FAQ: All about ACSBot

ACSBot is a scraper and a poster. It scrapes the episode pages at AdamCarolla.com for the extra content discussed on the Adam Carolla Podcast and posts them to r/AdamCarolla

It is written in Ruby using a few handy libraries to handle Reddit Posts, Imgur Uploading, Markdown Formatting and of course web scraping.

• Scan RSS feed for new podcast
• Scrape website text, videos and images for each new podcast
• uploads images to Imgur gallery
• Uploads video links and text to stickied Reddit self post

It runs on weekdays from a simple applescript triggered by automator.

It is my first Ruby program ever written and therefore is likely a total hack job. But it works and it was a lot of fun to write.
