Usage

usage: autopost [-h] [-V] [-v] [--dry-run] [--config-file CONFIG_FILE] {manual,atom} ...

auto-posts social media updates

positional arguments:
  {manual,atom}
    manual              auto-post manually
    atom                auto-post from an Atom RSS feed

  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -V, --version         show program's version number and exit
  -v, --verbose         be more verbose while running (default: False)
  --dry-run             perform a dry-run (default: False)
  --config-file CONFIG_FILE
                        the file to load for configuration (default: ./autopost.toml)

Examples

To do anything meaningful with autopost, you'll need to configure it. See autopost.example.toml for an example configuration file.

Once configured, you can use autopost to make a post manually:

$ autopost manual "test" --url "https://example.com" --tags foo bar
🎉 reddit:/r/enosuchblog: https://reddit.com/r/enosuchblog/comments/zldk8y/test/
🎉 mastodon:@yossarian@infosec.exchange: https://infosec.exchange/@yossarian/109509443715725349

...where --tags is optional.

Alternatively, you can use autopost atom to retrieve a post from an Atom-style RSS feed:

autopost atom https://example.com/feed.xml

In both cases, you can pass --dry-run to see what autopost would post instead of actually doing it:

$ autopost --dry-run atom https://blog.yossarian.net/feed.xml
dry run: would have posted Modernizing my 1980s sound system with URL:
https://blog.yossarian.net/2022/11/07/Modernizing-my-1980s-sound-system and tags: ['howto', 'workflow', 'music']
