Headless chatbot that detects spam and posts it to chatrooms. Uses ChatExchange, takes questions from the Stack Exchange realtime tab, and accesses answers via the Stack Exchange API.

Example chat post:

User documentation is in the GitHub wiki.

To set up, use

git clone https://github.com/Charcoal-SE/SmokeDetector.git
cd SmokeDetector
git submodule init
git submodule update
sudo pip install pip --upgrade
sudo pip install beautifulsoup4
sudo pip install requests --upgrade
sudo pip install websocket-client --upgrade
sudo pip install phonenumbers
sudo pip install regex
sudo pip install termcolor

To run, use nocrash.sh (preferably in a daemon-able mode, like a screen session.) You can also use python ws.py, but then SmokeDetector will be shut down after 6 hours; when running from nocrash.sh, it will be restarted. (This is to be sure that closed websockets, if any, are reopened)

You can run . ChatExchange/setp.sh to set local environment variables so that you don't have to log in every time.

SmokeDetector only supports Stack Exchange OpenIDs for now.
