You might consider putting this in a GitHub Gist, sharing the link for it, and accept comments and improvements within the Gist comments functionality. This would also allow others to fork your code to improve upon or keep a copy for themselves.
That can even allow people to curl and pipe to run in the terminal direct from github.

(Security risks aside,) That can even allow people to curl and pipe to run in the terminal direct from github.
I feel like this is normally the content you see in Stack Overflow

You could improve it by making it not a one-liner! Usually making it a multiple-liner can improve readability. And unless you're typing it into the command line directly everytime you run it (as opposed to putting it in a file that you invoke) it doesn't really matter how many lines it has.
I've tried this before in a Python script but quickly got rate limited by the 300 tweet update limit [0]. Does this get around that? [0] https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/basics/rate-limits

One day the code breaks. For a one liner I have to pick it apart, add logging / diagnostics, fix it, and reassemble. The two most time consuming and error prone parts of that are dealing with the 'one liner'
Other than that, thanks for writing this! I've been thinking about a tool like this and this might come in handy. The code looks fine to me although I would probably spin this out into a script and add some logging, as others have already pointed out.
