[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: Thursday, February 12th, 2026 — 7:27 PM (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 execute a scheduled cron task to post a deal to X and Pinterest. Let me break down the workflow:

1. Fetch deals from the API
2. Check if deals have been posted already
3. Pick an unposted deal (50%+ off, popular brand, limited time, freebies, under $10)
4. Download the share image
5. Build a tweet (under 280 chars, hook + value + 5-8 hashtags + link LAST)
6. Validate the tweet
7. Post to X using Maya VM twikit
8. Post to Pinterest using Maya VM py3-pinterest
9. Record the posts

Let me start by fetching deals and checking which ones haven't been posted yet.

I'll execute this scheduled deal post. Let me start by fetching deals and checking what's available.

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)}%|{x.get('original_price','')}\") for x in deals[:15]]"


/bin/bash: line 1: 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)}%|{x.get('original_price','')}") for x in deals[:15]]: bad substitution

Command exited with code 1


The bash is interpreting the command. Let me try a different approach - save the Python script to a file or use a simpler method.

Let me use a Python script file instead:

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

Command exited with code 1


The curl returned empty. Let me check if the API is reachable.

curl -s "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest" 2>&1 | head -c 2000


(no output)


The API seems to be returning empty. Let me check if there's a different approach or if the website needs to be accessed differently. Let me try with the full URL including protocol handling.

curl -sL "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest" -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0" 2>&1

Good, I got the deals. Let me parse them and check which ones have been posted. I'll extract the deal IDs and check them against the posted database.

From the API response, here are some good candidates:
1. 33877 - Titoclar 10-Color DIY Water Marbling Paint Craft Complete Kit $9.95 (42% off) - UNDER $10!
2. 33862 - D'Lish Deviled Eggs cookbook $1.99 (was $7.99, 75% off) - UNDER $10!
3. 33867 - Squishmallows Toddler Slippers $5 (regularly $16) - UNDER $10!
4. 33872 - Men's Tees from $3.45 - UNDER $10!
5. 33858 - Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm $8.78 (49% off) - UNDER $10!

Let me check these deals against the posted database. I'll start by checking which ones haven't been posted yet.

Good, got the deals. Now let me check which ones haven't been posted yet:

echo "33877
33862
33867
33872
33858" | xargs -I {} python3 scripts/posted_db.py check {} x


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


So:
- 33877 (Titoclar Water Marbling Kit) - POSTED:YES
- 33862 (Deviled Eggs Cookbook) - POSTED:YES
- 33867 (Squishmallows Toddler Slippers $5) - POSTED:NO - Good candidate!
- 33872 (Men's Tees from $3.45) - POSTED:NO - Good candidate!
- 33858 (Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm) - POSTED:YES

So I have two good candidates:
1. 33867 - Squishmallows Toddler Slippers Only $5 on Walmart.com (Regularly $16) - This is a great deal! Under $10, popular brand (Squishmallows), 69% off implicitly.
2. 33872 - Men's Tees, Sweaters & More from $3.45 on Walmart.com

The Squishmallows deal is better - it's a specific popular product with a clear price point. Let me use deal 33867.

Now I need to:
1. Download the share image
2. Build a tweet
3. Validate it
4. Post to X via Maya VM
5. Post to Pinterest via Maya VM
6. Record the posts

Found unposted deals. The **Squishmallows Toddler Slippers $5** (deal 33867) is a great pick - popular brand, under $10, implied ~69% off. Let me download the image and build the post:
