A telegram bot for meeple market which matches "in-search-of" and sale posts and notifies users
The bot uses two things from a posted message in the group
- a message tag, supported tags are:
- to search for a game:
#lookingfor, #iso, #looking - to sell a game:
#seekinginterest, #auction, #sale, #sell, #selling - to mark a game as sold:
#sold - to mark a game as found:
#found
- to search for a game:
- a game name, the more accurately your name matches the BGG name, the better your chances of success
This game name is then searched against BGG, and converted to a game id if a successful match is found.
If the bot was able to find a successful match, it will react to the message with a 👍
Important note: Keep the first line of your message limited to only these two things
a hashtag and a game name (as seen on BGG)
All other details like condition, price, location should be present only in a new line
