This project contains a package of functions used to communicate with the Project Euler website and the discord API to provide numerous functions for the members of the Project Euler Discord.
The desired outcome is to make project euler members life easier, with commands such as &easiest that will return a list of the 10 most solved problem by the community that the member didn't solve.
Also, one cool feature of the bot is its capacity to constantly seek for new problems solved by the members of the discord. Each minute, it sends a request to the Project Euler website, and with previously saved data in a database, compare everything to see if any member has solved a new problem. With this, the bot will announce every problem solved, awards, levels-up...
This is the list of commands you can use in the Discord of the community.
&profile: shows a nice image summing up your Project Euler Profile&link: Link your Discord profile with your Project Euler one.&unlink: Unlink your Discord profile&kudos: Create a list of all the kudos you got the first time used, and then check if you got any new ones every new time the command is used.&help: Shows an honestly not-worked at all list of commands&update: Update the database that lists the friends of the bot on Project Euler&easiest: Shows a list of the 10 easiest problem for the member
Note that the command &link requires you to add the Project Euler Bot as a friend on the website itself, here is its friend key: 1910895_2C6CP6OuYKOwNlTdL8A5fXZ0p5Y41CZc
The main technology used by the scripts is the Project Euler API, which is always of the form https://projecteuler.net/minimal=.... Sadly, some data cannot be obtained this way, like the awards of each number (the number of awards can be obtained, but not the exact list showing which ones), kudos, and a lot more. When the minimal API does not cover the data required, I mostly use web scrapping with packages such as requests (which is obviously also used for the minimal API), and beautifulsoup4. For the database part, I use pymysl.
Each file has a special role, which is well explained by their name. dbqueries.py contains the database stuff, pe_api.py contains the web scrapping and minimal API contact, and so on. Note that pe in the name of the files stands for "Project Euler".
