GW2-SMS-Bot

How It Works

This chatbot uses Python and Flask to connect the Twilio API with the Guild Wars 2 API. It's hosted on Heroku, and you can talk to it via SMS texting.

Features

• In Twilio
  • Greets the user and listens for additional commands
  • If the user requests help, lists the currently implemented commands
  • If the user says goodbye, sends the user a farewell message
  • Listens for if the user wants to supply an api key
• In Python
  • Asks for an amount and type of currency and returns the amount in another currency (gold to gems, gems to gold)
  • Accepts the API key and stores it for usage elsewhere (currently there's no integration with the Account api, so it is unused)
