Twitter Favorite Bot

This NodeJS application allows you to favourite specific tweets.
I use some ES6 syntax so please use Node 7, or change the syntax.

Warning

Twitter's API only allows for 100 connections within an hour, per account (not the application), hence the reason for the 5 minute interval.
This application wasn't built for spam, just to engage with specific posts.
