Tool to mass DM followers on Twitter in Go

Sachin Sunkle

Background

I recently came across bounty by Balaji Srinivasan to send Direct Message to all twitter followers. Currently, i do not intend to participate in bounty and this is mere exercise.

This is an attempt to write CLI tool in Golang in response to it.

For detailed requirements, refer here

Approach

In Brief,

  • CLI should,

    • accept arguments like Twitter API Key,Auth token, DM Message
    • Download all followers (with profile details)
    • Rank them by Criteria (e.g. Location)
    • Send each follower a DM with provided message (upto daily DM Limit)
    • be easy to use and maintain

  • Notes,
