About this project

Usage

The quickest way to use the bot is via our public bots and servers:

Discord

On Discord, the bot runs publicly as @GameFeeder#5446. The best way to use the bot is to join our Discord server (make sure to mute the channels you are not interested in). You can also add the bot to your own servers via this invite link.

Telegram

On Telegram, the bot runs publicly as @AnnounceBot. The best way to use the bot is to add it directly (don't forget to subscribe to the games you are interested in). If you are only interested in Dota 2, you can also use the old Dota 2 Feeder channel.

Local setup

You can also download production-ready images from the dockerhub repo. You will still need your own configuration and data files for it to work (more info about how to do that in CONTRIBUTING.md).

Commands

So far, we are providing the following commands:

• The default prefix on Telegram is /.
• The default prefix on Discord is !.
• You can also use the bot's tag as prefix.

Command	Role	Summary
start	User	Get started with the GameFeeder.
help	User	Display all available commands.
about	User	Display information about this bot.
settings	User	Display an overview of the settings you can configure for the bot.
games	User	Display a list of all available games.

ping	User	Test the delay of the bot.

unsubscribe <game name>	Admin	Unsubscribe from a game's feed.
prefix <new prefix>	Admin	Change the prefix the bot uses on this channel.
notifyAll <message>	Owner	Send a message to all subscribers.

Note: The messages in the notification commands should be provided in the raw markdown format, they will be reformatted for the different clients. Discord should be used for these commands, as some formatting information gets lost in Telegram (when Telegram uses the same format).
