In TypeScript, I have a type accepting a single value of an array of said values.
type SingleOrArray<T> = T | T[];
For example, "bread", and ["baked", "bread"] are valid. What would be the most appropriate method for checking if I'm dealing with a single or array of values? I could do typeof, but wondering if there's a preferred method in TypeScript.
lyric mountain
In java there's isArray(), maybe there's something similar in ts
quartz kindle
Array.isArray(value)
lyric mountain
Oh well
sudden geyser
Yeah regular JS has that method too. Is that the preferred way in TS?
quartz kindle
i mean
if you want to detect the type at run time, you have to use js methods
a pure ts approach only works at compile time, if you know the type beforehand, using stuff like something as Array<T>
anyhow, the js method will already give you the TS intellisense you want

I have a sqlite database, right
cinder patio
socket.on("connection", function (socket) {
socket.on("login", function (data) {
var insertDatabase = db.prepare(
"INSERT INTO users_online (count) VALUES (?)"
);
insertDatabase.run(1);
});
socket.on("disconnect", function () {
});
});
trying to store there currently active user count
I'm having an issue
nothing works
no idea how to do it
socket.on("connection", function (socket) {
socket.on("login", function (data) {
var insertDatabase = db.prepare(
"INSERT INTO users_online (count) VALUES (?)"
);
insertDatabase.run(db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users_online") + 1);
});
socket.on("disconnect", function () {
var insertDatabase = db.prepare(
"DELETE FROM users_online (count) VALUES (?)"
);
insertDatabase.run(db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users_online") - 1);
});
});
``` maybe????????????nope having so many errorss
socket.on doesn't work whatsoever what
ancient nova
also why are they the same name
should they not be?
also I just realized socket.io doesn't work
socket.on('connection', function (socket) {
console.log("User Connected!!!!")
});
``` it doesn't even log whenever I'm opening the websitethen fix that first
its not a good idea to use the same name for 2 different things
quartz kindle
easy to get confused on which is which, and the outer one becomes inaccessible
ancient nova
I know, I just forgot to change them
/** PORT SOCKET */
const server = require('http').Server(app);
server.listen(8001, function () {
console.log("Your server is listening on port " + listener.address().port);
});
/** GET ONLINE USER COUNT */
const socket = require('socket.io')(server);
socket.on('connection', function (socket) {
console.log("User Connected!!!!")
});
``` why does this not workdid you add the client side?
ancient nova
did you add the client side?
wait I have to manually update it client side?
I was thinking it would automatically detect it if I was using fetch to call the api
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
console.log("User Connected");
io.emit("user-count-change", +1);
socket.on("disconnect", () => {
console.log("User Disconnected");
io.emit("user-count-change", -1);
});
});
``` I would create a json endpoint to get the final user countalso I got the user connected to pop up whenever I visited the website
quartz kindle
show your client side code
ancient nova
show your client side code
I have no client-side code besides node-fetch json request
SqliteError: no such table: users_online
I keep getting this error
db.prepare("CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users_online (count)")
I'm literally creating it here
ancient nova
also added this bit
visit the website and check the html
I think sqlite is at fault
civic scroll
{"success":true,"count":{"count":"[object Object]1"}}
it returns this {"success":true,"count":{"count":"[object Object]1"}}
count 2 times
also wtf is object object
supposed to return this
{"success":true,"count":"1"}
ancient nova
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
console.log("User Connected");
io.emit("user-count-change", +1);
db.prepare("INSERT INTO users_online (count) VALUES (?)").run(
db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users_online") + 1
);
socket.on("disconnect", () => {
console.log("User Disconnected");
io.emit("user-count-change", -1);
db.prepare("INSERT INTO users_online (count) VALUES (?)").run(
db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users_online") - 1
);
});
});
how?
quartz kindle
db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users_online") returns an object
ancient nova
I forgot to add .get() I think
quartz kindle
even with .get() it still returns an object
db.prepare("SELECT count FROM users_online").get().count + 1
ancient nova
ah I see
/** GET ONLINE USERS **/
app.get("/checkOnline", function (request, response) {
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
var getOnlineUsersFromDatabase = db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users_online");
let databaseResponse = getOnlineUsersFromDatabase.get();
response.json({ success: true, count: databaseResponse });
});
``` this is server side - endpointdoes users_online only have a single row?
ancient nova
let me see
it still returns {"success":true,"count":{"count":"[object Object]1"}}
do I have to clear it?
quartz kindle
.get() returns an object containing the database response
"SELECT * FROM users_online" returns all columns from that table
so .get() returns something like { count: 1, othercolumn: otherdata, ... }
quartz kindle
console.log(getOnlineUsersFromDatabase.get())
ancient nova
console.log(getOnlineUsersFromDatabase.get())
{ count: '[object Object]1' }
quartz kindle
.count
quartz kindle
{ count: '[object Object]1' }
then you saved it wrong
ancient nova
clearly you ignored my message
haven't
civic scroll
you didn't specify the property
ancient nova
adding that returns as undefined
civic scroll
.count then
quartz kindle
his database is polluted with invalid data, because he saved it wrong
you need to remove that data and save it again, but correctly this time
civic scroll
also multiple read / writes to db like tha
is a bad practice
you should save on interval
ancient nova
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
console.log("User Connected");
io.emit("user-count-change", +1);
db.prepare("INSERT INTO users_online (count) VALUES (?)").run(
db.prepare("SELECT count FROM users_online").get().count + 1
);
socket.on("disconnect", () => {
console.log("User Disconnected");
io.emit("user-count-change", -1);
db.prepare("INSERT INTO users_online (count) VALUES (?)").run(
db.prepare("SELECT count FROM users_online").get().count - 1
);
});
});
``` ```js
app.get("/checkOnline", function (request, response) {
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
var getOnlineUsersFromDatabase = db.prepare("SELECT * FROM users_online");
console.log(getOnlineUsersFromDatabase.get())
let databaseResponse = getOnlineUsersFromDatabase.get();
response.json({ success: true, count: databaseResponse.count });
});
I'll do that later
first need it to actually work
quartz kindle
```js
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
console.log("User Connected");
io.em...
you fixed the saving part, but you need to delete what you saved before, because the saved data is invalid now
either delete your db file, or run "DELETE from users_online"
quartz kindle
or run a the update with a fixed number
also, you dont need to update like that
you can do this
civic scroll
save in a track var
sage lake
Member A would click a drop-down button In #post-listing channel
The bot would DM Member A and collect the required info (BUY/SELL, Description, price, image). Once thats completed they would post it in #trading channel
Member B is interested in that offer so they dm Member A
Once they agree on a trade they would manually complete that trade In-game
Once thats completed Member A can mark the listing as Sold/Fulfilled through a drop down button```would a bot like this be easy to make?
quartz kindle
wait, your db setup is wrong in so many levels lol
sage lake
I have no past experience
quartz kindle
db.prepare("INSERT INTO users_online (count) VALUES (?)").run(

``` this is not updating the value in the database, this is creating a new entry with the new valuehow?
quartz kindle
you are INSERTing a new row
ancient nova
insert is inserting into the database
adding
I get the count and add 1
do I not?
civic scroll
you need to UPDATE
quartz kindle
think of it as a table
civic scroll
you want to update a row, not inserting new ones
ancient nova
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'count')
getting an error
should I create a new table, now?
quartz kindle
sqlite is a relational database, it stores data in tables, you need to understand how the table works
civic scroll
ancient nova
I am about to die
should I send the entire code
I think I messed up bad
it keeps giving me this

where is the CREATE TABLE for users_online?
nvm found it
so basically
you have a table that looks like this
table users_online
------------------------
| count |
------------------------
| |
| |
when you do INSERT INTO users_online
it becomes like this
table users_online
------------------------
| count |
------------------------
| 0 |
| |
if you insert count 0 for example
if you INSERT again
it becomes this
table users_online
------------------------
| count |
------------------------
| 0 |
| 0 |
| |
for each INSERT you do, you create a new entry
and when you do SELECT * from users_online using .get(), you get { count: 0 }, and since you didnt specify a WHERE, it always gets the first row
if you did SELECT * from users_online using .all(), you would get [ { count: 0 }, { count: 0 } ]
which i dont think is what you want
if you do like you did before
"INSERT INTO users_online (count) VALUES (SELECT count + 1 FROM users_online)"
since you didnt use a WHERE, it autoselects the first row, so its always 0
and since you keep inserting, it will keep creating new rows
in the end you will end up with a database like this
table users_online
------------------------
| count |
------------------------
| 0 |
| 1 |
| 1 |
| 1 |
| 1 |
| 1 |
| 1 |
| 1 |
| 1 |
| 1 |
which makes no sense
ancient nova
okay so in the code I sent I changed INSERT into UPDATEwhich still gave me errors
civic scroll
update where
civic scroll
i mean the row in which you did the update
ancient nova
wdym
ancient nova
I'm sorry to be so hard to help but
civic scroll
i have no expertise nor the patient for this
ancient nova
I really don't understand
it's my second time using sqlite and my first time using socket
civic scroll
go look at his explaination
this is about SQL language
nothing's wrong with sqlite or socketio
you still don't understand relational databases
ancient nova
never said there is something wrong, might've just coded it wrong
civic scroll
that's where the problem is
quartz kindle
you probably want something like this:
table users_online
------------------------
| count |
------------------------
do this only once after you create the table, then comment it out
INSERT INTO users_online (count) VALUES (0)
now you have
table users_online
------------------------
| count |
------------------------
| 0 |
then you do this UPDATE users_online SET count = count + 1 and UPDATE users_online SET count = count - 1
since you will only ever have 1 row, you dont need to use WHERE, but it will likely improve performance and be more correct to use a primary key
sqlite creates a hidden rowid column when you dont have your own primary key
so in fact, your table actually looks like this, you just dont know it
table users_online
------------------------------------------------
| rowid | count |
------------------------------------------------
| 1 | 0 |
so to make it more correct and also improve performance, you can add WHERE rowid = 1
for example UPDATE users_online SET count = count + 1 WHERE rowid = 1
ancient nova
okay, I've done all the above added WHERE rowid = 1 now for the endpoint I do something like: SELECT * FROM users_online WHERE rowid = 1 as well? @quartz kindle
quartz kindle
okay, I've done all the above added `WHERE rowid = 1` now for the endpoint I do ...
yes
since you only have count it doesnt really matter, but you can also use SELECT count FROM
quartz kindle
because rowid is never automaticcally selected
ancient nova
because `rowid` is never automaticcally selected
makes sense
I'll include that in the scripts above as well
also
could you try visiting this so I can see if it's working? https://transparent-speckle-door.glitch.me/

quartz kindle
depends, what do you want to do in the client side?
ancient nova
depends, what do you want to do in the client side?
since nobody is actually going to visit the website, and I want to update the users_online count based on me using node-fetch to get the count from IP
basically
quartz kindle
i mean, since you already have the websocket running, it would be a waste not to use it
ancient nova
actually it stopped making sense in my head just now, how exactly how I make this work?
quartz kindle
you want to display an auto-updating count on the website right?
ancient nova
const processActiveUsers = function () {
// clientside here
Active += 1;
}
nope, in my program rather
the website is just the api
quartz kindle
so what do you want to display on the website?
ancient nova
so what do you want to display on the website?
nothing, just the json which gives the count to the program
quartz kindle
that makes no sense lol
ancient nova
that's what I'm saying...
let me think
I have a page with statistics right
and I want this to take the json from the website
and put it in the statistics page, right?
and I want to update the count based on who opens my program, rather than who opens the website, so basically, I'd ping the website every couple seconds if the person is still using the program
I hope that makes sense
quartz kindle
so you only want the socket to detect when a user leaves the page and nothing else?
ancient nova
well he won't be opening the actual API so
that's why I'd rather ping it
const processActiveUsers = async function () {
const getOnlineUserCount = await fetch(`https://transparent-speckle-door.glitch.me/checkOnline`).then(res => res.json());
if (getOnlineUserCount.success != false) Active += getOnlineUserCount.count;
}
something like this @quartz kindle
quartz kindle
im still confused but oh well
because the main function of websockets is to enable the server to send stuff to the client, ie the user's browser, without the client needing to do anything, ie fetch, etc
for example to create auto-updating stuff on the user's browser
receiving notifications, messages, etc
lyric mountain
can't u just track who's online by using the onOpen/onClose event?
ancient nova
can't u just track who's online by using the `onOpen`/`onClose` event?
????
lyric mountain
like, there are 2 events that happen when the client connects or disconnects
I use that for my canvas game so join/leave gets announced on the chat
ancient nova
wtf why didn't I see anything about it online when I was researching
lyric mountain
like, you still need to keep track of who's connected
add when connecting, remove when disconnecting
lyric mountain
oh
quartz kindle
not native websocket
lyric mountain
idk if I'm biased, but my experience with socket.io was terrible
raw websockets feel easier
ancient nova
idk if I'm biased, but my experience with socket.io was terrible
I currently am having a terrible experience, though
lyric mountain
I currently am having a terrible experience, though
plus socket.io doesn't use sockets but http requests
so it's technically a midway between api and websocket
civic scroll
ws is actually better
lyric mountain
that's my opinion too
civic scroll
you can broadcast data and know when it disconnects
ancient nova
so it's technically a midway between api and websocket
that's actually good
civic scroll
much more easier
lyric mountain
except I'd choose wss instead 
ancient nova
since I am actually it calling it as a sort of API
lyric mountain
that's actually good
no it's bad
ancient nova
const processActiveUsers = async function () {
await fetch(`https://transparent-speckle-door.glitch.me/`); //ping the website first to add your to the online user count.
const getOnlineUserCount = await fetch(`https://transparent-speckle-door.glitch.me/checkOnline`).then(res => res.json());
if (getOnlineUserCount.success != false) {
Active = getOnlineUserCount.count;
process.title = `ZERO V2 | LOGGED AS: ${Username.toUpperCase()} | ACTIVE RIGHT NOW: ${Active} |`;
}
}
you don't get the performance of websockets nor the flexibility of apis
civic scroll
just use separated http and ws
lyric mountain
wait really?
ye, socket.io doesn't use sockets
it sends everything through http(s)
lyric mountain
who knows
civic scroll
an http lib that mimics ws
quartz kindle
it does use websocket whenever possible
Although Socket.IO indeed uses WebSocket as a transport when possible, it adds some metadata to each packet: the packet type, the namespace and the packet id when a message acknowledgement is needed.
quartz kindle
The connection will fall back to HTTP long-polling in case the WebSocket connection cannot be established.

why are you setting a static folder called css if your css isnt held in a folder named as such?

use the express.static
should be something like /src/public
depending on your directory formating

yea, its not even required. but if used should point to files the client can access

@quartz kindle you might've messed up on the two byte header code
apparently the most significant bytes are on the right not left
ah right i forgot my endians
little endian stores most significant on the right
why do we even have these differences in the first place
quartz kindle
because they exist lul
split hazel
is there even performance differences between them
quartz kindle
i think most things use big endians by default
not really
in some edge cases there are differences
quartz kindle
for example when you cannot know the total length of the number or data you are writing, there are differences in how to handle it
for example stuff like variable ints
that are used in video codecs
split hazel
slow down speedyos doesnt have video yet
quartz kindle
generally it doesnt really matter
one concrete example i've personally faced was writing 64 bit ints in node
there is a native setBigUint64() method in DataView and writeBigUint in Buffer
and i wanted to store only the necessary bytes, not the full 8 bytes
using little endian, i could write the full 8 bytes, then ignore the unused bytes at the end
with big endian i'd need to copy all used bytes to the left instead, which is more costly
split hazel
yeah that is true
quartz kindle
but these are very edge cases, most times the endianess doesnt matter
split hazel
one concrete example i've personally faced was writing 64 bit ints in node
thats illegal
quartz kindle
my bigint serializing function has 3 different ways of doing it, depending on the bigint size lel
bigins and strings in js suffer from various performance issues where some methods are faster as long as the data is small, other methods become faster as the data size increases
split hazel
basically loops in a nutshell
quartz kindle
yup
split hazel
of course there has to be 4 different ways to iterate over something in js
iterators, for of, for ;, foreach
quartz kindle
the differences are mostly pure js vs native
pure js is faster as long as the data is small
native code is faster otherwise
for example, looping over each character using string.charCodeAt() is faster than Buffer.from(string) if the string is smaller than around 30 characters (depending on cpu and node version)
split hazel
i wont even bother
god i hate the fact tcp has to forecefully group packets
the world would've been a better place if arpanet was the modern internet
quartz kindle
lel
split hazel
oh wait that uses tcp 💀
quartz kindle
streams are more efficient
packets are grouped to not overload cpu and network, makes efficient use of hardware maximum transmission units, its a nice system
split hazel
yeah i get that but its annoying having to handle split packets
i got the split system working now i need to add checks to prevent buffer overflows and incorrect formats of data
would not be nice if someone set the size to 65535 which would cause the array to overrun causing a possible segmentation fault and buffer underflows
split hazel
@quartz kindle now when i wanna test my split packet handling the packets happen to get sent seperately perfectly each time
there we go crisis averted
split hazel
@earnest phoenix just want to appreciate how in buffers the slice function actually crops the buffer instead of making a new one
really efficient and makes buffer a real tool for power users

I have a complicated NodeJS script that fetches captions and stores it locally. It has a bunch of async/await functions, but the subtitle does get downloaded eventually (see the the sourceb.in link if you want to view the subtitle yourself). I mention that because for some reason the subtitle doesn't ever get loaded. Or rather it does, but it doesn't appear in the HTML player. I'm quite confused because removing the default option displays the "English Subtitles" option in which I can toggle it on/off, but nothing is shown. Adding the default option removes the "English Subtitles" option in which I can't toggle it on/off, and once again nothing is shown. TLDR, I'm having trouble with the <track> tag as none of the subtitles are shown.

I'm trying to use express to pipe a response to my main server since for some reason subtitles/captions don't work if they are local (???). I have this code so far, but I get the error Error [ERR_STREAM_CANNOT_PIPE]: Cannot pipe, not readable.
app.get("/subtitle*", async(req, res) => {

let id = req.params[0];

let stream = fs.createReadStream(path);
console.log(stream);
res.set('Content-Type', 'text/vtt');
res.pipe(stream);
res.end();
}
});
});

Then in my express page, I use HTML and jQuery to send an HTTP request and set the track src like this:
JavaScript
// API is the home page. Essentially localhost:3000
$.get(api + '/subtitle/${id}', function(data) {

$('track').attr('src', video);

Hey developers-- when is the best time to redeem your $15 vote credits?
wheat mesa
ok so if anyone knows how to handle this (with relatively little context, it's difficult to explain my exact project structure), I have a parser that can currently handle prefix unary operators (like -5, or -sin(3.14), etc), but I'm wondering how I should handle postfix unary operators (like 5!, or sin(3.14)!)
private Expression Unary()
{
// TODO: make this work with factorials/postfix unary ops
while (Match(TokenType.Minus))
{
var op = Previous();
var expr = Unary();
return new ExpressionUnary(expr, op);
}
return Primary();
}
``` basically `Primary()` is where number literals and stuff like that are identified and parsed properly, but the problem is that I can't seem to get postfix operators to work(Previous() gets the previous token in the list)
It's difficult to post all of the code since it's a very heavily linked structure, but essentially the expression -5! would be scanned into the tokens ```
Minus
Number (5)
Factorial
Eof
this is c# btw
nevermind, I made a really simple solution and I realized I was just overthinking it
probably not the best solution, but It works™️ ```cs
private Expression Factorial()
{
var expr = Unary();
while (Match(TokenType.Factorial))
{
var op = Previous();
expr = new ExpressionUnary(expr, op);
}
return expr;
}
private Expression Unary()
{
while (Match(TokenType.Minus))
{
var op = Previous();
var expr = Unary();
return new ExpressionUnary(expr, op);
}
return Primary();
}

isn't it accurate enough as it is?
if you need more precision than the datatype offers you shouldn't be using that datatype
wheat mesa
isn't it accurate enough as it is?
the slight imprecision in pi makes it so things like Math.Tan(pi / 2) returns some large number instead of NaN, and same thing with Math.Tan(pi / 4) returning some slightly imprecise floating point instead of 1
It's not that I need really precise decimals, I just need to handle special cases where the exact value is known to be a certain number
Any other case is plenty accurate for my case
scenic kelp
i mean then the only issue is you can have numbers that are so close to pi/2 but aren't actually pi/2 that get treated as though they are
wheat mesa
I suppose I should probably just handle asymptotes and whole number values as special cases, and let the built in function handle everything else
wheat mesa
i mean then the only issue is you can have numbers that are so close to pi/2 but...
well, the way the user would pass in something to that function would be by typing tan(pi / 2) or something similar, and pi gets evaluated as Math.PI

you cannot get the logged in 'bot_id's information as far as i know, not without authorizing yourself with discord api

you would have to, in your bots code, create an api with an endpoint for you to contact from your rpc code

well i host my bot so i have an endpoint ig

then you create some endpoint like /bot-stats that returns json counts of your servers etc

how can i do it? i mean return a json counts in my api ?
neat ingot
that completely depends on how your api is setup
stiff dust
i dono ¯_(ツ)_/¯
neat ingot
but the basics of it is: get the count from your bot and return that information
stiff dust
but even i do this we have another problem
i need to run the code day by day
with your application am i need to run it everytime?
neat ingot
if using a node.js server powered with express, thats as simple as doing something like:
app.get('/stats', (req, res) => {
res.json({
some: 'property',
})
});
my app can start when your pc does
there is an option for it in the app settings
but you would still need to create your api endpoint
stiff dust
okay tnx
neat ingot
i cant help with that part im afraid 🙂

What I did when I was using RPC for a bit is I had a db with the stats updated every 30 seconds or so, and the RPC would grab that data from the db
So that I didn’t need to create an api like that

i want to go to the page where i have added my server to see how many votes it has got so how can i go there

Looking for assistance with Topggpy Python lib.
The Webhook configuration in github references using @topgg.endpoint() while the topgg api document does not, and instead references bot.topgg_webhook = topgg.WebhookManager(bot).dbl_webhook().
I have configured my bot both ways to get the webhook api to work but it is not working. There are no errors in logs for this. My bot is simply not picking up the vote event

If a client makes an HTTP GET request to a REST API and that API modifies global state that may have an effect on the request and future requests, is that really a GET request 
neat ingot
If a client makes an HTTP GET request to a REST API and that API modifies global...
global state of what?
like, i could see some get request that stores state/data so it doesnt repeat itself for some duration
some some meme fetcher api or something
sudden geyser
Anything. Could be a map or a database. Could only affect 3 or 3 billion devices.
solemn latch
sounds like a patch
neat ingot
if a request takes input data to alter some db item or similar that would be later referenced/recalled, then it should not use get requests
sudden geyser
Say, if a request for an image causes the server to run a task to save and cache it, is that really a GET request? To the client, it does the same thing. But internally, it's not. 
neat ingot
well, that kinda is, your just cacheing it
your acting as a proxy with a cache for a get request - to be more specific
assuming you fetch the image from somewhere else
if you generate it, then thats just being resource conscious imo 😄
boreal iron
Say, if a request for an image causes the server to run a task to save and cache...
Why wouldn’t it be one? In that scenario the client can also decide to not do the request
Which in your example isn’t a forced update

This logic is utilized on https://docs.top.gg/libraries/python/, which is from the first time I posted the request for aid as that does not work.
Then there's the github linke https://github.com/top-gg/python-sdk/tree/master/examples/discordpy_example from my 2nd request for aid as that doesn't work, as topgg doesn't have an endpoint() attribute.
There's also https://topggpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/webhook.html which is from my latest posting the request for aid as this does not work, as topgg doesn't have a WebhookEndpoint attribute.

That messaged reads incredibly pretentious and believe me that is not the case.

The latest doc you posted is what I currently have (after reverting from previous attempt) and while it is throwing no errors it s not picking up the vote event.
solemn latch
it was picking up the test event correct?
eager yarrow
No.
solemn latch
🤔 well that changes everything then.
You implied test events got picked up
I'm assuming you are hosting on a vps correct?
eager yarrow
Test events are picked up in my Discord server, so that validates the webhook works (auth key, webhook url, etc)
VPS?
Heroku
solemn latch
what do you mean picked up by your discord server?
eager yarrow
@bot.event
async def on_dbl_vote(ctx, data):
if data["type"] == "test":
# this is roughly equivalent to
# return await on_dbl_test(data) in this case
return bot.dispatch('dbl_test', data)
print(f"Received a vote:\n{data}")
The vote event, when someone votes for my bot, is not being picked up by the bot.

sure, but what do you mean by this?
your getting a message in your discord server when someone test votes?
eager yarrow
sure, but what do you mean by this?
When someone votes for my bot on Topgg my bot should receive voter data. This is not happening.
eager yarrow
your getting a message in your discord server when someone test votes?
Yes. But my bot is not receiving voter data.
solemn latch
so data is empty?
eager yarrow
async def on_dbl_vote(ctx, data): is not hit at all.
on_dbl_vote() is not being invoked.
solemn latch
thats really strange its sending a message, but the events not firing.
did you fill in your heroku url and auth on top.gg in your bots webhook section?
eager yarrow
Yes
solemn latch
👀 when did we add that
rose warren
We didn't
solemn latch
intresting

One message removed from a suspended account.
eager yarrow
On Top.gg, when you route to your bot, click edit, click Webhooks, configure the Webhook URL & the Authorization, click Send Test it sends a voter message to the Discord channel you have the webook in.
solemn latch
with a discord webhook?
solemn latch
thats not a topgg tool, its third party
the reason your event isnt firing is you have the webhook going to webhook-topgg.com not your code.
eager yarrow
Do I type dblwebook in the webhook url?
solemn latch
nope itll be your heroku public url
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains
https://[name of app].herokuapp.com/dblwebhook for example
then your auth will be whatever is in
