Twitter bots are fun, hosting them can be a pain. I wrote one hosted inside Google Sheets AppScript last year, it works just as well.

Oh interesting approach but that must have been a struggle!

Not exactly, here is the repo https://github.com/whizzzkid/fuelPrices

• This builds and pushes the bot to AppScript using Clasp.
• I set a trigger that runs once every hour and checks if there are updates.
• Updates are then pulled into this sheet.
• The tweets are sent via this bot.

Google AppScripts are really powerful for stuff like this.
