CS221Bot

CS221Bot is a Discord bot using Discord.py for managing the official UBC CS221 class server.

Installation

Clone the repo to your computer, and ensure your Discord Bot Token is set as a environmental variable named CS221BOT_KEY.

Additionally, you will need a Piazza email + password and a Canvas API key set as environment variables to use their respective commands.

Dependencies

The bot requires the following pip packages:

• beautifulsoup4
• binarytree
• cairosvg
• canvasapi
• chess
• discord.py
• piazza-api
• PyNaCl
• python-dateutil
• python-dotenv
• youtube-dl

You can install all of them using pip install -r requirements.txt.

The bot also requires GraphViz, which can be installed with conda install -c anaconda graphviz

Usage

Start the bot by using python3 cs221bot.py. View the list of commands by typing !help in a server where the bot is in.

The bot's Canvas module-tracking functionality only notifies you of new published modules by default. If you want the bot to notify you when it sees a new unpublished module, run the bot with the --cnu flag, i.e. run python3 cs221bot.py --cnu. You need to have access to unpublished modules, though.
