Generally, yes, the path to righteousness is via federated open protocols, and I see no reason that would be different in posting weather. But seriously, that is what people are generally doing (in a broader than weewx context). Strictly, you don't need mastodon, but ActivityPub, but if the server you want to use is mastodon you don't have to figure out that nuance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Weewx Send data to Twitter Account
I used to use Weewx Twitter extension
(https://github.com/matthewwall/weewx-twitter).
Am I right to say it no longer works now with Twitter, unless you have a
paid API subscription?
```
Aug 26 18:16:22 vegan weewx[20951] ERROR user.twitter: Failed attempt 3 of

post, oauth) only. If you need access to this endpoint, you may need a
different access level. You can learn more here:

I suppose the idea is to move to Mastodon

Re: [weewx-user] Re: Weewx Send data to Twitter Account
There may be other ways, but use tags. This is the approach I've taken
with weewx-mastodon.
Using weewx tags ( https://weewx.com/docs/customizing.htm#Tags) in a
template will generate the desired text output.
You would however need to modify the twitter extension to post the
output from a weewx generated template. (see below)
eg:- template (snippet)...
#Weather summary for Yesterday ($yesterday.dateTime.format("%A
%d-%b-%Y")) at
$station.location, Australia: \n
Temp: (min: $yesterday.outTemp.min at $yesterday.outTemp.mintime)
(max: $yesterday.outTemp.max at $yesterday.outTemp.maxtime)
will generate the following text...
#Weather summary for Yesterday (Monday 23-Jan-2023) at
Messmate Farm, Broomfield, Victoria, Australia: \n
Temp: (min: 11.6C at 06:35:01) (max: 35.1C at 16:46:02)
https://github.com/glennmckechnie/weewx-mastodon
If you're familiar with python it should offer a few hints ho w to
post the template rather than the hardcoded format string, especially
as it's a fork of Mathews weewx-twitter extension.
I haven't incoporated the summary in weewx-mastodon - yet. It was on
the mental ToDo list, but it would only need a timing section and some
selection magic.
