mal-notify-bot

A discord bot that checks the Just Added page on MAL, reporting any newly approved entries.

Join:

You can join the discord server this is run on here. If that link doesn't work, scroll down to the bottom of your servers, hit "Add a Server" > "Join a server" and type in ajABjeN.

Install:

The code is generally up here as reference, I don't see a major reason why one would want to host their own instance of this bot. You can just join the public server above, I maintain the bot there.

Nevertheless, to create your own instance of the bot, create a server which has two channels named feed and nsfw-feed, add the bot to it, and then:

git clone https://github.com/purarue/mal-notify-bot
cd mal-notify-bot
python3 -m pip install pipenv  # if you don't have pipenv already
pipenv install
pipenv shell
git clone https://github.com/purarue/mal-id-cache
touch token.yaml

This uses a file in this directory called old which caches the already printed entries; if one was to start this on a new server, it would send every entry since it hasn't sent any yet (it doesn't know which ones are 'new'). You can use my mal-id-cache repository as a base, by reading in the SFW/NSFW IDs for anime, and saving those to a file named old. The format is just a text file, with one entry per line.

Could create the initial 'old' file by running:

curl -s 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/purarue/mal-id-cache/master/cache/anime_cache.json' | jq -r '.sfw + .nsfw | .[]' >'old'

put your bots token in token.yaml with contents like:

token: !!str EU*#3eiSzEr7i4L36FaTlrV0*RtuGOBVNrcteyrtt$GPAwNtkJKQg*dweSLy

Run:

python3 bot.py

This is run on python 3.10.2. You can use pyenv to install another version of python if needed.
