Discord feeder for AIL

How does it work?

The program does the following in this order:

1. login with the given account (token in etc/token.txt)
2. fetch all the servers the user is already part of
3. scan the channels in each server for the given query, if a match is found, extract the data and upload it
4. after scanning for the query in the messages, the program looks for URLs in the channels, if a URL is found, extract the data and upload it
5. once all the servers, the user has been part of, are scanned, the program joins all the servers in etc/server-invite-codes.txt and repeats steps 3 and 4 for the newly joined servers
6. after this, the program starts to listen for incoming messages for scantime seconds
7. when a message comes in, matching the query or containing a link, the data is extracted and uploaded
8. when the scantime seconds are up, the program exits

NB: When a new message arrives during steps 2-5, the program treats the new message first and continues the previous scan after completing the new incoming message.

Requirements

TODO

How to use? (Work in progress)

1. Create a file token.txt in the etc/ folder in the root directory. Add the Discord token of the account you want to use. How to get the Discord user token

2. Create a file server-invite-codes.txt in the etc/ folder in the root directory if you want to automatically join and scan new servers. Add the invite codes in separate lines in this file. (Make sure to not add the complete links! e.g., abcd1234 instead of https://discord.gg/abcd1234)

3. Run the command below with the desired parameters and wait for execution to finish.
