#rtVidFeed Rooster Teeth videos to Discord Webhooks via python

Made for the Rooster Teeth/Let's Play family of Discord Servers, but feel free to use and modify it for anything.
I barely know python, so this is probably hacked together just barely enough to function...

Huge shoutout to Nick Molloy for making the API interface. It's hard to believe that a company as large as Rooster Teeth doesn't have a documented API or public feeds available for their content, and his python script does the job perfectly.

---

####Setup:

• First you'll need to make sure you have rt_api by Nick Molloy installed. In Terminal run:
  pip install rt_api
• Next, open up vidfeed.settings
  • Replace <Website> on line 2 with the name of the site you want to pull videos from. Available options:
    • RoosterTeeth
    • AchievementHunter
    • FunHaus
    • ScrewAttack
    • GameAttack
    • TheKnow
    • CowChop
    • Blank - This will feed you videos from ALL the above sites
  • Replace <Username> and <Password> on lines 4 and 6 with the username/password of an account on RoosterTeeth.com that has a FIRST Subscription (This is necessary to retrieve links to FIRST-exclusive content. If you filter out FIRST content, you don't need to provide these.)
  • Replace <Main Feed Channel Webhook URL> on line 8 with the Webhook URL that Discord gives you in the channel you want all non-FIRST videos to be linked in
  • Replace <FIRST Feed Channel Webhook URL> on line 10 with the Webhook URL that Discord gives you in the channel you want all FIRST-exclusive videos to be linked in
  • Replace <Webhook Avatar URL> on line 12 with the URL of the image you want to be the avatar of the bot when it posts in your Discord channels
  • If you want to filter out non-FIRST content, change line 15 to be aI00
  • If you want to filter out FIRST Exclusive content, change line 16 to be aI00
  • After all this, your vidfeed.settings should look something like this:

    S'RoosterTeeth'
    p1
    aS'firstSubscriber'
    p2
    aS'ispasswordastrongpassword'
    p3
    aS'https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/lots of random numbers and letters'
    p4
    aS'https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/lots of random numbers and letters'
    p5
    aS'http://placekitten.com.s3.amazonaws.com/homepage-samples/200/286.jpg'
    p6
    aI0
    aI01
    aI01
    a.```
    
    

• After that, you just have to set up a cron job (or other persistent timer) to keep running the script
