10# How it works
11- each bot is launched every 35 seconds, so the bot1 is launched at time 0, the bot2 is launched at time 35s, the bot3 is launched at time 1:10 minutes, etc
12- the bots are running in parallel
13- each bot streams the Twitter API getting the tweets containing one or more keywords configured in the file keywordsConfig.json
14- then, the bot randomly gets a reply from the file repliesConfig.json
15- after a bot replies a tweet, the bot 'sleeps' 1 minute, to avoid the Twitter API limitation
16
17Needs the files:
18```
19botsConfig.json     --> contains the tokens of the bots
20keywordsConfig.json --> contains the keywords to track from Twitter API
21repliesConfig.json  --> contains the replies
22```
23
24Just need to configure (deleting the word 'DEMO' from the filenames):
