This script allows you to post leaderboards and new solution submissions from a collection of private leaderboards to a collection of Slack or MS Teams channels.
Rename config.json.example to config.json and include the following information:
- For each leaderboard:
- The ID of the leaderboard. This is the final part of the URL you use to view the private leaderboard in a browser.
- The URL for a Slack webhook or an MS Teams webhook where messages should be posted.
- Your Advent of Code session ID. In Firefox or Chromium, this can be found by clicking F12, navigating to the "Network" tab, making a request to https://adventofcode.com, and clicking "Cookies" on the request.
To post the current leaderboard, run
python -m aocannounce --leaderboard
and to post all puzzle solutions that have been submitted since the last run, run
python -m aocannounce --newscores
You may then wish to run the script as a cronjob. Be aware that requests are only allowed every 15 minutes, so make sure not to run your script more often than that.
