🔒 Coding Help

[near haven]

I want to know how to code a discord python bot with slash commands on how to get information on a uber eats or doordash group link that shows items in cart, fees, subtotal, total, etc.

If anyone knows how to do that please let me know.

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

@near haven are you familiar with python? have you coded anything before that?

[near haven]

Yes.

but not anything similar to what im asking

[stuck grail]

okay, so where is the struggle? or you not able to find useful information in the docs?

[near haven]

Im trying to learn

how to code that

Well you'd need to be able to get that information via python before you'd be able to put it into a bot. Have you solved that?

[near haven]

no

[mortal dagger]

That would be step 1 IMO. Tracking down where the data you want is and how you'd access it. Sometimes companies don't want you automating over their data, other times they'll provide an API for you to hook into

[near haven]

im pretty sure uber eats or doordash dont provide a api for order details.

[mortal dagger]

Well then the idea is kind of dead in the water. In all likelihood, processing/redistributing their data would be against their terms. Typically if a service wants you to build on it, they'll make it easy for you to do so

Worth reading through their terms though if you want to check

[stuck grail]

if they don't then your idea can't be done without violating their TOS:/

[ripe violet]

!rule tos

[stark basin]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may violate terms of service, or that may be deemed inappropriate, malicious, or illegal.

[ripe violet]

so we wouldn't even be able to help you with that if that is the case

step 0 would be to first check if it's against their ToS or not

[mortal dagger]

I've had my fill of pouring through legalese today lol but it's incredibly unlikely that a company that big would overlook something like that

You have 2 tasks:

• obtaining uber eats etc info from their service - check their TOS docs
• writing a discord bot to use that and show the information

The second bit is probably easier, and gives you a framework for the first part.
