[ANY] CleverBot API Wrapper

About:
Essentially I made this to learn about how I'd implement callbacks into my own natives, as a result we receive a simple wrapper with one native for using an online CleverBot. This was created in part to eliminate the disgusting Kv/CFG based chat bots, but will be expanded in the future. I intend for this project to start small

This plugin supplies an API for SourceMod plugin development and doesn't inherently do anything on it's own.

Usage:
Read the readme on GitHub here.

Dependencies:
SteamWorks: Download here.

Lol was this made because of my thread about my work with that old ass SourceBot plugin and trying to compress code, where someone suggested using Cleverbot?

Me likey.

EDIT: "free for < 5k queries per month"

Nevermind, I'll just continue my work with the SourceBot plugin where there are no such limitations

If you want more, their prices are fairly cheap.

That's pretty cool. What happens if you go over the api limit?

They'll message you asking to change your service plan, or you can just keep it free and wait.

Edit: To be honest, 5k queries a month is pretty fair.

Like will the request fail and send a message saying that you've hit the limit or something?

Yeah. I haven't yet created an error detection (next update), but copied from their website they will spit out these status codes. I just have to figure out an error handling system

401: unauthorised due to missing or invalid API key
404: API not found
413: request too large if you send a request over 8Kb
502 or 504: unable to get reply from API server, please contact us
503: too many requests from a single IP address or API key

I presume it'd send you a 503.
Right know it'll just print the error code in error logs and not call the fwd


EDIT: Just added better error handling to Git

Version 1.2
Implemented status codes in callback
Created CleverBot_GetErrorLogString so devs can do their own error handling

Nice! I request that a time ago. I love cleverbot because have multilanguage support (atleast here). I will do a plugin using this API. Thanks

I know it does Spanish and some French, I'm not too sure about other languages.
