TourDeFranceBot will notify a Slack channel/group for every stage during the Tour de France 2016.

It uses the unofficial letour.fr json API (the one used for their mobile app iOS/Android).

It will post a message :

• when a stage will start (with info about it + map)
• every telegrams from the feed (could be too verbose..)

Here is a preview of the Le Touquet-Paris-Plage - Lille Métropole stage (from 2014).

• PHP >= 5.3
• You need a token from Slack:
  • Jump at https://api.slack.com/docs/oauth-test-tokens (you have to login)
  • and you will find your token.

• Clone this repo
• Set up a cron to run every minute:

* * * * * cd /path/to/folder && php tourDeFranceNotifier.php >> tourDeFranceNotifier.log

Everything can be posted in 4 differents languages (de, en, es, fr). Spanish & Deutsch need to be done.

The code is ugly but it works ©
