ClearTimer Bot

ClearTimer is a Discord bot designed to automatically clear messages in specified channels at regular intervals. This bot uses the Discord API and the APScheduler library to schedule and manage message deletion tasks.

Adding the Bot to Your Server

You can add the bot to your server using this link. Alternatively, you can self-host the bot using the guide provided below.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Discord Bot Token
• Required Python packages (listed in requirements.txt)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/biast12/ClearTimerBot.git
   cd ClearTimerBot

2. Create a virtual environment and activate it:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

3. Install the required packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Ensure servers.json and timezones.json exist:

   • servers.json should be an empty JSON object {} initially.
   • timezones.json should contain valid timezone abbreviations and their corresponding full names.

5. Run main.py and set environment variables:

   • When running the script for the first time, it will ask you to enter your Discord bot token for the .env file.
   • Additionally, you will be prompted to enter your OWNER_ID and GUILD_ID. These are optional but recommended if you want to use owner-only commands or test the bot in a specific server.
