[CustomAPI] Quote system

This will return a random quote

!quote 4
This will return the 4th quote in the list
You can use negative numbers (-1 would be the last quote)

!quote cookie
This will return a random quote containing the word "cookie"

There's also a special command:
!quote list
This returns a webpage with all the quotes in a list

Add a quote

To add a new quote, you simply pass it to the !addquote command:
!addquote This is a new quote!

Remove a quote

There are two ways to remove a quote. Each quote when printed has an id, so you can use that:

This will delete quote #5
!delquote 5

Or, you can specify a substring of the quote, it will only delete it if there's only one match
!delquote new quote

Editing a quote

This hasn't been fully tested yet, and it's not automatically added as part of the "Automatic install", but you can manually add a "!editquote" command pointing to http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote using the private key. The syntax is:
!editquote [id] [new quote]

So for example:
!editquote 5 new quote replacing quote #5

Common issues

I accidentally got rid of my !quote command

If you still have access to the private token (used for !addquote/!delquote), you can recover using:

https://twitch.center/customapi/quote/recover?token=<private_token>

Unicode characters don't work

Nightbot handles special characters fine, you may not have installed the commands properly. If you're using another bot, you need to lookup documentation for that bot and contact them, as they behave differently. For example, on StreamElements bot, you need to use $(queryencode $(1:|' ')) instead of ${querystring}.

I'm getting 500 error

There may be something wrong with either Nightbot or my servers. Wait a bit for transient issues; if it persists, feel free to DM me on Twitter.

Suggestion / bugs

This is fresh out of the oven and hasn't been thoroughly tested yet.
If you run into any strange behaviors, feel free to make a post here.
Similarly, if you have any suggestion for extra functionality, feel free to leave a comment.

Just set this up for a streamer who used to have a bot setup for quotes but no longer does. This worked via manual installation just fine, haven't seen any issues so far (haven't used it extensively obviously) and actually seems a lot more expansive than most quote systems on other bots. Nice job!

is there a way to customize this so that instead of using !quote, !addquote, and !delquote, we can use something like !darren (or anything specific)? What im trying to set up is a system so that you can add quote-sets for different regulars in a chat.

For example:
!darren would return a random quote from darren.
!john would return a random quote from john.
!barry would return a random quote from barry.

How would I need to customize the command to be able to do this? Also, is there a way to remove the number of the quote in the response? Right now, any time i use !quote, it's returning something like "3. TestQuote"; I'd prefer it just say "TestQuote"

You can achieve that using manual installation. If you go to the generate page, it gives you 3 commands. First is for getting a quote, second for adding and third for deleting.

Go to the nightbot control panel > commands > custom, and manually add 3 commands (!john, !addjohn, !deljohn) with the 3 commands respectively. Make sure to set !addjohn and !deljohn to moderator only.

Then, refresh the page the generate page to get a new set of links, then repeat the same process again for barry and darren.

Currently there's no way to remove the number. You kinda need to for knowing which quote to delete. You can delete quotes with words but it's not a very safe way of doing it.

Awesome! i got the first part to work (unique quote indices), but wondering if there's still not a way to remove the number from the return response.

I understand your point about the numbers being important for when you're deleting quotes & the quotes list, but shouldn't there be a way to have the quote return everything but the number?

When a new quote is entered, it's assigned a number in the list (which will adjust if you delete quotes added before the newest one); since we're adding the quotes without numbers, Im sure there's a way to see the quotes without them. I believe that this would be similar to song lists in Nightbot--Nightbot will assign a song a number when it goes into the queue, but doesn't necessarily show that number when someone issues a command to see what the current song playing is.

I don't have much experience with coding, but if you want to send me a copy of the custom api then I could at least try to take a stab at something. If you'd rather not send it over, no worries...even if we can't figure out a way to remove the numbers, this is still a pretty cool feature!

Here you go:

Simply append &no_id=1 at the end of the !quote link.

It'd look something like so:

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=******&data=$(querystring)&no_id=1)

This is perfect. Thank you!

Hey, I have a problem with server respond. When I add quote and then I type !quote, bot responds Nightbot: Remote Server Returned Code 500. So, how should I repair it? Thanks :)

@Calm Peacock Thank you for reporting the bug! There was an issue with Unicode characters, it could be fixed now.

Thank you so much, just one more thing, the same problem is with !quote list --> http://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=23a39153 There is the same respond with code 500

Good catch once again. Fixed.

Great job :) Thank you so much. This is the best API i had ever used :)

Hi, is there anyway to delete all quotes at once or do you have to go one by one?

I actually did add something for that, forgot to document it here, I'll add it in a bit.

In the meantime, refer to this post:
(link expired)
If you have any questions, as how to set it up, feel free to ask.

Any idea how to add a quote with a specific number? For example, if I deleted quote 1, and there are quotes 2 and 3, how do I add a new quote in the space of quote 1 without it becoming quote 4?

If you delete quote 1 quote 2 becomes quote 1. All the way up the line, the rest of the quotes fill in the gap.

Is there any way to make nightbot say random quotes using timers?

Yes, actually. In your timer if you set the alias to be your !quote command or if you set the message field to be customapi/urlfetch for the quote grabber missing the $(querystring) variable it will always pull a random quote for your timer to send out.

So, i should put something like:
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=TOKEN)

Is that right?

Put:
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=TOKEN&data=)
Just to be safe

Worked great! Thanks guys! 😃

looks like there is some kind of problem if there are too many quotes...
i've added more than 1000 quotes and nightbot seems to have problems retrieving some with higher numbers 😕
Is it expected behavior? Is there optimal quote limit?

Can you give your channel and specific command that fails?

The channel is https://www.youtube.com/user/DOneDarkness
The specific command is the !quote
Sometimes it works, sometimes not... It seems to never work with something like !quote 900

Worked fine when I tried the commands on Twitch. I tried 800, 900, 1000, and many more and it all returned perfectly. Youtube doesn't let me type in your chat while you're offline so I can't test there, but it seems like it's an issue with Youtube, maybe specific the links you have in your quotes?

There are more than 500 diferent links on my quotes (all adult...), could be them, but seems random...
Sometimes works, sometimes don't 😕 And low numbers, like 100, 200 seems to always work.

I think there is way to test on youtube, using the gaming.youtube system: https://www.youtube.com/live_chat?is_popout=1&v=wAzL2VuybxA

Edit: After some more testing, looks like i'ts youtube's fault 😦
Short links are working, bigger ones that have "<wbr>&shy;" are not, and they were before...

You're right, it is a YouTube problem. I'll reach out to their developers.

Sorry for the delayed response. YouTube developer reached out to me and stated that this bug will be fixed by them in their next release.

gonna hope they don't take too much time... It's very limiting 😦

I started getting "Remote Server Returned Code 500" when deleting quotes from the list.

EDIT: After a while the quote seems to be deleted from the list but still, the behaviour is quite weird.

I see the bug, should be fixed now.

I'm actually using this for a queue system instead, and it's more effective than anything else I've tried. Would it be possible to add a command to display all quotes (or queue'd entries in this situation) directly into the twitch chat? Can't use the !quote list command as it would be posting the token for all to see, and having it post directly into the chat would be more convenient for this purpose. Thanks!

There are two tokens, a "public" token, and a "private" token.
The one that is given out when you type "!quote list" is the public one,
and it's safe if people get to see it. The private one is only used in "!addquote" and "!delquote".

Posting in chat is very limiting because:
1. There's a character limit
2. There's no new lines

Ah, I see. That should work just fine then, thanks.

Is there any way to use "sub strings" on timers? Did not worked when i tried 😊

for disabling the numbers, what are you supposed to add the string of text to specifically? The website or the command itself?

/t/customapi-quote-system/1534582092787093695#m1534582104283676672

See ehsankia's post, he gives an exact example of what the command will look like. The disabling of numbers goes into the command and all quotes added using that one won't have the numbers applied i believe.

I'm having a weird problem where, when the quote system is being called by Nightbot's Timer, it always returns with "No matching quote found." It doesn't matter if it's calling on an alias command or if the raw command is pasted into the message section of the timer, it acts the same. However, if I call it using a regular custom command it works perfectly. Any ideas?

What I believe the issue is that the required message in the timer is picking a quote that doesn't exist.

To fix this change the $(urlfetch) link to $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=TOKEN) and putting this in the message of the timer. Removing the &data= is fine as that is only used to choose a specific number or list link, both unused in a timer.

Yay thanks for this, no issues so far...

I have an issue with the quote system (after the numbering features such as quote 1,2,3 have been removed) I'm having an issue with the !quote list option as it thinks list is part of a quote and give the "No Matching Quote Found" response

What channel is this on?

And can you show me what your quote command looks like on nightbot?

I'm currently using this quote system on https://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayed Also, by the quote command, do you mean the command or the code for the command itself?

Yes the code for the !quote command only

The !quote command is displayed as a urlfetch, but the url itself is the same url provided in your post, but with the &no_id=1 added to the end of it. This is the knowledge you requested, correct?

Great API, one question, is there a way to edit an specific quote, or do i have to delete it and re add it??

You would have to remove and readd. Don't support edits yet.

Is there any possible way to make nightbot show random quotes over time? I tried to make a timer in the settings, but whenever the timer triggers it only says "No matching quote found". I guessed it would work, because when I write the !quote command, it returns a randomly chosen one, but when the nightbot writes itself, it only returns that message. Thanks!

Its most likely due to lack of proper data in the message field. If you have any text it will run the !quote command with that text.

To fix, simply have the timer run the urlfetch with the quote api in the message field instead of a timer. Use this link instead http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=[TOKEN] (with the token replaced with the one in your !quote command). It should post a random quote and due to the data field being blank it should fix the issue you are having, as it won't search for a command.

Hi I am moderator with access to my streamers channel nightbot. She has added the Quote system and I have tried all of the methods above to try and help her get her nightbot to show the random quotes. They either provide the No matching quote found, Missing "token" argument, check installation guide or some variation. Sadly none of them seem to work for hers. The last one of the missing token was with following @Sparkly Hamster not sure if I mixed up order of the token vs the token number from the !quote command. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

What if you append &data= at the end.

Agile Elephant said:
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=TOKEN&data=)

I tried that both with putting in the token# in and without and adding the &adata= at the end still getting no matching quote found :(

The method i mentioned and used (http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=[TOKEN]) works perfectly fine:

Settings: https://i.imgur.com/8CRaKL7.png
How it shows in chat: https://i.imgur.com/DshqqVH.png

If you want to test with mine, here is what i have in the message field. You can try it on your own or make yours match:

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=825e0f39)

Thanks so much and the screenshots helped as well. I think I was using the wrong token was trying the non public one even with the format you posted here and had the no matching quotes found. Then I looked at what you put here and the screenshot and discovered it was the "everyone" quote code it needed and that by having the !quote command not in the part where it asks for a command to trigger it worked. Thanks everyone for all the help.

I am having difficulty with the !quote command in a channel that I mod for.

!addquote lands here: $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=[TOKEN]&data=$(querystring))

!delquote is this: $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/delquote?token=[TOKEN]&data=$(querystring))

But, !quote says, "No quotes have been added". Even though the count is like, 25 or something like that. I believe I have the original token messed up. Can you help me fix it?

what does your quote command look like? Your add and delete look fine, but you probably have an error in the !quote one

EDIT: It should be:

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=f5afe6db&data=$(querystring))

And yes, this token can be shown publicly, it's different from the token used for add and delete.

That's fixed it! The token WAS messed up on Quote. Thanks so much.

Instead of using the public token to build a list in twitch chat, can it take the user to an external link (similar to the DJ song list). The reason for this is because I want to display all quotes to them (using it as a Rocksmith 2014 song request list) possibly using an external site or document. If my stream were popular and I had 100 song requests I can't show these to the users without dumping a ton of text into my twitch chat which would result in missed messages and would look ugly.

That's what the link generate when you type !quote list does. It gives a link using the public token, and when the user goes to that link, they see a full list of all the quotes.

Hi there! Loving the system.
I was wondering if there was a way for one command to grab the $(query) information from a previously used command. I wanted all user levels to be able to suggest quotes, but I don't want them to be automatically added without mod approval.
For example:

User#1: !suggestquote Farting is funny.
Nightbot: Farting is funny.
Mod: !acceptquote
Nightbot: Successfully added quote #1

So !acceptquote would be similar to !addquote except that it would take what User#1 wrote without the mod having to retype or copy/paste the suggested quote. Hope that's clear. Thanks! <3

I don't think it's possible with the current technology, and also, this could be annoying if someone suggests another quote by the time you go to type accept. You can still have some sort of suggestion, and then admin would have to manually type "!addquote <paste quote>" which is a bit annoying but yeah, sadly it's the best that can be done right now.

If you really really insist, it wouldn't be too hard to have a pair of custom api, one that just takes an input, and another API that gives you back the last item submitted to the API. I could see this being useful in other places I guess.

@Agile Elephant if I am using your quote system to generate highlights like @Tidy Chipmunk explained on another thread and I wanted it to also generate the stream title into the thread how would I go about doing this? Also if it matters I'm using it to generate highlights for friends stream I am mod in not my own. Thanks in advance!

If your using my example with

!commands add !addhighlight -ul=moderator -a=__highlightadd [$(time America/Denver "MMMM d | hh:mm a")] [ $(query) ]

Then just add $(twitch $channel "{{title}}") anywhere after a=__highlightadd

So !quote list just works? Or how do I set that up

It works by default, yes.

Trying to make !delquote moderator only

Where do i have to add -ul=moderator to do so? Where I have it currently is giving me invalid output from nightbot

(if you could show in the full string) <3

is -ul=moderator even correct in this? or am I to use $(userlevel) and if so where should that go then?

This is how you would add the command in chat:

!commands add !delquote -ul=mod $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/delquote?token=TOKEN&data=$(querystring))

All modifiers -ul= -a= -c= go after the command name (!delquote in this case) you can read about that here: https://docs.nightbot.tv/commands/commands at the bottom

thank you sir on both questions <3

If you do the automatic at the top, it should take care of that for you (although only the channel owner can do it).

Also, you can use the nightbot control panel site to do it, which provides you with an interface which makes it easy to set these kind of extra options. You can also edit old commands to make them moderator only.

I plan to use the Quotes for stupid things I say on stream. I added the time a quote was entered by adding:

&data=On $(time America/Denver) name said: $(querystring)) to the !addquote command.

It produced the following when I typed !quote: 2. On September 29th 2016, 4:54:47 pm MDT GMT-06:00 Greyhart said: Testing, testing...1, 2, 3!

I thought I'd put it here in case someone wants to do something similar. You can play around with formats, if you don't want the entire date/time.

P.S. Thanks for the commands! They work great!

Could you tell me how to modify the !addquote command to add a timestamp and the game that was played? I've been trying to work it out myself, but not had much luck so far ^^
Really appreciate this API, it's brilliant 🙂

@Sturdy Bear

Sure, here's a few things you need to pick first:
1. What timezone do you want the time in. In my example, I'll use US/Pacific. Here's a full list:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
2. How do you want that datetime to look. Here's a short table for common formats:
<img src='>
There's more advanced one, but I'll pick "L" for the date and "LT" for the time.
3. How you want it to all look. For my example, I'll go "[TIME] [GAME] quote"

Here's what the data segment looks like
&data=[$(time US/Pacific "L LT")] [$(twitch $(channel) "{{game}}")] $(querystring)

It's a bit complicated, but all you need to change here is US/Pacific, and maybe the "L LT" if you want a different format. You can also try changing the [ ] and the order but be careful.

Then, the FULL thing looks like this:
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=MY_TOKEN&data=[$(time US/Pacific "L LT")] [$(twitch $(channel) "{{game}}")] $(querystring))

Except I replaced my token with MY_TOKEN.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! I was just struggling to determine how to add the time part and couldn't fine the game command. Really appreciate the time you took to put this in:)

@Agile Elephant Running into an issue where I call the list but only one quote shows up. Currently have 3 quotes in the entire list. http://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=8df3f178

I only see one quote right now, unless you removed that.

If you call "!quote" it give one randomly. If you put "!quote 1" or "!quote 2" it'll give that quote

Yeah that is the issue. Only one quote shows up in the list but I actually have 3 entered in. See below:

CremasterContusion - Today at 12:35 AM
!swquote 1
NightbotBOT - Today at 12:35 AM
Exanimus is a death cult obsessed with become undead. They have taken a technological approach in using cyberware to keep the body just barely alive.
CremasterContusion - Today at 12:35 AM
!swquote 2
NightbotBOT - Today at 12:35 AM
The Trade Federation is a sovereign, neutral agency that protects the FTL lanes from piracy and ensures fair trade. Similarly, they are the galactic equivalent of a police force.
CremasterContusion - Today at 12:35 AM
!swquote 3
NightbotBOT - Today at 12:35 AM
Ron Schlotskie, Residential Badass. *Puts on purple slotted shades and motors away.

Should be fixed now.

Do your magical coding abilities know no bounds?!? What a time to be alive! :cold_sweat:

Hey @Agile Elephant,

One more issue with nightbot. When using the call in nightbot's timer it returns Nightbot : No matching quote found

But if I run the command manually with the same call it behaves as expected. Any idea what the difference could be?

Are you sure you made the timer properly, and there isn't an extra space at the end. Honestly I should probably strip extra spaces, that might fix your issue.

Yeah no spaces. Exact string that we had before entered into the timer.

What did the query look like?

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=8df3f178&data=$(querystring)&no_id=1)

Yeah, you can't use variables in timers. Here, $(querystring) get's replaced what what the person puts after the command in chat. But in timers there's nothing. So basically just remove that.

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=8df3f178&data=&no_id=1)

Interesting. I removed that before and still got the same thing. :( But I'm trying it again

Yeah it worked. Damn. I totally tried taking that out and it didn't seem to work. Thanks again Ehsankia!

It's working great for me, I've added it to 2 of the Channels I'm a Nightbot Editor for, I'm Just wondering if there's a way to just have month/year without a Day for the time stamps? I don't see it in the list of common variables

Edit: I Just realised it's a normal Nightbot $(time) command, DOY. I found it... Still This is a great API, Keep Up the good work 😃

Here's Yep you can put any valid time format string. More examples here:
http://momentjs.com/docs/#/displaying/

Getting "no matching quote found" again. 😦

This time it is on my other list: http://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=d49fff23

Timer Query: $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=d49fff23&data=&no_id=1)

This seems to be working fine with the Timer Query you posted.

Figured this out. I had an alias defined in the configuration of the timer. Case solved.

When adding a quote to the bot today, I'm getting "Remote Server Returned Code 500". But I can retrieve and delete quotes, just not add this one for some reason. !addquote Either that, or Duncy hasn't had a chance to harden for a very very long time.

Any idea what might be causing this? Otherwise I'm really happy with this API! Thank you for developing it :D

Interesting, it has to do with the game you're playing (Pokemon) and the fact that your quote automatically includes the game name. More specific, it's the "é" in the name. But the bug isn't with you, it seems like nightbot $(game) is sending the game name with the wrong encoding. It seems to be latin-1 instead of utf-8?

@night can you look into that?

Aha! That makes sense for sure. Thanks for looking into it :) Is there a way I can add it manually? I like having the game and time added to the quotes so that we have a referencepoint.

@Agile Elephant do you have a quick repro for the issue? encoding is already utf8

The way I have it is:

$(urlfetch http://example.com/?data=$(twitch $(channel) "{{game}}"))

And my channel game is set to any Pokemon game with é in it.

And my server is receiving data=Pok%E9mon

\xe9 is a valid latin-1 character, not utf-8

Should I be wrapping the $(twitch) variable in some query variable?

Yes, you should be wrapping it in $(querystring).. so $(urlfetch http://example.com/?data=$(querystring $(twitch $(channel) "{{game}}"))) should work I think

Works, though using $(channel) was giving me "unknown twitch channel". Is there a nest limit for variable? Because this is 3 layers deep (twitch inside querystring inside fetchurl).

I hardcoded my channel name though and can confirm the unicode bug goes away.

so try that @Sturdy Bear, surround the $(twitch) variable with $(querystring) and you may need to replace $(channel) with your real channel name.

I'm somewhat lost at this whole thing, so could you help me modify the command I've got so that I can adjust it to the two version of nightbot I maintain?

This is my !addquote command:
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=redacted&data=$(querystring) [$(time Australia/Lindeman "L")] [$(twitch $(channel) "{{game}}")])

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=redacted&data=$(querystring) [$(time Australia/Lindeman "L")] [$(querystring $(twitch $(channel) "{{game}}"))])

if that fails replace $(channel) with your actual username.

Thank you very much for the help! I had to add my actual username, but then it works perfectly.

I really appreciate the support and help given here, by all three of you. Thanks again :)

@Tidy Chipmunk @Agile Elephant if I want it to call on it in chat as a Highlight instead of saying Quote added how would I go about doing this?

Is the issue only the reply, saying Quote added instead of Highlight added? Unfortunately that's on my end and I can't really change it without making this API much more complicated

yeah that was the only thing. was just wanting it to be a bit more uniformed and look a little cleaner in chat. I figured it was probably something I wouldnt be able to do but figured I would ask anyways. thanks for the speedy response!

Hi!
is there any chance tu use the list on OBS BROWSER?
with autoupdate?

Just wondering how one could modify this into a !kills list instead?
It's for a DayZ streamer and while it's easy to just implement the quotes system with a different command name it'll still return "Successfully added quote #", which I'd also like to get rid off.
But, the main issue is that I'd like to make it work like this: A mod updates the command with !addkill and a clip link, the old kill that was there gets moved onto the list that's fetchable with !kills and the new one (so not a random one) gets fetched by !kills.
So basically, I want the word 'quote' replaced with 'kill', and I need it to always fetch the newest kill off the list, because there's also a !lastkill command into play that has to do that. I'm stuck with that, pretty much. I thought about using the ´$(count)´ variable but I don't think it's possible to tie the ´$(count)´ from another command into that ´!lastkill´ one.

Thanks in advance!

I've got an idea for your !lastkill command:

Have another bot with a count variable (ie. Ankhbot) join the channel and make sure the streamer has added it as a moderator.

Assuming you're familiar with Ankhbot custom commands, you can set up a command on Ankhbot called !addkill such that after Nightbot has added an entry to the kills list, Ankhbot will respond with "!editcom !lastkill (whatever text you want here) $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=(YOUR_QUOTE_TOKEN)&data=(ANKHBOT_COUNT_VARIABLE))"

What this essentially does is change the entry ID search in the !lastkill quote API every time someone uses !addkill

Make sure to make the Ankhbot !addkill command moderator-only.

This may not work if Nightbot can't react fast enough to different commands in such a short time.

Let me know how it turns out! 🙂

functionality was already added so that two bots aren't needed to a grab the entry in the list.

Now if you simply call !quote -1 the last added entry is shown. Instead of worrying about two bots keeping counts and any nonsense like that

Thanks for the tip! Didn't know you could input -1 for the most recent entry.

So I guess the syntax for @Silky Dolphin 's !lastkill command could just have -1 in the data parameter for the quote API then.

Correct. That feature was added because of his request.

And to be more specific, you can keep going further negative to get the 2nd last result and so on. I'll add it to the documentation at the top.

Can I do like an automated list thing that when somebody says !jq he will automatically get to the list which only moderators can see by typing !list?

Example: A guy named Josh comes to my stream and says: "Hey, are you doing art for people?" Then he types !jq and my bot says: "You have been added to the queue in position #?". Then I can see who is next in the queue by typing !list or something.

My mods are now taking care of the list by just editing the !list command manually which is really, you know, not the best way.

if you make !list a command that does !commands add !list -a=!quote 1 replacing !quote with whatever you set your original quote command to be, it will list the first person in the list.

You could then similarly make a delete command that pops the first person off the list: !commands add !pop -a=!delquote 1 replacing pop with whatever you want to call it and delquote with whatever the command is for deleting individual quotes. Doing this automatically re-sizes the list, so number 2 becomes number 1, etc etc. So !list will work fine after deleting.

@Sparkly Hamster Now I got everything working except when you type !list it only shows the first person on the list. And when I do !editcom !list -a=!quote list it says the website where you can see the full list. But can you make the command !list so it shows the full list without going to the website?

No, because the list can be any size and there is no formatting supported. The services only allow a certain amount of characters in a single message and i believe in nightbot restricts customapi's to returning 400 characters. The link to the website is the easiest way to give the most information to those who need it.

Ok. Thanks anyway 🙂

I was able to modify the commands to use this as a list for listing things. How would I go about modifying it, if I wanted to add something to the top of the list and have everything move down. For example,

1. John
2. Steve
3. Frank

I want to know add Jason to the list but he gets to be #1.

That isn't really possible with the quote api. Things are added in chronological order and the order only changes when something gets deleted (everything below the deleted thing moves upwards).

Why do you want/need to do so?

I am using the "queue" system as a list for participation in our groups. So people sign up and we had them to the list. Certain activities, like donations, winning a raffle, etc. would get a person to be #1 on the list. I was unable to find any other custom APIs for lists and do not know how to do it myself and this was the best way I was able to find.

Hi, I can add quotes to my private token, but when I try a !quote it says no quotes added, I tried to see my quotes replacing the token on !quote list, it also says no quotes added..
I can add and remove quotes with add/del commands..

"!quote" takes the public token, not the private token. And the private token and public token must "match" as in generated together. Are you sure you installed it properly?

Try generating a new private and public token, add a quote using the private token, and check the "!quote list" using the public token.

I generated a new one and made a manual installation, works fine now, something was wrong with the automatic installation.

Also, will there be a problem if I generate more than 1 token for my channel? I have somethings set in mind that I need aleatory responses to it, this quote system would work perfectly.

would it be possible to edit a quote after already creating one. If so how can I go by doing that. It would be really helpful. Thanks

@Maple Kangaroo Hmm I'll look into automatic installation to see if something has changed. And yes feel free to install multiple ones (within reason).

EDIT: Just tried automatic installation and it worked fine for me. Not sure what the issue was for you.

@Amber Kangaroo I did add quote editing a few days ago per someone else's request and haven't documented it here yet. It's not fully tested, and has to be installed manually, but if you send an /editquote request, with the index followed by the new quote, it'll work.

so !editquote 5 this is the new quote with !editquote pointing to http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote, with your private key.

would this work for integrated places such as discord? or would I have to enter something else for that to work?

Do you mean nightbot for Discord? I don't see why it shouldn't.

Yes that's what I mean. I tried it on discord but it doesn't seem to do anything.

I think I'm missing something. I'm not sure

hi~ it is great but $(user) cant function normally it cant work with &data=On $(time Asia/Hong_Kong "L LTS") $(user) said: $(querystring)) but can work with &data=On $(time Asia/Hong_Kong "L LTS") $(touser) said: $(querystring)) (youtube) it return "a Remote Server Returned Code 400"

$(user) proble tnx if can solve

if it can support $(user) it will be really perfect, i will give 100/100% for it !! (≧▽≦)❤

$(user) breaks if the name contains unicode characters I'm guessing (localized names on Twitch) since it's not inside the querystring and it's not being url encoded.

Is there a way to pull up the full list of your quotes? I would like to print it out so I don't have to try to remember which quote was 10 or 15.

If you used the default commands or set it up automatically you can use !quote list and it will give you a link to your list of quotes.

However it sounds like you may make use of keyword searching. !quote [keyword(s)] will also search for quotes containing the words you use. So you don't need to remember the number if you remember something specific about the message.

That did it! Thank you so much

so how can i solve it? is it possible to solve it? (X (the name really contains unicode characters haha..) I'm really great to see if i can use $(user) in the quote system ~~ ^ ^

Try $(querystring $(user))

and if it is possible add a &defdata ? haha, (if no any entry after !quote ,it will show the default quote )

The current behavior is that an empty !quote will return one of your quotes at random.

Hello! First of all thanks for this wonderful api! I love it. I just have a few questions.
I did it the automatic way but changed the commands later on through nightbot.
I replaced 'quote' with 'chrystalball' (add, del, edit).

The thing is I have added 11 Quotes for testing purposes and it seems to always
repeat the same Quote over and over? The thing is, the first 3, 4 tries it seems to work
but no mater what I type always the last added quote will be used.

My other question is can I trigger that command without '!' or do I always have to type
!chrystalball. I am pretty new here but I think I have seen that it can be triggered without '!'.

And does it have to stay at first? Like: Chrystalball what's up? <> What's up Chrystalball?

A lot of questions but I really appreciate your work!!!

It does have to be at the start, but you can remove the ! if you'd like from the command name.

try typing !chrystalball list which gives you a link to all your entries. If it's in there, it should show up. If you can show through thorough testing that it doesn't, then there's a bug which I'll try to fix.

Feel free to have a look at Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/mfccr0nic.
The list is shown if you type !chrystalball list

Edit: fixed the '!'

Looks like you got the ! working, and in my trials, it seems to get all 11 of your quotes?

@Agile Elephant In a quote list of 7 quotes the commands "!quote -7" to "!quote -1" access the quotes saved in the spots 1 to 7 respectively with the numbers -6 to 0 associated to the quotes. Additionally "!quote 0" always seems to access the last quote in the same way "!quote -1" does. I assume this behaviour is the same for any length list, although I have not tested it further.

The "!quote" command also accessed the last quote with the displayed index 0 once, that was immediately after I had added that exact quote and I have not (yet) seen it happen again.

This really is a non issue, just thought it interesting when I tested the system and mayber something that's easy to fix.

Either way thanks for the work on this!

Negative index working backward is a feature. It was for someone who wanted a command that always prints the last quote, so I added -1, and also made negative numbers index from the end of the list. And yes it works on any size of course.

I'll have to look at the code but I'm not sure if index 0 has a well defined behavior.

Is it possible to get multiple results from our !command [keyword(s)] intead of just the most recent matching?

I don't think it's the most recent, I'm pretty sure I had it so it randomizes between all matching results.

So if you have 5 quotes containing "banana" and you type "!quote banana" you'll get one of the 5 at random every time. if you're looking for a more specific quote, try typing more keywords?

Multiple doesn't quote work. Quotes are limited to 400 character, which is also what happens to be roughly the limit for a single twitch message, so returning multiple doesn't work. Also, the bot api only let's us return a single reply, not multiple. We also wouldn't want nightbot to spam 20 quotes in a row either.

I get it, for me i'm using it to store clips. so I'd like a search to return a few clips with matching keywords, but its cool I understand. at least i know its random now 😃

Hey,
Is there anyway I can edit quotes? I have my quotes set up chronologically and sometimes I make mistakes but can't edit it. If I delete the quote and re-add it, it'll be last and it'll look weird as some quotes before it would have later dates!

Also,
Is there a way to search for a number? When I do !quote 10 it brings up the quote in 10th position but I want it to bring up the quote containing 10!

If some could help me to do any of the things above I'd be grateful!

Add a !editquote command similar to !addquote but to the /editquote endpoint in the api. Then do

!editquote 5 new quote

to edit the 5th quote

Ok thanks, but do you know if their is a way to do the second thing?

There's no way sadly

Oh ok! Is there any chance that you'd implement it, or no?

hey am lost after make the command !editquote what messgae to i put in

@Glad Buffalo Doubtful, there's no clean way of doing it.
@Amiable Flamingo This is advanced customapi setup and it's kinda beyond the scope of this thread.

Is there any chance that you could send me the code with instructions on how to edit it (or preferably with the changes already made)?

could there be a way to show the total of quotes without having to go to the quote list every time?

You mean a command to show the number of quotes?

Basically yes. Just a command to show total quotes made

Alright, added !quote # that gives you the count of entries added.

Cool thanks again 😃

Hello ehsankia,

An inexperienced mod tried to add a quote by editing the !quote command, resulting in the loss of the API call. I'm now trying to fix the command, but have no record of the public token. Is there anyway to retrieve it using the private?

Private message me your private key and I'll get you your public key.

How can I format my add command in such a way I can specify who said the quote? Here is what I'm looking for:
!addquote Maddyn13 The answer is 42.
When querying that quote with the quote command would return:
"The answer is 42" - Maddyn13, May 1st, 2017

I've got the date part figured out from reading this thread, but I can't figure out how to separate the username from the quote. I always end up with "Maddyn13 The answer is 42." for the quote. Does anyone know how I can modify the following so that the user isn't part of the quote?

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=XXXXXXXXX&data="$(querystring)" - $(touser), $(time America/New_York "MMMM do, YYYY"))

You can do so with a little eval, but it gets a little hard to follow so just use this command and replace the token where you need:

!addquote:

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=[YOUR_TOKEN]&data="$(eval var q = "$(query)"; q.slice(q.indexOf(" ") + 1))" - $(touser), $(time America/New_York "MMMM do, YYYY"))

Thank you. That appears to work. I kind of follow what you did but I don't code/script enough to retain it. I'll forget it tomorrow. lol

Hello,
i recently installed the commands for my channel (btw i think they are great nice job to the creator). Ichanged some of the code to add some text on the list and so on nothing important. However now i am trying to set a command so all the duplicate entries will be removed. I use the api so wievers request a character i should pick and then i remove it so the command !nextrequest shows me the next character i should pick, i want to see if its possible to creat a command such as !delquote but instead deletes all entries with the same name. If it isnt is it then possible that the command !addquote replies (or not) with "this quote is already in the list" and doesnt list it. I am not very familiared with the language used on nightbot but i have knowlegde in java and c++ if thats any useful. Ill apreciate any help.

How do I use !quote list to display the list without using a URL?

Lists are generally too large to fit in chat and they would be cluttered because twitch chat doesn't support newlines. So its not recommended to do.

The discord message limit might be much higher, but there still is one, so I don't think it'd be a good idea either. And anyways, there's no way for me to tell if the request is coming from Twitch or Discord so I have to always assume I have a 500 character limit. There are many other discord bots, maybe some of them support a better quote feature, but this is mostly made for Twitch use.

I'm a moderator in a stream and I'm having trouble with the delete quote command. The command I have written is

-ul=mod $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/delquote?token=TOKEN&data=$(querystring))

When I try to delete the quote that we have in the system, nightbot responds with "Invalid Entry Index". When I do !quote, however, it shows the first quote. Was there something that I was supposed to change? I'm very new to creating commands like this. Thank you

@Quirky Beetle -- For example if you wanted to add the "Add quote" command, and have only Moderators be able to add quotes, the command would be:
[code]
!addcom !addquote -ul=moderator $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=YOUR_TOKEN_HERE&data=$(querystring))[/code]
Remember to replace "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" with your actual token.

Alternatively you could access Nightbot's dashboard, navigate to Custom Commands, find your !addquote command if you already have one and just edit it by changing the User Level to whatever you want to set it to.

How would I find the actual token?

If you read the original post there is a link to a page that generates your own tokens/URLFetches:
https://twitch.center/customapi/quote/generate
Once you head there, take note of all 3 lines because the next time you open that page or refresh it, the token on those 3 lines will be re-drawn (randomly generated).

Thank you so much for your help. When I fixed the part about the userlevel I accidentally got rid of the token. I really appreciate your patience

Hey,

I just want to say this API is amazing, works perfectly. Thank-you for creating this and sharing it with us.
Keep up the great work :)

I was wondering how I could use this for a song request queue for a rhythm game like Guitar Hero. The original idea I had was if I could have two quote lists: the first with the songs available for request and the second with a queue of songs requested by users. If this is possible, could it also pull the entire quote using its index from the first quote list?

If these are possible, I have more questions to build on this but I just want to make sure I'm on the right track to finding a solution

Why not just have a static list on some other hosted website(Pastebin, Google Docs or Github), then use the quote system for requests.

Hello,

i have a question.

Somehow my command !quote was deleted and the specific URL was lost. Now i added a new !quote command, but it has another URL.

So my recent quotes got lost. Is there any posibility to regain them or the old URL?

Best regards,

Stan

Do your addquote/delquote command get deleted too? If you can PM me your private token I can recover your public token that's used in !quote. But if you complete reset all 3 commands and replaced your addquote, then you probably lost that too. Depending on how many quotes you had, I can try to manually search for it but it's a lot of work.

Hey,

i think the delquote/addquote should be:

But i tried to recover it myself, and it didn't help.

I only had 12-14 Quotes on my account. That's all. Maybe it is easy to find them.

I guess you're not gonna use this anymore so it doesn't matter as much, but in the future never post your private key publicly. I backed up your quotes but someone could've gone and deleted them all if they were faster than me. In the future PM it directly instead.

Here's the quote that were until that token:
https://pastebin.com/yyUZkteW

If these aren't it, then they're probably lost.

Oh and make sure to change your add/del quote commands after this.

Thank you very much.

That are exactly the quotes. I will change my commands. Thank you very much for your kind help!

I appreciate it very much

how did you get your foolowers

can you give me the list url of token=2? i want complete this command
the code have 223 word but commands only can enter maximum 200 words
the solve sulution is decrease the length of value "r"
and please open the $(touser) write permission,let regular and moderator also can write

This is a check in syetem code
$(touser)$(eval var p="$(touser)",q="$(urlfetch https://goo.gl/WFDDfh)",r="$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=2c918790b386a896&data=$(touser))"; if(p==q) {("今天已簽到，請明天再來!"); }else{("已簽到，獲得50個932幣"); })

@Agile Elephant -- I was wondering... Is there any way I can make my !addquote command not spit out the message "Successfully added entry #"? I wanted to have Nightbot say a custom message when the entry is added, and for the most part I've managed so far, but along with the custom message Nightbot also responds with the successful bit...

Thanks a bunch in advance!

That's a great idea! I also want do that

@Quick Turtle: In the mean time you can do what I did and use the str.slice() method to cut that message out of the response. But it'd be nice to have an option and not have to add extra code into the command :P

Hi, I tried to set quotes up on a timer using $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=TOKEN&data=) as the timer message, but nightbot is only pulling the last quote on my list every time. I also have the alias set to !quote.

I have a quick question. Would it be possible to get two quote commands running under different names? Because I would like to have a quote command for quotes... Big surprise there haha. But I would like to have a second one for drink recipes. So If someone would use !drink negroni, the recipe for a negroni would show up in chat. Is this possible to do?

@Cobalt Rhino, yes, manually install another set of quote/addquote/delquote commands with a new token, but with a different command name, such as !recipe, !addrecipe, !delrecipe. Just press the manual install and it generates a new set of keys.

@Rosy Elephant, Sorry, I'm not sure. If you private message me the private quote, I can look up the exact command that's being send to my server.

I have two questions (and requests for functionality, if there's not already a solution):

1. Is there a way we can make the command not return anything unless the query matches a word in one of the quotes? I've used it to simulate a two-word command (if someone says "I'm cool", for example, it would respond to them with "I'm cool too"), but whenever anyone starts a sentence with "I'm", Nightbot chimes just chimes in anyway because it only has the one quote to work with.

2. Is there a way to name/tag quotes, so that they are only returned in response to a specific word instead of being returned if any word in the quote is matched? I'm curious about this both for the aforementioned situation and just in general, as I'd be more likely to use the quote system as an actual quote system (with another set of keys, of course) if this were possible as opposed to having to request it by number or a phrase contained within the quote.

Thanks for reading and responding.

Just out of curiosity, did you ever figure out a solution to the issue @Rosy Elephant had. I have been trying to do the same thing and have been getting the same result. I have tried just using the command to retrieve a quote, as well as I have tried to use a random number command and then alias to the regular quote command and it also results in Nightbot just pulling the last quote.

Hello 🙂
Is there anyway i can only allow a user to only use the command once unless i clear the whole list with clear=1?

Also is there a way to delete several quotes at once? for instance !delquote 20-40?

Kind regards

Go to https://twitch.center/customapi/quote/generate. You will see three lines. After token= on the first line, you will see your first token. After token= on the second and third lines, you will see your second token. Use these to replace FIRSTTOKEN and SECONDTOKEN before you add the following commands.

!addquote (alias to !addquoteadder)

$(eval queueString = `$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=FIRSTTOKEN)`; userExists = false; regex = /\d+\. \["(.*?)",".*?"\]/g; while ((match = regex.exec(queueString)) !== null){if (decodeURIComponent(match[1]) === `$(user)`){userExists = true}} if (userExists && `$(userlevel)` !== "moderator" && `$(userlevel)` !== "owner") {"?"} else {"?token=SECONDTOKEN&data=" + encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([encodeURIComponent(`$(user)`), encodeURIComponent(`$(query)`)]))})

!addquoteadder

$(eval `$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote$(query))`.includes("Successfully added entry") ? `Your quote was added @$(user)` : (`$(query)` === "?" ? `You already have a quote @$(user)`: `Please use !addquote @$(user)`))

!viewquotes

$(eval queueString = `$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=FIRSTTOKEN)`; message = ""; regex = /\d+\. \["(.*?)","(.*?)"\]/g; while ((match = regex.exec(queueString)) !== null){message += decodeURIComponent(match[1]) + ": " + decodeURIComponent(match[2]) + ", "} message ? message.substr(0, message.length - 2) : "There are no quotes added")

Each of the quotes are encoded to include the username of the person who added it. So you'll have to parse each quote before it can be properly displayed. If you want my help with this let me know.

Lucky Beetle said:

I don't think it's currently possible to delete several quotes at once, because Nightbot is unable to loop through $(urlfetch)'s.

Sweet i will try to install that!

Is it OK that i basicly made an 8Ball command for nightbot using the Quote system?

Command:
!addcom !8ball $(user) has asked 8ball the Question: ◄$(query)?► 8ball Awnser is: ◄$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=833fab7d&no_id=1)!►

(anybody can basicly add this code without any problems)

Would you improve it in anyway?

For instance. if there is no $(query) given it would reply with You got to ask a question first or something.

It's only necessary to use the quote system for an 8ball command if you have too many responses to fit into the command itself. Are you sure that you do?

!8ball command that doesn't use urlfetch:

$(eval r=["It is certain","It is decidedly so","Without a doubt","Yes definitely","You may rely on it","As I see it, yes","Most likely","Outlook good","Yes","Signs point to yes","Reply hazy, try again","Ask again later","Better not tell you now","Cannot predict now","Concentrate and ask again","Don't count on it","My reply is no","My sources say no","Outlook not so good","Very doubtful"];(`$(query)`?r[Math.floor(Math.random()*r.length)]:"Ask a question")+` @$(user)`)

I didnt even know that was a possibility...

Now i gotta ask. Is there a way to make a Voting system based on your quoting system?

I am seeing quite some endless possibilitys as long as it fits into nightbots command line.

Lucky Beetle said:

That is possible. I have to go now but I can write that command later if you want. But are you aware of the existing !poll command?
https://docs.nightbot.tv/commands/poll Let me know if that fits your needs.

Sadly the !poll command does not alow deleting things that have been done already or adding new things. i would have to redo the poll command everytime.

Edit: i also would like voting to be done in the chat with !vote 1 or 2 or 3

Everything seems to work but the quotes themselfs are not being added.
(i copy pasted them from your post not the lines u see in this quotation of your post)

I've tested the commands, and they work. Make sure you are copying the commands exactly and replacing all FIRSTTOKEN AND SECONDTOKEN

My Bad :) i made a mistake. it works now :)

Ivory Mouse said:

Yes :D i would like that very much :)

This is what i have build right now.

I used one generated string to design a set of 12 quotes all named Empty.
And i used another generated string to make a !votelist command for users to know what can be voted for.
Wich i can change by using (this would be !changevote1 <input> , changing both quote 1 and 7, there would be 6 identical commands for 2/8, 3/9, 4/10, 5/11, 6/12):
~~~
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote?token=STRING&data=1 $(querystring))$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote?token=STRING&data=7 $(querystring)) $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote?token=STRING&data=1 Vote for $(querystring) with !vote1)
~~~

Voting itself looks like this (this would be !vote1, there would be 6 identical commands for 2,3,4,5,6):
~~~
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote?token=STRING&data=1%20$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=STRING&data=7&no_id=1)%20-%20$(count)) $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=STRING&data=$(user) voted for Option 1)
~~~
Wich adds a number behind quote 7 and Places that on quote 1.
It also registers on a AGAIN seperate generated string who voted for what.

I also made a Results command (wich is the reason i sticked with 6 options since it does not fit in the command line)
~~~
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=STRING&data=1&no_id=1) ♦ $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=STRING&data=2&no_id=1) ♦ $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=STRING&data=3&no_id=1) ♦ $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=STRING&data=4&no_id=1) ♦ $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=STRING&data=5&no_id=1) ♦ $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=STRING&data=6&no_id=1)

~~~

The votelist command
~~~
SUBSCRIBERS ONLY! To see what you can vote for check: twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=STRING&no_id=1
~~~

So this system works kinda. But is a hassle to reset. You need to go to Nightbot and reset the counts once your removed something.
and this also allows users to vote 100000 times on one option wich is not ideal.
BUT AT LEAST I TRIED 😂

Go to https://twitch.center/customapi/quote/generate. You will see three lines. After token= on the first line, you will see your first token. After token= on the second and third lines, you will see your second token. Use these to replace FIRSTTOKEN and SECONDTOKEN before you add the following commands.

Users vote by typing !vote #, where # is a number between 1 and 6. If a user attempts to cast a second vote, their original vote will be removed. A moderator can change the title of the vote with !votetitle New Title Here or reset the vote to default with !votereset (also resets title). The results are displayed with !results.

!vote (alias to !voteadder)

Tested and worked! Awesome :P the link u posted for generate had a 1 on the end tho. Is it very complex to add actual names to the options 1-6 (maybe more options)

I don't understand. Can you rephrase this?

Lucky Beetle said:

You should be able to manually edit the default values {t:"Title",v:{1:[],2:[],3:[],4:[],5:[],6:[]}} in !votetitle (run this command immediately after !votereset to initialize the default values).

You can change it like this:

{t:"Title",v:{"Game Title 1":[],"Game Title 2":[],"Game Title 3":[],"Game Title 4":[],"Game Title 5":[],"Game Title 6":[]}}

The voters would have to enter the game titles exactly though. But that's easily fixable if you only intend to use strings as voting options.

I could come up with a command to allow mods to enter the options if that needs to happen often.

This would indeed happen often. So that command would be much apreciated :) something like

Be careful when adding !vote because it is exactly the character limit for a command.

DUDE! it works perfectly!! :D You cant use spaces in !voteoptions tho. so I need to do "Horizon-Zero-Dawn". Is that normal? if so then no problem ill work with it! :D

Im super happy that this works so wel!!!

You should definatly make a topic about this here so other can implement it too :P Maybe generate an auto installer

Also just a side idea :P is there a way to generate a string of the usernames who already voted? So i can check who still needs to vote incase i want to wait till all my subs have voted.

It seems to be removing the vote when somebody votes an unvalid entry.

Lucky Beetle said:

I think this was due to Nightbot loading the quote pages slowly sometimes. The old commands were removing then readding the vote quote to change it. So when one command attempted to read the votes before another command finished readding them, all the votes would be lost. I modified all the commands to use editquote so this shouldn't be an issue anymore.

Go to https://twitch.center/customapi/quote/generate. You will see three lines. After token= on the first line, you will see your first token. After token= on the second and third lines, you will see your second token. Use these to replace FIRSTTOKEN and SECONDTOKEN before you add the following commands.

I wasen't typing it too fast I waited at least 5-10 seconds between commands. I think the problem was that in the Vote command it read the quote line, saved it and then removed the quote line. But if the voteadder replied with "else{Please use !vote @$(user)}" there would be no new quote line made, hence deleting the quote entirely.

Hi! I'm wondering if there is a way to add the game the streamer is playing, what day the quote was said on, and who said the quote, to this quote command? Thanks.

@Misty Snake Change your !addquote to something like this:

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=TOKENHERE&data=$(querystring $(time US/Central "M/D/YYYY") $(user): $(query) ($(twitch CHANNELNAMEHERE "{{game}}"))))

Remember to replace TOKENHERE with your token and CHANNELNAMEHERE with the channel.

Does it matter if I'm a mod editing this command, or does the actual streamer need to do this to get the correct token?

You will need to use the same token as the one in your existing !addquote command. If you don't know what that is, you should go here https://beta.nightbot.tv/commands/custom and find out. You need to be a manager for the channel to access the web interface.

You can also go to https://twitch.center/customapi/quote/generate and get new tokens. But these quotes will be entirely separate from the quotes in your existing quote system.

Thank you so much! It works GREAT!

I have one more question. When I add the quote, it says "Davis0293:" and then the quote so it looks like whatever quote i'm trying to add, I'm the one that said it. Is there a way to fix that?

that's because of the $(user) variable in his command, you should probably remove that.

Thanks! That did it!

when i try to add the edit one i get this, im not sure what it means by this, can someone help?

After data= in your URL you need to supply an entry index, followed by a space, followed by the new value. Everything after data= also needs to be URL encoded.

For example, to change entry 3 to "my new value":

http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote?token=ca002408d58e1b4d&data=3%20my%20new%20value

I moderate multiple Twitch channels, and I have set up quote systems for a few of them. Tonight, they stopped working, with Nightbot only responding with "[Error Connecting To WebProxy Service]". Is this a temporary outage in the site hosting the quotes, or is this an issue with the individual Nightbot instances for these channels? Or is the API no longer supported? The quote list is still accessible using a link generated before the error started, but using "!quote list" will not generate the link.

This has happened once before, and it came back online within an hour. This time, however, I am unsure. I shot a tweet to nightdev, but it'd seem they take awhile to reply. So, for now, we'll just see what happens in the coming hours.

I use this api for quotes as well, so I'd very much like to see this come back online.

Quick note, there was a time were nighdev was completely down, and I was unable to access the list of quotes. So from one api user to another, make a backup just in case.

The api is back online

I don't really see anything on my end so it may have been Nightbot. Got here too late to properly experience it myself so it's hard to tell.

Hi, This quote system is great, but is there a way to allow me to @ someone in the !quote command without it messing up the search or list feature?

For example I want to be able to put in
"!quote datdudelarkin 3" or "!quote datdudelarkin 1/12 something"

and get "@datdudelarkin (w/e the 3rd quote is)" or "@datdudelarkin (a quote that matches the "1/12 something" search)"

@Ivory Mouse (saw you were quite adequate and helped others, any ideas? I will have too many quotes to just use the 8ball command)
trying to make !quote function as a customized !8ball command however any typing after my !quote command (i.e. "!quote Is the sun hot?") always returns the final quote in the list. is there a way to make this stay random?

Change the command to not take any parameters, by removing the ($querystring) part.

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=b4954d74&data=)

Thank you so much! working perfectly!

I just discovered this forum, I moderate another channel and had accidentally deleted the !quote command for the channel while trying to edit a quote. I have the url link for the customap quotelist. is there anyway to readd the !quote command? the !addquote and !delquote are still there I just need the !quote command

Just replace YOURTOKENHERE with your token from your quote list and add this command:

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=YOURTOKENHERE&data=$(querystring))

I try putting it in but it just gives me a link for the command list

Thank you very much!
Is it possible to specify number and total numbers of quotes? For example, I have 10 quotes and the bot return quote #7 from the list, so in chat should be something like this: "[7/10] Another quote blah blah...."

Hi,

I have setted up this quote system quite a while ago and it was working.
When I try now, I get an 500 Server Error.

Were there any changes in usage, is the service just not working at the moment, or is the service retired/deprecated?

Nightbot says: "Remote Server Returned Code 500"

When opening the link in the browser directly: "500 Internal Server Error
The server has either erred or is incapable of performing the requested operation."

Thanks for any hint

I'm also getting the 500 server error. Please let me know if it gets fixed.

!quote list does not work, http://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=39e32853%EF%BB%BF

can you re arange the quotes

I am using this quote system to moderator the songlist for a friend of mine playing guitarhero.

I wonder if there is anyway to remove more than one id with only one command?

At the moment we have a !clear for clearing the whole list and !clearid to clear a specific one.

Sorry for my rusty english.

Also i have another question. It is probably not possible, but is there in any way you can make the text size going to the weblink bigger in size?

It's not possible to delete more than 1 quote at a time without wiping them all, sadly.
As for your second post about the size of the font, you could adjust the "zoom" in your browser, I think at this point every browser has that somewhere.

Hello.
I have been reading up in here but seeing how helpful everyone is I kind of wanted to post to make sure I understand some things correctly.

What I want to do is make a !fact command. I want to personally add all the facts, I'm assuming it would have to be one by one, let me know if there is an easier way to add them.

I only want one command that people can type in chat and they will get a random fact.

Do remove the numbering system would I only have to add &no_id=1 in the end of the link? and only for the command that people will use to generate the fact in chat?

I think I would also like to remove the part where they can see all the facts in a list.
Is that possible?

Also I think I would be ok having the !fact "cookie" thing for example.

I would also like to know how the timer thing would work, if I'd want a random fact to come up in chat every so minutes for later use.

How would this be set up in the timers tab in nightbot? Would I just add the interval I want and the alias: !fact ??

I try to establish a management of multistre.am links with this quote-system. Everything works fine, except of editing a specific entry.

There is a problem in $(querystring) in combination with another API, which is generating the links automatically.

#addmulti = $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=MYTOKEN&data=$(urlfetch https://decapi.me/twitch/multi/$(querystring)))

-> When I type #addmulti stream1 stream2 a new entry is added (https://multistre.am/stream1/stream2/layout4/)

#editmulti = $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote?token=MYTOKEN&data=$(urlfetch https://decapi.me/twitch/multi/$(querystring)))

-> When I type #editmulti 1 stream1 stream2, I get following message: "You must specify entry index and new value."

So I tried to split the $(querystring) with $(eval) command by studying stackexchange, but I haven't got that working! scripting knowledge too bad :(

-> $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote?token=MYTOKEN&data="$eval( var str1 = "$(eval var q = "$(querystring)";q.slice(0,q.indexOf("%20")))"; var str2 = "$(urlfetch https://decapi.me/twitch/multi/"$(eval var q = "$(querystring)";q.slice(q.indexOf("%20") + 1))")"; var res = str.1.concat(str2);)")

Could someone help me out to get that working?
Thanks in advance

Nightbot doesn't support more than 2 levels of variable nesting, so you need to form the multistre<nolink>.am link yourself, rather than using decapi<nolink>.me. Here is code for #editmulti that does this:

text
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote?token=MYTOKEN&data$(eval e=encodeURIComponent;m=decodeURIComponent("$(querystring)").match(/^(\d+) (.+)$/);if(m&&((s=m[2].replace(/@/g,"").split(" ").filter(c=>c.length).map(c=>e(c))),s.length)){"="+e(m[1]+" multistre.am/"+s.join("/"))}else{"="}))

I'm a moderator in a server that uses this quote API, and I've run into a sticky situation.

The server moderators have noticed that Nightbot occasionally deletes some of our commands. Today, the !addquote command got deleted.

Since the quote API was installed automatically, the server moderators don't know what the private key is to fix this command. We still have the !delquote and !quote commands, along with the public key.

Is there any way that this issue could be fixed?

Jolly Ant said:

Nightbot does not automatically delete commands. The broadcaster, a manager for the channel, or a mod is deleting the commands.

Have the broadcaster or a manager go to https://beta.nightbot.tv/commands/custom and select the edit button for the !delquote command. They will see something like this in the Message field: $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/delquote?token=zg4jdt48497bb8bz&data=$(querystring)) (but with a different token).

They should copy this text, close the edit window, then add a new command. Name this new command !addquote, paste the copied text in the Message field, and change del to add. Click Submit.

The issue has been fixed now. Thanks so much for the help!

Works quite well. Thanks a lot 👍

Hey all. I don't know if this is already somewhere in this thread, but I can't seem to find it. I'm using the quote coding to create a queue in my stream, and would like to be able to move a name (or "quote") from one position to another, and can't quite figure out the code to do so. So it would be like !move 1 to 5 ideally moving the quote or user in position 1 to position 5. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm actually using this API to create minigames to entertain viewers when the streamer has moments they can't engage chat. I have been using the editquote function to change values in a list and use it as condition "checks" on whether the game should proceed. Is there a way to remove/not show the resulting statements "Successfully modified entry #X" when Nightbot responds? It ruins the immersion and feels very sloppy. I tried experimenting with slice() but couldn't get it to work properly, so I was wondering if you could give me an example.

I don't think you can stop Nightbot from giving a response whenever you use the customapi, but you can certainly modify its response using $(eval). You can follow this example:

!addcom !examplecommand $(eval blah="$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote?token=yourTokenHere&data=$(query))";"​")

Setting variable "blah" equal to a string containing $(urlfetch) will call that urlfetch and edit the list. After that, the $(eval) will output the next line. Inside the "​" is a zero-width space. Basically this will make Nightbot appear to output a blank message instead of "Successfully modified entry #X"

Ah that works, awesome thanks

I'm having a hard time removing the numbers when i bring it !quote. In nightbot, I add, &no_id=1 and when i use the command, I literally see, "&no_id=1"

Please advise! Thanks again for such a great command

You are probably putting &no_id=1 after the final parenthesis. It needs to go before the final parenthesis. Example:

text
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=ajdf8sdp&data=$(querystring)&no_id=1)

I have tried adding it in my channel as suggested, but when I test it, I always get "Invalid Entry Index" from Nightbot. I'm wondering if it has to do with the way I formatted my quotes, with dates and names, which is different from the default way. Other than that, I have no idea what could be causing it. What I'm adding in is

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote?token=MYTOKEN&data=$(querystring))

and my addquote command is

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=MYTOKEN&data="$(eval var q = "$(query)"; q.slice(q.indexOf(" ") + 1))" - $(touser), $(time US/Eastern "L"))

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You have to type !editquote ENTRYINDEX NEWVALUE
For example: !editquote 1 New value for first quote

Also, you aren't properly encoding the quote in your addquote command. The quote should be encoded so that if you type special characters like & when using your addquote command, they are treated as data and not as special characters. Here is a fixed version:

text
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=MYTOKEN&data=$(eval var q = decodeURIComponent("$(querystring)"); encodeURIComponent("\"" + q.slice(q.indexOf(" ") + 1) + "\" - "))$(querystring $(touser), $(time US/Eastern "L")))

Thank you so much! It all works properly now. Thanks for fixing my addquote as well. I was wondering why special characters broke the quote, but I figured it might be a limitation of the bot. Turns out it was just me not knowing what I was doing. I was wondering if it was possible to keep the format when I do !editquote. What I mean is, I currently have to do this

And I would like to not have to add the whole formatting in every time when I edit a quote, and just edit the part in quotation marks ONLY, not the whole date and everything. It's not that big of a deal if I have to do it manually that way, but I was just curious. Thank you for all of your help!

Scarlet Ram said:

Yes, but it will require you to make a second command named _!editquote and make !editquote an alias to _!editquote

Here are the commands:

text
!editquote (alias to _!editquote)
$(eval e=encodeURIComponent;m=decodeURIComponent("$(querystring)").match(/^(\d+) (.+)/);m?e(`${e(m[1])} ${e(m[2])}`):"0") $(urlfetch $(eval m=decodeURIComponent("$(querystring)").match(/^(\d+) .+/);m?`http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=PUBLICTOKEN&data=${encodeURIComponent(m[1])}&no_id=1`:"0"))
​
_!editquote
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/editquote?token=PRIVATETOKEN&data=$(eval d=decodeURIComponent;if((a=d("$(querystring)").match(/^( ( )+) (.*)/))&&(b=d(a[1]).match(/(\d+) (.+)/))&&(c=a[2].match(/^".*"( (")*)$/)))encodeURIComponent(`${d(b[1])} "${d(b[2])}"${c[1]}`);else"0"))

Thank you so much for all of your help @Ivory Mouse! I appreciate it a ton. I wish I knew all of this a year ago when I started setting up this API. You are very helpful.

But actually i want to run a if statement like this

$(eval decodeURIComponent("$(querystring $(2))").toLowerCase=="ID"?$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=TOKEN&data=$(querystring)).slice() +"You are right":"$(user) Fail!")

If user say ID in second string, hide alert and show you are right, if not, show fail.

Add a random quote function?

If you don't add a number a random quote is shown.

!quote
This will return a random quote

alright i tried learning this on my own but have had no success. the custom api for recent followers will not work for me keeps popping up saying " The most recent followers are No channel"

@Agile Elephant I've noticed that the negative index causes the last added quote to be listed as either "-1", "0" or the listed number (example 259). Additionally, if we call "!quote" and a string/word and a quote is not found, it only pulls the last quote. Is it possible to either respond with a random quote or "no quote found"?

Example: "!quote curse" is used, however, no quote is found using the word "curse" so it pulls the last quote added.

Is there any way nightbot does not need to send me an answer?

@Dawn Dove You can use $(eval) to make Nightbot send a request to the API but also not output its response like so:

$(eval a='$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=yourPrivateTokenHere&data=dataInput)';' ')

Creating the variable a will call the $(urlfetch) variable within the $(eval), using the API. Then it'll make Nightbot output a space, which will then make the message blank.

I am using the quote system for my game requests so people do !gamerequest (name of game) and it adds it to the list. My issue is the ! command is not seen to my viewers so i was wondering if there was a way for it to respond with what they added.
Nightbot currently says this: Successfully added entry #4
However it would be cool if it said this: Successfully added entry #4 - Zelda

or whatever. or even a line after that simply said the game name. any thoughts or Ideas.. thank you all

@Groovy Giraffe The response for the command can be:

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=...) - $(query)

Nightbot would say "Successfully added entry #X" then say what was added in the $(query) after that.

@Agile Elephant, do you know if the !delquote and !editquote commands are not working at the moment? I just found this thread and added to my channel but those 2 commands are not functioning right.

I have added 4 quotes just fine and they show when I !quote 1 or 3 but when I do !delquote 3 or 1, it says "no matching entry found"

Are you able to help?

I don't know if this is still being responded to but how do you make nightbot say "quote #3" instead of just "3."? Also when I try to say !quote #3 instead of !quote 3 it doesn't recognize that either. It seems to not recognize the # at all. I'm not great with programming so any help would be appreciated

@Jolly Swan In your command response just do something like:

Quote #$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/...)

Thank you for a quick response! I'm a little confused though, there the "..." is, would that be where I put the # for it to show #3 instead of just 3.?

Jolly Swan said:

You can use Nightbot's eval variable to strip the # character from the query.

Quote #$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=YOURPUBLICTOKEN&data$(eval "="+encodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent("$(querystring)").replace(/#/g,""))))

Replace YOURPUBLICTOKEN with the token in your existing !quote command, which you can find here: https://beta.nightbot.tv/commands/custom

@Jolly Swan No. The ... part is just for the rest of the quote custom API link. What this does:

Quote #$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/...)

It will automatically put a "Quote #" in front of the quote when you use the !quote command.

Oh! ok, thanks so much, my streamer will thank you greatly :D

There is an issue related to your property to connect with opera support that solves all the problem and give you clear access to all the things that you need.

Hi thanks for making this. I am moderating a few Twitch Channels and I have added your quote API to add all the clip commands created for a specific channel to pull a random clip so viewers can have fun without needing to remember all the commands. The commands are listed correctly on the Token and Nighbot pulls the randomclip command correctly so it comes back for example a quote like !rage1 . The issue is I want that quote to actually execute the command into Nighbot now it just pulls it as text without executing the command a user needs to input into the chat the actual !rage1 command to work. This is what I use in the Nightbot command. Can you recommend what needs to be changed to make this work or is it not possible?

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=80550788&data=$(querystring)&no_id=1)

hey, is there a way to export the quotelist to google spreadshet?

i Have a List running and i would like to know if there is way to make a command like !Upnext===1 on the list .. So Nightbot will post in chat something like Upnext is #1 Name ,,is that possible

@Honest Squid Do you mean you want Nightbot to always output the 1st entry? Or output the 1st entry the 1st time the command is used, the 2nd entry the 2nd time, 3rd the 3rd time, etc?

I want it to always be the first the fist Entry .. u see i have a Listing system .. we play squads .. So we Pick 3 People from the list at a time .. If i could get Nightbot to Reply with the first 1,2,3 Entries in chat .. That would be awesome .. If not i would like nightbot to reply with only #1 entry always

@Honest Squid This is the command response you want then. Replace PUBLIC_TOKEN with your public token (8 characters):

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=PUBLIC_TOKEN&data=1&no_id=1), $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=PUBLIC_TOKEN&data=2&no_id=1), $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=PUBLIC_TOKEN&data=3&no_id=1)

Thank u very Much , Hope u A bless day

It Working But it is reading Out the Entire List ... Is it possible for it just to read 1-3 Entries ??

@Honest Squid My bad, try this:

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=publicTokenHere&data=1&no_id=1), $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=publicTokenHere&data=2&no_id=1), $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=publicTokenHere&data=3&no_id=1)

After popular demand, I've added a way to recover your public key using your private key:
https://twitch.center/customapi/quote/recover?token=PRIVATE_KEY_HERE

This is for occasions where you accidentally delete your !quote command, but still have access to either !addquote or !delquote, from which you can extract your private key. As always, makes sure to keep your private key secret.

This is mostly for mods and other people around this forum helping fellow nightbot users. I've gotten quite a lot of requests for manually recovering lost public keys. If someone is trying to recover their quotes, you can quickly point them to this instead.

Cheers.

Iam helping a Streamer with this Quote command, but the !quote List has'nt been added through the Automated install for some reason, can you add it manualy, if so how?

@Humble Koala

I assume you've already got the public and private tokens. If not go here https://twitch.center/customapi/quote/generate Copy down the public token (8 characters long) and private token (16 characters long) and keep them somewhere safe. There are 4 quotes set up below:

!quote which returns a random quote
!addquote which adds a quote to the list (mod-only)
!delquote which removes a quote from the list (mod-only)
!quotelist which gives a link to the quote list

Copy and paste these commands into the chat to create these commands. Feel free to rename the commands however you wish. Be sure to replace publicTokenHere with your public token and privateTokenHere with your private token:

!addcom -cd=5 !quote $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=publicTokenHere&data=$(querystring))
!addcom -ul=mod !addquote $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=privateTokenHere&data=$(querystring))
!addcom -ul=mod !delquote $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/delquote?token=privateTokenHere&data=$(querystring))
!addcom -cd=5 !quotelist $(channel)'s quote list: http://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=publicTokenHere

Yes, or i hope at least, the other quote commands work, just not the list,

I test your sugestion, will return i a moment when i have tried it out, thanks for reaching out to Me @Sassy Ram

I am trying to help a streamer I moderate for use this amazing quote API as a song request queue, but not in a normal fashion. The main issue I am running into is being able to display the list in a "prettier" package than what the link provides. Is there anyway to do one of the following:

1. Have the commands build the list in a Google Doc or Sheet (or export the list to one)
2. Have the list be able to be called from the streamers personal website (hosted by Squarespace) in order for it to be formatted there. (I'm not very code savvy; but another moderator is trying to setup a webpage for the streamer on the streamer's website that will call the list so it can be formatted but he receives the error: "Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=PUBLICTOKENHERE' from origin 'http://localhost' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource." and we are unable to get passed that issue).
3. Customize the way the list page looks when opened by viewers who click on the link provided by !quote list.

Any and all help is appreciated.

I deleted my !addquote and !delquote commands. I have my public token. How do I retrieve my private token? I want to keep adding to my list without starting all over with a new quote list. However, if this is what I have to do, will the other list delete after a while? How long? Thank you.

Is there a way to edit the way the quote is structured?

I'd love to have it where you can write !addquote (user) (message)
so that it responds on the !quote command with #x ("message in quotations") - (user) instead of x. (message)?

It just looks nicer to me and I didn't want to get a second bot for the same function just so it looks the way I wanted it to.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

@Silver Lobster

Change your responses for !addquote and !quote as follows:

For !addquote: $(urlfetch http://twitch.center...&data=$(querystring) - $(user))
For !quote: #$(urlfetch http://twitch.center...)

It doesn't quite work right for my purposes, as it puts the user who added the command after the - essentially attributing the quote to them. What I'd hoped for was so that the first word after the !addquote command would be treated as the user who said it.

For example !addquote FunnyUser This is funny turning into #1 "This is funny" - FunnyUser. Instead, I get #1. FunnyUser This is funny - NomNomFighter.

Since only Mods can add quotes on my channel, a lot of quotes would be attributed to the wrong Users. Is there a way to change that?

@Silver Lobster

If the usage for !addquote is:

!addquote [person who said quote] [quote]

Then adjust the response for !addquote like so:

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center...&data=$(eval a=decodeURIComponent(`$(querystring)`).split(` `);b=a.shift();a.join(` `)+` `+b))

@Sassy Ram Okay, that works! Is there a way to always put the message into quotes and setting a - infront of the username? Then it would be perfect!

Thank you so much already!

@Silver Lobster

This should do the trick. Change !addquote to:

$(urlfetch http://twitch.center...&data=$(eval a=decodeURIComponent(`$(querystring)`).split(` `);b=a.shift();`"`+a.join(` `).replace(/"/g,``)+`" - `+b))

@Sassy Ram THANK YOU SO MUCH! This is exactly what I wanted!

Hi guys, I'm a moderator for a few channels and I wanted to utilize the quote system but as a clip system. With that said, when i add the clip it says something went wrong, we couldnt find the clip. Am i doing something wrong? the commands work, I can add, del and call. However it shows that message.

Hey I am currently adding this to a channel I mod, I was wondering are you able to see the full list of quotes?

@Scruffy Rabbit

This is the link you can use to view the list in your browser:

http://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=PUBLIC_TOKEN

Replace PUBLIC_TOKEN with your public token (8 characters long)

Otherwise you can view the list in a command response with this:

$(eval `$(urlfetch json http://twitch.center/customapi/quote/list?token=PUBLIC_TOKEN)`.slice(0,400))

Thank you kind person @Sassy Ram

Hi I am having the following issue:
Dirty1ou: !quote
Nightbot: Remote Server Returned Code 503

I have added approx. 15 or so quotes and wanted to test it out and am now getting this message 503. The 503 is being given for !quote and !quote list !delquote !addquote

Having the same issue this morning as well. Perhaps just an error with the server?

It is indeed on my end, looking into it.

Hey,

after being able to make the command output result to my liking I found out the delete command does not actually clear them neither does the version with clear=1, the channel name is bloodyhs

@Able Dolphin

Are you sure you set up the command response for your delete command correctly? It should look like this:

$(urlfetch https://twitch.center/customapi/delquote?token=PRIVATE_TOKEN&clear=1)

PRIVATE_TOKEN is replaced with your private token, which should be some jumble of letters and numbers that is 16 characters long.

Anyone else getting an error 500 when trying to add a new quote?

double checked, yes, it may however be a different token on addquote and delquote/purge, could that be an issue?

You can use this tool developed by ehsankia to check what public token is paired with your private token:

https://twitch.center/customapi/quote/recover?token=PRIVATE_TOKEN

Replace PRIVATE_TOKEN with your private token (16 characters long).

Thanks for the check tool, I was indeed adding with a different token than trying to delete, remade all 3 commands and it all works good now :)

what i need to do for personal quotes for each user in my channel? (generate a personal token when its used for first time), its possible?, and how?

@Mauve Cow

No need to generate new tokens. If you want to add someone's name to a quote, just do something like this:

!addquote [some quote] - [name of whoever said the quote]

Hi, I've been asked to create a command in a channel which uses this quote API.

The command in question inserts a random quote from that channel's quote list in the middle of a name provided, as though it were using the quote as a nickname. For example, if a user types:
!aka John Smith
Nightbot would return:
John "[quote]" Smith

I've tried to test a version of this in my own channel, but did so using the token of the channel I'm creating it for, which I assume is the reason it has not worked; on first use, it returned, "[other channel] is not defined" and on every subsequent use it returned, "Right-hand side of 'instanceof' is not an object".

The command is as follows, split for greater legibility:

$(eval
a=decodeURIComponent($(querystring)).split( );
b=a[0]?a.length:0;
c=$(urlfetch https://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=********&no_id=1 );
d=(a[0] + ' "' + c+ '" ');
while(i=1;i<=(b-1);i++;){
d+=a[i];
}
${d};
)

Is this a valid command, or is there a way I could implement this in this streamer's channel?

@Nimble Badger

!addcom -cd=5 !aka $(eval a=decodeURIComponent(`$(querystring)`).split(` `);if(a.length>1){a.splice(1,0,`$(urlfetch https://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=********&no_id=1)`);a.join(` `);}else{`Enter at least a first and last name!`;})
