cinch-lmgtfy¶ ↑

A simple plugin for the IRC-framework cinch to give lazy people a LMGTFY search.

The plugin requires a bit.ly user and API-key and it also requires curl and ruby header files installed.

On Debian based dists:

sudo apt-get install curl ruby-dev

require 'cinch'
require 'cinch/plugins/lmgtfy'

bot = Cinch::Bot.new do
  configure do |c|
    c.nick = "Cinchbot"
    c.server = "irc.freenode.org"
    c.channels = ["#cinchbots"]
    c.plugins.plugins = [Cinch::Plugins::LMGTFY]
    c.plugins.options = {
      Cinch::Plugins::LMGTFY => {
        "username" => "SOME_USER",
        "api_key" => "API_KEY"
      }
    }
  end
end

bot.start

To interact with the bot, just simply do

!google LazyUser how can i find foo

This is just built for fun and I have no affiliation with the LMGTFY-team nor with Google
