… to post race threads & result threads for at least all WT-races. Does anyone have the skills to run a bot like this?
I often want to throw a quick comment as a race is going on, but creating a race thread or a result thread is a LOT of work and it keeps me from engaging.
I think this is what we need to make this community grow.
I can have a pop at this if you’re short on time. That sounds like a sensible place to start with post quantity.
Go for it. I’m aware of https://github.com/baronet2/FirstCyclingAPI, https://github.com/josselingirault/procyclingstats.com-webscraper/, https://github.com/themm1/procyclingstats that might help.
A good first step might be to get a bot that posts scheduled posts, even if all the data that goes into the posts is manually entered (e.g. all stages in one go at the start of the race).
Ah nice, thanks, I’ll have a gander through those. Yeah I was thinking just to get a bot up and running to simply posts threads to begin with, then I can look to integrate with calenders, post stats etc.
