Habitica Quest Auto-Accept Script

This Python script automates the process of accepting quests on Habitica. It checks whether there is a quest to accept in your party, and it will automatically accept a new quest.

Prerequisites

Before using this script, make sure you have the following:

• Python 3 installed on your system.
• Your Habitica API credentials, which include:
  • x-api-user: Your Habitica user ID.
  • x-api-key: Your Habitica API key.

Installation and Setup

1. Clone or download this repository to your local machine.

2. Open the script file autoAcceptQuest.py in a text editor of your choice.

3. Replace the following placeholders with your Habitica API credentials:

   • xapiuser: Your x-api-user value.
   • xapikey: Your x-api-key value.

   xapiuser = "YOUR_API_USER_ID"
   xapikey = "YOUR_API_KEY"

4. Save the changes to the script file.

Usage

You can run this script manually or set it up as a cron job to repeat automatically at your desired interval (e.g., every hour).

Manual Execution

To run the script manually, open your terminal and navigate to the directory containing the auto_accept_quest.py script. Then, execute the following command:

python3 autoAcceptQuest.py

The script will check for a pending active quest in your Habitica party and it will automatically if there is a pending active quest.

Setting up a Cron Job (Automatic Execution)

To set up a cron job to run the script automatically every hour, follow these steps:

1. Open your terminal.

2. Edit your crontab file by running the following command:

   crontab -e

3. Add the following line to your crontab file to run the script every hour:

   0 * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/auto_accept_quest.py

   Replace /path/to/auto_accept_quest.py with the actual path to your auto_accept_quest.py script.

4. Save the crontab file and exit the text editor.

The script will now run automatically every hour as a cron job, checking for and accepting quests in your Habitica party when needed.
