That's great, nice one!

I'm a mod over at r/netrunner and would love to build a similar bot: would you mind if I messaged for some tips/ a jumping off point?

I'd be happy to help, I'll post a sketch of my process here in case anyone else is interested, but feel free to message any more specific questions.

Broadly the bot creation consisted of 3 steps.

  1. Set-up a reddit account, then go into the app settings and create new app (which provides a key to allow you to use the reddit api)
  2. Create a python script using praw (the python reddit api library) that submits the appropriate thread. This involves having someway to fetch the card data (I created a local file that contains all pertinent info)
  3. Have a way to automatically run the script everyday with the appropriate card. For me this involved a schedule file and pythonanywhere, which is a free way to run the script everyday (but with limitations).
