GameDeals Bot

Scrape FREE deals from r/gamedeals and post in Discord.

This bot scrapes r/GameDeals on Reddit every 15min to see if any FREE things have been posted. It checks the title using RegEx for the words FREE or 100%. If it finds those words it consders it a deal worth posting. It then checks the database (SQLite) to see if we've already saved this deal and, if not, saves it to the database.

The Discord Bot portion then queries the database for a list of all items that have not been posted, creates an embed, and posts all unannounced deals into the designated channel.
