It's a NodeJS worker that request every 5 seconds data from the FIFA World Cup API and notifies via Slack API (It's possible to apply other ways of notification) the changes of the match.
====================================
- It notifies when a match starts
- It notifies when the score changes (this means Goal or the match finished)
It is posible to run it as a worker on Heroku :)
You need to add an Incoming WebHooks integration in Slack settings. Slack will provide a URL, it must be configured on heroku.
Example:
SLACKHOOK=https://yourslackdomain.slack.com/services/hooks/incoming-webhook?token=SomeSecretToken
The default language is English (en) but you can configure others, like Portuguese(pt) or Spanish(es). To configure simply set an environment variable in heroku named LANGUAGE.
Example:
LANGUAGE=pt
The default channel is #random but you can change that setting a CHANNEL environnment variable.
Example:
CHANNEL=general
You can change the default bot icon/avatar by setting a ICON_URL environment variable.
Example:
ICON_URL=http://worldcupzones.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/the-2014-fifa-world-cup-in46.jpg
You can change the default bot name by setting a BOTNAME environment variable.
Example:
BOTNAME=SportsBot5000
