A Bot that responds with the "spongemock" version of a message when sent by a particular user.

A GroupMe bot can be created here and using the Groupme API can send messages to its assigned group. This particular bot uses a callback URL to be notified of new messages. Once notified the message will be parsed and a response will be created if the USER_ID
of the sender matches that of the USER_ID
environment variable.
Once a bot is registered with Groupme the following requirements must be specified in the form of environment variables:
-
USER_ID - The ID of the user that should be mocked in the group chat.
Example:
USER_ID=29384
-
BOT_ID - The assigned bot ID by GroupMe.
Example:
BOT_ID=a6a7a7a7a7a7a7a7a77a7a7
-
GROUP_ID - The ID of the Groupme Chat where the bot resides
Example:
GROUP_ID=0987890987
-
API_TOKEN - The api token for the authorized Groupme account
Example:
API_TOKEN=983u4ritgo0v98ujkorf
After the environment variables have been set run the Flask server, python -m MockBot
Feature Additions/Suggestions are welcome, for any particular functionality that may need to be added for a particular use case, simple parse the incoming messages looking for specified input in the server.py
file and add methods in the bot class to perform the desired function.
