About The Project

Being French, I was looking for crypto daily news and analytics on French Twitter accounts in my feed. However, except one or two news' sources, few accounts commented events on a daily basis as well as analyzed technical indicators. This is why I had an idea about a bot that scrapes and retrieves diverse data not only from several twitter accounts, but also from CryptoPanic. Aditionnally, the bot automatically translates the info in foreign languages using Deepl API.

Here's why:

• Your time should be focused on the most reliable and important news. A project that helps others being kept updated of this fast-paced crypto-world.
• You shouldn't be doing the same tasks over and over like (re)tweeting and translating news and analytics.

The bot is specifically tailored for my case (being French and chose my news' sources). I'll be adding more in the near future. You may also suggest changes by forking this repo and creating a pull request or opening an issue.
