#

why are you importing aiohttp 2 times

opal zealot Mar 17, 2018, 6:38 PM

#

uhh i didnt see that

#

xd

edgy nexus Mar 17, 2018, 6:39 PM

#

wait

#

I see the issue

#

guild shouldn't be a parameter of on_ready

opal zealot Mar 17, 2018, 6:40 PM

#

still didnt fix it

edgy nexus Mar 17, 2018, 6:40 PM

#

hmm

#

OH

#

I see

#

You should be declaring variables in the init function

#

but put self. before them

#

so dbltoken = should become self.dbltoken =

#

then put self. before every time one of those variables is used

opal zealot Mar 17, 2018, 6:42 PM

#

self is not defined

edgy nexus Mar 17, 2018, 6:42 PM

#

then you aren't writing the code in the class

#

I said write it in the init function

#

which is in the class

tidal burrow Mar 17, 2018, 6:44 PM

#

your code looks very normal to me, so the only problem I see is indentation error, if you have defined a class it's better to keep every event and command in that class

vernal gate Mar 17, 2018, 6:45 PM

#

I thought someone was making a bot in lua for a second

edgy nexus Mar 17, 2018, 6:45 PM

#

he has to declare the variables in the init function

#

not just somewhere random in the class

tidal burrow Mar 17, 2018, 6:45 PM

#

hmm

opal zealot Mar 17, 2018, 6:45 PM

#

@edgy nexus did you just assume my gender

#

xd

tidal burrow Mar 17, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

well I have mine defined in on_ready event, where I'm doing that API call loop, try my way if that will work

edgy nexus Mar 17, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

or define the variables in the init function, which is much easier

tidal burrow Mar 17, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

oh wait, you are using the dbl library?

edgy nexus Mar 17, 2018, 6:46 PM

#

he is not

opal zealot Mar 17, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

im using aiohttp

#

i got this code from #312614469819826177

#

xd

tidal burrow Mar 17, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

then I don't think defining it in init fuction will do anything

edgy nexus Mar 17, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

that's a faulty example

#

yes it will

tidal burrow Mar 17, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

I can show you my code how I did it, if that helps

edgy nexus Mar 17, 2018, 6:47 PM

#

@tidal burrow if you define a variable in the init function, it's available throughout your entire class

#

if you just put it somewhere random, it doesn't work

#

it isn't lib-specific

#

that's just how classes work

opal zealot Mar 17, 2018, 6:48 PM

#

@tidal burrow yes i want to switch to the dbl library side xd

tidal burrow Mar 17, 2018, 6:49 PM

#

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in as: ' + str(bot.user.name))
    print('Bot ID: ' + str(bot.user.id))
    print('------------------------')
    await bot.change_presence(game = discord.Game(name = '-help'))

    dbltoken = 'not_for_your_eyes.baka'
    headers = {'Authorization' : dbltoken}
    while True:
        urlbot = 'https://discordbots.org/api/bots/' + str(bot.user.id) + '/stats'
        payload = {'server_count': len(bot.guilds)}
        async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
            async with session.post(urlbot, data = payload, headers = headers) as r:
                if r.status == 200:
                    pass
            await session.close()
        await asyncio.sleep(30)

#

that's how I did it

#

I'm doing it as a background task tho

#

calling the API every 30 seconds

#

and btw, I'm not using the dbl lib as well

#

this this aiohttp

ocean sky Mar 17, 2018, 7:02 PM

#

Hey, i've been looking around on the profiles of well-known bots (such as @echo surge) and i'm wondering what "shards" are.

sudden rampart Mar 17, 2018, 7:03 PM

#

they're a way to split your connections to the discord gateway

#

to lower the load on discord's end

#

and allow you to split your bot in multiple processes or even machines

ocean sky Mar 17, 2018, 7:05 PM

#

ahhhhh, OK....wayyyyy beyond me for now....anyway thanks for explaining it to me 😃

gloomy brook Mar 17, 2018, 8:59 PM

#

can we raise the ratelimit to ~120 second :)

#

/s

#

kinda

cobalt ruin Mar 17, 2018, 9:05 PM

#

What problem are you running into

gloomy brook Mar 17, 2018, 9:10 PM

#

tbh just too lazy to use webhooks and ya know, spammy command usage

sudden rampart Mar 17, 2018, 9:12 PM

#

thonk

#

you mean 120/minute?

#

""raising"" to 120 seconds would make it 30/minute instead of 60/minute

gloomy brook Mar 17, 2018, 9:13 PM

#

I meant minute, but I meant 120/minute yes

arctic arch Mar 17, 2018, 9:25 PM

#

that's too much lol

gloomy brook Mar 17, 2018, 9:32 PM

#

:feelslazyman:

sudden rampart Mar 17, 2018, 9:39 PM

#

you can pull upvoters/post stats on an interval

#

so spammy command usage wouldn't affect it

arctic arch Mar 17, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

gonna add something like that to the js module at some point unless someone wants to do that and PR lol

sudden rampart Mar 17, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

i just block requests until ratelimit is done on mine

arctic arch Mar 17, 2018, 9:46 PM

#

also ratelimit handling needs to be made

gloomy brook Mar 17, 2018, 9:48 PM

#

interval is good idea

#

once per minute should be good

restive otter Mar 17, 2018, 10:03 PM

#

How do I get this to work for the bot? (python) I just get the error urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: UNKNOWN_PROTOCOL] unknown protocol (_ssl.c:777)>

reef apex Mar 17, 2018, 10:09 PM

#

are you on rewrite or async?

restive otter Mar 17, 2018, 10:09 PM

#

async

reef apex Mar 17, 2018, 10:10 PM

#

but anyway is better if you do requests with aiohttp lib because urllib is not async

restive otter Mar 17, 2018, 10:10 PM

#

ok

reef apex Mar 17, 2018, 10:10 PM

#

pip install aiohttp
https://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

restive otter Mar 17, 2018, 10:10 PM

#

yeah i already have that

#

im just not using it 😛

reef apex Mar 17, 2018, 10:11 PM

#

bad idea, because it locks up your bot (urllib)

restive otter Mar 17, 2018, 10:11 PM

#

oh ok

reef apex Mar 17, 2018, 10:12 PM

#

you have an example here: https://aiohttp.readthedocs.io/en/stable/client_quickstart.html

restive otter Mar 17, 2018, 10:12 PM

#

so is py r = yield from aiohttp.request('get', 'https://discordbots.org/api/bots/386333909362933772/votes?onlyids=false&days=1')
supposed to work or am i doing it wrong?

reef apex Mar 17, 2018, 10:12 PM

#

you are doing it wrong

#

xd

restive otter Mar 17, 2018, 10:12 PM

#

oh its py async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session: async with session.get('https://discordbots.org/api/bots/386333909362933772/votes?onlyids=false&days=1') as resp: print(resp.status) print(await resp.text())

reef apex Mar 17, 2018, 10:13 PM

#

yup but you'd want to change resp.text() to resp.json()

#

so you get a dict back

restive otter Mar 17, 2018, 10:13 PM

#

k

#

Now i get aiohttp.client_exceptions.ClientConnectorSSLError: Cannot connect to host discordbots.org:443 ssl:True [[SSL: UNKNOWN_PROTOCOL] unknown protocol (_ssl.c:777)]

reef apex Mar 17, 2018, 10:15 PM

#

and the library supports parameters sooo:

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    async with session.get('https://discordbots.org/api/bots/386333909362933772/votes', params={
                        "onlyids": "false",
                        "days": 1
}) as resp:
        print(resp.status)
        print(await resp.text())

#

huh that's interesting are you on linux?

#

maybe is your ssl or openssl lib outdated

restive otter Mar 17, 2018, 10:16 PM

#

isn't it because I need to sign in to get the users?

reef apex Mar 17, 2018, 10:16 PM

no and you should have an Authorization header

use an existing lib because they have examples that wont get you ratelimited

restive otter Mar 18, 2018, 1:47 AM

#

So, if a command that checks if the person has voted everytime they use it, and they use it 61 times in a minute. I will get ratelimited?

calm torrent Mar 18, 2018, 1:47 AM

#

basically post every Xtime

#

uh.. i dont think there are ratelimits for that but you should store it in dbs with webhooks

restive otter Mar 18, 2018, 1:48 AM

but ideally, webhooks

sacred saddle Mar 18, 2018, 2:43 AM

The only thing is that if your bot is down when a webhook would be sent, it'd be pretty riperoni

Maybe also do a once in 24 hour rest call to double check

is this a bug from your API side?

#

my bot says it is in 45 servers

#

but your site says 42

#

Thonk

sudden rampart Mar 18, 2018, 1:21 PM

#

did you post stats

tidal burrow Mar 18, 2018, 1:21 PM

#

it does it every 30 seconds

#

you can see for yourself, the -stats will show it's current server count, but the page will show otherwise

#

dbltoken = 'not_for_your_eyes'
headers = {'Authorization' : dbltoken}
while True:
    urlbot = 'https://discordbots.org/api/bots/' + str(bot.user.id) + '/stats'
    payload = {'server_count': len(bot.guilds)}
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:

            if r.status == 200:
                pass
        await session.close()
    await asyncio.sleep(30)

#

just to show that it does it by itself

#

many minutes have passed and the count did not update, and I can't scroll up in the console to see if anything happened cause putty doesn't allow that

distant flare Mar 18, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

doing it every 30 seconds is bad

#

you'll hit the ratelimit and get blocked for an hour

sudden rampart Mar 18, 2018, 1:33 PM

#

no

#

the limit is 60 requests/minute

#

doing it every 30s is 2/minute

#

a bit overkill tho

distant flare Mar 18, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

oh, woops

tidal burrow Mar 18, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

how is that an overkill? Thonk

#

well anyway, should I try restarting the bot at this point? or would there be any solutions?

#

ok, restarting fixed it, now the site is showing the correct server count, so there was some mistake that happened while I was sleeping 🤔

sudden rampart Mar 18, 2018, 1:50 PM

#

your guild count is unlikely to change in 30s

tidal burrow Mar 18, 2018, 2:00 PM

Currently using dblapi.js to postStats, how would I allow it to show that I am sharding?

inner venture Mar 22, 2018, 2:10 AM

#

@inner rune I dunno how the JS api handles it, but simply posting stats with shard info allows you to show your shard count on the page

inner rune Mar 22, 2018, 2:11 AM

#

So then what would be the best way because I currently do my things like this.

        setInterval(() => {
            this.client.dbl.postStats(this.client.guilds.size, this.client.shard.id, this.client.shard.count);
        }, 1800000);

and this no longer works

inner venture Mar 24, 2018, 12:33 AM

i dont know if youre constructing the body correctly

it kinda looks like youre creating something like

#

{"server_count": {"server_count": 11}}

restive otter Mar 24, 2018, 12:33 AM

#

I'll return the data and I'll see what it outputs.

What do you mean?

restive otter Mar 24, 2018, 12:34 AM

Though the shards are still {"shards":[]}

jsoncontent?

#

or data

restive otter Mar 24, 2018, 12:36 AM

#

I'm encoding $jsoncontent then printing it.

#

I've used this method of posting to other API's all the time - never had an issue.

#

I'm quite surprised with this one..

inner venture Mar 24, 2018, 12:37 AM

Im just concerned about the fact that you have typed "server_count" twice

#

Im not exactly familiar with whatever language youre coding in

#

Those terms dont really make sense together

restive otter Mar 24, 2018, 12:39 AM

inner venture Mar 24, 2018, 12:39 AM

#

As long as it can make simple http requests

#

That's because no one has made a dedicated library for it

#

so there isnt anything to document

restive otter Mar 24, 2018, 12:40 AM

#

for a bot? - impossible

inner venture Mar 24, 2018, 12:41 AM

#

I dont think anyone has created a PHP library for implementing the DBL API

#

Do you think you could try setting data to json_encode($jsoncontent)

#

instead of wrapping it in an array

restive otter Mar 24, 2018, 12:49 AM

#

or if its some firewall/proxy related thing on windows

so could you post the full traceback when it occurs?

How to get upvotes using dlbapi.js??

ashen hull Mar 27, 2018, 1:38 AM

#

I'll get docs 1 sec

#

if the site ever loads...

#

seriously...

#

dbl.getVotes(<boolean only ids>)
and dbl.hasVoted(id)

median cedar Mar 27, 2018, 7:32 AM

#

session.get('https://discordbots.org/api/bots/{}/votes'.format(387322914183184384), params={'onlyids':'true'}, headers={'authorization':'token'}) is only returning 4 IDs when it now has 9 upvotes

#

it also doesn't save the fact that you voted on the website

#

so there's probably an issue with DBL

#

i'll report it in #267327844357636097 cuz it's definitely a bug

inner venture Mar 27, 2018, 7:39 AM

#

@median cedar those. 4 IDs would be the people who voted in the past 30 days

median cedar Mar 27, 2018, 7:40 AM

#

someone voted in the past day

#

and they're not on it

little harbor Mar 27, 2018, 11:31 PM

#

I'm a bit confused as to how the webhooks work... can I like, make the voted webhook post something in a Discord channel, like a Discord webhook?

inner venture Mar 27, 2018, 11:32 PM

#

@little harbor no

#

Webhooks in this case are a generic concept

little harbor Mar 27, 2018, 11:32 PM

#

alright thanks

inner venture Mar 27, 2018, 11:32 PM

#

DBL just sends a POST request to the URL of your chocie whenever someone votes/unvotes on your bot

#

So you'd need to be ready to receive that requesy

frail meadow Mar 28, 2018, 12:04 AM

#

But the api endpoint is still available for bots with under 100 votes per month?

#

Where can we see if this is the case? Or what will be the output if the request was rejected

#

Im working on a Go library rn so 😅 would be useful to know

#

(also @ me plz coz ill be asleep)

Slightly contradicts what the announcement says, but thanks ^^

inner venture Mar 28, 2018, 12:33 AM

#

Not really

frail meadow Mar 28, 2018, 12:34 AM

#

The announcement says the /votes endpoint will be deprecated for bots with over 100 votes per month

#

This screenie says that itll simply limit it to the last 100 votes

#

@inner venture

#

Right?

cobalt ruin Mar 28, 2018, 12:37 AM

#

we use the word deprecated because we want to discourage developers from using the endpoint because we see it as pointless when developers can use webhooks which work better for everyone

frail meadow Mar 28, 2018, 12:38 AM

#

Okay that much makes sense

#

Cheers

#

Should libraries add support for the webhook or no?

vagrant kayak Mar 28, 2018, 12:40 AM

#

I'm not really sure how they could...?

frail meadow Mar 28, 2018, 12:40 AM

#

Might be language dependant

#

And would need some outside help from lib users perhaps

dull sundial Mar 28, 2018, 12:41 AM

#

libaries cant really do that, sure there can be a lib that creates the server for you, unlikely tho. But since it's a request you are receiving and not once you send its a bit harder lol

cobalt ruin Mar 28, 2018, 12:41 AM

#

@frail meadow You can't really do that with webhooks..? But we are hoping to get some tutorials so it's easier to set up for inexperienced users

frail meadow Mar 28, 2018, 12:41 AM

#

Was thinking of channels in Go. But i should probably think about it when its not almost 2am

sudden rampart Mar 28, 2018, 12:42 AM

#

it's out of scope for a wrapper to add webhooks

#

because it'd end up forcing a specific webserver

frail meadow Mar 28, 2018, 12:42 AM

#

Not necessarily

#

(again, might be talking out of my ass here)

sudden rampart Mar 28, 2018, 12:43 AM

#

without bundling a webserver there isn't much a wrapper could help with besides parsing json

frail meadow Mar 28, 2018, 12:43 AM

#

But i get the idea anyways, that it should be excluded

#

Thats as far as i was thinking

#

Hence i said "would need some outside help from lib users"

#

Bundling a web server is an obvious no

tidal finch Mar 28, 2018, 12:59 AM

Did web hook is meant to be discord webhook??

#

I never used a website webhook!!

vagrant kayak Mar 28, 2018, 12:59 AM

#

webhook is a general term, Discord webhook won't work

tidal finch Mar 28, 2018, 1:00 AM

I need more tutorial

Did i need a website

edgy nexus Mar 28, 2018, 1:01 AM

no

tidal finch Mar 28, 2018, 1:01 AM

#

Did it will save data of old users?

sudden rampart Mar 28, 2018, 1:01 AM

#

webhooks don't save data

edgy nexus Mar 28, 2018, 1:01 AM

#

if you tell it to do such

sudden rampart Mar 28, 2018, 1:01 AM

#

you need to save it yourself

tidal finch Mar 28, 2018, 1:01 AM

#

Hmm?

edgy nexus Mar 28, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

ok for starters install nginx or apache on your vps if you have one

tidal finch Mar 28, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

I use heroku/glitch

vagrant kayak Mar 28, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

oh no

edgy nexus Mar 28, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

i'm not sure, but that may work?

vagrant kayak Mar 28, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

they can host webservers so yes

#

Anything can be a webserver

edgy nexus Mar 28, 2018, 1:02 AM

#

ok so no installing apache or nginx

#

i believe they easily support flask

#

so what i would do is learn python then read the docs for flask

#

then you could easily make a webhook

tidal finch Mar 28, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

I use discord.js

edgy nexus Mar 28, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

that has nothing to do with the webhook

tidal finch Mar 28, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

Ok

edgy nexus Mar 28, 2018, 1:03 AM

#

your bot and your webhook are 2 seperate things

tidal finch Mar 28, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

Oh

sudden rampart Mar 28, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

you can have both on a single process

vagrant kayak Mar 28, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

I'm genuinely surprised how many people are confused by this concept

sudden rampart Mar 28, 2018, 1:04 AM

#

if you want to do that, take a look at express (i wouldn't recommend it tho)

tidal finch Mar 28, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

Express is slow than flask?

#

@vagrant kayak me for sure

sudden rampart Mar 28, 2018, 1:05 AM

#

i never used either of those ¯_(ツ)_/¯

tidal finch Mar 28, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

So what i do

sudden rampart Mar 28, 2018, 1:06 AM

#

but i don't recommend running the webserver on the same process as your bot

tidal finch Mar 28, 2018, 1:06 AM

I never used webhook

Works fine for us

restive otter Mar 28, 2018, 6:30 AM

#

hmmmm

old wave Mar 28, 2018, 6:31 AM

#

@restive otter possible that you already voted?

#

And that’s why you’re not getting it?

#

It only counts once every 24 h

restive otter Mar 28, 2018, 6:31 AM

#

I have voted, but it should still show, at least before this announcement, it would show voted/unvoted unlimited times per day

#

would be weird if webhook only fired for a person every 24h, since it includes the "type" in the webhook data
type String The type of the vote (either "upvote" or "none", none means unvoting)

old wave Mar 28, 2018, 6:33 AM

#

Ah

#

It doesn’t do that anymore

restive otter Mar 28, 2018, 6:33 AM

ooooooooooooooooooohhh

old wave Mar 28, 2018, 6:33 AM

It only shows if the vote is successful

restive otter Mar 28, 2018, 6:33 AM

so no more unvotes, and successful votes every 24h?

old wave Mar 28, 2018, 6:34 AM

#

Yh

restive otter Mar 28, 2018, 6:34 AM

should I @ somebody to change that?

How do I set up a webhook to sync my voters to a role on my server?

Yh

#

You add the guild id

#

To the webhook

#

And then you get it back in the web hook

restive otter Mar 28, 2018, 6:40 AM

#

another thing, since they dont include unvotes in webhooks anymore, is the data format for the webhook still the same apart from that?

old wave Mar 28, 2018, 6:44 AM

Yes

It’s just always an upvote object

You get the user id in the web hook

steady sundial Mar 28, 2018, 6:50 AM

Is it possible that my webhook server sends a discord message that a user got credits?

restive otter Mar 28, 2018, 7:14 AM

#

uhhh, something is going on with dblapi.js I think... was working before the announcement. I am getting votes and adding them to an enmap like this:

 dbl.getVotes(true).then(function (voterIDs) {
    console.log(voterIDs.length) // => prints 1890 -- I DEFINITELY dont have 1890 votes. /votes endpoint is just me :p
    voterIDs.forEach(function (voterID) {
        votes.set(voterID, true)
    });
});

Any ideas?

#

the api changed a bit

#

Yeah I got that. So should I just grab from the /votes endpoint for now (i have < 1000 votes) and wait for the lib to get updated?

Compared to something not single threaded, definitely

uncut crystal Mar 28, 2018, 1:31 PM

it's not like adding more servers whatsoever

like, not even close

how do i put an authorization header when using urllib.request in python? i cant figure it out. i think im just dumb

restive otter Mar 28, 2018, 2:17 PM

I don't understand this system.
On page 1 of Top Votes this month there are bots with 5 or less votes and on 2nd page there are bots with over 100 votes.

Is this a bug?

about

vagrant kayak Mar 28, 2018, 5:56 PM

#

Does the test webhook send authorization header if you fill it in or am I missing something here? I tried testing my webhook but Authorization header is NULL

#

Wondering if that's an issue with API or not

arctic arch Mar 28, 2018, 5:57 PM

#

it should but it's an issue

@cobalt ruin pm me the ip so i can ip check webhooks

cobalt ruin Mar 28, 2018, 8:13 PM

#

you can use the auth header 👀

arctic arch Mar 28, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

@golden wind you should not IP check webhooks

golden wind Mar 28, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

2) Webhooks are sent from a different server than before, so if you had an IP check in place, please make sure to revise it

arctic arch Mar 28, 2018, 8:14 PM

#

revise it means throw it out the window and use the authorization

vagrant kayak Mar 28, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

Realistically you guys should do what Google does with their google bot. Set the reverse DNS to be on the domain like IP.rdns.discordbots

#

I mean sure Authorization works but this works too

arctic arch Mar 28, 2018, 8:17 PM

#

IP checking is just dumb

#

worked or not

#

lol

vagrant kayak Mar 28, 2018, 8:18 PM

#

I mean I guess 🤷

#

You could also do the patreon way

#

Webhook Public/Secret system where the webhook is sent with headers that have it encrypted from the webhook secret

#

Or whatever way it was done, I don't remember but it sent an encrypted HMAC which can only be checked via the webhook secret they have

arctic arch Mar 28, 2018, 8:25 PM

#

a cryptographic signature is possible to add later

#

but this way of authorization is the easiest to implement for devs

robust olive Mar 28, 2018, 8:29 PM

#

it's just upvotes 😂 why would you need something like that

arctic arch Mar 28, 2018, 8:30 PM

#

cuz its cool

vagrant kayak Mar 28, 2018, 8:30 PM

Because you're also sending it to a publicly obtainable API

vagrant kayak Mar 28, 2018, 8:31 PM

People can use it to reward users for upvoting but if somehow the URL is known they can fake it

edgy nexus Mar 28, 2018, 8:45 PM

when you test the webhook

#

which id is in the user field

edgy nexus Mar 28, 2018, 8:45 PM

#

okay thanks

vagrant kayak Mar 28, 2018, 8:45 PM

#

(afaik)

#

I didn't actually check it but I saw like 15.... something in mine and that implied it was probably mine since i kind of know my ID

restive otter Mar 28, 2018, 11:09 PM

#

API should return a hash of the payload with concat with the API key

#

So u can check via bot the payload

vagrant kayak Mar 29, 2018, 1:12 AM

Actually I think that's what Patreon does

restive otter Mar 29, 2018, 3:50 AM

Guys can anyone give me a hint about how to use webhooks for votes?

narrow charm Mar 29, 2018, 4:03 AM

Put your webhook in the field in the site.
You will get post requests, listen to it.

restive otter Mar 29, 2018, 4:06 AM

@narrow charm Can you tell me more about webhook?
By asp.net?

narrow charm Mar 29, 2018, 4:07 AM

#

I am also not so good at it. Other dev in my team did it.
and there is some code floating in this channel (if you use js) regarding the usage of webhook.

Why it's returning false

Only those who really know

#

Help me

#

GWmythsBlobWaveCool

distant flare Mar 29, 2018, 9:09 AM

#

first off, the body has a voted property which returns a 1 or 0

#

secondly, snekfetch.get is a promise, so you need to either await it or do everything in a .then

async function getVoted () {
    const { body } = await snekfetch.get(`URL`).set("Authorization", "muh code");
    return body.voted || false;
}

// your command

getVoted().then(voted => {
    channel.send(`You ${voted ? "voted" : "didn't vote :c"}`);
});```

example.exe

or

#

snekfetch.get(`url`).set().then(({ body }) => {
    channel.send(`body.voted`);
});```

how would i get the server usage on the site for widgets, using api key

#

https://gyazo.com/0b5d74c621b85bd3c8d974ed21f6772d

Gyazo

#

by posting your server count onto here?

#

by code then it will auto change or something like that

#

like for websites the embeded widgets

#

the widgets off of discord bot list or somewhere else?

#

yes

#

discord bots

#

is your server count already posted on your bot on discord bot list

#

no

#

thats what im trying to do

#

do that then it will work

#

im asking how do i use the API key

#

what lib

#

Python

#

async

#

not rewrite

#

i dont do discord.py but isn’t there a page on the site

#

its just examples

#

have you seen it tho?

severe mist Mar 30, 2018, 10:05 AM

Personally I would advise against sticking a http server inside your bot

arctic arch Mar 30, 2018, 10:13 AM

#

@severe mist why?

severe mist Mar 30, 2018, 10:15 AM

#

Because it could lead to possible memory issues, and you may run into issues if you shard (discord.js) as it creates additional processes and if they all attempt to open / access the same port can cause problems

#

Having a separate node process for the http server and using a pub/sub system, or adding to a db is the best solution imo

arctic arch Mar 30, 2018, 10:18 AM

#

oh yea

#

if you shard adding the webhook in the bot code is a no-no

#

not only because of the http server bloblul

#

and memory issues just have to be tackled with

severe mist Mar 30, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

I'm currently writing a small bot / http server to handle role rewards for my guild

frail meadow Mar 30, 2018, 10:23 AM

Why would there be memory issues

severe mist Mar 30, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

And I plan on expanding the functionality for the pub/sub system

tough yoke Mar 30, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

So bot if sharded and uses api webhook cant use?

#

So sad

severe mist Mar 30, 2018, 10:23 AM

#

You're adding a http server to your bot, that's a memory issue right there lol

tough yoke Mar 30, 2018, 10:24 AM

#

If use in same processes

#

No problem?

frail meadow Mar 30, 2018, 10:24 AM

#

I dont get how thats a memory issue :p

severe mist Mar 30, 2018, 10:25 AM

#

If your bot is sharded, problems, if it's not sharded, no problems @tough yoke

frail meadow Mar 30, 2018, 10:25 AM

İsnt eris has not sharder and all eris user uses eris-sharder

severe mist Mar 30, 2018, 10:27 AM

#

Eris has a built in sharder

frail meadow Mar 30, 2018, 10:28 AM

Is sharding for our sake or discords?

spice jacinth Mar 30, 2018, 10:35 AM

tough yoke Mar 30, 2018, 10:44 AM

Eris has they own sharder like d.js?

@narrow charm pretty sure you cant have multiple processes bound to the same port

No clue what the memory issue is that he mentioned

Must be a bad http server

tough yoke Mar 30, 2018, 2:04 PM

#

d.js and the api wrapper uses same port?

arctic arch Mar 30, 2018, 2:05 PM

#

d.js uses no ports

#

but when you start shards you start multiple bots

#

which would open the same port multiple times
