adding throttle in m00nie's youtube tcl

[m4s]

Hi, m00nie!

Thanks a lot, it works fine!
It's a great script!

(I added the ytsearch flag to switch on/off the searching function only: .chanset #channel +ytsearch)

Cheers

Hi m4s

Thanks for the good idea. I've added that to the script and posted an update, cheers for the suggestion.

@AlbozZz sorry I'm not familiar with that help site but it looks like it's missed the TCL packages like TLS etc? If you run the script on your bit and it fails please post the output from that and people should be able to help

Cheers

Hi again,

Do you have time to have a look at your news eggdrop script?
I have problems with it...:\

[m00nie]

Sure (not wanting to take this off topic and upset the mods but) I'll have a look over the next short while and see if I can sort it too

The latest YouTube script can be downloaded from here:

https://www.m00nie.com/youtube-eggdrop- ... ng-api-v3/

[m00nie]

v2.1 adds per search/link throttling, a parsing fix and more 'modern' way of doing TLS (before that breaks)

Hi m00nie!

What is link throttling?

Thanks!

p.s.: script version is 2.2.

[caesar]

Throttling is limiting the usage if the number of requests are above a certain amount in a small window time frame, basically prevent others from flooding your bot with commands to fetch results.

Why don't you store variables inside an array, I mean instead of:

Code: Select all

    variable user_throt 30
    variable chan_throt 10
    variable link_throt 300

have:

Code: Select all

    set yt(user_throt) 30
    set yt(chan_throt) 10
    set yt(link_throt) 300

and first line under the proc line, let's say this one:

Code: Select all

proc autoinfo {nick uhost hand chan text} {

just add a:

Code: Select all

variable yt

for example and where needed just use $yt(user_throt) for example instead of that $m00nie::youtube::regex for example.

Throttling is limiting the usage if the number of requests are above a certain amount in a small window time frame, basically prevent others from flooding your bot with commands to fetch results.

But where are the number of requests defined?
The variable user_throt 30 means the user has 30 seconds to send yt links to the channel. Right? But how many requests means the flood?

Thanks!

Hi Caesar

Thanks for the suggestion I'll have a look into it and see if that would help (just a different way than I've done it before so something to learn/try for me)

m4s the default is one request per user ever 30s, one per channel every 10s and the same search term or link spammed in 5 mins and it jumped to 2.2 very quickly when the logic for checking was a bit....crap in the real world but hopefully better now
