[cron:6dd85dd2-28ce-411f-b2de-8106e314da47 Deal Post - X + Pinterest (every 30 min)] SCHEDULED TASK: Post 1 deal to X and Pinterest using Maya VM twikit/py3-pinterest.

## CRITICAL: Use Maya VM, NOT Fred social-poster
- X: twikit v2.3.3 on Maya VM (`ssh maya@maya`)
- Script: `/home/maya/workspace/scripts/x_twikit_post2.py`
- Cookies: `/home/maya/workspace/x_cookies.json`

## Workflow
1. **Fetch deals with Python (NOT shell pipes with $):**
   ```python3
   import urllib.request, json
   req = urllib.request.Request('https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest', headers={'User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0'})
   data = json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen(req, timeout=15).read())
   deals = data if isinstance(data, list) else data.get('deals', [])
   for d in deals[:15]:
       print(f"{d['id']}|{d.get('title','')[:60]}|PRICE:{d.get('price','')}|{d.get('discount_percentage',0)}%")
   ```
2. Check hash: `python3 scripts/posted_db.py check <deal_id> x`
3. If POSTED:YES — SKIP, pick another
4. Pick unposted deal (50%+ off, popular brand, limited time, freebies, under $10)
5. Download share image: `wget -q "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/share/image/<deal_id>" -O /tmp/deal_img.jpg`
6. **BUILD TWEET:** Hook + value + 5-8 hashtags + link LAST. KEEP UNDER 280 CHARS.
7. **MANDATORY VALIDATION:** `python3 scripts/validate_tweet.py '<tweet_text>'` — If INVALID, STOP and pick different deal.
8. **POST TO X (Maya VM twikit):**
   ```bash
   ssh maya@maya "cat > /tmp/tweet.txt << 'TWEET'
   <tweet text here>
   TWEET"
   scp /tmp/deal_img.jpg maya@maya:/tmp/deal_img.jpg
   ssh maya@maya "python3 /home/maya/workspace/scripts/x_twikit_post2.py <deal_id> --file /tmp/tweet.txt"
   ```
9. **POST TO PINTEREST (Maya VM py3-pinterest):**
   ```bash
   ssh maya@maya "python3 /home/maya/workspace/scripts/pin_post_v2.py <deal_id> '<title>' '<description>' 1134485031073239531"
   ```
10. Record posts: `python3 scripts/posted_db.py record <deal_id> x <tweet_id> <url>`
11. Log in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md

## If X cookies expired
Run: `ssh maya@maya "DISPLAY=:0 python3 /home/maya/workspace/scripts/extract_x_cookies.py"`

## Tweet format (STRICT)
- Hook (emoji + deal highlight)
- Product name + price (with $, e.g., "$12.99")
- 5-8 hashtags
- Link LAST: gottahavecoups.com/deal/<id>
- KEEP UNDER 280 CHARS

## NEVER post if validation fails:
- Shell artifacts (/bin/bash, python3 -c)
- Broken prices (.20 instead of $10.20)
- Broken emojis (�)
- > 280 chars
Current time: Friday, February 13th, 2026 — 3:27 AM (UTC)

Return your summary as plain text; it will be delivered automatically. If the task explicitly calls for messaging a specific external recipient, note who/where it should go instead of sending it yourself.


The user wants me to run a scheduled task to post a deal to X and Pinterest. Let me break down what I need to do:

1. Fetch deals from the API
2. Check which ones haven't been posted yet
3. Pick a good deal (50%+ off, popular brand, etc.)
4. Download the share image
5. Build and validate a tweet
6. Post to X using Maya VM
7. Post to Pinterest using Maya VM
8. Record the post in the database
9. Log the activity

Let me start by fetching the deals and checking which ones are already posted.

I'll execute this scheduled deal post task. Let me fetch deals, find an unposted one, and post to both platforms.

exec

python3 -c "
import urllib.request, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest', headers={'User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0'})
data = json.loads(urllib.urlopen(req, timeout=15).read())
deals = data if isinstance(data, list) else data.get('deals', [])
for d in deals[:15]:
    print(f\"{d['id']}|{d.get('title','')[:60]}|PRICE:{d.get('price','')}|{d.get('discount_percentage',0)}%\")
"


Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 4, in <module>
AttributeError: module 'urllib' has no attribute 'urlopen'

Command exited with code 1


I need to fix the Python code - it should be urllib.request.urlopen not urllib.urlopen.

python3 -c "
import urllib.request, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest', headers={'User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0'})

deals = data if isinstance(data, list) else data.get('deals', [])
for d in deals[:15]:
    print(f\"{d['id']}|{d.get('title','')[:60]}|PRICE:{d.get('price','')}|{d.get('discount_percentage',0)}%\")

I got the deals. Now let me check which ones haven't been posted yet. I see some good candidates with discounts:
- 33968: Revl Fruits Juice - 68% off
- 33969: Book - 76% off
- 33950: Book - 70% off
- 33946: OWYN Protein Shake - 51% off

Let me check these against the posted database to find an unposted deal.

python3 scripts/posted_db.py check 33968 x && python3 scripts/posted_db.py check 33969 x && python3 scripts/posted_db.py check 33950 x && python3 scripts/posted_db.py check 33946 x


POSTED:NO
POSTED:NO
POSTED:NO
POSTED:NO


All of these deals are unposted. Let me get more details on the best ones. The Revl Fruits juice at 68% off (68% off, $20.70) looks like a good candidate. Let me also check the OWYN protein shake at 51% off.

Let me fetch more details on these deals to build a good tweet. I'll go with the Revl Fruits deal since it has a high discount (68%) and is a consumable product that people buy regularly.

python3 -c "
import urllib.request, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals/33968', headers={'User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0'})

Amazon price drop:Revl Fruits 100% Juice,No Add...,32 fl oz.Carton (Pack of 6) - down 68.90% ($45.86) to $20.70 from $66.56


Great deal! 68% off, saving $45.86 on a 6-pack of Revl Fruits 100% Juice. This is a hot deal and under $25. Let me download the share image and build a tweet.

wget -q "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/share/image/33968" -O /tmp/deal_img.jpg && ls -la /tmp/deal_img.jpg


-rw-rw-r-- 1 crogers2287 crogers2287 79447 Feb 13 03:27 /tmp/deal_img.jpg


Good, the image is downloaded. Now let me build a tweet for this deal. I need:
- Hook (emoji + deal highlight)
- Product name + price
- 5-8 hashtags
- Link LAST: gottahavecoups.com/deal/<id>
- KEEP UNDER 280 CHARS

Let me draft:

The single quotes in the description are causing issues with the shell escaping. Let me fix the escaping or use a different approach.
