acdvs/dealbot

A simple Discord bot for getting game discount info from IsThereAnyDeal.

Hello! 👋

I'm a full stack software engineer with a front end focus (design, UX, accessibility, etc). Everything I make is pixel-perfect.

Most of my projects are centered around livestreaming tools.

I also work on real-time audio/visual projects in TouchDesigner (see this and this), After Effects, and Cinema 4D.

dealbot's Issues

Ignore certain sellers

Like AllYouPlay and DLGamer

Add optional setting for server wishlists

If enabled, a server can add/remove games to a wishlist with a price point or price cut requirement and get a notification from the bot when a game satisfies that requirement.

Useful for smaller servers, could also be useful for a server for a particular game and they want to notify users when their game is on sale.

On that note, another optional setting could be for only a server admin to add/remove games from a wishlist.

Invite-to-server link broken

Not a bug with the bot itself, but the "invite bot to server" link is broken; it just produces a discord web page with an error reading "Invalid OAuth2 redirect_uri".

Add command rate limiting to prevent API rate limit issues

Right now 1000 commands could be send in 10 seconds and completely kill the API usage.

Add command to look up a game's current price

Sometimes it's nice to know the current price of a game regardless of whether it's on sale. The output of this would probably look like the $deals output.

Add support for messaging channel when a game goes on sale

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Missing a sale on a specific game

Describe the solution you'd like
Just like on isthereanydeal.com you can "watch" games and when they go below a configurable price you get notified.

I'd love if the bot could watch for deals and send a message to the channel when a game goes below a price.
It would be awesome if the "goes below a price" part is just as configurable as on ITAD. But that's probably future stuff :)

Handle API rate limits

API calls should automatically retry a certain number of times if they are rate-limited.

Invalid redirect URI

Tried to add the bot to my server and it looks like there is an invalid redirect uri on the OAuth2 token. This was the url in my browser upon the error happening.
https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=722942824999288924&permissions=93248&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Facdvs%2Fisthereanydeal-lookup&scope=bot

Suggest correct game names

Bot returns a name suggestion or a hyperlink to use command with the suggested game because ITAD doesn't have a perfect record of game names and the game id name has to exactly match right now.

For example
!deals the forest can return "No games found for "the forest", here are some alternatives: "theforest" "someothergamewithforest"

Another example is Resident Evil 2 needing the long form RESIDENT EVIL 2 / BIOHAZARD RE:2 Standard Edition to register.

Add support for multiple regions

The region for all commands is currently hardcoded to US.

1. Add a way for individual commands to specify the region that should be used to generate results.
2. A server-wide default region would also be useful.

Hide null responses from Metacritic

Don't create a Metacritic score response in Discord message if the Metacritic value is null, which happens to be for a lot of games even though there is Metacritic data available.... ITAD just isn't supplying it.

I can fix this, just making a note here.
