i want to write an application, which achieves to pull tweets from twitter and sends them into a discourse topic.
So what i need:



A method which has a flex since datetime.
A method which pulls the tweets from twitter in an appropriate timeframe
A method which sends tweets to a selected Discourse Topic
A method which checks if the Tweets (or the Tweeturl) was posted before in the topic, to avoid getting the same tweets everytime
A possibility to automize the script running every 10 secs or something like that (probably sidekiq)



What i already got:






require 'bundler/setup'
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
require 'twitter'
module GetTweet
class Error < StandardError
end

def self.date
date = Time.new
#set 'date' equal to the current date/time.
date = date.year.to_s + "-" + date.month.to_s + "-" + (date.day - 1).to_s
#Without this it will output 2015-01-10 11:33:05 +0000; this formats it to display DD/MM/YYYY
end

$tweeturls = Array.new

def self.catch_tweets
client = Twitter::REST::Client.new do |config|
config.consumer_key = "KAKAKAKAKAKAKAA"
config.consumer_secret = "jKAKAKAKAKAKAKAA"
config.access_token = "9KAKAKAKAKAKAKAA"
config.access_token_secret = "KAKAKAKAKAKAKAA"
end
# getting all tweets in a hashmap with "mention" without retweet in option timeframe
tweets = client.search("Bastiilange -rt", since: "#date", until: "2018-11-15")
# put the hashmap into an sorted array
sorted_tweets = tweets.sort_by tweet.created_at
# give me every uniq tweet
sorted_tweets.uniq.each do |tweet|
tweet = tweet.url
if $tweeturls.include?(tweet)
else
$tweeturls.push(tweet)
end
end
end
catch_tweets
puts $tweeturls
end





So tweeturls is supposed to be an array which all tweet urls saved in it
and that seems to work fine!






require 'net/http'
require 'uri'
require_relative 'get_tweet'

INSTANCE_URL = 'XXXXX'
API_USERNAME = 'XXXX'
API_KEY = 'XXXX'

def self.send_request

def self.tweet_url
$tweeturls.each do |tweet|
@tweet = tweet.
end
end

url = URI.parse(INSTANCE_URL)
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url.path)
request.set_form_data('api_username' => API_USERNAME, 'api_key' => API_KEY, 'title' => "Neuer Post", 'topic_id' => 8, 'raw' => "#tweet_url")
http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
http.use_ssl = true
response = http.request(request)

puts response.code

end

send_request





Thats working as well, okay i guess. At the moment i get more than only the URL of the tweet by calling the method, which is unfortunate, but i think fixable. My biggest concern is, that i have to automate the script (will be a plugin later) and make sure that its not getting the old tweets again and again which are in the timeframe. I could make something like a Time.now - but i think the TwitterApi isnt that accurate that this would work properly right? Or i create a third method to get all posts from discourse topic and compare the arrays and merge them into an uniq one. But i am pretty sure that wouldnt be a wise solution, for many reasons.
I would love to hear suggestions how i could make that better!
