SpursGifs_xposterbot

Reddit bot I started writing while sitting bored in a hotel room for x-posting gifs/vines/gyfcats from /r/coys to /r/SpursGifs.

Basic flow

• Runs on Heroku, using the free scheduler. Checking once/hour for now.
• Xposts to /r/SpursGifs (converts to gfycat first if it's a gif or vine)
• Comments on the new post giving credit to the OP
• Comments on the original post linking the x-posted submission

TODO

• Use a DB on heroku for caching there (local pickle file doesn't persist between runs) Done!
• Convert gifs to gfycat Done!
• Cache previously gfycat'd urls. Done!
• Use gfycat's API for checking to see if a gif was already converted. Minor, and I think their API already does this server-side Not necessary, they handle this already internally.
• Convert Vine videos to gfycat (for consistency/convenience) Done!
