Two-bot is a slack bot that counts the number of times a keyword is sent in any channel to witch the bot has been invited.

It's only practical application is to be a game. The game is to call people out for leaving their keyboard unattended, by sending the keyword from their account. Two-bot can show a leaderboard-of-shame with a list of the top victims. It can also tell you the current count for a given user.

• Clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:danieljabailey/two-bot.git

• Initialise the venv

cd two-bot
./initvenv.sh
source venv/bin/activate # or similar, for your shell (e.g. activate.fish)

(This will create a venv and install the dependencies in the venv)

• Get a bot api key for testing (and optionally another for production)

This is done by going to the new bot page for your slack workspace https://<workspace-name>.slack.com/services/new/bot Pick a username and create the bot user, then copy the api key...

cp config_example.yaml config.yaml
editor config.yaml # paste your api key in the obvious place, and choose a keyword and command

• Run the bot

Running ./run.sh will activate the venv and run the bot.

You can get real-time access to the current two statistics via the provided REST API. It runs on 0.0.0.0:2222 by default, but you can change this in the config (or disable it entirely). Below are the methods you can use:

Returns JSON array of user IDs for all the users tracked by two-bot (any user that has been two'd). User IDs are Slack usernames unless they are forwarded from IRC, in which case they are I-<irc nick> (IRC).

Returns a JSON array of objects, in descending order of two's (first element is the object with the most two's). Objects include:

• id: user ID as per GET /ids.
• name: Slack username or IRC nick
• twos: number of times two'd
• last: timestamp of last two

Returns in-deptth information about the user with id <id>, as JSON object:

• id: <id> as in URL
• name: username or IRC nick
• real_name: Real name from Slack or <irc nick> (IRC).
• is_bot: True if either this user is an IRC user passed through the IRC bridge or a Slack bot that's been two'd.

Returns information about when this user was last two'd, as JSON object:

• id: <id> as in URL
• twos: number of times two'd
• last: timestamp of last two

Will fail with 404 not found if an ID is passed that doesn't match a user (Even if that user is in Slack).

Returns information about how long the application has been running, as JSON object:

• starttime: timestamp of when the application was started (UTC, in floating-point seconds)
• starttime_s: ISO representation of starttime
• duration: Seconds since starttime (floating-point)
