This repo was archived when Heroku stopped offering free server resources. Feel free to fork this project if desired, the code is pretty simple so it should work with just a bit of touch-up.
You have to mention, reply, or message /u/the_episode_bot. If you post a thread with the correct format in the title it automatically activates. (currently limited to participating subreddits*). The bot runs during the day and sleeps during the night (Pacific Time)
Requests should be in a form similar to this:
/u/the_episode_bot Simpsons season 3 episode 2.
Regex parsing allows the bot to accept many different request formats, as well as misspellings. The show title can be automatically inferred if the subreddit corresponds to a show in the TV-related subreddits list. Note that the listing is out of date, so please message me if there is a new show to include. Also, the bot can't distinguish between different series of the same TV show. Sorry Doctor Who fans, you are out of luck.
- Download Python 3
- Install packages via
pip install -r requirements.txt - set your omdb api key as a environment variable
- debug unit tests in unit_tester.py to get a feel for how the code works (also see code diagram in info folder)
- Run timer.py
For running bot on heroku look at the info folder
- PRAW for conveniently accessing reddit,
- omdbapi for providing an open-source tv series database,
- TV-related subreddits master-list
- Netflix Roulette API for links to watch on Netflix
- praw-OAuth2Util for making OAUTH a breeze
