GroupMe bot/Steam API integration

Configuration

Currently all configuration is managed by environment variables. These are the important keys; details about getting the values are below.

export STEAM_KEY=1234ABCD...
export STEAM_ENDPOINT=http://api.steampowered.com
export GROUPME_BOT_ID=1234abcd...
export GROUPME_ENDPOINT=https://api.groupme.com/v3/bots/post
export STEAM_IDS=1234,2345,3456,...

Personally I use direnv to manage environments--the above is a sample .envrc file placed in the project root.

Steam

STEAM_KEY

STEAM_IDS (optional)

Comma-delimited list of SteamIDs for the bot to follow (e.g., getting online/offline status).

You can get your own SteamID by logging in to Steam in a browser, then going to your profile. The link should look like: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/12345678901234567/

If your profile is public, http://localhost:4567/12345678901234567 or http://doto.lidaka.us/12345678901234567 should show your friend list. From here you can readily get your friends' SteamIDs.

GroupMe

GROUPME_BOT_ID

Sign up for an access token on GroupMe, then either read the tutorial or directly create your bot. Also I've already created a test bot ID and GroupMe channel--please email me for details if you don't want to create your own just yet.

When creating your bot, the host for your callback URL should be publicly-accessible, with path /bot/callback; e.g., http://example.com/bot/callback.

Running

bundle install
bundle exec ruby lib/dototime/app.rb

Visit http://localhost:4567 for the web site.

To test the callback locally, simulate posted messages (more fields documented on GroupMe's tutorial): curl -X POST -d '{"text":"!help"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' http://localhost:4567/bot/callback
