remy

A Telegram bot that will send you recipes for the ingredients in your fridge. This was built for a video tutorial here.

The bot has a few commands:

• /recipe [ingredients] Will retrieve recipes that contain the ingredients supplied.
• /happyhour Will return a random cocktail recipe.
• /random [optional:tags] Will retrieve a random recipe. Available tags can be found on the Spoonacular site (diets, intolerances, cuisines, meal types).
• /taco Will return a random taco recipe.
• /help Will show available commands.
• /start Will start the bot.

Examples in Telegram:

• /recipe ribeye, eggs, shallots, carrots
• /happyhour
• /random
• /random breakfast

Setup

Clone the repo and install requirements. This uses pipenv to manage the environment so make sure that's installed:

git clone https://github.com/automagictv/remy.git
cd remy
pipenv install --ignore-pipfile

Get your Spoonacular and Telegram API keys and save them as environment variables.

Running the Bot Server

The bot server can be started with the following command:

cd /path/to/remy
export SPOONACULAR_KEY="YOURKEY"
export TELEGRAM_TOKEN="YOURTOKEN"
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)
pipenv run python remy/runner.py

Then message your bot to start cooking!

Testing

The tests can be run with pytest via:

pipenv run python -m pytest

Or to test an individual module, run:

pipenv run python -m pytest tests/[test_module].py

Enjoy!
