Untappd to Mastodon - Updated!

A few years ago, I wrote some code to post Untappd check-ins to Mastodon. I've recently updated it to also post a photo of the beer you're enjoying.

First up, you'll need a file called config.py to hold all your API keys:

 Python 3instance = "https://mastodon.social"

access_token          = "…"

write_access_token    = "…"

untappd_client_id     = "…"

untappd_client_secret = "…"

Then a file called untappd2mastodon.py to do the job of grabbing your data, finding your latest check-in, then posting it to the Fediverse:

 Python 3#!/usr/bin/env python

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-



from mastodon import Mastodon

import json

import requests

import config



#  Set up access

mastodon = Mastodon( api_base_url=config.instance, access_token=config.write_access_token )



#       Untappd API

untappd_api_url = 'https://api.untappd.com/v4/user/checkins/edent?client_id=' + config.untappd_client_id + '&client_secret='+ config.untappd_client_secret



r = requests.get(untappd_api_url)



untappd_data = r.json()



#       Latest checkin object

checkin = untappd_data["response"]["checkins"]["items"][0]

untappd_id = checkin["checkin_id"]



#       Was this ID the last one we saw?

check_file = open("untappd_last", "r")

last_id = int( check_file.read() )

print("Found " + str(last_id) )

check_file.close()



if (last_id != untappd_id ) :

        print("Found new checkin")

        check_file = open("untappd_last", "w")

        check_file.write( str(untappd_id) )

        check_file.close()

        #       Start creating the message

        message = ""



        if "checkin_comment" in checkin :

                message += checkin["checkin_comment"]



        if "beer" in checkin :

                message += "\nDrinking: " + checkin["beer"]["beer_name"]



        if "brewery" in checkin :

                message += "\nBy: "       + checkin["brewery"]["brewery_name"]



        if "venue" in checkin :

                if "venue_name" in checkin["venue"] :

                        message += "\nAt: "       + checkin["venue"]["venue_name"]

        #       Scores etc

        untappd_checkin_url = "https://untappd.com/user/edent/checkin/" + str(untappd_id)

        untappd_rating      = checkin["rating_score"]

        untappd_score       = "🍺" * int(untappd_rating)



        message += "\n" +  untappd_score + "\n" + untappd_checkin_url + "\n" + "#untappd"



        #       Get Image

        if checkin["media"]["count"] > 0 :

                photo_url = checkin["media"]["items"][0]["photo"]["photo_img_lg"]

                download = requests.get(photo_url)

                with open("untappd.tmp", 'wb') as temp_file:

                        temp_file.write(download.content)

                media = mastodon.media_post("untappd.tmp", description="A photo of some beer.")

                mastodon.status_post(status = message, media_ids=media, idempotency_key = str(untappd_id))

        else:   

                #       Post to Mastodon. Use idempotency just in case something went wrong

                mastodon.status_post(status = message, idempotency_key = str(untappd_id))

else :

        print("No new checkin")

You can treat this code as being MIT licenced if that makes you happy.
