Here is a superscript chat bot intergrated into a gitter room.

What you'll need to get started is a Github account for you and your bot. Sign into Gitter as your bot and create a Personal Access Token.

With this you can access the Gitter API. You'll need to create a room in Gitter, and add your bot to it.

To set up a config file to run the app you'll need the roomId you want your bot to be active in.

You can hit the Gitter API with the line below replacing {{token}} with your Personal Access Token

Get the roomId

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer {{token}}" "https://api.gitter.im/v1/rooms"

Get the botId

curl -i -H "Accept: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer {{token}}" "https://api.gitter.im/v1/user"

Have a mongodb running. Then start the bot service with

npm start

Get chatting
