[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 — 12:27 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 execute 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 have been posted already
3. Pick an unposted deal (preferably 50%+ off, popular brand, etc.)
4. Download the share image
5. Build a tweet and validate it
6. Post to X using Maya VM
7. Post to Pinterest using Maya VM
8. Record the posts

Let me start by fetching the deals.

I'll execute the deal posting workflow. Let me start by fetching the latest 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]]"


/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)}%") for x in deals[:15]]: bad substitution

Command exited with code 1


The bash command is having issues with the Python one-liner due to quote escaping. Let me use a different approach - save the Python script to a file or use a simpler approach.

Let me use a different approach with proper escaping:

curl -s "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest" -o /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)}%")
PYEOF

The API call might not be returning valid JSON or there's an issue with the request. Let me check what the API returns.

Let me check what the API is returning:

curl -s "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest" -o /tmp/deals.json && head -c 500 /tmp/deals.json


(no output)


The file might be empty or there's an issue with the API. Let me check if the file exists and its size, and also try a direct curl without saving to file.

curl -v "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest" 2>&1 | head -100

The API is returning a 307 redirect to the same URL but with a trailing slash. I need to follow the redirect by using curl's -L flag or updating the URL.

The API returns a 307 redirect. Let me follow it:

curl -sL "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest" -o /tmp/deals.json && cat /tmp/deals.json | python3 << 'PYEOF'
import json, sys
d = json.load(sys.stdin)
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)}%")
PYEOF


Command still running (session quiet-canyon, pid 2464948). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.


The command seems to be hanging. Let me poll the process to see if there's output.


(no new output)

Process still running.


The process is still running. Let me wait a bit longer and then poll again.


The process seems stuck. Let me kill it and try a different approach - maybe the API is slow or not responding.


Killed session quiet-canyon.


The API is timing out or very slow. Let me try with a shorter timeout and see what happens.

curl -sL --max-time 10 "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals?limit=20&sort=newest" 2>&1 | head -c 2000


Command still running (session kind-rook, pid 2468710). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.


This is also hanging. The API seems to be slow or having issues. Let me try a simple curl with a very short timeout just to check connectivity.


No active session found for kind-rook


The API seems to be timing out. Let me try with a different approach - check if I can at least connect to the domain.

curl -sL --max-time 8 "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals/?limit=5&sort=newest" -w "\nHTTP_CODE:%{http_code}\nSIZE:%{size_download}\nTIME:%{time_total}\n"


HTTP_CODE:000
SIZE:0
TIME:8.002089

Command exited with code 28


The API is timing out. HTTP_CODE 000 means the connection couldn't be established or it timed out. This could be a network issue or the API might be down/slow.

Let me try checking the main website to see if it's responding at all.

The API is timing out. Let me check if the main site is accessible:

curl -s --max-time 8 "https://www.gottahavecoups.com" -w "\nHTTP_CODE:%{http_code}\nTIME:%{time_total}\n" | head -20


HTTP_CODE:000
TIME:8.002181


The main website is also timing out. There seems to be a connectivity issue to gottahavecoups.com from this host. This could be:
1. A network/firewall issue
2. The site being down
3. Some rate limiting or blocking

Let me try pinging the domain to see if it's reachable at all.

The site appears to be unreachable from this host. Let me check connectivity:

ping -c 2 -W 3 www.gottahavecoups.com 2>&1

The site is reachable via ping, but HTTP/HTTPS connections are timing out. This could be due to:
1. Firewall blocking outbound HTTPS
2. Cloudflare blocking the connection
3. Rate limiting

Let me try a different approach - maybe I can check if there are any existing deals cached or if I can use a different method. But first, let me check if maybe there's a proxy or different configuration needed.

Actually, let me try one more time with a very simple curl and see if adding a user-agent helps.

The host is reachable via ping but HTTPS is timing out. Let me try with different headers:

curl -sL --max-time 10 -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36" "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals/?limit=5&sort=newest" 2>&1


Command still running (session good-seaslug, pid 2475927). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.


Still hanging. Let me kill this and try to check if there's some network configuration or if the API might be on a different host/port.

Actually, since this is a cron task and the API is not accessible from this host, I should report this failure. However, let me first check if there's any existing deal data I can use or if I have access to the API through the Maya VM instead.


No active session found for good-seaslug


The API is consistently timing out from the Fred host. Since the task mentions using Maya VM for the actual posting, let me try fetching deals from the Maya VM instead. That might work if the network issue is specific to the Fred host.

The API is unreachable from this host. Let me try fetching deals from Maya VM instead (where the posting scripts are):

ssh -o ConnectTimeout=10 maya@maya "curl -sL --max-time 15 'https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals/?limit=15&sort=newest'" 2>&1 | head -c 3000


Command still running (session good-orbit, pid 2479128). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.


This is also hanging. Let me wait and poll.


(no new output)

Process still running.


Still no output. Let me kill this and try a different approach. Perhaps the API is genuinely down or there's a broader network issue affecting both hosts.


Killed session good-orbit.


Let me check if maybe I can access a cached deals file or look at the posted_deals.json to see what deals were posted previously, and maybe I can construct a deal post manually or check if there's any cached data.

Actually, let me first check if there's a network issue by trying to reach another site from Maya VM.

Let me check if Maya VM has general internet access:

ssh -o ConnectTimeout=5 maya@maya "curl -s --max-time 5 https://api.github.com" 2>&1 | head -5


Maya VM has internet access. The issue is specifically with gottahavecoups.com API. Let me try the API one more time from Maya with different parameters or check if maybe it's a DNS or specific path issue.

Maya has internet access. Let me try the deals API from Maya specifically:

ssh maya@maya "curl -sL -A 'Mozilla/5.0' --max-time 10 'https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/deals/?limit=5&sort=newest' -w '\nHTTP_CODE:%{http_code}\n'" 2>&1


Command still running (session young-bloom, pid 2482817). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.

Warning: Permanently added 'maya' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.


Still hanging. The API appears to be down or extremely slow. Let me check the posted_deals.json to see what was posted previously, and then I might need to report this as a failure due to API unavailability.


No active session found for young-bloom


The API seems to be down or extremely slow from both hosts. Let me check the posted_deals.json file to see what deals were posted previously, and check if there's any cached deal data I can use.

Let me check for any cached deal data and the posted deals database:

ls -la /tmp/*.json 2>/dev/null || echo "No json files in /tmp"

I found some cached deal data! Let me check the `/tmp/deals_full.json` and `/tmp/deals50.json` files which seem to have content from Feb 12. Let me examine these to find deals that haven't been posted yet.

I found cached deal data! Let me check the deals_full.json file:

cat /tmp/deals_full.json | python3 << 'PYEOF'
import json, sys
d = json.load(sys.stdin)
deals = d if isinstance(d, list) else d.get('deals', [])
print(f"Total deals: {len(deals)}")
for x in deals[:20]:
    deal_id = x.get('id', x.get('deal_id', 'unknown'))
    title = x.get('title','')[:50]
    price = x.get('price','N/A')
    discount = x.get('discount_percentage',0)
    print(f"{deal_id}|{title}|${price}|{discount}%")
PYEOF

Command exited with code 1


The deals_full.json file might be empty or corrupted. Let me check the file size and content directly.


{"deals":[{"title":"20\" x 28\" Cook's Aid Stove Top Silicone Mat Cover for Electric Stove (Beige) $3.49 + Free Shipping w/ Prime or on $35","description":"Non-Stick Grill & Baking Accessories via Amazon [amazon.com] has 20\" x 28\" Cook's Aid Stove Top Silicone Mat Cover for Electric Stove (Beige) on sale for $3.49.Shipping is free w/ Prime or on","price":3.49,"original_price":null,"discount_percentage":null,"deal_url":"https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DNSMKZRC?creative=9325&camp=1789&linkCo


The file has content. Let me read more of it and check what deals are in there, then cross-reference with the posted_deals.json to find ones that haven't been posted yet.

Good, the file has data. Let me extract deals and check which haven't been posted:

cat /tmp/deals_full.json | python3 << 'PYEOF'
import json, sys
d = json.load(sys.stdin)
deals = d.get('deals', [])
print(f"Total deals: {len(deals)}")
for x in deals[:25]:
    deal_id = str(x.get('id', x.get('deal_id', 'unknown')))
    title = x.get('title','')[:55]
    price = x.get('price','N/A')
    discount = x.get('discount_percentage',0) or 0
    if discount is None:
        discount = 0
    print(f"{deal_id}|{title}|${price}|{discount}%")
PYEOF


There's something weird with the file. Let me check if maybe it's not valid JSON or has some extra characters.

wc -c /tmp/deals_full.json && file /tmp/deals_full.json


40941 /tmp/deals_full.json
/tmp/deals_full.json: JSON text data


The file is valid JSON. Let me try a different approach - read the file content in Python directly rather than piping.

python3 << 'PYEOF'
import json
with open('/tmp/deals_full.json') as f:
    d = json.load(f)
deals = d.get('deals', [])
print(f"Total deals: {len(deals)}")
for x in deals[:25]:
    deal_id = str(x.get('id', x.get('deal_id', 'unknown')))
    title = x.get('title','')[:55]
    price = x.get('price','N/A')
    discount = x.get('discount_percentage') or 0
    print(f"{deal_id}|{title}|${price}|{discount}%")
PYEOF

Let me pick a good deal. The Stove Top Silicone Mat at $3.49 (33893) looks like a good affordable option.

I'll verify its availability before moving forward with the deal.

I have cached deal data. Let me check which deals haven't been posted yet:

10‑Pack Hot Wheels Batman-Themed Die‑Cast Toy Cars (1:64 Scale) $20

Amazon [amazon.com] has 10‑Pack Hot Wheels Batman-Themed Die‑Cast Toy Cars (1:64 Scale) for $19.99.Shipping is free w/ Prime or on $35+


I have the deal details. Now let me:
1. Download the share image from the API (or use the thumbnail)
2. Build a tweet
3. Validate it
4. Post to X and Pinterest using Maya VM

Since the main API is timing out, I'll use the thumbnail_url or image_url for the image. Let me first try to download the share image from the gottahavecoups API - it might work even though the deals API is timing out.

Now let me download the share image and build the tweet:

wget -q --timeout=10 "https://www.gottahavecoups.com/api/v1/share/image/33886" -O /tmp/deal_img_33886.jpg 2&1 || echo "Share image download failed, will use thumbnail"
ls -la /tmp/deal_img_33886.jpg 2>/dev/null || echo "File not created"


Command still running (session faint-ridge, pid 2492342). Use process (list/poll/log/write/kill/clear/remove) for follow-up.

The share image download is also timing out. Let me kill this and use the thumbnail URL from the deal data instead. I can download the thumbnail directly from slickdeals.


Killed session faint-ridge.


The gottahavecoups API is timing out completely. Let me use the thumbnail from the deal data instead and download it from slickdeals.

Let me use the thumbnail from the deal data:

wget -q "https://static.slickdealscdn.com/attachment/4/0/4/0/3/4/4/300x300/19572013.thumb" -O /tmp/deal_img_33886.jpg 2>&1

I have the image. Now let me build a tweet for this deal. The deal is:- 10-Pack Hot Wheels Batman-Themed Die-Cast Toy Cars (1:64 Scale) - $20
- From Amazon
- Free shipping with Prime

Let me build a tweet keeping it under 280 characters with hook, value, hashtags, and link last.

Image downloaded. Now let me build and validate the tweet:

The tweet is valid. Now let me:
1. Check if deal 33886 has been posted using posted_db.py
2. Copy the tweet and image to Maya VM
3. Post to X using the twikit script
4. Post to Pinterest
5. Record the posts

Let me start by checking the database.

Tweet validated. Let me check if this deal was already posted and then proceed to post:

POSTED:NO


The deal hasn't been posted yet. Now let me:
1. Copy the tweet file to Maya VM
2. Copy the image to Maya VM
3. Run the X posting script
4. Run the Pinterest posting script
5. Record the posts

Deal hasn't been posted. Now let me copy files to Maya VM and post to X:

The tweet file was copied. Now let me copy the image.


Both files copied. Now let me post to X using the twikit script.

Now posting to X using Maya VM twikit:

Let me wait a bit longer for the post to complete.


(no new output)

Process still running.


The process is taking a while. Let me wait a bit longer.


Let me give it more time. The twikit script might be waiting for some network operation or login.


The process is still running. Let me check if there's any issue by looking at the process status or just wait a bit more.


This is taking a very long time. Let me check if the process is still active and maybe check the log more thoroughly.


The process is running but not producing output. The twikit script might be stuck waiting for login or there's an issue with the cookies. Let me kill this process and check if the cookies are valid, or try running the cookie extraction script first.

The script seems stuck. Let me check if X cookies need refreshing:


Killed session good-cedar.


Let me check the cookies file on Maya and potentially refresh them.

The cookies file exists and was updated recently (Feb 12 18:59). Let me try running the X post script again with a simpler approach - maybe without the image first to see if the basic posting works.

The cookies file looks valid. Let me try running the x_twikit_post2.py script directly on Maya to see if there's any output or error.

Let me check the X posting script and try running it interactively on Maya:
