Lunch-bot

Script and an optional Discord bot for choosing lunch options from päevapakkumised.ee and Päevapraad.ee.

All offers from selected restaurants will be scraped and each restaurant will be assigned an emoji. This can be used to select the preferred location, using message reactions in Slack or Discord.

You can run the script and copy the output manually or set up a Discord integration that posts all selected lunch offers every workday 11:40 to a selected channel.

Configure

Required

• Create a copy of config/user.example.ini and rename it to config/user.ini.
• Copy the city part from url and replace location_url with your location.
• Replace location with a comma-separated list of the names of all restaurants you are interested in. Make sure to use exactly the spelling used on the website.
• Delete optional rows you are not using, make sure to leave no placeholder values, like XXX for Discord bot token.

Optional

• Configure optional values, like custom reaction emoji or Discord bot integration. If no Discord bot is configured, the application will just print current offers to console and quit.

Run using Docker

Refer to Docker documentation for running containers on your platform. Use the provided Dockerfile. This is the preferred way of running Lunch-bot, since it avoids having to manage Python environment and dependencies yourself.

Run locally

Not recommended unless you plan to develop Lunch-bot. Install Python 3.10, install pipenv, install dependencies from Pipfile.lock and then run src/main.py.

Run as Discord bot

• Create a Discord application https://discord.com/developers/applications
• Create a Discord bot user and save the token to file config/user.ini as discord_bot_token = YOUR_TOKEN_HERE
• Find out the channel id where you would like to post lunch offers
  • copy the channel url and select the last part of the url https://discord.com/channels/XXXXXX/CHANNEL_ID
  • save the channel id you found out to file config/user.ini as discord_channel_id = CHANNEL_ID
• offers will be posted at 11:40
  • optionally, you can specify a timezone as discord_bot_timezone, example: Europe/Tallinn
  • UTC will be used if no timezone is configured

If you are hosting the bot yourself, run normally using Docker.

If you are using managed hosting, this option may not be available. An autogenerated requirements.txt file is provided for this use case that should work for most managed hosts. Upload the files, create and edit the user config file, set entry point as src/main.py.
