This IRC bot automatically parses links posted in chat rooms and prints information about them.
Currently explicit support has been built in for:
- YouTube
- SoundCloud
- Wikipedia
- Direct image links
Generally, for websites that are not directly supported the bot will print the page title.
In order to properly run the bot, you need to register a SoundCloud application and get a YouTube Data API key for it and then feed the API data to the bot through the command line arguments.
The bot can be installed through Go using this command:
go install github.com/icedream/irc-medialink
Then you can find out which options you can pass to the bot directly by running (assuming you put your $GOPATH/bin folder into your PATH):
irc-medialink --help
You need to at least pass the --server, --youtube-key, --soundcloud-id and --soundcloud-secret parameters.
You can use the icedream/irc-medialink image in order to run this bot in Docker. You can pull it using this command:
docker pull icedream/irc-medialink
An example with docker-compose would look like this:
