Thesaurize Bot

A bot for Discord that makes sentences make 70% less sense. Heavily inspired by OrionSuperman's Reddit bot. By replacing each word in a sentence with a random synonym you can produce some pretty hilarious results.

Running the Bot

  1. Get an API key from the Big Huge Thesaurus. Their free plan supports up to 1000 words per day.
  2. Create a new application on Discord's developer site. Create a bot user and copy the bot's token.
  3. Enable Send Messages and Read Message History permissions and copy the resulting interger.
  4. Next, copy the client ID for the bot.
  5. Clone this repository and cd into it.
  6. Run the following commands to build and then run the bot. 
    $ make build
$ docker run -d \
    --env DISCORD_KEY="DISCORD_KEY_VALUE" \
   --env THESAURUS_KEY="THESAURUS_KEY_VALUE" \
    thesaurize-bot:latest
  7. Using the integer and client ID from steps 3 and 4, respectively, into the following URL stub: https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<ID>&scope=bot&permissions=<INTEGER>
  8. Click the link to add the bot to your server.
