discordpricebot

A Discord Bot for displaying Token Prices on Binance Smart Chain

About

This bot will interface with both Discord and the BSC Network to continually keep a log of token prices.

Note that this will only report the mid-price; buying and selling the tokens will be lower/higher than the listed price.

Configuration

See config.yaml.example. The token ticker is the parent key of the configuration.

The web3 module requires all addresses to be checksummed; you can get the proper address from BSCScan.

Authorizing Discord User

Visit https://discord.com/developers/applications and create 'New Application'.
Set a worthy name
On the page that follows, set the account name and save. Then click Bot
Create a Bot account and Save. Click 'Copy' on the Token; this is the API Key you use in the bot script
Visit the OAuth2 tab. Under Scopes, select 'bot'
The resulting URL is what you (or anyone) use to add your bot instance to a server.

A single bot instance can be added to multiple servers; the bot's nickname (the price) will be updated on all registered servers.

Installation and Execution

This assumes you already have python3 and pip3 installed on your system.

Install the pre-requisites:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Due to limitations in the discord.py module, you cannot run all bots in one instance. Therefore, you will need to create a new instance for each token by passing the argument, such as nohup python3 main.py CAKE &.

Contributing

I need all the help I can get. PRs welcome.

TODO

Error handling (web3 and discord)
Better configuration (single entrypoint file referencing external configuration)
Recording historical movements in status message
Configurable status messages (e.g. comparing CRED price to THUGS value)
