API implementation for registering politically inclined bots as described by @yaso in the following text: https://jota.info/artigos/um-lugar-para-os-robos-nas-eleicoes-20112017
Bots have been shown to have had major impact for multiple purposes in the last few years, and with politics it's no different. Instead of forbidding bots, however (as some politicians have proposed), it is much better for everyone to have them work but be registered to a public API from which anyone is able to query in real time whether a twitter user is a bot or not and to whom it belongs.
Currently implementing the airBnB code style, though suggestions are welcome https://github.com/airbnb/javascript)
Heroku's link will be here soon
clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/teogenesmoura/politicalBots.git
Install dependencies
npm install
Change the MongoDB connection URL to your URL
run :)
sudo nodemon index.js
/createBot
@params: name, party, url, repo, developer, additionalDetails
@returns: "Bot created sucessfully" if sucessful, "Bot not created sucessfully" otherwise
In order to create bots, open up your terminal and input the following:
curl --data "name=testBot&party=YOUR_PARTY_NAME&url=BOT_URL&repo=REPO_URL&developer=DEVELOPER_NAME&additionalDetails=ADD_DETAILS" http://localhost:3000/createBot
/getBot/:name
@params: name
@returns: "bot ' + botName + 'was found on the database:' + bot"
In order to retrieve a bot, input the following to your terminal:
curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET http://localhost:3000/getBot/YOUR_BOT_NAME
Node JS/Express JS ES6
There are multiple possible contributions and I'll update this section as soon as I have a solid list. For now, there is a lot of code cleaning that needs to take place, as well as conforming the codebase to the AirBnB style as well as increasing test coverage and change remaining ES5 to ES6.
