IRC feed parser with multiple channel/user capabilities.

Based on a very stripped down version of a fork of the IRC bot phenny by mutantmonkey

Requirements

• Python 3.2+
• python-requests
• tweepy
• praw
• feedparser - however right now it's manually overridden since some issues with python3 are not yet fixed in upstream.

Installation

1. git clone https://github.com/andreimarcu/aamnews.git
2. pip3 install -r requirements.txt
3. Copy config.example.py to config.py and edit.
4. python3 phenny -c config.py

Design

Feeds are things you want updates from (RSS feeds, etc).
Channels have feeds.
Owners have channels.

Usage

Once the bot connects to the IRC network, you can message it commands.
The global owner, as defined in the config, can issue all commands and does not to need to be added to every channel's owners.

Right now, authentication for owners is done by hostname (very easy on oftc since there are registered username cloaks), however this might not be ideal for all networks.

Commands

Global owner (in any channel or in private message)

Start updating feeds

.start

Stop updating feeds

.stop

Add a channel (max_blast is the number of items to blast maximum per update, should be 0 for unlimited blasts) and join

.add_channel "#channel" max_blast

Delete a channel and part

.del_channel #channel

List channels

.list_channels

Join all channels (happens at startup, but if bot was kicked, it can be useful)

.join_channels

Add owner to a channel (to be done in said channel)

.add_owner hostname

Delete an owner from a channel (to be done in said channel)

.del_owner hostname

Add feeds to a (different) channel

.add_feed_to_channel <type> "<channel>" "<name>" ("<options>", ...)  

.add_feed_to_channel rss "#channel" "Feed Name" "https://url"  

.add_feed_to_channel reddit_subreddit "#channel" "Feed Name" "subreddit_name" "new|top|hot"  

.add_feed_to_channel reddit_comments "#channel" "Feed Name" "https://url"  

.add_feed_to_channel reddit_search "#channel" "Feed Name" "subreddit_name" "search query"  

.add_feed_to_channel twitter_user "#channel" "Feed Name" "twitter_screenname" "yes|no" (with replies or without)   

.add_feed_to_channel twitter_search "#channel" "Feed Name" "search terms"  

Channel owner

Get max_blast

.max_blast

Set max_blast

.max_blast <max_blast>

Add a feed to a channel (to do in said channel)

.add_feed <type> "<name>" ("<options>", ...)  

.add_feed rss "Feed Name" "https://url"  

.add_feed reddit_subreddit "Feed Name" "subreddit_name" "new|top|hot"  

.add_feed reddit_comments "Feed Name" "https://url"  

.add_feed reddit_search "Feed Name" "subreddit_name" "search query"  

.add_feed twitter_user "Feed Name" "twitter_screenname" "yes|no" (with replies or without)  

.add_feed twitter_search "Feed Name" "search terms"    

Delete a feed from a channel (to do in said channel)

.del_feed Feed Name

Anyone

List feeds for current channel

.list_feeds

List owners for the current channel (to be done in said channel)

.list_owners

Logging

Phenny's own console output will show details for every run (time spent, feeds that had items to blast, etc)
