====== Streamlabs Chatbot ======

Streamlabs Chatbot (SLCB), formerly known as AnkhBot, is a self-hosted bot solution developed by [[https://twitter.com/ankhheart|AnkhHeart]] for Twitch streamers with a number of unique features, as well as now officially integrates with [[https://www.streamlabs.com/|Streamlabs]] and its exclusive services. Not to mention the software and all of its features are completely free.

There's numerous resources for learning how to utilize the bot to its fullest potential, but this documentation is an attempt at an all in one, quick and simple source for getting started and beyond. It's also important to note that a lot of these commands use an external API, coded and provided by the user [[https://decapi.me/|Decicus]] that would otherwise be impossible to do with the bot alone.

If there's one thing I can't recommend more, it's to join their [[https://discordapp.com/invite/J4QMG5m|Discord server]]. You can find support there, as well as community made addons for the bot.

</panel>

----

==== Game Specific Commands ====

The following commands are to be used for specific games to retrieve information such as player statistics.

<panel type="primary" title="Overwatch">
  * **Description**: Yes this is quite a block of text, but read it thoroughly as the overall concept is rather easy to understand. This allows users to issue commands to check various Overwatch stats of an Overwatch player and comes in two flavors for you to pick from. The first Response is for a command that checks a user-inputted Overwatch player. While this allows your viewers to check any Overwatch player on any platform, it makes it so the command can be longer for the user to type, as well as has a chance to become a source of chat spam if too many people are using it. The second Response is for a command that checks a defined Overwatch player, and what I personally recommend. This allows you to use a shorter command to check the stats, and also limits the usage so that any Overwatch player isn't able to be looked up - just you (or whoever you define). Credit to [[https://twitter.com/gerhardoh|xgerhard]] for creating the API. You can find an entire list of the various stats you're able to look up [[https://2g.be/twitch/Overwatch/|here]], and further general documentation [[https://community.nightdev.com/t/how-to-retrieve-overwatch-stats-through-nightbot/8148|here]]. **Important to note**, that if you're playing on PC and not in the NA/US region, you will need to explicitly give the region. 

----

  * **First Response**: <code>$readapi(https://2g.be/twitch/Overwatch/command/action=$target&bot=ankhbot&user=$username&console=$target3&channel=$mychannel&defaultconsole=pc&gamertag=$target2)</code>
  * **Usage**: This response **is copy/paste friendly**. The user interacts via commands such as ''!overwatch action username platform''. So for example if I wanted to check my Kill/Death ratio and I play Overwatch on PC, I would issue ''!overwatch kda crunchprank-1234 pc''. If I wanted to check the same thing, but my account was in Europe, I would need to type ''!overwatch kda crunchprank-1234-eu pc''. If I played on a console such as PS4, then there's no need for a Battletag or region and would look something like this ''!overwatch kda crunhprank ps''. 

----

  * **Second Response**: <code>$readapi(https://2g.be/twitch/Overwatch/command/action=$target&format=twitch&user=$username&bot=ankhbot&console=XX&channel=$mychannel&gamertag=USERNAME-XXXX&hideBnetID)</code>
  * **Usage**: This command **is not copy/paste friendly** but my suggested method. It requires you to make two adjustments so that it knows what user name to look up by default. So in the above response example, the parts that say ''console=XX'' and ''gamertag=USERNAME-XXXX'' will need to be changed to whatever Overwatch player you want the command to check by default for and what platform they are playing on. So if I wanted to only allow viewers to check the PC stats for ''woahh_jess'', I would make sure that those parts were changed to ''console=pc'' and ''gamertag=woahh_jess-1234''. If woahh_jess' account was in Europe, then I would change the gamertag portion to ''gamertag=woahh_jess-1234-eu''. If for PS4, I would change them to ''console=ps'' and ''gamertag=woahh_jess''. Once you have set up the response correctly, all a user would need to do is type for example ''!overwatch time'' and that would return the "time played" for the player you specified in your response.
