Twitter to Discord Webhook

This script posts Twitter feeds to a Discord webhook via a Nitter RSS feed. Notably, this script supports translation of the tweets using DeepL and replaces the tweet links with fxtwitter/FixTweet for better Discord embeds. Note that Nitter RSS is not supported by every instance of Nitter - you can view a list of supported instances here.

Usage

• Clone this repo
• Create a settings.json file based on settings.example.json with your settings. You can simply copy the example file and rename it.
• Install dependencies: pnpm install
• Run the script: npm start

Important

This script only works on Node versions 18 and above.

Settings

The settings.json file contains the following configuration:

{
  "settings": {
    "interval_minutes": "5",
    "seconds_between_feeds": "15",
    "deepl_api_key": "apikey"
  },
  "feeds": [
    {
      "rss": "https://nitter.poast.org/Reuters/rss",
      "webhook": "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/asdfg",
      "translate": "en"
    }
  ]
}

Settings

• interval_minutes - How often to check feeds, in minutes. Default is 5.
• seconds_between_feeds - How long to wait between checking each feed, in seconds. Default is 15. This is to prevent rate limiting.
• deepl_api_key - API key for DeepL translation. Get one for free at https://www.deepl.com/pro-api/.

Feeds

The feeds array contains objects with the following properties:

• rss - The Nitter RSS feed URL to check.
• webhook - The Discord webhook URL to post to.
• translate - (Optional) Language code to translate the post to before sending. Uses DeepL translation.

Any number of feeds can be added to the array.
