DDRSS

DDRSS Bot is a user-specific Discord Bot, which help user to get all bookmarks and the latest bookmark on their discord chat. It also comes with a search feature to find the bookmarks which match the specific keywords.

Bot works on daily.dev shareable bookmark URL as source data.

👨‍💻 Bot development and existence.

RSS Feed returns XML data, which is complicated and cannot use directly in apps and programs other than the website, by using feedparser -a Python package, I have converted the return data into JSON format, which is now easily extractable, and usable in building any kind of Apps and Bot (in our case).

Every time user calls a command, the bot request data from the API api.daily.dev/rss/a/***** (link vary user to user) and extract data like username, Blog/Article links, and title, and convert into JSON and return those data accordingly in the proper pre-structured message, depending on the command which the user input.

🕹️ Using the Bot:

Step 1: First you need to invite the Bot to the server, you can click on the right button for invite. 👉

Step 2: Set your daily.dev sharable bookmark URL by using command - /serurl <your sharable bookmark URL>

Step 3: It's done, now you can use a different slash command to perform the task.

✍️ Commands:

Bot use (/) as a prefix, that's every command will start with a slash (/). Every command is integrated into Discord Slash commands

⭐ Features:
