Raffle

Rest application that performs a raffle using Twitter

Configuring the application

Before using this app, go to https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps and create an App. (You might need to apply for a developer account)

Fill the fields:

  • App name: _raffle. Example: rafabene_raffle
  • Description: This app will search for specific hashtags and check if the user who posted the tweeter follows me and has a posted a picture.
  • Website URL: https://developers.redhat.com
  • Tell us how this app will be used: This app will search for specific hashtags and check if the user who posted the tweeter follows me and has a posted a picture.

For the new App, Get the Consumer API keys, Access token & access token secret (you might need to generate them), and place it in the src/main/resources/twitter4j.properties (DON'T COMMIT THIS FILE AS IT CONTAINS SENSITIVE DATA)

Run the following command after cloning this repo to avoid accidental commits of this file.

git update-index --assume-unchanged src/main/resources/twitter4j.properties

Executing the application

Run with

mvn spring-boot:run

Access the URL: http://localhost:8080/<hashtag for the raffle>

NOTE: Under the Standard Search API, only the 7 last days are included in the result.

  • The Tweet must have a picture of you (part of the query string)
