# Mention bot
|
|
|
|
The Mention bot is a Zulip bot that can fetch Mentions associated with
|
|
a given keyword from the web using [Mention](https://mention.com/en/).
|
|
|
|
To use the Mention bot, you can simply call it with `@<botname>` followed
|
|
by a keyword, like so:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
@Mention Apple
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
Before you can proceed further, you'll need to go to the
|
|
[Mention Dev](https://dev.mention.com/login), and get a
|
|
Mention API Access Token.
|
|
|
|
1. Login.
|
|
2. Enter the **App Name**, **Description**, **Website**, and **Redirect uris**. In this version, there
|
|
is no actual use of the Redirect Uri and Website.
|
|
3. After accepting the agreement, click on **Create New App**.
|
|
4. And you're done! You should now have an Access Token.
|
|
5. Open up `zulip_bots/bots/mention/mention.conf` in an editor and
|
|
change the value of the `<access_token>` attribute to the Access Token
|
|
you generated above.
|
|
|
|
