-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.)
Features:
Drug lookup
Reminder system for taking medication
Drug Refill reminder
Negative reactions with other drugs
API - Drug Info and Price History By Robert Nelson Coding Languages - CSS, HTML, JavaScript,
-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.
-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.
-We learned that the discord bot isn’t hard to set up but manipulating it to do certain commands is hard.
-We plan to finish implementing the search feature to the bot but do not have plans to continue after that.
