Run your bot with:
python bot.py
Go to a Discord server with your bot, then type !ping to check that the bot is online and responding to your messages. The bot must have VIEW_CHANNEL and SEND_MESSAGES permissions in that Discord server in order to respond to you.
Type !stats <platform> <nickname> to retrieve stats about user with nickname on a platform (pc, xbl, or psn)
The command prefix can be customzied by changing the value of COMMAND_PREFIX in bot.py.
The bot can be hosted for free by running the script on Heroku.
