Line Bot

This project is a Line chat bot that I created for my group chat.

Running the Bot

API Keys

To get started, you will need your own API keys from:

• Line
• OpenWeatherMap
• fixer.io
• GitHub
• Lunch Money

All API keys can be had for free (besides Lunch Money, which you should pay for!)

Running Locally

1. Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install dependencies (recommended to do this in a virtual environment)
2. Obtain API keys and place them into your file called .env, which should look similar to the example file in this repository
3. In the main function of bot.py replace the variable called test_text with the command of your choice
4. Run python bot.py to test your command

Deployment

For info on deployment, check out Line's guide on building a bot. Line recommends using Heroku, which is what this project is using.

Note that when deploying, your server will need to run the following script:

python app.py

If running on a Heroku Dyno, there is no need to modify the Procfile included in this repository.
