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.
