Stripbot is a reddit bot which posts comics to reddit. It scrapes various comic sites, and posts to discover comics. If a new comic is discovered, it attempts to post it to Reddit.
Please feel free to suggest comics by posting an issue. Note that the stripbot hosted by /u/kvdveer will only post Dutch comics to /r/strips
. If you want to post to a different subreddit, you'll need to fork the repo, and host the bot yourself.
You'll need:
- A reddit account for the bot
- An application entry
- Linux with Python 3 (windows may work too, but this guide will not be applicable)
- The dependencies in
requirements.txt
First you'll need to create a configuration file. Stripbot is configured using environment variables, so the configuration file is simply a shell script:
export STRIPPOSTER_ID="your app_id"
export STRIPPOSTER_URI=https://127.0.0.1:65010/authorize_callback
export STRIPPOSTER_SECRET="your app_secret"
export STRIPPOSTER_REFRESH="your app_refresh_token"
export STRIPPOSTER_SUBREDDIT="/r/testingground4bots"
