A Discord bot for Apex Legends
Welcome to the apex-bot repository! The apex-bot currently interfaces the Apex-Tab API which provides the functionality to search for Apex Legends players and check their game stats. The discord bot makes it easier to check how your friends and teammates are doing in the game and gets information about their played games, kills, damage, skill level and rank.
To setup the apex-bot project please follow the steps below:
- make sure you have the latest stable version of node.js installed. You can download it from https://nodejs.org
- clone the apex-bot repository
- go to the Discord developer portal and setup a new bot account. Here is a good tutorial how to do it
- after the bot is created, copy your bot's secret token and paste it in the auth.json file of the apex-bot project.
- run the following command
npm install - when all npm packages are installed you can type
node bot.jsand it would start the bot.
You can add your bot to any Discord server you administrate with this link
https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={OAUTH_CLIENTID}&scope=bot&permissions={PERMISSIONS_INTEGER}
The OAUTH_CLIENTID placeholder stands for your custom Client ID that is generated for your application by the Discord developer portal. The PERMISSIONS_INTEGER specifies bot's permissions and it can be generated from the Discord developer portal.
In discord you can type the following to check what commands does the bot support.
