Relying on https://github.com/pirxpilot/liftie, this Discord bot is able to retrieve ski area lift status and display them in Discord with a command.
The bot is ready to be containerized with a Dockerfile and be worked on using Devcontainer.
Very much WIP, and for fun.
The concept is to "cache" https://liftie.info every 30 minutes to avoid loading their website, using fetch_lift_status_from_liftie.py.
It downloads information to data/lifts_status.json.
Of course, you will need your own BOT_TOKEN in some .env file, in the following format:
BOT_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN_FROM_discord.com/developers/applications
Then, liftie-bot.py simply responds to (slash commands) /lift <resort> commands and autocompletes them.
For example:
/lifts and start typing loaf, the bot will filter all resorts with loaf, such as sugarloaf.
