What are /r/botwatch's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You can do this with IFTTT.

Link a reddit account to IFTTT (probably an account you make just for this purpose). And then create a recipe...

• Trigger Channel: Feed (for RSS) > "Need feed item" > https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/VanossGaming/uploads

• Action Channel: reddit > "Submit a new link" > format it how you'd like and with Vanossgaming as the Subreddit (no "/r/").

> But I don't really understand anything when reading the reddit API.

http://www.reddit.com/dev/api#POST_api_login gives information on the JSON message you should send as an HTTP 'POST' request to api.reddit.com. You will need an HTTP library an a JSON formatter, but if you're just experimenting then 'netcat' is your friend.

You could use something like RSS it for Me to create an RSS feed of each Twitter user, then create an IFTTT recipe (linked to a reddit account) for RSS>Reddit to post it.

I'm not sure if there's a better/easier way to get Tweets or their RSS now that Twitter has closed a lot of doors (but would definitely love to know if there are any as I have a project of my own that needs to grab specific tweets as well!).

The code is still running, not sure if server logs are visible for you but it's showing that the bot is apparently recieving and replying to messages

Hey, thanks for the comment. Just want to update you on what happened here, since I think it's a pretty good use case. I checked the logs and it looks like neither of those titles are available for streaming, rental or digital purchase according to Can I Stream it. I'm still working it out, but in an attempt to not be spammy, the bot won't comment if it doesn't have anything to add to the conversation.

Basically the flow that is used is, get the title from IMDB, search Can I Stream it, and then parse the results to match where the IMDB id matches the IMDB id in the results or if Can I Stream it has no IMDB id for the entry in the search results, it will try and guess based on the year.

I checked and Black Swarm did match the IMDB link you posted, but it's only available for DVD purchase according to Can I Stream it, and currently, I leave out Cable and DVD. I am planning on working it out so that if there is little information, it will include Cable and DVD, but for now, it's limited to Streaming, Rental, or Digital Purchase

For The Picture of Dorian Gray, the 1916 version with IMDB id tt0228718 doesn't even come up in the Can I Stream it search results, so it's excluded from the comment.

I think the thing that makes the most sense is to comment that there are no results when the bot is summoned, just so the user is aware. For comments on posts though, I would leave this out, since it would be unsolicited and wouldn't really be helpful.

Sorry for the long comment, but just wanted to be verbose about the logic. I like seeing these real world use cases, and am collecting them for further testing in development.

I've never used it, but the pricing page says you get 100 "free dyno hours", and there are 730 hours in a month.

But even if the host is only up for 3/4 of the day: do you need more than 6 hours to post 15 comments?

If it's the server setup you're struggling with, maybe take a look at this guide Initial Server Setup with Ubuntu 16.04

With a server, you don't want a GUI. Getting used to working in a terminal isn't hard at all. Just takes some practice until you get the hang of it.

It's pretty simple! Once you spin up a droplet with linux on it, you can get a SSH tool and ssh into it, copy and paste your script into it, save it, then do python filename and it will run the script! If you're on windows I suggest MobaXterm Personal Edition as the ssh client

> I haven't used WolframAlpha's API. I didn't actually know there was one. What advantages does that method have?

You can query WolframAlpha and directly link the generated graph. Come to think of it, it would be relatively easy to generate your own more detailed graphs with Python (Plot.ly sounds really good). You could upload it to imgur as well, for easy viewing in RES.

> Any specific thoughts? My main goal was for people to be able to copy-paste it to a spreadsheet. I intend to look for a way to put it in a box with its own scrollbar so it does take up so much page space.

Maybe upload it to a paste site (like Pastebin or even Github Gists) and link directly to it.

Oh, just the opposite. Go 1.0 promised basically a freeze in language design. They're hugely on a stable release cycle, and the only changes coming out now in Go are improvements in the runtime, tooling, and additions standard library (with heavy focus on non-breaking changes).

From the Go 1.0 release page of which has a lot more info about the plans that so far has remained quite true:

> The release of Go version 1, Go 1 for short, is a major milestone in the development of the language. Go 1 is a stable platform for the growth of programs and projects written in Go.

> Go 1 defines two things: first, the specification of the language; and second, the specification of a set of core APIs, the "standard packages" of the Go library. The Go 1 release includes their implementation in the form of two compiler suites (gc and gccgo), and the core libraries themselves.

> It is intended that programs written to the Go 1 specification will continue to compile and run correctly, unchanged, over the lifetime of that specification. At some indefinite point, a Go 2 specification may arise, but until that time, Go programs that work today should continue to work even as future "point" releases of Go 1 arise (Go 1.1, Go 1.2, etc.).

> Compatibility is at the source level. Binary compatibility for compiled packages is not guaranteed between releases. After a point release, Go source will need to be recompiled to link against the new release.

> The APIs may grow, acquiring new packages and features, but not in a way that breaks existing Go 1 code.
