sopel-url

This plugin allows the bot to fetch URLs from messages and to reply with each URL's title from the HTML content, if possible. You can trigger that with the .title <url> command:

[08:42] Exirel: .title https://sopel.chat
[08:42] Sopel: xrl: Sopel - The Python IRC Bot - Sopel | sopel.chat

And if enable_auto_title is enabled, the plugin will react to URLs as if the .title command was used:

[08:42] Exirel: Read the doc at https://sopel.chat/docs
[08:42] Sopel: [url] Sopel 8.0.4 documentation | sopel.chat

Install

The recommended way to install this plugin is to use pip:

$ python -m pip install sopel-url

Note that this plugin requires Python 3.8+ and Sopel 8.0+. It won't work on Python versions that are not supported by the version of Sopel you are using.

Configuration

This plugin defines the [url] section of the configuration file, with the following directives:

• enable_auto_title (yes/no): Enable (yes, the default) or disable (no) auto-title.
• exclude (list): A list of regular expressions for URLs for which the title should not be shown. For example https?://git\.io/.*
• exclusion_char (default !): A character (or string) which, when immediately preceding a URL, will stop the URL's title from being shown.
• shorten_url_length (int, default 0): If greater than 0, the title fetcher will include a TinyURL version of links longer than this many characters.
• enable_private_resolution (yes/no): Enable (yes) or disable (no, the default) requests to private and local network IP addresses.
