This script will monitor a list of subreddits for new posts and items in the modqueue. It can then send a message to a slack or discord channel or a telegram user and a private message to a list of users on reddit.
You then need to configure copy the config.json.template file to config.json and update it with the api keys and settings you want.
With docker:
docker-compose up -d
Without docker:
pip install -r requirements.txt
python ./newpost.py
Create your bot / mod account and go to: https://www.reddit.com/prefs/apps/. Create a script app and it will give you the credentials you need.
Create a slack app and get a webhook for the channel you would like to post to: https://api.slack.com/incoming-webhooks#getting-started.
In your server settings create a webhook: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks
Just fill in the usernames you want to be notified in the array. i.e "users": [ "Isa", "Owen" ],
In Telegram, message /newbot to @BotFather. Follow the steps and you will receive a token at the end, copy this token to your config.json.
To get the chat ID, send your bot a message and open https://api.telegram.org/bot[TOKEN]/getUpdates in your browser, you will find an ID there.
Then just set enabled to true on the notifications you want. You can also disable modqueue or post checking by setting mosqueue or new_posts to false. If you want to listen for only certain keywords you can add a list and enable that too.
This is still a WIP and an ever evolving project:
- Write some tests for it
- Try and cover more error cases
- Modmail notifications
- Make into a PyPI module and or systemd service
