well, here is my code: ```ts
import * as drpc from "discord-rpc";
const client = new drpc.Client({ transport: "ipc" });
export async function rpc(details, date) {
drpc.register("redacted");
client.on("ready", async () => {
await client.setActivity({
buttons: [{
label: "Download 📥",
url: "https://github.com/redacted/releases/latest"
},
{
label: "Source code ⌨",
url: "https://github.com/redacted/"
}],
details: details,
state: Powered by Electron v${process.versions.electron}, NodeJS v${process.versions.node}, Chromium v${process.versions.chrome} & v8 v${process.versions.v8}.,
startTimestamp: date,

largeImageText: "redacted",
});
});

client.login({ clientId: "redacted" }).catch((e) => {
    console.log(e);
});

}

export async function createRPC(details, date) {
await client.setActivity({

Hey
i need help because i wanted to create a kind of "self-bot", i want to host it 24/7 on a vps with an rpc of a cute message does anyone know any project in that line?

turbid socket

RPC doesn't orientate self-bots, it's just a system that uses local IPC/*nix pipes to send client data to your running Discord app

And yeah sure, you could grab the one from the RPC docs' samples, run it on your dedicated server

To login, it's <RPCClient>#login, whereas setting the activity it's <RPCClient>#setActivity

As for self-bots, no, we don't support nor give functionality for that kind of action, it's against the ToS, general developer rules

Taken from the docs:

const clientId = '287406016902594560';
const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read'];

const client = new RPC.Client({ transport: 'websocket' });

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log('Logged in as', client.application.name);
  console.log('Authed for user', client.user.username);

  client.selectVoiceChannel('81384788862181376');
});

// Log in to RPC with client id
client.login({ clientId, scopes });

Note you'll have to change the scopes, transport, IDs and functions to what you need

That's just a minimal sample

spring dune

Websocket is a whitelisted transport btw

Use ipc

hasty magnet

Could anyone guide me to the updated documentation for this

solar sentinel

That said, stuff like subscriptions to channels for message.read scope aren't properly implemented in the library as of currently; you'll have to manually download/implement one of the PRs i.e. #76 or #125, that said you'd have to consult the oauth2 docs for that type of stuff anyway

hasty magnet
solar sentinel

Is there a way to resolve DM channel Ids using the RPC Client? Currently I'm relying on NOTIFICATIONS_CREATE, which contains the corresponding channelId.

vestal moth

You need the Discord App for having the Rpc?

And whats the difference between discord-rpc & discord-rich-presence? (npm packages)

solar sentinel

discord-rpc is discord.js's implementation of the RPC endpoints, which let you programmatically interact with the Discord app, i.e. change active channels or join a voice channel

discord-rich-presence is a wrapper on top of discord-rpc that only does the setActivity() functionality of the rpc package, it cannot do the extra bits, but as such is simpler to use

rich presence is stuff like

hasty magnet

how do we add the latter two interactive buttons

the github and paypal thing

quiet hazel

<Client>.setActivity({ buttons: [{label: "Github", url: "https://..."}, {label: "Paypal", url: "https://..."}], ... })

Thankyou @quiet hazel 🙌

Why does it always say that it couldn’t connect when everything is set up correct?

nimble yarrow
turbid oliveBOT

Things to consider when getting a connection closed/could not connect error:
• What transport are you using? If it's 'websocket', change that to 'ipc'
• Is the ID you are trying to login with your user ID? If so, get one from the developer portal instead
• Are you using the Discord app? It won't be able to connect to the web version
• Is your code running on the same machine as the Discord app?
• Are you trying to run it from WSL? If so, it won't be able to connect either
• Have you installed Discord from the snap store? If so, install it from your distro's package repository or directly from the Discord website

topaz surge

how do i add buttons to the rich presence

short sundial

?rpc-buttons

turbid oliveBOT

If you want to add buttons to your rich presence, Inside your setActivity call, you can use buttons: [ { label: " ", url: " " }, { label: " ", url: " "} ], you can have a maximum of 2 buttons
You wil not be able to press these buttons on your own account, so dont freak out when something doesnt pop up when you click it

karmic jolt

Don't use the private client.request method, there is setActivity() for that

gusty hollow

when i try to install the package, i get this error, any idea why?

pastel trench

You need visual studio c++ workload

and the second error is... well... a missing package or an error in your path.

but are the packages needed to code an rpc, discord.js, init, discord-rpc and dotenv ?

nimble yarrow

only discord-rpc

everything else is only needed if... well... you need it

smoky scroll

i mean i put my application id in a dotenv

nimble yarrow

Well, then you need the package.
But I don't see how this is RPC Support related.

ah I see, it isn't running on same device as the discord app

I prob need a vps then

tribal pecan

Wasn't RPC going to be deprecated in favor of the game sdk?

nimble yarrow

whut, no, that would be stupid

tribal pecan
nimble yarrow

Yeah, no, pretty sure thats not the same.
They just have a new SDK now.

tribal pecan

Man and there I went writing a full C# application for rich presence purposes using the game sdk

😢

nimble yarrow

Also, deprecated doesn't mean that it doesn't work anymore.

Deprecated basically just means "stop it, we updated stuff, use the new stuff"

tribal pecan

With the active updates to discord i would assume it would stop working fairly soon after being deprecated

But yeah that's true

nimble yarrow

JarJarYes

tribal pecan

I guess I'll make a js rpc application next PaimonDepression

unless they add buttons to the game sdk rpc real quick

Thanks for the info either way!

I'm trying to use the discordjs RPC package, but I keep getting connection closed when trying to connect. Since a help command for this exists I'll break down all the questions.

• What transport are you using? If it's 'websocket', change that to 'ipc'
I selected 'ipc'
• Is the ID you are trying to login with your user ID? If so, get one from the developer portal instead
Yes, moreso I can use the ID fine when using it through a C# application using the game sdk for rich presence setting.
• Are you using the Discord app? It won't be able to connect to the web version
Yes.
• Is your code running on the same machine as the Discord app?
Yes.
• Are you trying to run it from WSL? If so, it won't be able to connect either
No.
• Have you installed Discord from the snap store? If so, install it from your distro's package repository or directly from the Discord website
What's a snap store? (Using Discord Canary directly from the official website)

smoky scroll

Is it agains't tos to set your own custom atatus with buttons and that using rpc?

With that code

turbid socket

No? That isn't against terms of service, how exactly would it be so? RPC only interfaces with your local Discord app that has a dedicated HTTP/WS URL depending on the situation. That is completely accepted - in fact, Discord has a docs for it. Therein, SET_ACTIVITY is the command, it changes your status, that is allowed since it doesn't have anything to do with modifying the client, since the "thing" is natural. You may read more at https://discord.dev/topics/rpc.

smoky scroll

how do i apply rpc?

fathom lion

ugh... discord docs don't make it clear what scopes you can use with rpc and what transport you should use to get correct access to those scopes

docs make it seems like websocket and ipc are equivalent

fathom lion

and something internally in discord-rpc seems to be failing to catch the error thrown by net.js

merry crown

code:

const client = new DiscordRPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc' }); // Creating a client variable with is our rpc client.
require('dotenv').config(); // Requiring the content of our .env file.

    client.on('ready', async () => { // Calling the ready event.

Things to consider when getting a connection closed/could not connect error:
• What transport are you using? If it's 'websocket', change that to 'ipc'
• Is the ID you are trying to login with your user ID? If so, get one from the developer portal instead
• Are you using the Discord app? It won't be able to connect to the web version
• Is your code running on the same machine as the Discord app?
• Are you trying to run it from WSL? If so, it won't be able to connect either
• Have you installed Discord from the snap store? If so, install it from your distro's package repository or directly from the Discord website

help, i am trying to add an invite embed to my RPC:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const config = require('./config.json');
const client = new Discord.Client({ partials: ["MESSAGE", "CHANNEL", "REACTION"] });
const clientId = '846011257889751081';
const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read'];
const RPC = require('discord-rpc');
const browser = typeof window !== 'undefined';
const rpc = new RPC.Client({ transport: browser ? "websocket" : "ipc"});

client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log("Bot ready");

    const deafultRPC = {
        details: "The best space shooter",
        startTimestamp: 0,
        largeImageKey: "icon",
        largeImageText: "VOID ZONE",

        buttons: [
            { label: "Get VOID ZONE NOW", url: `APP_WEBSITE` },
        ],
    }

    await rpc.setActivity(deafultRPC).catch(err => console.log(err));
});

rpc.login({ clientId: clientId }).catch(console.error);
client.login(config.Token);
``` so that i can invite users to my app ?

solar sentinel You cannot send messages via RPC, which would include sending file attachments.

I mean to host this thing

const client = new DiscordRPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc'}); 

(async () => {
    client.on('ready', async () => { // Calling the ready event.
        await client.setActivity({ // Setting the Rich Presence Activity based on what is passed in here.
            buttons: [{ label: "Join Shop Here", url: " }],
            details: "Ultimate †Rapid's Products",
            largeImageKey: "rpc_icon",
            largeImageText: "†Rapid Shop",
            smallImageKey: 'l',
            smallImageText: 'κλαψε',
            
        }).catch(err => console.log(err));

        console.log("Discord Rich Presence has been enabled.");
    });

    await client.login({ clientId: '860246627092922418' }).catch(console.error); // Logging into our application.

Trying to work around discord sending DMs when using the profile "Ask to Join" button, but that results in 'secrets cannot currently be sent with buttons'
Is there a known ETA when they can be used with buttons? the currently makes it sound like it's a temporary limitation

I would like custom buttons to appear on the profile but still have a joinSecret so sending invites to channel also works

fathom lion

Now that I think about it, I would actually prefer if custom buttons were the only thing that appears on the profile

I'm trying to do a custom rich presence but it doesn't seem to work for me. This is my code

const { Client } = require('discord-rpc');

const client = new Client({ transport: 'ipc' });

client.on('ready', () => {
    client.setActivity({
        details: 'I am Redfer',
        smallImageKey: 'redfer',
        smallImageText: 'test',
        buttons: [
            { label: 'Test', url: 'link' }
        ]
    }).catch((e) => console.log);
})

client.login({ clientId: 'clientID' })

I don't get any errors either

is it just not visable to me or something?

manged to get it to work now

for some reason it has low priority or something

If you want to add buttons to your rich presence, Inside your setActivity call, you can use buttons: [ { label: " ", url: " " }, { label: " ", url: " "} ], you can have a maximum of 2 buttons
You wil not be able to press these buttons on your own account, so dont freak out when something doesnt pop up when you click it

Some knows how can I, make my own rpc the top in the priority scale of another games

?

solar sentinel

This is unlikely to change considering hobbyist/individual RPC clients are a rather hacky aspect of Discord, and RPC is largely deprecated in favor of the Games SDK. Our use-case is more of a side-effect of their RPC implementation- this is the same reason why a number of the features are whitelist only.

fathom lion

Discord's documentation around rpc is very weird. I think they used to say outright that you should use gamesdk, but now the docs say rpc is in private beta. Also there's rich presence documentation that's even more behind

I'm not actually on my pc. But It's like this:

const clientId = '...';
const clientSecret = '...';
const scopes = ['rpc'];
const client = new RPC.Client({ transport: 'ipc' });
client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log('Logged in as', client.application.name);
  console.log('Authed for user', client.user.username);
});
client.login({ clientId, scopes, clientSecret });

I'm now guessing it's because I need to specify the redirect url

proven gate
bleak wave

I had a question, why is the documentation about Discord-RPC is not as detailed as Discord.js
What I mean is like the properties of Args is not even specified

So it is getting a bit hard to know the possible params

Mmh when i connect it always ask me to authorize my app... Is there a way to "save" this? Is it based on the access token? Should I get it and then save to always use it?

Also the button doesn't work lol. idk if the problem is of my discord app, but when i click on it nothing appears

The button does not work for yourself, you need an alt account running on a different release (canary/ptb)

Hii, how would you remove the activity? I know how to turn on the activity, or replace it, but I don't know how I would remove it.

nimble yarrow
atomic sparrow

When you have that problem, you can just change back to Main, then to RPC again.

atomic sparrow

Ye I did, I just didn't know if I should have reported it

What I don't understand is, can someone just use a clientId and try and start their rcp?

Or am I supposed to use a different application for my rcp so no1 finds out which ID that application has. Now I am using one of my bots, which is stupid if I'm correct.

karmic jolt

You don't need to keep the application id secret, no

The id only really matters if you need to use assets

nimble yarrow

Isn't the app id the id of the bot anyway?

karmic jolt

For 99% of bots yes

But for really old ones they're different

open cove

how can i do like this or can i do

Make a multi million dollar application and then get in contact with Discord- those are proprietary to Spotify's RPC. Similar to how Twitter gets special embeds on Discord.

Yeah I had this problem too lol. If you don't need any other scope outside just setting the activity you can avoid specifying scopes so that it doesn't require a redirect uri. If you need scopes, so add the redirect Uri you're using in your Dev Portal. You can also directly use an access token so that it doesn't need to do an API call to get the access token

Discord RPC only works if you are running discord and your app on the same device (as stated in the 4th bullet point)

It's your app using IPC (usually Windows' named pipes) to send data to discord. This does not work if your app is running on cloud somewhere

RPC has to be running on the same local environment as your Discord Client.

All of those are correct.

This error just arose 2 days ago but the presence was showing up prior with no issues.

Your code is functional for me; most likely you are providing an invalid clientId.

Thats most commonly due to people using a number instead of a string.

Yeah and I have it as a string not an integer.

Very unlikely, but are you using the applicationId, or the clientId (clientId is found in the OAuth2 tab)

On very old applications, they can be different, but it should be the same value for 99% of people

The only other possibility I see is that you are simply not calling the function; your function header syntax seems a bit wonky

everything checks up

could it be something with my discord?

wait do i need client secret?

or public key?

timid sky
nimble yarrow

you should only need the app id

timid sky

the client id?

nimble yarrow

the app id

application id

timid sky

o yeah

nimble yarrow

but move the .setActivity call inside the ready event

timid sky

oh yeah

lmao

still doesn't work

nimble yarrow

• What transport are you using? If it's 'websocket', change that to 'ipc'
• Is the ID you are trying to login with your user ID? If so, get one from the developer portal instead
• Are you using the Discord app? It won't be able to connect to the web version
• Is your code running on the same machine as the Discord app?
• Are you trying to run it from WSL? If so, it won't be able to connect either
• Have you installed Discord from the snap store? If so, install it from your distro's package repository or directly from the Discord website

timid sky

it's ipc, i'm logging in with client.login({clientId: " id i got from developer page "});, yes i'm using discord ptb (does ptb still work?), yes same machine, no i use ubuntu not on windows, no from official site

sorry was busy with irl stuff

yep it works

was just my code ig

@nimble yarrow I'm getting a similar issue. Here's my code:

import { Client } from 'discord-rpc'

const clientId = '872862032226054215'
const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read']

const client = new Client({ transport: 'ipc' })

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log(client.user.username)
})

await client
  .login({
    clientId,
    scopes,
  })
  .catch(console.error)

Prints the following error:

Once you've connected the RPC client, is there a way to get more than the last 50 messages in a channel?

solar sentinel

No, what is your usecase?

torn robin

I was hoping to read more than 50, but that's okay

Also I'm trying to subscribe to a channel

But I'm getting an error

solar sentinel

Im a bit curious how you are even getting 50 historical messages via RPC

torn robin

Error: Invalid channel id: undefined

You can get up to 200 if the user scrolls back @solar sentinel

It's kind of neat/inconsistent lol

Anyways, I'm trying this:

  await client.selectTextChannel('823158486593699850')
  await client.subscribe('MESSAGE_CREATE', data => console.log(data))

I think the subscribe method needs to take the channel id

solar sentinel 
await client.subscribe('MESSAGE_CREATE', { channel_id: '823158486593699850' }, (msg) => {
  console.log(msg)
})
torn robin

Doh, there is an overload

Sorry my bad

solar sentinel

that said Im not sure if current build properly handles that event

there have been PRs since I messed with it, so perhaps it does, but I had to manually merge stuff and have been using my own fork for stuff
(EDIT it does, talked in DMs and my fork fix his issues https://github.com/alanbixby/discordjs-rpc)

RPC is not defined:

const Discord = require("discord.js")
const clientId = 'none';
const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read'];

const client = new RPC.Client({ transport: 'websocket' });

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log('Logged in as', client.application.name);
  console.log('Authed for user', client.user.username);

  client.selectVoiceChannel('none');
});

client.login({ clientId, scopes });
solar sentinel

Read your code. You are importing discord.js instead of discord-rpc.

slate perch

oh lol

solar sentinel

Likewise, you should be using the transport ipc instead of websocket.
Nor are you defining your clientId.

slate perch

didnt know it had a separate module

TypeError: Cannot read property 'Client' of undefined

RPC is not a property of the export; dont use a deconstructor on the import

cuz this is a mod for a game basically and i would like to start it when you launch the game and turn it off when u close the game

nimble yarrow

game made with what?

tired linden

idk it's cookie clicker on steam x)

it just released yesterday

is there a easy way to figure it out

I see lots of dll files in there

so i don't think it's java script

solar sentinel

If you are wanting to do rich presence for a public game; discord-rpc is likely not the right route for you.

tired linden

ah

solar sentinel

Public RPC is in both a closed private beta and deprecated in favor of the GameSDK- that said, GameSDK is also behind an application (currently closed)

Meaning if you were to use RPC; you'd have to manually add people to the Discord application, and be limited to 50 people.

tired linden

i saw that but i never really understood gameSDK

is there a tutorial on gameSDK?

Not by DiscordJS AFAIK.

Hi

why i get that error "Could not connect"?

nimble yarrow
still escarp why i get that error "Could not connect"?

Things to consider when getting a connection closed/could not connect error:
• What transport are you using? If it's 'websocket', change that to 'ipc'
• Is the ID you are trying to login with your user ID? If so, get one from the developer portal instead
• Are you using the Discord app? It won't be able to connect to the web version
• Is your code running on the same machine as the Discord app?
• Are you trying to run it from WSL? If so, it won't be able to connect either
• Have you installed Discord from the snap store? If so, install it from your distro's package repository or directly from the Discord website

In short:

  • No Repl.it
  • No RPC for bots
  • RPC has to be run on the same machine the discord app runs on
  • ID to log in is the application id, nothing else

it only works with the discord application, not the web version

still escarp

so i have to download The application on the laptop ?

nimble yarrow

yes

• Is your code running on the same machine as the Discord app?
that means that the node.js process has to be on the same device as the discord application

so repl.it for example won't work

WSL is Windows Subsystem for Linux afaik

If you don't know what that means, it's most likely not relevant for you.

about the node

nimble yarrow

okay?

still escarp

is this effects on any thing ?
