i suppose some sort of API to do this must exist in order to power BotB IRCBot

I strongly suggest you add more details to your requests so people don't have to guess what they are about. It's convenient for everyone, even yourself. [I don't intend to come off as rude or blunt or whatever pls no h8]

Anyway I should also add that with a proper BotB API, one could make fancy stuff like custom apps for it on a variety of devices.

A while ago I was curious about this because I wanted to make a Discord chat bot that was able to announce OHBs in the chats. Me and a bunch of friends hang out in a chat and usually talk about the current OHB in there if we're participating, so a public API would be useful for stuff like this and much more.

Whulp, this was started.

http://battleofthebits.com/lyceum/View/BotB+API+v1/

Still needs a lot of work; will make a proper announcement when it's more fleshed out. The base architecture is feeling solid though. I started working on a BotB Mobile platform that consumes this api. Will open source that once it's in the demo ballpark.

Also, Jangler is right. There are a handful of API's to be exact. The IRC bot has one, the would-be BotB Minecraft server has one and my youtube video generator has another. But this one, this is v1, and is read-only.

@Blaze Weednix - just connect your bot to @botb_battles tweets. (for now)

Hey puke that's cool, looking forward to when it's more complete.

Also bazz that could be a good temporary solution, thanks for the suggestion.
