You should be able to say something like
botbot bacon Chevy Chase
to find an actor's Bacon #.
I think there are web services that provide this info?
Taking. A couple things I still want to fix, but you can play with it on #quixote.

I've contacted the oracle people to ask them if there's a text interface. That
would be way better than parsing the HTML.

No officially available API for this, but apparently this may be easier to parse:

Here is a new patch, which lists the Bacon value, but the page formatting has changed radically enough that the other regular expressions are more difficult.
Do we want the films listed, or do we just want a link to the results page. (I would vote for the latter, which is simpler.)

Comment on attachment 405723 [details]
Patch v 1.1
Hrm, we have a fair number of modules which are little more than gateways to web services already, so just linking is not encouraging.
I'd say the bot should list the films. Makes it more worthwhile.

Mozbot/Firebot is in maintenance-only mode; no further changes are planned.
