Forked from https://github.com/0xEssential/opensea-discord-bot and converted to pure Javascript
This project includes a script that can be used to routinely hit the OpenSea API, check for recent sales on a collection, and post embeds into a Discord channel with information about the sale.
Please don't abuse the OpenSea API by running this more frequently than once per hour. Ideally you should request an API key from OpenSea, and in a perfect world you would instead use Webhooks from OpenSea.
You'll need a Discord bot who has the ability to post in a channel in your Discord server.
First, you need a Discord server where you have permission to add a Bot. It's free and easy to create your own Discord server.
Once you have a server you can use, grab the channel ID following the instructions at this Discord support article. You'll enable developer mode, which will allow you to easily copy the channel ID from the Discord app - https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/206346498-Where-can-I-find-my-User-Server-Message-ID-.
Next, create a New Application on the Discord developer portal by clicking the button in the top right corner at https://discord.com/developers/applications.
Give your application a name.
Click into the Bot menu item. You can name your bot and give it an avatar, but the only requirement is that you copy the Bot token:
Click into the OAuth2 menu item. Give your application the bot scope:
Then, in the next section, give your bot the Send Messages permission under Text Permissions:
Now you're ready to authenticate your bot to your server - copy the OAuth URL from the scopes box and open it in your browser. You'll be asked to give permission to the bot to enter your server.
Once the bot is in your server, ensure you have the following two values and you are ready to deploy or run your script:
- botToken i.e
SBI1MDI0NzUyNDQ3NzgyOTEz.YF36LQ.Sw-rczOfalK0lVzuW8vBjjcnsy0 - channelId i.e.
814900494928445450
You can run this script locally by pulling the repo to your local machine.
First, install the dependencies with npm or yarn.
Then copy the .env.example file to .env and replace the example values with your own.
$ npm run start
Notice that Open Sea Flyer requires at least Node 14, because discord.js requires it.
If you put it on a remote server, use a process manager. We suggests pm2
After installing it, you can run to launch the app with pm2
./start.sh
