Why are there no BTT Discord bot?

[Insanerman]

I'm just thinking of an idea of developing a Bot in Discord where it can do the same thing as the current Telegram Super Notifier Bot by TryNinja^[1]. yet I lack of knowledge when it comes to implementing a webscraper to be reactive in the BOT in any servers in Discord. If ever that there is already one in the making, I'd be please to contribute anything I could help with the programming (not really good tho, but willing to learn)

And if ever that idea still remains as an idea, I'd be delighted to start the project. Though I'm not really the full-stack developer (im just a stack-overflow developer lol ), I would try my best to make the project work and meet the success. Soon, I'll edit this thread with the idea and update with the progress as well.

If you want to do it, you can skip all the forum scraping and analyzing part by using my API. I already have something for third parties to get simple notifications. Here are the docs (check under /WebUsers): https://docs.ninjastic.space

How can I get an API key? Would this work if there would be no API key (some requires, but obviously yours doesn't)? I've been trying something with your API (actually connecting your API onto an Ionic app that can be both on android and IOS devices, and can be exported as both a website and a windows app using node.js). I'm currently trying to figure out how to make a useful discord bot (as your telegram bot is much convenient).

BTW, huge thanks for this. This simply makes everything easier, all I need to do is to figure out the logic and of course how to implement an effective bot.

You don't need any, as there is no authentication (at least for now). Just make the requests and you're good.

Feel free to PM me if you need help with anything.

Doubt you will be doing any "web scrapping". @TryNinja as mentioned has an HTTP API you can simply call the URL's with correct params. I can help you set things up if you want?  Will anyone actually use this though? Is your discord server even active or has members for that matter? Check if people are interested and then proceed with the bot.

Does your server gets flooded with requests or it's well load balanced? Nice of you to not have authentication. Btw what did you write the docs in? Are they autogenerated?

You can get rate limited if you make too many requests. For now, there hasn't been any abuse. But I can start blocking requests and/or requiring an API key if needed.

I use Insomnia for debugging and generate them with insomnia-documenter. I'm thinking about using something else, though.

Why do some people take the forum seriously? Tracking notifications through the Telegram bot is more than enough for a regular user. If there is an BTT Discord bot it will be considered an addiction to the forum.

I appreciate that you are trying to develop, but the most important step is to find enough demand, so ask the community if they want to get that bot before starting to deloping it.

If you will try to develop this bot I think it would be best if you make it just some kind of channel on the Unofficial Bitcointalk Server promoted by Cyrus, if you don't have personal knowledge I think working both with TryNinja and Cyrus would be a good idea. Also the Discord server is not doing well right now in terms of its member count where it only has 249 members in total and as of right now only 28 people online so maybe implementing more features for this server will help it boost up the member count and the number of active people.

I don't think people are doing it for the purposes of being "serious" in the forum but for them to help out other people who are interested in this kinds of things. His idea isn't that bad or is something that will affect Bitcointalk in a bad way so its really not a good thing to discourage what he wants to do especially if no one has applied it yet. Also if someone has developed a notification bot for Discord I don't think someone will be addicted to the forum because of it, I wake up everyday looking at my phone with dozens of notifications from various apps but after skimming all of it I basically hit "clear them all" in my phone.
