A Telegram bot to check and notify you about game updates.

This bot is a way for people using incognito/blanking to know when one of their games got a new update. It uses nx-versions maintained by 16BitWonder as a source for update information and Rebirth's titledb.

It was created mainly for personal use and out of necessity. If you have any games you want to watch for new updates, all you need to do is add their Game ID to the bot and it'll notify you next time these games are updated by their developers.

This bot is available and ready to be used at: https://t.me/switch_updates_bot.

User guide

See here for setup guide.

Bugs and caveats:

User can only add or remove games by using Title ID (both Base ID or UpdateID will work).
Maximum 50 games in the watch list per user.

Changelog

Version 0.0.6 2020/08/23

Added ability to mute the bot (inside /settings).
Added ability to get notifications for every single game in the switch library (inside /settings).
Some bug fixes.

Version 0.0.5 2020/08/15

To the users that watched games before 11 AUGUST: please, make sure to rewatch your games, during database migration I actually fried my SD card and lost the old user database, won't happen again as I now have a proper backup solution in place.
New database system is in place: users can now add up to 50 games in their watch list.
New command /s: it's used to search the database using game names, it's useful if you want to know a Game ID for certain games. Example: /s mario will return information for any game that has the "mario" word in the name, alongside game id, latest versions and update id. Like this.
/l command returns a lot more information to the user, including name, game id, update id and latest version number. Like this.
Use titledb from Rebirth.

Internal Version 0.0.3 2020/08/06

TitleDB is finally implemented, when being notified you should see the game's name (in case it's on titledb ofc). This is how you should see it. Titledb is very information rich, so I'm studying implementing a search function so people can search for a Game's ID in case they don't know it.
Anywhere in the bot you see a Base ID, Update ID or Version Number, you should be able to quick copy the code just by clicking over it.
STABILITY improvements.
Code should be ready for public release soon.
