x-rapidapi-keykey from the code snippet that you can find in the API page. If you are having trouble finding the RapidAPI key, watch this video. - Create a file named
.envat the repo's root directory and paste the keys from the previous steps in it (It should look like.env.example). - Open your console inside the directory.
- Run
yarnornpm ito install the project's dependencies. - Go to the

Your bot can be customized if you want it to have a different behaviour. The options that it supports right now are:
| Option | Sub option | Description | Default value | Value type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| credentials | ||||
| consumer_key | Key you get from your Twitter app. | CONSUMER_KEY value in your .env file. | String | |
| consumer_secret | Secret key you get from your Twitter app. | CONSUMER_SECRET value in your .env file. | String | |
| access_token | Generated access token you get for an specific Twitter user. | ACCESS_TOKEN value in your .env file. | String | |
| access_token_secret | Generated secret access token you get for an specific Twitter user. | ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET value in your .env file. | String | |
| decimalsAmount | Number of decimal places after the comma of the cryptocurrency price. | From 0 to 8 depending on the cryptocurrency price. | Positive number | |
| hasHashtags | ||||
| code | If the tweet should contain the coin code as a hashtag or not. E.g. #BTC. | true | Boolean | |
| name | If the tweet should contain the coin name as a hashtag or not. E.g. #Bitcoin. | true | Boolean | |
| hasComparisons | ||||
| lastTweet | If the tweet should contain the comparison between the current price and the one from 24 hours ago. | true | Boolean | |
| lastDay | If the tweet should contain the comparison between the current price and the one from the last tweet. | true | Boolean | |
| chartOptions | ||||
| interval |
Time interval for each candle.
|
1m |
|
|
| limit | Amount of candles in the chart | 16 | Integer. Maximum 1000 |
When you saw the first example, you might have noticed that the tweet interval was set in minutes. If you want to set the interval to certain amount of hours, minutes, and/or seconds, you can use a time object to explicitly set them.
| Option | Description | Value Type |
|---|---|---|
| hours | Time interval in hours between tweets. | Positive number |
| minutes | Time interval in minutes between tweets. | Positive number |
| seconds | Time interval in seconds between tweets. | Positive number |
As shown in the first example you can also use just a number instead of an object and it will be considered as minutes.
E.g.
bot.setTweetInterval(15)is the same asbot.setTweetInterval({ minutes: 15 })
