drbot
A Python3 library for easily building devRant bots
Using
To make a bot, all you need to do is extend the BotBuilder class and define an onNotif() method
from drbot.botbuilder import BotBuilder, NotifType
# Testing setup
class MyBot(BotBuilder):
onNotif(self, type, content):
# Handle notifs here
pass
# Create a bot
my_bot = MyBot("username", "password")
# Set how long the bot should wait between notif queries (in seconds)
interval = 10
# Start the bot
my_bot.start(interval)That's it!
Using the API
Every BotBuilder class has a built in API wrapper. This can be accessed through self.api, and contains the following methods:
getUserInfo(username: str) -> dict
getUsername(user_id: int) -> str
postRant(body: str, tags: str) -> None
postComment(rant_id: int, content: str) -> None
getComment(comment_id: int) -> dictThe BotBuilder automatically handles login, sessions, notif management, and some data parsing. If you are looking to override these, you may be interested in the following API methods:
login(username: str, password: str) -> None
hasAuthExpired() -> bool
getNotifs() -> list
clearNotifs() -> None
getUserId(username: str) -> intInstalling
This library is avalible on PYPI.
With python3.7 and python3-pip installed, run:
