Overseerr Requests bot

discord bot for managing requests in overseerr. partly abandoned, only updating stuff breaks (for me) or i need a new feature

This is a WIP. Functionality is not complete, and error handling is not properly set Current features

• Searching overseerr and requesting from an item

Known issues

• Pagination is not implemented, will error out after 20 results.
• View code could be better

TODO

• add requests embed
• error handling
• add better logging on the api module (better-ish)
• Replace the view mess with pages and page groups (or something better)

Usage

• clone project
• create a .env with the following:

GUILD_ID=12345667.. # discord server bot resides in
DISCORD_TOKEN=bot-token # discord bot token
OVERSEERR_URL=http://your.overseerr.url # url of your overseerr instance
OVERSEERR_USER=overseerrrbot  # use your own creds. i created a service bot, admin accounts will have their requests auto approved
OVERSEERR_PASS=overrseerrpass # use your own creds. i created a service bot, admin accounts will have their requests auto approved
OVERSEERR_API_KEY=overseerr-api-key # replace with yours

#LOG_LEVEL is another env var, but unless debugging its not needed

i use the user pass and api key for refreshing credentials; gets annoying to restart the prog every week

• assuming youre running on a remote instance, either run the python program in tmux and detach or utilize the systemd file (instructions found in the systemd file)
