Basically, title.
There will be a few matches, especially at the beginning of the championship, so that would be nice to have a way to get them automatically created.
threaded - newest
A csv of kick off times (in UTC) and who is playing would be helpful to whomever takes this up
Do you have a data feed to pull from, or some kind of list of matches? It shouldn’t be too hard to use a simple python script to parse a file and post automatically on a schedule. I maintain a repo that doesn’t exactly match your use case, but I could maybe add your functionality depending on complexity
Well the thing about a tournament is that of course we cant know the team pairings of quarterfinals etc until the games before have been played. So we would need a source that updates itself with that info
schedule.lemmings.world Wouldn’t this do the job? Unless you need to automatically fetch some data then idk.
Ideally the automated post would also pull the teams name from a source and put them in the threads titles
This Git repo has a list of hidden ESPN APIs that might be useful for automatically pulling data.
Great, thanks!
Have you tried talking to the mods over at r/soccer how they have set up their match threads? I think they are pulling live updates from ESPN.
I was gonna spend time today on the movies bot, I can do a footie bot at the same time if you like?
Oh that would be great!
For the movies bot, do you plan to use it for !movies@lemm.ee , !movies@lemmy.world , both?
We’ve been trying to have regular threads on !movies@lemm.ee , but we could definitely use a bot to track them more closely
Oh no have I gotten myself involved into a community drama
My plan was the lemmy.world community but I have no real objection to doing it for both, and then it'll get detected as a cross post, and displayed once to people who are seeing either or both communities. (This operating on the assumption that it's wanted on the lemm.ee community also.) How's that sound? I just don't want anyone to yell at me
Hello again,
Sorry you feel like you are getting caught in a drama.
That sounds great! Can I create a thread on !movies@lemm.ee so that we can keep discussing this, or do you have a Matrix / XMPP address that we can use to chat for potential debugging of the bot? I would normally DM you but unfortunately I’m pretty sure DMs do not federate between Lemmy and Mbin
Yeah, creating a thread for it sounds good. I'm looking at it now 👍🏻. I have matrix but pretty rarely use it
Perfect! Here it is: mbin.grits.dev/…/Meta-Discussion-thread-for-autom…
