Inspiration

We got our inspiration because we like Studio Ghibli movies - and coding a discord bot seemed fun!

What it does

Soop (the discord bot) accesses the Studio Ghibli API for a list of Studio Ghibli movies. If the keyword 'ghibli' is in the message, Soop will send a random Ghibli movie. If the keyword 'watched' is in the message, then Soop will recommend a new movie, that is different from the previous movies.

How we built it

We used discord.py on repl.it to code for the discord bot, then found a Studio Ghibli API.

Challenges we ran into

We ran into the challenge of finding and appropriate API to display the movies. One of the functions we wanted to incorporate is to have Soop recommend movies based on personal preferences or user input - which we will address in the future.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We made a discord bot! And we were able to take data from an API and display it when prompted.

What we learned

We learned how to use python for the function of Discord.

What's next for Discord Bot - Soop!

We're continually expanding Soop and his functionalities, along with the server he's posted in.
