How can I add Spectra to my server?

First and foremost, Spectra is private. This means that you cannot add it to your server as you can with other bots. Additionally, Spectra does not support self-hosting, so you cannot run a copy yourself. This is for my own protection, as in the past people have tried to host their own "public versions" of Spectra without my permission. If you believe that Spectra is the only bot that would fulfill your server's needs, you may join the server listed above and contact jagrosh#4824. Spectra is designed to be the core moderation and utility bot for a server, and thus is primarily used by servers with large numbers of members (usually a couple thousand) and without many, if any, other bots.

About this repository

The code here is strictly an example (Currently, it is the legacy code). Running this code on your own is not supported; I will not be providing the resources necessary to self-host.

Add a search option for games using IGDB

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Add a games search option to Spectra and use IGDB since their API is free with no restrictions on data licensing compared to mobygames and the like. There are multiple ways to consume the api and there is already a reference bot that does so.

Describe the solution you'd like

s?igdb <search term> or s?games <search term> brings up a card with info on the search term.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Some bots offer a Steam search option, but it doesn't include console games or games only available by physical copy or through GOG/EGS/Itch/etc.

Currently the bot hosted in their server is only available there. I don't trust myself to self host the reference bot in a secure way.
