Commune Bot

A friendly Twitter bot built with Munibot that tweets aerial pictures of France's communes.

Install and setup

Install it with pip:

pip install communebot-fr

And follow the instructions on Munibot's documentation regarding configuration and setup.

This particular bot requires:

• An IGN geoservices key to access the WMS service, which you can obtain here
• The backend SQLite database with communes data, which you can download from this repo (data folder)

Both these should be referenced in the [profile:fr] section of your munibot.ini file:

[profile:fr]
ign_key=CHANGE_ME
twitter_key=CHANGE_ME
twitter_secret=CHANGE_ME
db_path=/path/to/data/communes_fr.sqlite

Patches

As of April 2021 this bot requires a patch in OWSLib to be able to send headers as part of the WMS GetMap requests. The patch is included in the data folder.
