Step 1

My script makes a request to the WikiArt's server, in order to get a bunch of data that contains URL's for images.
Once I have that data, the script that I wrote randomly chooses an Art Object from a page-also randomly choosed- that contains 60 Art Object total.

Step 2

In this step, my script checks if I posted that specific Art Object that comes from step one. If so, my script re-chooses the object until finding an unique one.
After all this process, my script which is deployed on Heroku downloads the image locally with a Ruby Gem called Mechanize.
The key on this step is, Heroku has a system that allows you to download and use an image temporarily in the server-runtime. That means you can download a image into Heroku Server for just that runtime. After server goes sleep the image gets deleted.
So that being said, my script is able to post to a tweet with media-stored on server locally-.

Step 3

Ok. But how does your script runs every day-hour-minute?!?
My script runs every 3 hours with a Ruby Gem called Clockwork, basically allows you to have an background process within your server. More details about Clockwork.

And That's it!
