Project Update: steem-exif-spider-bot - New features (Post Support)
New Post Support!
This is a huge feature because it basically eliminates adding EXIF data through comments. EXIF data through comments will still exist, but will only be used for outreach. This feature allows users to give the bot user the ability to post EXIF data directly to a users post. This is really important as it becomes more critical to the steemit community to make bots more useful while limiting the spam produced.
Usage
Users need only to add @botname [optional profile name] to a post.
Implementation
The bot will detect posts created with the @botname mention and will parse out images that are in the post using the following regex /\!\[.*\]\(.+\)/g. It then appends the image markdown with an additional markdown table containing the EXIF information. The markdown template is built by providing EXIF tag data read from the image through handlebars templating engine.
----
|Tag Name|Description|

|Make|SONY|
|Model|ILCE-7SM2|
|Software|ILCE-7SM2 v2.10|
|DateTime|2018:04:01 18:01:28|
|ExposureTime|0.004|
|FNumber|6.3|
|ExposureProgram|Normal program|
Once the post is modified, the @botname mention is removed to not repeatedly update the same post.

I want to try but found that there is no such user as @botname. Did you mean to mention exactly @botname or "botname" is a variable to be replaced by a bot name?
Yes, you replace with the name of the account you want to use for your bot. If you want to see it in action, there's an
exifraccount that is running. Seehttps://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@exifr/introducing-exifr
It is not using post support yet though. Before post support is working, on
exifrI am trying to get a public configuration page working for people to use and signup usingsteemconnect. Follow the bot, and you will know when it's enabled.Thanks for your prompt reply. I also read your other post few days ago. That means, to mention @exifr in a post will get a comment with the meta data of photo? Does it work for the first photo or multiple photos of the same post? Sorry for too many questions because I am interested in your work :)
For now, you want to mention @exifr in a comment (not a post). In the future, @exifr will support posts. Also, at this time, just the first photo will get exif data. Steem users thought it was too much spam. In the future, each photo will get exif data. Here's an example https://steemit.com/photofeed/@r351574nc3/drama-for-drama-sake
The second photo got exif data only because the first had no exif data at all. Each photo will get exif data. Sorry if this is confusing. To make it short:
