discoscope

Discoscope is a discord bot allowing users ask the bot whois <whatever>. The bot will then reply if it knows what the user asked for.

The response is based on a key/value system.

This bot has been designed to display pictures (since discord supports many thumbnails, including images), hence scope in the name.

If you edit whois.json, the plugin will know it and reload its cache, allowing you to make live modifications with no downtime. Pretty cool !
