Difference between TF2Autobot and tf2-automatic

TF2Autobot adds advantageous features on top of the original features in the tf2-automatic repository. Let me list some notable features in the original tf2-automatic and some that have been added in TF2Autobot:

Original tf2-automatic

Free auto pricing (using prices from prices.tf) and unlimited listings (only limited by your backpack.tf listings cap).
Automatically craft/smelt pure metal (to maintain supply in all metal types).
Dupe check on items that are more than a certain amount of keys (you decide/set the number of keys).
Trade offer review (if you were offered an invalid value/item, the item is overstocked, or the item is duped).

Added features

Discord Webhook feature

Instead of your bot sending trade summaries, trade offer reviews, and messages to you via Steam Chat, your bot is able to send it to different channels in your Discord server! If you want to interact with the trade offer reviews and messages sent by your Discord Webhook, you must setup Discord Interface. Read here.

Screenshots:

Trade summary (or live-trades) -

Offer review (when trade partner sent wrong value/overstocked/etc) -

Messages (when the trade partner uses "!message" command -

Price update (Discord Only) - Show the price changes for each item on your pricelist -

You can also set it to send only the trade summary via Discord and have others (like Offer review and Messages) still sent to you via Steam Chat.

Note: it's also an option to show key rate/pure stock/quick links on each Webhook message.

If you want to use this feature, you must use the ecosystem.template.json from this version. It contains many more variables for you to fill in.

Autokeys (auto-buy or sell keys) feature

When this feature is enabled, your bot will automatically buy or sell keys depending on the amount of pure your bot currently has. You'll need to set your minimum/maximum keys and minimum/maximum refined metals in your options.json file. Additional explanation can be found here.

Some screenshots:

When your bot has enough keys to sell (when your ref < minimum) OR enough ref to buy more keys (when your ref > maximum and keys < max):

When your bot doesn't have enough keys to sell, Autokeys will not be active:

INVALID_VALUE exception

If you're having your bot trade Unusuals or Australiums (which the value, as we know, is more than 5 keys), and someone sends a trade offer with 0.11 ref underpay, your bot will skip this offer and send you a notification to review this offer. With this exception, your bot will accept the trade as long as the underpay is less than the exceptional value that you've set. To use this feature, you'll need to set the exception value on both INVALID_VALUE_EXCEPTION_SKUS and INVALID_VALUE_EXCEPTION_VALUE_IN_REF. See here.
