Boston Perl Mongers (Boston.pm) <https://www.meetup.com/Boston-pm/> Tuesday, May 10, 2022 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM EDT Every 2nd Tuesday of the month (on JITSI) Using Perl's Twitter::API
Bill Ricker, inspired by Ricky's talk on archival web scraping last month, revisits the *Twitter::API*. One script is a daemon used to automatically retweet useful announcements posted to a monitored Twitter account. The other will archive a Twitter thread in text format (and can safely be re-run when the tread gets longer). It avoids depending on a 3rd party service, which use tracking, ads, and might disappear, to host the archived thread. This is a virtual meeting. Run this Perl code to generate the JITSI secure URL , or check the MeetUp listing, or DM me. perl -MDigest::SHA=sha1_hex -MPOSIX=strftime -le 'print strftime "%Y/%m/%d week %U", localtime; $date=strftime "Y%Y W%U", localtime; print $date; print "https://meet.jit.si/BostonPM-".sha1_hex("BostonPM".$date);' If this URL doesn't work in Firefox, try Chrome/Chromium.
