Besides from webscraping, you can also obtain data from external APIs. In this workshop, I'll making a bot that integrates with the Giphy API to send a gif with my input. The Process Goal: Input a keyword and output a related gif. Since I want to send a image back to the user, I'll probably need: send_image() Image url returned by the API

To extend from the Echo Bot, I made a RateMyProf bot using the same tools and skills, with a little bit of web scraping. The Process Goal: Input a professor's name and output their RateMyProfessor's link. Since I want to send a link back to the user, I'll probably need: send_buttons() URL button Scrape the ratemyprofessor.com's website to grab specific information

Last time, we made an echo bot that only replies back whatever you sent it. This time, we will mess around with the Messenger API and further explore its capabilities. This tutorial will include multiple resources that can aid you with your "exploration" :eyes: I'm trying out a new approach for this tutorial. There won't be step-by-step instructions, but instead there will be several "challenges" throughout this tutorial accompanied by different resources I used to learn when I was learning how to do this myself! This might involve a lot of "Googling" and exploring on your own, but don't worry, feel free to message/Discord me if you have any questions at all :smile: We'll be using the PyMessager Python wrapper for the FB Messenger API to make it easier on us!

Open Source @ UCSD In this tutorial, we will be using Glitch to create a simple Messenger Bot, the Echo Bot! Some tools that will be utilized: Flask A "microframework" that allows you to make web services and applications
