Post scores from a webhook #133

Open Cr4nkY4nk3r opened 7 years ago

Is it possible (or could it be implemented) to post scores from a webhook?

We've got a scoreboard that we're using, and could generate a POST with the winner, loser, and full score, but pongbot won't record it without it being manually posted by an actual user.

It's definitely possible to implement by turning the read-only matches API into a r/w one, inspired by whatever code in https://github.com/dblock/slack-gamebot/blob/master/slack-gamebot/commands/lost.rb. If you want to give it a shot I'd be glad to coach you through coding that.

If admins could record a match on behalf of another user (small amount of work), another option would be to expose all commands via a generic webhook and provide a mechanism for identifying a user. For example each user could just have a generated token and you could post on behalf of such user.
