Slack-gamebot implements a Hypermedia API. Navigate to the application root to browse through available objects and methods. Artsy's Gamebot is here, you can see dblock's current elo.

We recommend HyperClient to query the API programmatically in Ruby.

This bot is built with slack-ruby-bot. See CONTRIBUTING.
