Good rust bot examples?

I recently made a community for bird identification (check us out here ).

I would like to make a bot that would take in a bird name like this [[American Robin]] and comment back with links to more information. I can do the links for birds easily but the bot side I don't know. Does anyone have any examples of Lemmy bots written in rust that do something similar? Or at least a source on where to start?

The final code would be open source if that matters to people. Thank you in advance.

  • Here's the Lemmy HTTP API documentation.

    In Rust, you can use a HTTP client like reqwest and the lemmy_api_common crate (along with the lemmy_api and lemmy_api_crud crates in the README) which provides the data types needed to send/receive data when making HTTP requests.
