Schedule a list of strings¶

Post ordered updates with Delay, Interval, and a Template if needed.

Coo.tweet(updates, delay, interval, template, time_zone)

from coo import Coo

at = Coo(
    "consumer_key",
    "consumer_secret",
    "access_token",
    "access_token_secret"
)

tweets = [
    "My first awesome Twitter Update",
    "My second awesome Twitter Update",
    "My third awesome Twitter Update",
    "My fourth awesome Twitter Update",
    "My fifth awesome Twitter Update",
    "My sixth awesome Twitter Update",
]

# post the twitter updates
at.tweet(tweets)

Delay¶

You can use datetime, date and time strings, integers as seconds and some Keywords: half_hour, one_hour, one_day and one_week between others to delay the post of your first update.

# datetime, date and time strings
at.tweet(tweets, delay="2030-11-24 13:45", time_zone="America/Santiago")
at.tweet(tweets, delay="2030-11-24", time_zone="Australia/Sydney")
at.tweet(tweets, delay="13:45", time_zone="America/New_York")

# "keywords"
at.tweet(tweets, delay="one_week")

# integer
at.tweet(tweets, delay=604800)

Note

When parsing DateTime strings:

If a time zone is not specified, it will set to local.
The time will be set to 00:00:00 if it’s not specified.
When passing only time information the date will default to today.
A future date is needed, otherwise a ScheduleError is raised.

Here you can find all the Time Zones.

Interval¶

Use integers as seconds or some strings as Keywords: half_hour, one_hour, one_day and one_week between others.

# "keywords"
at.tweet(tweets, interval="four_hours")

# integers
at.tweet(tweets, interval=14400)

Media files¶

Use one media file for all of your updates:

at.tweet(tweets, media="path/to/media.jpeg")

Random updates¶

To tweet your updates randomly:

at.tweet(tweets, aleatory=True)

Keywords¶

Keyword	Seconds
now	0
half_hour	1800
one_hour	3600
two_hours	7200
four_hours	14400
six_hours	21600
eight_hours	28800
ten_hours	36000
twelve_hours	43200

six_days	518400
one_week	604800

Template¶

You can also set one template for each one of the updates.

at.tweet(tweets, template=template)

Templates are very simple, just use a multiline string and add a $message where you want your message to appear.

template = """My aswesome header

$message

#python #coding #coo
"""
