We need some sort of bot... (lemmy.world)

... to post race threads & result threads for at least all WT-races. Does anyone have the skills to run a bot like this?

I often want to throw a quick comment as a race is going on, but creating a race thread or a result thread is a LOT of work and it keeps me from engaging.

I think this is what we need to make this community grow.

I probably have the skills, but not sure I have the time. I'll see what I can do if no-one gets there first.

I'm a bit wary that too many auto-gen'd threads that don't get engaged with would be bad. Maybe starting with one thread per stage for grand tours and one per race for other World Tour races.

Sure, that sounds awesome 🙂 where're you going to scrape data from? Does PCS or FirstCycling have an API to hook into?
