Inspiration
-We were inspired by the API called Drug Info and Price History by Robert Nelson. -We wanted to create a bot that can look up a specific drug, and pull information about the drug (like drug usage/application, brand and generic name, and other information.)
What it does
Features: Drug lookup Reminder system for taking medication Drug Refill reminder Negative reactions with other drugs
How we built it
API - Drug Info and Price History By Robert Nelson Coding Languages - CSS, HTML, JavaScript,
Challenges we ran into
-Couldn’t figure out how to grab the terminal output and put it into the discord server. The data coming back was in a strange filetype that we couldn't figure out. -The discord bot kept repeating it self (“Interaction already acknowledge”) when given a command. This was caused by a specific piece of code that, when removed, fixed the issue. We do not understand why. -After a while, the API we chose stopped working and we began recieving an error stating that the API was unavailable even though on RapidAPI, it was able to be accessed.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
-Despite this being mostly our first hackathon, we were able to finish all of the setup and end with a bot that, while unfinished, is still functional with basic commands.
What we learned
-We learned that the discord bot isn’t hard to set up but manipulating it to do certain commands is hard.
What's next for RX_Bot
-We plan to finish implementing the search feature to the bot but do not have plans to continue after that.
