# Build an Automated Tweet Scheduling Tool with JavaScript *A tutorial on building a Twitter automation tool in 40 lines of JavaScript code.* By [Shreyvijayvargiya](https://paragraph.com/@shreyvijay) · 2022-11-03 webdev, programming, api, backend, software development --- Under the Hood -------------- The story began when I was scheduling more than five tweets per day. But every time, I have to spend 5 minutes for each tweet. 5 minutes = 1 tweet Ten tweets = 50 minutes/day I thought of saving this time, this work is boring and repetitive, and most importantly, I can automate it. [Hyperfurry](https://hypefury.com/) ----------------------------------- This tool helps you schedule social media marketing, and many people use this product to schedule tweets. But it’s a paid version, and I don’t want to give money for a product that I believe I can somehow develop on my own. Automated Twitter Marketing --------------------------- I started thinking seriously about automating the entire twitter task. After doing some research, I found this npm module that helps post tweets. I can find this module because I have already worked with Twitter v2 API. [Twitter API Documentation](https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-api) If you know nothing about this Twitter API, check the link, it’s an excellent API to work with tweets in whatever fashion you want. [Twitter V2 NPm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/twitter-api-v2) Coming back to the story, I found this npm module to deal directly with Twitter API without paying much attention to the installation process. Plan of action on automating the tweets --------------------------------------- * Develop an API or endpoint that will post the tweet for me. * For scheduling, set the timer for API using the CRON job That’s it. Honestly, it’s not rocket science. I have just added 40 lines of code, as shown in the image below, to automate Twitter marketing: ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/165782e1047c9b238687fae02d1e6e10.png) The endpoint first fetches the data from the database and then uses the CRON job to schedule the tweet time, and using Twitter API v2; I post the tweet at that specific time. Conclusion ---------- This project is not rocket science but a good one to add to your resume, especially if you are a junior developer. List of tasks you can add further: * In addition, senior developers can take this project to the next level by creating a dedicated interface, UI, or website to add tweet content. * You can even use machine learning models to generate the banner image for each tweet to make tweets look more appealing. * You can even use artificial intelligence to create small tweet content using the heading of the tweet pretty intelligent and straightforward. Until next time, have a good day.
