# Bot Basics

### How we built it

We built the bot so that it would be easy for users to use. Some fundamental principles of the syntax are

* [x] A colon (this thing -> `":"`) is always used to separate the metric from the ticker
* [x] Typing  `"chart"` at the end of a command will give you a vivid chart displaying the data instead of a data table
* [x] Typing  `"excel"` at the end of a command will give you an excel file with the data requested
* [x] Typing `"growth"` at the end of a command for historical data shows the year over year year growth for that metric&#x20;
* [x] All functions can be called with slash commands
* [x] **ALL SYNTAX IS CASE INSENSITIVE**&#x20;
* [x] **ALL SYNTAX IS SPACE INSENSITIVE**&#x20;
