The tweet.js script opens X (Twitter) in Playwright, logs in (or uses saved state from twitter-auth.json), and posts a tweet. The post text comes from TWEET_TEXT.

• Node.js 18+ and npm
• Playwright browsers installed: npm install and npx playwright install
• X account with username/password and optionally a TOTP secret for 2FA

1. Install dependencies and browsers:

   npm install
   npx playwright install

2. Copy and fill env vars:

   cp .env.example .env

   In .env, set TWITTER_USERNAME and TWITTER_PASSWORD. For 2FA you can add TWITTER_2FA_SECRET (TOTP secret) or a one-time TWITTER_2FA_CODE.

• TWEET_TEXT — post text (default: "Привет, X!").
• BROWSER — chromium (default) or webkit.
• HEADLESS — true|false; with MANUAL_LOGIN=true the window is always visible.
• MANUAL_LOGIN — true|false; when true, log in manually in the opened browser, then press Enter in the terminal.
• TWITTER_USERNAME, TWITTER_PASSWORD — used for automatic login (MANUAL_LOGIN=false).
• TWITTER_2FA_SECRET or TWITTER_2FA_CODE — pass 2FA without manual input.
• Session persists to twitter-auth.json next to the script.

Auto-login with creds from .env:

TWEET_TEXT="Post via Playwright" npm run tweet

First run with manual login (if there are captchas/confirmations):

MANUAL_LOGIN=true HEADLESS=false npm run tweet
# log in in the opened browser, return to the terminal and press Enter

Subsequent background run using saved session:

HEADLESS=true TWEET_TEXT="New post" npm run tweet

Delete twitter-auth.json to log in again (manual or automatic).
