A simple way to get notified 📨 with all the info about every new free game on the main videogame platforms, like steam, epic or gog 🎮.
To be able to get notified on discord first you need to create a webhook that will allow the project to send messages to one channel of your server.
1- Go to Server Settings -> Integrations -> Webhooks -> New Webhook.
2- Personalizate your webhook and copy the URL that it gives to you. The url have 2 important parts:
# Webhook url example
https://discord.com/api/webhooks/4684567458694593/aL2uEoXIwrkbGE67q9ihxHRPEnua3zXoII-t6k104rMJ0kpLv2HKFCUpTZlqaRF5HiKI- The webhook id:
4684567458694593. - The webhook token:
aL2uEoXIwrkbGE67q9ihxHRPEnua3zXoII-t6k104rMJ0kpLv2HKFCUpTZlqaRF5HiKI.
Both are needed to be able to send a message with it, so be sure to write the 2 of them to the corresponding fields on the .env file.
1- Ensure you have installed nodejs.
2- Crate a .env file at the root of the project with the variables needed. See the example.env file.
3- Execute this two commands on the bash terminal on the root of the project:
# Install all project packages
npm i --save
# Run the project
npm run send_free_games_alert(You can always execute with docker-compose so you don't have to install nothing more than docker.)
4- Wait until you can see the message arrive on the channel especified on your webhook
I plan to add other platforms sus as Origin or Primer Gaming. Additionally, future updates will include support for other popular notification channels like Email 📧 and Slack 💼 to enhance accessibility and user preference compatibility.
