• Implements the discord.py API wrapper for coding in Python along with the asyncio library to handle rate limiting.
• The Google Sheets API provides the necessary links for checking alongside the Discord channel IDs, role IDs, and database tables.
• Requests and Beautiful Soup are implemented to make the HTTPs requests and parse the HTML to monitor specific data, respectively.
• sqlite3 for data storage, with data from each URL being stored in a unique table. Data is then compared through each URL check for updates.
• The atproto SDK is used specifically to get the post from the UC Merced feed created by me using SkyFeed.

Files are split up for different feeds:

• ucmcalendar.py helps parse the HTML for events and calendar pages on the ucmerced.edu website.
• icscheck.py checks specific UC Merced related ics using the ics iCalendar library
• rssfeed.py monitors various feeds in an RSS format, including blogs, websites, and mailing lists.
• aaiscloud.py uses the aaiscloud RESTful API to obtain the daily events.
• bluesky.py checks the created UC Merced feed for new posts on BlueSky.
• newsfeed.py was specifically made for the Student Career Center's Handshake feed, but has been integrated into monitoring news feeds.
• sports.py checks for news related to the UC Merced athletic news, using the RESTful API for news.

• database.py hosts various functions that are essential in updating the SQLite database and are used in every file mentioned above.
• main.py holds all the code used for providing the UCM EON Discord with updates by using the discord.py API wrapper.
• sheets.py both retrieves the URLs, channel IDs, role IDs, and unique table names for monitoring from one worksheet and writes the URL updates into a separate worksheet.
• checksFunctions.py and sheetsFunctions.py are separate files meant for the monitoring and sheets code, respectively.
  • checksFunctions.py is used throughout the project to reduce code length for each file.

• Originally stored URLs in a CSV file created using Google Sheets before using the Google Sheets API, bypassing the need for CSV files
• Began the project by storing data for each URL in separate text files sorted by URL type. Later switched to sqlite3 to store data in a database file.
• Earlier functions had unique comparison checks before creating checksFunctions.py to reduce repetitive code.

• Use the Google Drive API to store and backup the database onto Google Drive to avoid data corruption.
• Create a github page that host the formatted events for people to see alongside the Discord.
• Implement a 'Today's events' functionality that would update the server on events happening that day. ✅
• Implement a RESTful API for other UC Merced student developers to retrieve events in a given time scale.
  • This will most likely involve splitting this project into three different repositories. One for retrieving data, one specificsally for the API, and one just for the bot.
• Discord commands to allow students to ask the bot for upcomings events. ✅
• Rework how checks are messages are done. Checks should be done separately and messages are posted in an interval. ✅ (Check the test branch for implementation)
