Robert Hönig fefe869748 Restructure contrib_bots bots to new layout. 
In order to make the layout of all bots consistent, this commit
moves each bot into a folder with its name and modifies 'run.py'
so that only bots with such a structure can be executed. 'lib'
gets renamed to 'bots'.

FourSquare Bot

  • This is a bot that returns a list of restaurants from a user input of location, proximity and restaurant type in that exact order. The number of returned restaurants are capped at 3 per request.

  • The list of restaurants are brought to Zulip using an API. The bot sends a GET request to https://api.foursquare.com/v2/. If the user does not correctly input a location, proximity and a restaurant type, the bot will return an error message.

  • For example, if the user says "@foursquare 'Chicago, IL' 80000 seafood", the bot will return:

Food nearby 'Chicago, IL' coming right up:

Dee's Seafood Co.
2723 S Poplar Ave, Chicago, IL 60608, United States
Fish Markets

Seafood Harbor
2131 S Archer Ave (at Wentworth Ave), Chicago, IL 60616, United States
Seafood Restaurants

Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab
60 E Grand Ave (at N Rush St), Chicago, IL 60611, United States
Seafood Restaurants

  • If the user enters a wrong word, like "@foursquare 80000 donuts" or "@foursquare", then an error message saying invalid input will be displayed.
