Plans - Deal Bot (compuverse.uk)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by cameron@compuverse.uk to c/gamedeals@compuverse.uk

For new subscribers to this community, I plan to write a bot which will automatically find and post deals (likely using the fantastic resource that is https://isthereanydeal.com!)

So hopefully we'll soon have awesome deals being posted here automatically :D

EDIT: The bot is live: /u/gamedealsbot!

At present, this is pulling data from yesthereisadeal.com
I plan to add support for more deal sources in the near future!

The first version of this bot is now live! I've got many more plans for it in future, but I think I've got a good proof of concept working now :)

I saw that! I dig it so far. Not even sure if this is possible but I was wondering if there was a way to put the Metacritic or Opencritic score on the post and add filtering by score?

I saw you were able to snag when the game was historic low which was pretty cool too. Filtering for those things would be really neat.

Good ideas! I'll take a look and see what I can do :)

At present the information (including the historic low indication) is coming from the same source as the deals themselves (https://yesthereisadeal.com), I'll have to look into trying to extract the game's name, and attempt to match it to an OpenCritic / MetaCritic score!

Thanks for the suggestions, if you have any more ideas, please do let me know :D
