About

twitterbot is an OSINT program focused on the social media application Twitter. Users can view a wide variety of information from various sites with an easy-to-use GUI, information includes:

• User profile information such as name, location, bio, etc.
• User site posts
• User's followers
• User's following

Setup

This application requires a variety of software to run locally, this is the only option currently. You'll need a Bearer API token, create a twitterbot.env file with API_TOKEN key as the bearer token. Add the BASE_URL AND TOKEN_URL values from the example as well, place this file in the conf directory.

e.g. example twitterbot.env

BASE_URL="https://api.twitter.com/2"
TOKEN_URL="https://api.twitter.com/2/oauth2/token"
API_TOKEN="ASsafdasdfJASI!23Sasdf"
PORT=":8081"

Languages used are:

1. JavaScript, HTML & CSS (Front-end uses ReactJS)
2. Golang (Server)

Front-end

1. Go to front-end directory
2. Run npm start

This will build the front-end code and create a local server at localhost:3000. The site should automatically load in your default browser. If it does not, then go to http://localhost:3000. Hot reloading is activated so could changes are immediately applied.

Back-end

1. Go to root directory of this project
2. Run go run cmd/main/main.go

This will start the back-end at localhost:{PORT}. This needs to be run in tandem with the front-end to provide the necessary REST API. The port must be updated within twitterbot.env using the PORT key.
