[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 — 10:27 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 (Twitter) and Pinterest using the Maya VM. Let me follow the workflow step by step.

1. First, I need to fetch deals using Python (not shell pipes)
2. Check if the deal has been posted before
3. Pick an unposted deal
4. Download the share image
5. Build a tweet and validate it
6. Post to X and Pinterest via Maya VM
7. Record the post

Let me start by fetching deals.

I'll execute the deal posting workflow. Let me start by fetching the latest deals and checking which ones are unposted.

Good, I have the deals. Now let me check which ones have already been posted. I'll check a few promising deals - the ones with high discounts or good prices. Let me check the posted_db.py script to see the usage first.

The tweet is validated - 277 characters, under 280. Now I need to:
1. Copy the tweet file to Maya VM
2. Copy the image to Maya VM
3. Post to X using twikit
4. Post to Pinterest
5. Record the posts

Let me do this step by step.

Tweet validated! Now posting to X via Maya VM:

Good, the image was copied. Now let me create the tweet file on Maya and post it.

The heredoc syntax didn't work properly with the quotes. Let me try a different approach - I'll use echo or a different method to create the file.

Both posts were successful! Now I need to:
1. Record the posts in the database
2. Log in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md

Let me record the X post first.

Both posts successful! Recording to database:

python3 scripts/posted_db.py record 34085 x 2022256440899969147 https://x.com/GottaHaveCoups/status/2022256440899969147


Recorded 34085 for x


Now I need to log this to memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md. Let me create today's memory file.

Now logging to memory:

The heredoc syntax is having issues. Let me use a different approach - write the file using echo or python.

The escaping is tricky. Let me use a Python script to write the file instead.

python3 -c "
