ext-message

Library for sending messages to an external app

This is a simple library for sending files to external apps. As of now, this is only compatible with Discord, but with plans to expand to Slack, Email, and SMS.

To install:

pip install ext-message

To create an environment file, you will need a Discord bot API key (bots are creatable here) and your Discord user ID. Then, run:

echo user_id=${USER_ID} > .env
echo api_key=${API_KEY} >> .env

Or at these manually in example.env and run mv example.env .env. Then, run:

ext-message example.txt

or any other text file. You can also specify a custom environment file using --env:

ext-message example.txt --env example.env

You need to be sharing a server with your bot in order to receive the message.
