wheelbarrow-v2

Discord bot written in Java using JDA. It can do bunch of different stuff such as:

• Play music and apply different filters to it
• Load playlist from various sources
• Offers support for displaying track thumbnails
• Recognize music from embeded videos by right clicking on the video and selecting detect song
• Display weather forecast

Setting up the bot

FFmpeg is needed for some of the functionallities so make sure it is installed and reachable from the command propts on you system

To host the bot on your local machine you'll first need to grab the JAR from the releases sidebar or compile the project yourself by cloning the repository and building the project using gradle (gradle build).

Next start the bot up for the first time in order to generate the wheelbarrow.properties file. The bot can be launched using java -jar wheelbarrow-bot-xx.jar. After the properties file is generated the following needs to be configured:

• botToken (required, without it the bot won't work)

All the other fields are optional and can be left as they are as they require you to get your own API keys. Here is a short explanation of what each API enables:

• spotifyId, spotifySecret: Spotify's API which is used for fetching thumbnails and loading spotify playlists
• shazamCoreApi: An API used for the song recognition command which can be obtained at the RapidAPI website
• weatherToken: used for the weather forecast. Uses OpenWeather's API.

Functionalities are toggleable through the .properties file and are all disabled by default.

After the config is set-up the bot can again be started with the previously mentioned command.

Basic commands (default prefix is --)

Slash commands

Wheelbarrow also supports slash commands. The help for these comments will automatically show up when entering the command
