[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 — 12:57 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.


This is a scheduled cron task to post a deal to X (Twitter) and Pinterest. Let me follow the workflow step by step.

1. First, I need to 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 to memory file

Let me start by fetching the deals.

I'll execute this scheduled deal post task. Let me start by fetching the latest deals and checking which ones haven't been posted yet.

The API call failed - seems like it returned empty or invalid response. Let me try a different approach to fetch deals. Maybe I need to check if the API is available or try a simpler request.

Let me try fetching the deals with a simpler approach:


(no output)


The API seems to be returning empty response. Let me try checking if the website is accessible or if there's an issue with the API endpoint.

curl -s -w "\nHTTP_CODE:%{http_code}\n" "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest"


It's returning a 307 redirect. Let me follow the redirect with -L flag.

Good, I got the deals. Now I need to check which ones haven't been posted yet. Let me look at the posted_deals.json to see what's been posted. From what I saw earlier, deals 33820, 33838, 33850, 33854, 33841, 33858, 33862, 33877, 33867 have been posted.

Looking at the deals list:
- 33908 - 40% off - Furinno furniture
- 33907 - 67% off - book about hashtags
- 33909 - Kirkland trash bags (no discount %)
- 33905 - Under cabinet lights $10
- 33899 - LEGO Lion King $15.99
- 33900 - Carolina Herrera perfume $19.67
- 33901 - Bounty paper towels $9.99
- 33906 - Arctic Zone lunch box $9.22
- 33893 - Silicone stove mat $3.49
- 33885 - 80% off - Offside hockey romance book $0.99
- 33891 - Avery dividers 59% off $11
- 33887 - Dr. Scholl's insoles $6.64
- 33886 - Hot Wheels Batman cars $20
- 33903 - Athletic Works tote bag $13
- 33904 - Rubbermaid Brilliance set $19.99
- 33892 - Dearfoams "Sundays Are For Football" scuff slippers $5.99 (this looks good for the image shown!)
- 33898 - Milwaukee flood light $122.99
- 33874 - Ninja Crispi air fryer $108.56
- 33880 - Walmart cupcake bouquet $20
- 33872 - Men's tees from $3.45

The image shows the "Sundays Are For Football" slippers which is deal 33892 at $5.99.

I'll investigate this deal's posting status carefully. The football-themed slippers caught my eye - it's a fun seasonal item that could be perfect for an upcoming post. I'll verify if it's already been shared or if it's fresh content waiting to be highlighted.

Got the deals. Let me check which ones haven't been posted and pick a good one:


POSTED:NO
POSTED:NO
POSTED:NO
POSTED:NO
POSTED:YES
POSTED:NO
POSTED:NO
POSTED:YES
POSTED:YES
POSTED:NO
POSTED:YES
POSTED:NO
POSTED:NO


OK so:
- 33908: NO (40% off furniture)
- 33907: NO (67% off book - not exciting)
- 33905: NO ($10 cabinet lights)
- 33899: NO (LEGO Lion King $15.99)
- 33900: YES (already posted)
- 33906: NO ($9.22 lunch box)
- 33893: NO ($3.49 stove mat)
- 33885: YES (already posted - this was the 80% off book)
- 33891: YES (already posted - Avery dividers)
- 33887: NO ($6.64 insoles)
- 33892: YES (already posted - this was the football slippers from the image)
- 33903: NO ($13 tote bag)
- 33904: NO ($19.99 Rubbermaid set)

So the unposted deals with good potential are:
- 33899: LEGO Disney Lion King 222-piece set $15.99 - this is a good branded item
- 33905: $10 under cabinet lights - practical, under $10
- 33908: $17.86 furniture (40% off)
- 33903: $13 tote bag
- 33904: $19.99 Rubbermaid 12-piece set

The image shows deal 33892 (the football slippers) but that's already been posted. Let me pick a new deal - LEGO Lion King (33899) is a good choice - recognizable brand, good for kids/collectors, decent price point. Let me get more details on it.

The football slippers (33892) from the image are already posted. Let me pick the LEGO Lion King deal (33899) - it's a recognizable brand and appeals to parents/collectors:
