Create a Python parallel for this repository (or use mine!)

I have worked a lot recently with building my own Python-based GroupMe bots. I think it would be great for this GroupMe GitHub organization to have another repository showing a Python implementation. Perhaps ruby too.

Fortunately, I have taken the liberty of making such a repository: https://github.com/ErikBoesen/bot-tutorial-python

I would love it if I could transfer that repository to the GroupMe GitHub organization. Please let me know if this would be possible!

Foreman install/setup instructions

Very last step says to run the command foreman start every time I do this my PC gives me an error despite having the bot ID correctly set up.

I tried installing the following node package with no luck: https://github.com/strongloop/node-foreman

I'm a bit lost here 😞 I managed to get it to work on heroku but I'd very much like to run this locally while I code for it. Please let me know if I missed something obvious here.

How I upload own NodeJs to Heroku

I have also created a app using NodeJs and i wanna upload it to Herku hosting site. Can you please tell me how, or else mail me [email protected] please...

empty repository

when trying to clone to local machine after setting up bot, the following appears:

warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.

What is the API for mentioning users with a bot?

What is the API for mentioning users with a bot?

I'm trying to mention specific users with a bot, but I am unable to do so. I am trying the below POST message body but the user isn't mentioned.

await axios({
      method: "post",
      url: GROUPME_API,
      data: {
        bot_id: botName,
        text: " - you've been mentioned!",
        attachments: [
          {
            type: "mentions",
            user_ids: [1234, 4567],
            loci: [[0, 0]],
          },
        ],
      },
    })

I am expecting the above to send a message: @user - you've been mentioned! but the @user is not being added.

no source files show up after trying to clone the heroku project for local modification

I think I followed the tutorial exactly, but when I executed:
"heroku git:clone MY_APP_NAME"

I ended up not getting any source files and instead saw this message:
"warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository."

any ideas what could be causing this?

also very new to this stuff, what do i need to install to run foreman? (I'm on a Mac)

thanks!
