Throwaway discord bots for scraping history and generating messages using markov chains

Discord Scraper and Markov Chain Talkbot

This is a super simple duo of bots: one for scraping the entire history of a server, and another for creating a bot to generate messages from users using markov chains. The talkbot uses the sqlite3 database created by the scrape bot to create its markov chains.

Dependencies

See requirements.txt.

Running

Each bot needs its own token. Place your tokens in their respective config files, config.ini and config_lolmarkov.ini. Pass --help to see more command-line options.

Permissions

The scraper needs history permissions (permissions=65536) and the markov chain talkbot needs "Send Messages" and "Add Reactions" (permissions=2112).

Commands

The scraping bot works in the background and has no commands.

The talkbot has the following commands.

• $switch USER: Switch the model to the user. Users currently in the server can be specified by ID, Mention, Username, or Username#discriminator. Users not in the server can be specifeid by Username#discrimnator as they appeared when the data set was scraped.
• $talk [init]: Generate a random message, given up to two words to start the sentence. This command may fail if there is not enough data for the current model.

See more commands with $help.
