Discord shitposter

this discord bot scrapes randomly out of N 4chan boards & N threads then dumps either an img, webm or gif to your server.

Installation

Your python env must satisfy the dependencies in requirements.txt, if you're using anaconda you can automatically create an env with all the correct deps using the included yml env configurator.

conda env create -f shitpostbot_env.yml

this will automatically create a shitpost_bot environment, which you can activate with

conda activate shitpost_bot

Configuration

First you have to create your bot using Discord's developer applet, just follow this guide: really nice guide You have to compile a .yml configuration file like the included config/config_ex.yml

bot:
    channelid: channel_id
    token: token
chan:
    boards:
        - a
        - b
        - c
        - vg
        - c
        - r9k
        - mlp
        - wsg
