Twitter Bot

A Twitter based bot for a leading Mutual Fund client which supplies the user a Direct Message with the current values of a desired fund when a tweet with a designated shortcode is sent. Used Python scripts to scrape updated fund values daily and store them in a backend system, to ensure correctness of data provided to the end-user. Ran a cron-job on a server to periodically check for tweets sent to the page, and in case of a tweet received, the direct message response mechanism was written in Python to ensure that the desired fund values are sent to the correct user.
