Steam Forum Mentions Notifier

This is a cron that uses dreww's Steam Forum Scanner to regularly pull updates from Steam forums and surfaces them in Discord.

This script takes a Steam ID, Game Name, and array of discord webhook url destinations. It scans the main Steam community discussion page, and looks for new threads and threads with new comments, and then constructs a webhook with a configurable amount threads per hook, sending it to all configured destinations.

Right now, the script only looks at the main forum within the Steam community, so if you have multiple forums you'd probably need to extend it.

2. Modify gameName and steamId in main.tsx:

import scanSteamForums from "https://esm.town/v/dreww/steamforumscanner";

export default async function(interval: Interval) {
  const dota2Threads = await scanSteamForums({
    gameName: "Dota 2",
    embedColor: 9043685, // optional decimal color to change the embed highlight
    steamId: "570",
    discordWebhook: Deno.env.get("DISCHOOK_URL_1"), 
  });
}
