[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: `curl -s "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest" | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); deals=d if isinstance(d,list) else d.get('deals',[]); [print(f\"{x['id']}|{x.get('title','')[:60]}|${x.get('price','')}|{x.get('discount_percentage',0)}%\") for x in deals[:15]]"`
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 — 2:27 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 post a deal to X and Pinterest. Let me follow the workflow:

1. First, fetch deals from the API
2. Check which ones have been posted
3. Pick an unposted deal (50%+ off, popular brand, limited time, freebies, under $10)
4. Download share image
5. Build tweet
6. Validate tweet
7. Post to X via Maya VM
8. Post to Pinterest via Maya VM
9. Record the post
10. Log in memory

Let me start by fetching the deals.

exec

curl -s "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest" | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); deals=d if isinstance(d,list) else d.get('deals',[]); [print(f\"{x['id']}|{x.get('title','')[:60]}|\${x.get('price','')}|{x.get('discount_percentage',0)}%\") for x in deals[:15]]"

The API returned empty. Let me try with http instead of https or check the API endpoint.

curl -s "http://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest" | python3 -c "import sys,json; d=json.load(sys.stdin); deals=d if isinstance(d,list) else d.get('deals',[]); [print(f\"{x['id']}|{x.get('title','')[:60]}|\${x.get('price','')}|{x.get('discount_percentage',0)}%\") for x in deals[:15]]"


Let me check the raw output from curl to see what's happening.

curl -s "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=5&sort=newest" 2>&1 | head -200


(no output)


No output at all. Let me try with verbose mode.

Got the deals. Now let me check which ones have been posted and pick a good candidate. The **Zaffi Taffy Sugar Free Candy** at $3.22 (53% off) looks perfect - under $10, good discount, popular brand.

python3 scripts/posted_db.py check 33926 x

Zaffi Taffy already posted. Checking Michel et Augustin Cookies ($5.69):

python3 scripts/posted_db.py check 33935 x

- Sanrio Cloud Pillows (33921) - $10, popular brand
- The Annotated Little Women (33914) - $2.99, 77% off

But Michel et Augustin is a good pick - gourmet cookies at a low price. Let me get more info on it and create the tweet.

Unposted! Let me also check the Sanrio pillows and the book deal for alternatives:

python3 scripts/posted_db.py check 33921 x && python3 scripts/posted_db.py check 33914 x


POSTED:NO
POSTED:YES
