Bot Collection

A collection of Python bots that run on AWS Lambda. The bots are deployed using AWS CDK. They perform some scheduled actions and send me emails with updates.

A base bot construct is defined in lambda_bot.construct.ts and implements a Python Lambda + Cloudwatch Event Rule. Custom bots can be extended from this construct.

• Github Bot: Sends me an email with the latest commits from the users I follow on Github.
• Movie Bot: Sends me an email with currently playing movies at my local theater.

To use Github Bot:

1. Create lambda/users.py and add a list of users in the following way:

urls = ["https://github.com/etokatlian"]       

name_map = {"etokatlian": "Eric Tokatlian"}

2. Add as many users as you want to the urls list and the name_map dictionary. The name_map dictionary is used to map the github username to a name that you want to be displayed in the email.

3. Create a .env file in the root directory and add the following environment variables:

EMAIL=youremail.com
PASSWORD=yourpasswordhere

To use Movie Bot:

1. Create a .env file in the root directory and add the following environment variables:

EMAIL=youremail.com
PASSWORD=yourpasswordhere

Deploying the bots to AWS:

1. Make sure you have docker installed and are running the docker daemon. The stack uses docker to intall and package up the dependencies when deploying.

2. Run npx cdk deploy to deploy the bot to AWS Lambda.

3. Sit back and let the bots do their thing :)
