This bot allows you to set up a Discord channel to get the latest Galnet News feeds.

You'll want to check out the GitHub for the latest information on the Discord bot.

And I couldn't really check it in the settings, but it uses the official API provided by Frontier Developments at https://cms.elitedangerous.com/api/galnet
