This project allows Discord to be able to recieve notifications when a controller logs into VATSIM.
Filtering is also supported, so you will only see alerts for specific airports/facilities.

This is not an API of any sort, I would highly recommend against using this in another application. 
Most of this project is incomplete (specifically the Controller model). It works as it is, if you modify
it, it may not work the same or at all.

Setup Tutorial:

You will need at Java 8 (or higher) for this to work. 

Create a Bot "account" at https://discordapi.com (Google it if you don't know how).

Run the jar file (usually java -jar Filename.jar)
On the first run it will give you an error, but the configuration file will have generated.

Edit the config.properties file which was generated (add your Discord Token, and Text Channel)
You can learn more about the options above.

To get a Text Channel ID make sure you have "Developer mode" on Discord enabled, you can enable it
by going to Settings -> Appearance, and enabling Developer mode, then right click the channel you want to use
and click "Copy ID", put that in the TEXT_CHANNEL option in the config.properties file.

Now you can run the Bot.

You then need to add the Bot to your Discord server, you can look this up on Google, its not hard.
