random-owen-wowson

A Discord bot to send random Owen Wilson "wow" clips. Powered by the Owen Wilson Wow API. This bot is written using the hikari and hikari-lightbulb Python libraries for Discord. It features a small HTTPServer for checking the "up" status of the bot which is designed for use with free services where the bot needs to be "pinged" to keep it alive.
