EVE: Online Killmail Reddit Bot (EKRB)
EKRB is a web-scraping bot has two core functions. The first is it searches the /r/eve sub-reddit for posts containing zkillboard.com killmail links before posting a reply to said post with the summary of the killmail. This bot is primarily for mobile phone / tablet users who would otherwise be too inconvienced to view a killmail link or links, users with low connection speeds who load killmail pages very slowly, and PC users who would simply rather quickly see the gist of the information rather than clicking 10 different links alike.
The second function being it detects any kills on zkillboard.com worth 20 billion or more ISK and then posts a thread onto the /r/eve subreddit with the core information as the title.
EKRB is no longer in development and has been canceled until further notice. If you are interested in reviving the project, please feel free to email vehk@protonmail.com and I would happy to discuss the process of porting it to Reddit's new API and Python 3.
Version 2.0.48 supports zkillboard and posts the following information:
- ISK Dropped
- ISK Destroyed
- Total ISK
- Names of both victim and pilot scoring the killing blow and their ships
- The number of pilots involved
- The system the kill took place in
- The fitting of the victim's ship
- Date of kill
- Corp and alliance information for victim and pilot scoring killing blow
