A simple bot to look for any market talk-related keywords, after which it chooses randomly from and prints a pre-set message.

py market-bot.py

• Go here to make a bot.

• Give your bot a name, and then click Create App.

• Scroll down to Create a Bot User and click that.

• Click Yes, do it!

• Copy your bot token by clicking click to reveal in the APP BOT USERsection.

• Copy config.json.sample to config.json.

• Replace "your token goes here" with this token, in config.json (keep the ").

• Don't reveal this token to anyone!

• Next you need to get the Channel ID you want the bot to run in.

• In Discord, follow these steps-

  1. Click on User Settings(small gear icon to right of name in the bottom left)

  2. Click on Appearance

  3. Enable Developer Mode.

• Right click on the Discord channel you want the bot to work in, and press Copy ID.

• Open up market-bot.py, and replace the value of message.channel.id with the ID you just copied(again, keep the ").

• Scroll up and click Generate OAuth2 URL

• Choose bot under SCOPES

• Select the permissions you want the bot to have under Bot Permissions

• When done, click COPY next to the link generated

• Open said link and choose the server you wish to add the bot to. You must have Manage Server permissions.

I use it personally and recommend as on signing up you get free "Dynos"(credits) worth ~$40 for free, with the only verification being a valid e-mail address, which renews monthly. Setting it up is relatively easy-

• open Command Prompts/terminal and type pip freeze
  • then copy/paste everything shown into a file called requirements.txt, like in my repo
• in a file runtime.txt specify the python version to use. Assuming you used the latest version, check and enter the value after making sure it is supported by Heroku here. See my file for the format
• then make a file Procfile(no extension, check for caps) and specify how to run the program, like python market-bot.py. Check mine if you're unsure
• Once done, make an account in Heroku(screw the get started guide) and make a new application
• Go to Deploy and scroll down
  • Download Heroku CLI
  • If you don't have Git installed yet, then do so(through the Heroku installer.)
    • For the rest of the tutorial, enter all commands through the terminal/command prompts
    • If you do then cancel the installation of Git and run Git CLI when the CLI installs
  • Login to your Heroku account using heroku login
  • Clone and cd to your repository using the commands given
  • Make any changes you want to locally, then run the commands given to push them to Heroku and deploy them
• If it deploys successfully, then it should-
  • work in your server without having to run the script locally, and
  • show the message you defined to print on startup in the logs section of Heroku (More -> View Logs)

Big thanks to @ZedPea, he helped a lot with the bot.
