Discord Bot Inductions

A bot to support induction requests for rLab

Developing locally

• Follow step 1 of the Discord developer docs - getting started to create and install an app with permissions
• In the Discord application go to Bot and turn on the different Privileged Gateway Intents. These are needed for the Python library this bot uses to integrate with Discord.
• Install ngrok so that you can create a local tunnel
• Run ngrok http 8080 in the console
• On your Discord application set the General information -> interactions endpoint url to [ngrok forwarding url]/api/commands
