The Android app is now available on the play store! You can find it here or by searching for TrumpBot.

A long long time after the hackathon, we eventually built a web version. We used Vue.js to create the application. Try it out here

Response: API Working

This is just a test to determine whether the API is online.

This will return a completely random sentence.

You can customise it by sending a parameter:

?q=<SENTENCE>

• Tensorflow didn't seem to work, so after many hours of attempted (and failed) bug fixes, we switched from LSTM networks to simple Markov Chains.
• Twitter has a limit on the number of tweets you can download. An alternative method of harvesting tweets was found.

• Python 3.5.2
• Flask Python Package
• Twython Python Package
• h5py Python Package
• scipy Python Package
• Ngrok (temporary, for tunelling local server to the internet)
• OhmGeek's fork of markov-sentence-generator (for generating the sentences)

On Linux, simply open terminal, navigate to the folder where run.sh is located

$ cd /path/to/server/

Make sure run.sh is executable (note: this requires root)

$ chmod +x run.sh

Finally, run the script

$ ./run.sh

To use Twilio, you will need to create an account, and go through all the Twilio sign up procedure (including gettting a phone number).

Once you have done this, go to the phone.py script and enter the URI of the main bot server.

$ python3 phone.py

This will run the phone server. Then enter the URI of the phone server in the section called 'Web Hooks' on Twilio.
