PokemonGo-Bot is a project created by the PokemonGoF team.
The project is currently setup in two main branches:
dev
also known as beta
- This is where the latest features are, but you may also experience some issues with stability/crashes.master
also known as stable
- The bot 'should' be stable on this branch, and is generally well tested.If you need any help please don't create an issue as we have a great community on Slack. You can count on the community in #help channel.
If you discover a bug in the bot, please search our issue tracker first. If it hasn't been reported, please create a new issue and ensure you follow the template guide so that our team can assist you as quickly as possible.
If you have a great idea to improve the bot, please search our feature tracker first to ensure someone else hasn't already come up with the same great idea. If it hasn't been requested, please create a new request and ensure you follow the template guide so that it doesnt get lost with the bug reports. While you're there vote on other feature requests to let the devs know what is most important to you.
If you'd like to make your own changes, make sure you follow the pull request template, and ensure your PR is made against the 'dev' branch
PokemonGo-Bot takes a strong stance against automating gym battles. Botting gyms will have a negative effect on most players and thus the game as a whole. We will thus never accept contributions or changes containing code specific for gym battles.
PokemonGo-Bot is very popular and has a vibrant community. Because of that, it has become very difficult for us to know how the bot is used and what errors people hit. By capturing small amounts of data, we can prioritize our work better such as fixing errors that happen to a large percentage of our user base, not just a vocal minority.
Our goal is to help inform our decisions by capturing data that helps us get aggregate usage and error reports, not personal information. To view the code that handles analytics in our master branch, you can use this search link.
If there are any concerns with this policy or you believe we are tracking something we shouldn't, please open a ticket in the tracker. The contributors always intend to do the right thing for our users, and we want to make sure we are held to that path.
If you do not want any data to be gathered, you can turn off this feature by setting health_record
to false
in your config.json
