### usage
* create a Mastodon API key following the instructions [here ](https://tinysubversions.com/notes/mastodon-bot/ )
* create a Twitter API key follwing the instructions [here ](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/authentication/guides/access-tokens )
* create a Tumblr API key following the instructions [here ](http://www.developerdrive.com/2014/05/how-to-get-started-with-the-tumblr-api-part-1/ )
* create a file called `config.edn` with the following contents:
```clojure
{;; add Twitter config to mirror Twitter accounts
:twitter {:access-keys
{:consumer_key "XXXX"
:consumer_secret "XXXX"
:access_token_key "XXXX"
:access_token_secret "XXXX"}
:accounts ["arstechnica" "WIRED"]} ;; accounts you wish to mirror
;; add Tumblr config to mirror Tumblr accounts
:tumblr {:access-keys
{:consumer_key "XXXX"
:consumer_secret "XXXX"
:token "XXXX"
:token_secret "XXXX"}
:accounts ["cyberpunky.tumblr.com" "scipunk.tumblr.com"]}
;; add RSS config to follow feeds
:rss {"Hacker News" "https://hnrss.org/newest"
"r/Clojure" "https://www.reddit.com/r/clojure/.rss"}
:mastodon {:access_token "XXXX"
:api_url "https://botsin.space/api/v1/"
:max-post-length 300}}
```
* the bot looks for `config.edn` at its relative path by default, an alternative location can be specified either using the `MASTODON_BOT_CONFIG` environment variable or passing the path to config as an argument
* run the bot: `./mastodon-bot.cljs`
* to poll at intervals setup a cron job such as:
*/30 * * * * mastodon-bot.cljs /path/to/config.edn > /dev/null 2>& 1
