On this day... webhook

This program scrapes the current date's On this day... information from Wikipedia and pushes it to a webhook of your choice.

Right now, it only supports Discord webhooks.

Usage

$ npm install -g on-this-day-webhook
$ on-this-day-webhook discord https://discordapp.com/api/webhooks/...

Setting it up to run daily

Step 1: Create your Webhook

Open your server's Webhook settings

Click Create Webhook and configure it according to your wishes

If you need an image for the avatar, here's a pre-fitted and resized image you can use.

Copy the Webhook URL when you're done.

Step 2: Run it daily

I personally use a crontab to run it at 16:00 every day. Here's how it looks:
