Quick update, I found I can get data a lot easier by requesting json files rather than a whole webpage

It will produce one of these for me upon pinging a user. Next step is getting it to reply in the chat with the pic.

(someone else is welcome to try it)

Thats awsome!

68

Nice! What did you use to make those images?

69

Python and PIL. It scrapes the data, then composes the image.

It says heā€™s not muted, and Iā€™ve verified that it is pulling the data correctly. TBD if I was correct in knowing where to pull that from.

76

! requestuserlockup @DRow

Taranā€™s figured out a way to automate forum spamming again :clock1: 4 :hammer:

77

Lol, ok. After dinner Iā€™m gonna set a 5/hour limit with a rolling window on calling the bot. DRow if you want it turned off just ask me and Iā€™ll get on it as soon as I see your message. Also, you call it by saying !requestuserlookup @name No other spaces, no other characters in the message.

78

Unfortunately, most bots do not share your aversion to grammar and spelling.

79

Iā€™m still waiting on authorization for a RobotEvents API key.
