OW-Bot
A simple Discord bot, showing Overwatch profile summaries.
Written in go. Discord client uses bwmarrin/discordgo. Overwatch profile data via SunDwarf/OWAPI.
Running the bot
Install the bot via standard go commands:
go get -u github.com/verath/owbot-bot
Then run it, supplying it the Discord app bot user token (obtained by registering a new Discord application):
owbot-bot -token "BOT_TOKEN"
Running as a Docker container
It is also possible to run the bot as a Docker container:
docker build . -t vearth/owbot-bot
docker run -d vearth/owbot-bot -token "BOT_TOKEN"
Persisting BattleTag mappings
By default the bot stores the BattleTag for users in memory, which means
that the mappings will be gone when the bot quits. To instead persist
this data to disc, specify -dbfile when running the bot:
owbot-bot -dbfile ./owbot-bot.boltdb -token "BOT_TOKEN"
-dbfile is set to /db/owbot.boltdb by default when running
the bot as a Docker container. To persist data between runs, map
the /db volume to a volume on the host:
docker run -d -v /tmp/owbot-db:/db vearth/owbot-bot -token "BOT_TOKEN"
Adding the bot to a channel
The bot can be added to a channel by using the Discord OAuth flow
with the READ_MESSAGES and SEND_MESSAGES permissions:
https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?scope=bot&permissions=3072&client_id=CLIENT_ID
Replace CLIENT_ID with the Discord application Client ID.
