@chidiewenike super cool!

Here’s an idea: lets modify the app.py to merge in your code by creating a new function

@app.route("/obtain-latest-message/", methods=['GET'])
def obtain-latest-message():
    # insert the setup code from another_bot.py
    # INSERT CODE FROM **within** WHILE LOOP, but not the while-loop itself
    # ...
    return message_posting, 200

Wrapping the code in this way, rather than the while-loop will integrate it into the API service that is running on Heroku

then (after we merge to master) you will see that the service is running forever at this endpoint:

Sounds good!

You can test it locally by running

python3 app.py

Then point your browser to 0.0.0.0:8080/obtain-latest-message

don’t forget to pip3 install -r requirements
