Process over Profit Bot
The bot is currently capable of the following:
- Reporting the economic news events for the current day as obtained from Forex Factory.
- Enumerating the list of users who haven't performed a check-in and are thus in danger of being booted.
Dependencies
This bot depends on the following Python packages:
- discord.py (for obvious reasons)
- python-dotenv (for loading the bot token from the local environment)
- requests (for querying economic news)
Install them with the following command:
pip install discord.py python-dotenv requests
Environment Setup
Prior to running the bot, you will need to ensure that the DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN environment variable has been set to the token that was generated when creating your bot application using the Discord developer portal.
As this project makes use of python-dotenv, you can accomplish this by creating a file named ".env" and setting the value there.
Example .env file:
DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN=your_secret_token
Running the Bot
The bot can be run from the terminal with the following command:
python ./bot.py
Running in a Docker Container
The bot can also be run in a Docker container.
The necessary Dockerfile is included.
