Past simple

that picked a random number between zero and 90,

generated this fractal tree using that angle,

using this coding train bot at bots in space,

bots in dot space, whatever, botsinspace.instance.

to generate the image and post it once a day.

In fact, I'm not ever going to post an image.

and send them back a tree with that angle.

I mean, one of my favorites, this is a Twitter bot,

but one of my favorite bots is Lowpoly Bot.

One of the reasons why I'm using Mastodon

is that you can't really run these anymore on Twitter.

They've changed the API specifications too much.

So, the idea is that, you send in an image,

and an image processes for you and sends it back, okay.

So, I want to connect to the streaming API,

and I want to connect to the user stream,

meaning any time I get any sort of notification,

somebody favorites something, somebody mentions me,

re blogs me, if I post something, I think I get an event,

so the way that I do that is by saying M.stream.

Right, I have to go look it up here in this API.

I've done this already in a previous video.

Sorry, let's just go to examples, streaming.js.

So, this is what I want to do, I want to connect to the stream.

like a notification, is that what it was?

from the chat, thank you to Alca in the chat,

that the streaming API doesn't support promises.

So in this case, I do have to use a call back

and I can say response, I like to use the word response,

Now I do want to look up my previous code

I need to determine what I'm looking for in that response.

and if it's a mention, that's what I'm looking for.

So I'm going to say if response.event equals a notification.

And response.data.type I think equals mention.

I should be just looking at my previous code.

So where is the mention in this one that I did?

Message .data.type so I'm using different variable names,

which is fine, but if the event is a notification

then, now, I am ready to basically do this.

The idea is if I'm mentioned, go ahead and do this.

But, and I don't need a separate function for this.

So for example, I probably want to mention

a user account and I want to have a reply id

I want to at mention them, so I need their account

so I can include that, and then the angle I want.
