Post to slack incoming webhook URL.
perl world-cup-slack.pl --slack=https://hooks.slack.com/services/...
Process an existing JSON file for debug
perl world-cup-slack.pl --debug=12345678.json
Increase politeness sleep (defaults to 2 seconds)
perl world-cup-slack.pl --slack=... --sleep=10
Specify multiple Slack URLs to post to multiple workspaces
perl world-cup-slack.pl --slack=... --slack=...
Specify name and location of db.json file. This may be
helpful if you are running multiple instances of script.
perl world-cup-slack.pl --slack=... --dbjson=/some/file.json
Testing by posting to Slack is also possible. Use following instructions.
- Remove your db.json file.
- Run script once with --slack argument provided.
- Go into db.json and manually update one of the "status:0" games to "status:3"
- Run script second time, it will collect events and keep them with "posted:0"
