines = require("./handlers/getHeadlines");

6. Tweet Updates:

   const tweetUpdates = require("./handlers/tweetUpdates");

1. Main Function: The main function in index.js orchestrates the workflow:
   • Retrieve Reddit access token.
   • Fetch posts from Reddit.
   • Filter posts based on predefined criteria.
   • Check the database for new entries.
   • Generate headlines using OpenAI.
   • Post updates to Twitter.

async function main() {
  const accessToken = await getAccessToken();
  const posts = await getPosts(accessToken);
  const filteredPosts = filterPosts(posts);
  if (filteredPosts.length === 0) return console.log("No relevant posts.");

  const titles = filteredPosts.map((post) => ({
    title: post.data.title,
    url: post.data.url,
  }));

  const updates = await checkDb(titles);
  if (updates.length === 0) return console.log("No new updates.");

  const headlines = await getHeadlines(updates);
  console.log(headlines);

  await tweetUpdates(headlines);
}

module.exports.handler = main;
