eggdrop connect with chatgpt

[Baslerstab]

hi

I'm trying to connect the eggdrop with api requests to chat-gpt or other services where possible and give answers when someone types !ask <blabla>. The answer should come back as a private message because the answers would be too large for public channels.
i've got keys. anyone would help me?

sorry for my bad english, i'm swissgerman.

thx
Nicci

Hi Nicci,

No need to apologize for your English – it's perfectly fine! Connecting Eggdrop with ChatGPT through API requests sounds like an interesting project. To assist you, I'll need a bit more information:

ChatGPT API:

Do you have access to the ChatGPT API, and have you obtained the necessary API key?

Programming Language:
In which programming language are you planning to implement the connection? Common choices include Python, JavaScript, or TCL (since Eggdrop is TCL-scriptable).

Example Code:
If you've already written some code, could you share the snippet you're working on? This will help me understand your approach better.

Once you provide more details, I'll be happy to guide you further or help with any specific challenges you might be facing.

Best regards

I played with this a bit using Eggdrop + Tcl. The simplest way is to trigger on !ask, grab the text, then call the API using exec curl or http::geturl from Tcl. When the response comes back, just parse the JSON and send it with putserv "PRIVMSG $nick :$reply" so it stays private. Keep answers short or split them, since long messages can get cut.

Also watch rate limits and errors, or your bot will feel “dead” sometimes. Log failures so you know what’s happening behind the scenes.

In the world of IRC bots, keeping things simple is usually best. Once it works reliably, you can always expand features later.
