This has been abandoned bc the scraper does not work when run from an AWS IP range to discord.

RoadMap

• webscraper lambda
• microservice lambda as search API
• microservice lambda as API to handle DynamoDB interaction
• minimalist react front end to demo dynamic search function based on inclusion and exlusion tags

Usage: scraper lamba

Cloud: WIP

Using Postman, curl, or your own webserver, send a POST request with a JSON body object containing your search tag.

https://oxngnmwe2h.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/scraper_lambda

Search Tag:

{ 
	"tag": "YOUR_TAG"
}

For example:

curl --header "Content-Type: text/plain" -d "{\"a\":16,\"b\":12}" https://oxngnmwe2h.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/scraper_lambda

Locally:

git clone git@github.com:yffenim/discord_server_finder.git

Install dependencies after entering pipenv environment in /scraper_lambda/ directory:

pipenv shell
