I wanted to create a bot that would automatically send me The Morning Newsletter from The New York Times to my Discord Server.

Scrapes using requests_html and deployed using GitHub Actions.

This code works with Restful APIs as well, just comment out the discord specific function.

This code is not going to work unless you define a couple environment variables. This can be done a couple of ways:

• Control Panel > Advanced System Settings > Advanced > Environment Variables
• Create a .env file in the folder and define the required environment variables there

If you are using discord embeds you will need to define a WEBHOOKS variable as such: WEBHOOKS=exampleapi.discord.com,exampleapi.discord.com

I have a function set up and its implementation is for my Amazon Alexa. You only need to change the url as the function just uses a post request.
