About The Project

Michigan Bot is a simple discord bot I built to educate/annoy my friends. Invite it to your server and any time someone mentions "Michigan" the bot responds with trivia about the state. The bot itself is written in Python using the discord.py library, while the facts themselves are accessed via an API I built in Typescript.

Getting Started

You can invite Michigan Bot to your server using this invite link.

If you want to build from source and create your own version, you'll need to set up an app and get a bot token in your personal discord account first.

To run the bot locally:

1. Clone repo and set up .env

git clone https://github.com/jclark1913/michigan-bot
cd michigan-bot
touch .env

2. Add the following to your .env:

DISCORD_TOKEN = YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN_HERE

3. Set up virtual environment (optional but recommended)

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

4. Install dependencies

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

5. Run
