## dadabots_old/



This directory contains older bots temporarily banished to purgatory. They need to be updated to function with the latest Soundcloud API. 



## How to run AUTOCHIPTUNE bot 



```

git clone https://github.com/Cortexelus/dadabots

pip install soundcloud

```



Install Librosa either `pip install librosa` or from [source](https://github.com/bmcfee/librosa/)



Install [jupyter notebook](http://jupyter.org/)



Run ```jupyter notebook```



Register for the [Soundcloud API](https://developers.soundcloud.com/) and get a secret key. 



Register a [new account](https://soundcloud.com/signup) on soundcloud for your bot. 



Open *Dadabot_Autochiptune.ipynb* in jupyter notebook. 



Search for `client_id` and `client_secret` and update them with your soundcloud API credentials. 



Search for `bot.username` and `bot.password` to your new soundcloud account credentials. 



Execute all the code.



Needs at least one follower in order to start spidering. 



As long as jupyter notebook server is running, the bot will continue to make new tracks. 



If you register for Soundcloud Pro the bot will post new tracks FOREVER



## Making a new bot



Copy *Dadabot_Autochiptune.ipynb* and edit it. 



## Example output 

```

## todo 



* Dadabots became a monolithic notebook of code. Separate it back into its reusable pieces, so new bots are easier to make, and old bots are easier to update (whenever soundcloud API changes).



* Store activity in database.



* One follower got annoyed because the bot remixed 5 of his tracks (randomly). Instead remix one track per user until all users have been remixed. 



* Remix tracks which users send bot in a private message. 



* Unfollow users which do not follow back after n days.
