[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 — 5:57 AM (UTC)

The user wants me to execute a scheduled cron task to post a deal to X and Pinterest. Let me follow the workflow carefully.

First, I need to:
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 posts

Let me start by fetching deals and checking the posted database.

I'll execute this scheduled deal post task. Let me start by fetching deals and checking what's already been posted.

exec

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 see the Python command had a typo - it should be `urllib.request.urlopen` not `urllib.urlopen`. Let me fix that and fetch the deals properly. I also see which deals have been posted recently.

Let me fix the Python command and fetch deals:

Now I have the deals. Let me check which ones haven't been posted yet by looking at the posted_deals.json. From what I can see:

Already posted to X: 33985, 33998
Not posted yet that look good:
- 34001: "Under the Broken Sky" - $2.99, 70% off
- 34005: "The Essential Vegan Indian Cookbook" - $2.99, 73% off
- 34003: "The Cook's Own Book" - $2.99, 80% off
- 34004: Crescent Lufkin tape measure - $7.92, 44% off

Let me check these against the database using the posted_db.py script.

Now let me check which deals haven't been posted yet:

cd /home/crogers2287/.openclaw/workspace-ghc-marketing && python3 scripts/posted_db.py check 34001 x && python3 scripts/posted_db.py check 34005 x && python3 scripts/posted_db.py check 34003 x && python3 scripts/posted_db.py check 34004 x


POSTED:NO
POSTED:NO

All these deals haven't been posted. Let me pick one with good discount (50%+) and under $10. Looking at the options:
- 34001: "Under the Broken Sky" - $2.99, 70% off
- 34005: "The Essential Vegan Indian Cookbook" - $2.99, 73% off
- 34003: "The Cook's Own Book" - $2.99, 80% off

These are all books under $3 with 70%+ off. Let me pick 34005 - The Essential Vegan Indian Cookbook at 73% off. It's a cookbook which is popular content.

Let me get more details about this deal and download the image.
