Config files

See the bots.yaml file for a full list of settings. Plug your settings in and save the file as bots.yaml to your home directory or ~/bots. You can also use JSON, if that’s your thing.

At a minimum, your config file will need to look like this:

apps:
    example_app_name:
        consumer_key: ...
        consumer_secret: ...

users:
    example_screen_name:

        key: ...
        secret: ...

        app: example_app_name

        # If you want your bot to continue to learn, include this
        parent: your_screen_name
