The MCY-bot is a Discord bot that queries the Liquipedia API and returns information about a user-requested player from a specific wiki. The bot uses the discord-py-slash-command module which allows users to use the bot via slash commands such as /MCY-help or /MCY-getplayer.
Current available commands:
/MCY-help
/MCY-wiki
/MCY-getplayer <wiki> <player>
I have never successfully created and deployed a Discord bot and LiquidHacks 2.0 provided an excellent opportunity to explore and learn some new skills.
While googling a player on liquipedia is likely to be very quick, being able to do a quick slash command and displaying in the channel a player's short bio and socials may be helpful in a community setting.
- The bot is optimized mostly for League of Legends, Dota2, and Brood War queries, so querying other wikis will likely make strange contextual mistakes.
- Make it easier for the user to search for players. It requires the user to be very exact with the player's liquipedia page name.
- Add randomizer
- Remove embeds as the bot response can be very bulky
- Add a cooldown to reduce frequency of API querying
