The reddit bot will still function if you run the code, but the data is multiple years out of date now. This will eventually be revisted and overhauled using the new Octane.gg API instead of using a web scraper.
RLStatsBot
A Rocket League Statistics bot that pulls information on Rocket League players from octane.gg by extracting information from HTML files. This bot is currently active and functional on the subreddits /r/RocketLeagueEsports and /r/RocketLeague. An example comment can be seen here: https://goo.gl/YqvNBr
Getting Started
Run python3 RLBot.py to start the bot. If desired, OctangeGGSelenium can be run to get an updated data set.
The subreddit where the bot is active is currently /r/RocketLeagueEsports and /r/RocketLeague. This can be changed in line 23 of RLBot.py if desired
!stats 'PLAYER NAME' or !compare 'PLAYER ONE' 'PLAYER TWO' can be used on either subreddit to get a response
Comment IDs will be automatically be written in an external file to ensure a comment is not replied to more than once.
