Is it possible to fetch text from player created channels in game (recruitment, buyback, logistics, Intel ) ?

The closest thing I can find to this is ....
https://eveonline-third-party-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/xmlapi/character/char_chatchannels.html


Reason for having this API fetch.

Organizing Corporations Communication with 50+ members will be new player friendly.

Organizing corp player channels under automation via bot to discord -for when the player needing help is needing
someone who is offline.

Examples:

A player joins a recruitment channel and says hi.
- bot fetches API call and notifies the right people to speed up recruitment.

A player asks a question in shipping channel.
-bot pings correct people for info.

A player asks in buyback for help.
-bot finds buyback members and pings them.

A player/ alliance leader has 12 toons in different corps and wants to keep in touch on one platform (discord).

A player is playing eve and wants Intel spoken aloud - discord.

A player is afk and still wants to watch Intel via bot to discord.

Alliance in game channel sent to discord.

Sov owning alliances have ability to communicate with out Skype or Skype group chats while still using the in game channels.

Anyone have Ideas on this?

Those are likely two reasons why they wouldn't have it in yet. But I don't really see much harm in it although you might have better luck bringing it up in the Technology Lab.
