fast tapir
who came up with the idea of using JSON instead of post parameters. Just a question
arctic arch
post parameters dont exist
arctic arch
no because you make no sensd
uncut crystal
"post parameters" aren't really a thing
the data a post request generally carries is the post body.. which is exactly what JSON is in this scenario
JSON doesn't replace the post parameters, JSON is what the post parameters are already in

what would password be?

I'm still having an issue using the API. I'm getting a 400 error whenever I send a request.
private static boolean updateStats(int payload, boolean disabled) {
if(disabled) {
return false;
}
try {
URL url = new URL("https://discordbots.org/api/bots/461938818627665940/stats");
StringBuilder postData = new StringBuilder();
postData.append("{\nserver_count: " + payload + "\n}");
byte[] postDataBytes = postData.toString().getBytes("UTF-8");
HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection)url.openConnection();
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", String.valueOf(postDataBytes.length));
conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", dblToken);
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.getOutputStream().write(postDataBytes);
Reader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream(), "UTF-8"));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int c; (c = in.read()) >= 0;)
sb.append((char)c);
System.out.println(sb);
return true;
}
catch(Exception e) {System.out.println(e);}
return false;
}
I recorded the POST request:
POST / HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Authorization: (TOKEN CENSORED)
User-Agent: Java/1.8.0_171
Host: https://discordbots.org
Accept: text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Length: 20
{
server_count: 21
}
I assume I'm doing something wrong, but I'm not sure what
ah, it might be my Content-Type header
nope
soft drum
I think the content-type needs to be application/json and server_count needs double quotes around it
fast tapir
I changed the content type and it still doesn't work. I'll try the quotes now
didn't work
soft drum
Try the dbl java library then https://discordbots.org/api/docs#javalib
fast tapir
I can't get it to work, but I can look at their code
summer oracle
that lib is broken af, last i tried to use it
summer oracle
from what the code looks like it (or some parts of it) were never really working in the first place
arctic arch
@summer oracle do you code java?
summer oracle
I do but I cba to implement the full thing 
i also have my own kinda thing already that works with several lists
would have PRd already otherwise 😃
arctic arch
I see
bitter jay
how do you make a bot

you don't
arctic arch
@bitter jay #development
sudden rampart
@fast tapir that's invalid json
json requires quotes around the keys
also content-type should be application/json

Idk, I'm high on laughing gas rn

hello!
latent pebble
is it possible to do batch vote checks? my voting mechanism is cached and I want to see if they've voted within 24hours...
and dbl doesnt provide a timestamp so the only possible way I know right now is to check individually with the check endpoint.
sudden rampart

tardy mauve
anyone got a webhook URL Example in full, Thanks 😃
latent pebble
for me I just used this PHP script:
<?php
$headers = apache_request_headers();
if(isset($headers['Authorization'])){
if($headers['Authorization'] == "Auth 'password' thing"){
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents('php://input'), true);
$conn = new mysqli("127.0.0.1", "username", "password", "databasename");
if (!$conn->connect_error) {
$user = $data['user'];
$conn->query("INSERT INTO `voter`(`user_id`, `date`) VALUES ('$user', UTC_TIMESTAMP())");
$conn->close();
}
}
}
hosted it on:
https://somedomain.xyz/somepath/DBLvoteWebhook.php
and used the url where I hosted it on as the webhook url (obv. xd)
restive otter
anyone got suggested apis to use for game stats?
tardy mauve
@latent pebble
Not the best person for php, Could you explain what to change in your example 😃
latent pebble
you need the change the password to the "password" you set on DBL
then the mysql auth info
and the query
I just use this for MC server stats 🤔
tardy mauve
i set a password? 😂 when xD
latent pebble
wait I thought you knew more about DBL than me
tardy mauve
I know everything apart from the Webhook side of things. not really focused on it tbh.
latent pebble
this is on the bottom of the edit page of your bot
latent pebble
yeah
latent pebble
tardy mauve

latent pebble
well it just needs common sense xD
latent pebble
but webhooks are part of the API
tardy mauve

not webhook, the chat part
latent pebble
that'd make the topic irrelevant
tardy mauve
it was 4 replys xD
restive otter
How do I make a webhook send a message when they voted for my BOT? 😄
latent pebble
since I'm using a PHP webhook, i just add it to db, check the DB and the local voter cache of my bot, then get if a new voter gets added.... do stuff.
tardy mauve
http://bit.ly/2MUyvER
is this where the Webhook URL for the channel i want goes?
latent pebble
no that part is for inserting it into the MySQL DB
you do the bot stuff on the bot's side
vital elbow
Is there a way to check top upvoters per month?
Like storing who upvoted and make them on a leaderboard
narrow charm
Get the webhook into action, save the data you reviece from the webhook for a month into a DB, and at the end of the month check it.

@restive otter
make a webhook in discord, and send it to that webhook when webhook.on(vote) fires
restive otter
Oof, ok
restive otter
If someone is already voted for first time does DBL send request to webhook we define after first vote?
Like after 24h which user can vote again
Ah yes it does
@uncut crystal Is it against rules to have users vote every 24h?
uncut crystal
no
restive otter

hello, quick question. I doubt it, but is there any way for a webhook to be able to use emojis from other servers?
crimson adder
quick question: if i'll setup a webhook, it will send a message to a chanel when somebody votes the bot?
junior goblet
@crimson adder DBL webhooks aren't the same as Discord webhooks
unless you specifically configured it so your bot would send a message to a channel on a vote, it won't do that
@daring night what do you mean?
crimson adder
oh :C
daring night
@junior goblet When a user invoke the embed using a command, there is no problem. But when the bot sends a webhook notification about the same embed, emojis are messed up.
I guess it's because webhook is specific to a channel and can't see emojis from other servers unlike the actual bot
junior goblet
is this a Discord webhook?
daring night
the first image yes. The second one is a normal bot with commands
junior goblet
can you give me a bit more detail on what your bot does possibly? i was going to suggest that your bot sends the message to a pre-determined channel (through the bot account, not a webhook) but i don't know if this would be possible in your case
also, do you use the dblapi.js package?
daring night
It's a Java bot using Discord4J
junior goblet
ah okay
what i would recommend is to maybe make a HTTP server within your bot (or at least a HTTP server that can send messages to your bot) to which then the bot can send messages to a pre-determined channel
the HTTP server listens for the webhook, and once it receives it, it will send the message to the channel
does that make sense
daring night
Basically this is a bot for a video game called Geometry Dash. It has commands to get data from the game's servers (levels, users, etc), so for example when I do u?level XXX it will display info for the level named XXX, with an embed containing custom emojis.
The bot also has another major feature, which is sending notifications when an event happens in the game (new levels, etc). So when this kind of event happens, it will send a message to all servers that are "subscribed to event notifications" (server admins can choose a channel where notifications are sent), and the notification contains an embed of the level concerned by the event.
When I first developed the bot I didn't use webhooks at all, the bot was just reading the database to get the list of channels where to send the notification, and then the bot sends a message individually in each channel. The problem is that my bot is in 2500 servers, including ~1000 subscribed to notifications, and because of rate limits it's getting really slow to send notifications to all channels, and also causes CPU spikes on the VM where it's hosted (sometimes it even crashes completely). That's why I wanted to switch to webhooks so I could just send one request to each webhook of subscribed channels, and this way I could get rid of rate limits and save my system resources. But since webhook don't seem to support custom emojis, embeds in notification messages don't look good at all...
junior goblet
ah okay i see
so you originally did have it so the bot would send the message, but you switched to Discord webhooks
does the bot create a new webhook for each server it's in?
daring night
It checks for each channel if a webhook already exists, if not it creates one. If the bot doesn't have manage webhooks perms it will just ignore the channel
junior goblet
yeah, unfortunately webhooks don't have nitro features like normal bot applications so you wouldn't be able to use custom emoji
other solutions you could try is drawing to an image and posting the image, but you already mentioned that your CPU usage was high so that doesn't work well
can i just ask, in what ways were you hitting ratelimits on your bot? bots can post 5 messages a second per channel, so it doesn't make sense that it would hit the ratelimit that quickly
daring night
I don't know what's the ratelimit for sending one message to X channels. What I observe is that it's getting much slower as the bot joins more servers
I think I'll try again without webhooks because it might also be an optimization problem within my code
I'm believing that using webhooks would solve my performance issues, but it might not even be true
junior goblet
best of luck to you and the bot, hopefully you get the performance issues fixed
if you have any more questions or concerns don't hesitate to ask in #development

arctic flicker
I don't see a status field in the API, yet bot pages show an online status
How can I get that?
elfin solstice
you shouldn't need that since the bot is in here and you can get that from your lib via the id
arctic flicker
@elfin solstice I'm trying to use it outside of my bot's program
tidal burrow
you don't have to worry about the status, it's not related to api anyway
the status on the page updates whenever your bot changes it's own status
plain timber
i think he wants to access the status
ornate jacinth
going to post this again...
/bots/:id/check seems less-than ideal because it doesn't tell during which period that vote is valid
So you have no real way of distinguishing one vote from another
providing the timestamp at which the vote occurred is a good idea
elfin solstice
well for the exact date you should use the webhook anyway
since you can handle that yourself then (caching the date)

because you post shard count with the poast stats request
dusk osprey
@restive otter you should change all your authentication keys
pseudo plinth
Just looking at implementing the API for discordbots.org. It appears they don't have any verification as far as the count of servers that is sent up to the API. Is this known?
dusk osprey
not sure if they have any validation, but I guess when your manipulate the server number by intent it might be considered a violation of tos
elfin solstice
@pseudo plinth thats true but we monitor guild count updates and if there is something strange about the growth we reserve us to delete the bot from our page. So if someone is faking server count his bot will get deleted the first time and if he does it again he get banned from this server.
pseudo plinth
That is interesting and noted. Have you considered having the API send up the guild ids its apart of? That would be a lot more difficult to fake.
elfin solstice
yea but that would make the api way more complicated and for big bots would probaly overload the api
sudden rampart
that'd be really heavy on resource usage
sudden rampart
1.7 million
dusk osprey
damn
sudden rampart
which would be around 35MB in a single request
dusk osprey
just keep the server count and trust people...there is no point in faking the number...it doesnt make your bot in any way better

@sullen nymph It worked the first time but now it's no longer working so I'm assuming it only affects users that aren't first time voters

did you also remove the deprecated method of getting votes? 👀 or marked it as deprecated?

do you mean the one that gets the last 1000 users or wahtever
@elfin solstice
elfin solstice
yea
inner venture
Oh, didn't realize
elfin solstice
before it returned all users
inner venture
I'll mark it as deprecated
elfin solstice
not only last 1000
summer oracle
is that completely deprecated?
ive been using it as my backup way to notify users of upvotes when webhooks are down
elfin solstice
no but it won't work if you have more than 1k votes and to test if someone has voted you should use the new endpoint or webhooks
summer oracle
by doing diffs between the polls
elfin solstice
i guess you missed it, that endpoint is there since idk maybe 2 months

yeah missed it

I'm using the DBL-Java-Library and want to run some tests of posting my server count to my bot. However, I don't want to be accused of faking my server count. I didn't see any protocol for conducting tests. Am I missing something or am I fine doing this?
elfin solstice
no we dont have any protocol to test this see this https://i.imgur.com/pqEGq6V.png
we monitor it and see if something strange happens

Alright. I'm going to jump from like ~5 to around ~11k.

jesus
sand pumice
Well I have a debug bot that's in a few servers. So I'm going to test sending my server count with that. But then I'm going to push the update to my actual bot which has around that many servers
sand pumice
Awesome. Thank you!
ripe kernel
hey how do you test to make sure that your bot is actually posting it's server count i use the discord.js dbl api
sand pumice
I'd imagine you can look at the response or go check your bot's page on the site
ripe kernel
well either way it shows it's server count there.
sand pumice
But idk if the .js api lets you look at the site's responses
So you're probs good then 👍
elfin solstice
yes it does, it returns a Promise if you manuall post stats, for autoposting it will show logs if the response errored
ripe kernel
oh i'm dumb af
nvm i know why it isn't logging the post. I updated my bot and my local bot.js didn't have the api post request smh
sand pumice
So I had a comment about your "code of conduct" for your /votes endpoint. This is at least true for the Java library, but have you considered implementing a cache in your API libraries that keeps voters for 24 hours? That could dramatically reduce the number of hits you get.
elfin solstice
thats why we recommend using the webhook over the /votes endpoint
so you can have your own cache of people who voted
elfin solstice
shards start at 0

Just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

Does that solve the issue? It doesn't look like that has much to do with the header field being null

Did it fix the setStats(int,int,int) method throwing the NPE?
inner venture
Honestly, I'm not sure
It works by my tseting
Are you sure that the token you put in there wasnt null to begin with
sand pumice
Only a little, haha
It's because I'm using an abstract class and set some data members out of order
inner venture
ahh, okay
Here, I'll add some checks to the builder to make sure it isn't null when building
sand pumice
Saving future fools from their folly. Good call
inner venture
🙏
sand pumice
Alright, we got rid of the NPE! surprise surprise
inner venture
😂
sand pumice
So I'll go ahead and grab the latest commit once it's available and try it out.
inner venture
It should be available now
sand pumice
It looks like it ran. Looking at the website to see if it shows up there
Does it usually take a bit for the site to update?
sand pumice
Still nothing
inner venture
can i check?
sand pumice
Yeah, what info do you need?
sand pumice
inner venture
yeah im not seein any hahah
sand pumice
RIP
inner venture
hmm, you could check the callback
to see if its throwing an error
api.setStats(whatever).whenComplete((v, e) -> {
if(e != null) e.printStackTrace();
});```something like that
sand pumice
Sure, I'll give it a shot
inner venture
it might just not print anything at all
sand pumice
I'll put an else in there for good measure
sand pumice
I'm unfamiliar with Voids
inner venture
Don't worry about it
sand pumice
It hit my else
sand pumice
inner venture
If you pass over your creds to me I could give it a try
i promise i wont mess it up hahahhah
sand pumice
Hmmm, I think that'll be better as a last ditch effort
inner venture
Yeah
I understand
I got it to work on my end, though
Could you double check that the token and bot ID belong together
sand pumice
But you said the setStats works for you?
inner venture
yeah
sand pumice
What if you use setStats(int, int, int) and specify only one shard?
I initially did that
inner venture
let me tryerino
sand pumice
Ah, I got the order of the parameters wrong
So I said the total shards was 0
I hope I didn't mess something up internally on the site
inner venture
I'm having trouble getting that one to work as well @sand pumice
let me investigate
sand pumice
Alright, cool. I also tried the setStats(int) and that didn't work
but that was after I got the total shards wrong
inner venture
That one seems to work for me
sand pumice
Oh hey, I got setStats(int) to work
The bot id in the discordbots url is different from my bot's client id from Discord
sand pumice
lol how does that work?
inner venture
i didnt think your bot was that old hahahh
rn
discord uses the bot id for the client id
or the other way around
basically, theyre the sdame
but they used to be different when you made bots ages ago
sand pumice
Oh, so the bot's account has a different ID from the client ID
inner venture
yeah
the bots user ID and the bots client ID are differnet from old bots, basically
sand pumice
lol wow, that's a little silly. Took me for a ride
inner venture
yeah hahhaha
sand pumice
I think that means that my code won't work for newer bots
inner venture
How so?
sand pumice
Unless I include that data in a config file
So Discord4J has this DiscordClient object that keeps track of my client ID
However, it looks like I need the bot's user ID when building the DiscordBitListAPI
elfin solstice
shouldn't your lib have your ClientUser somewhere where you can get the id of that?
sand pumice
Let me check
Ah, yes I can
The setStats(int,int,int) didn't work with the correct id, so it's not just you
sand pumice
What's the issue?
inner venture
I had a parameter messed up
but it also kinda exposes a messed up thing with the error handling
so 🙏
elfin solstice
its quite easy, just setup a small webserver what accepts post requests and in there you handle the logic for your webhook to add it do cache, a database or something
sand pumice
Oh boy. Sounds like an adventure is unfolding. I'll be on the lookout for the next commit
inner venture
@sand pumice the issue is like a two second fix hahaha im just figuring out the best way to handle thsi
so im leaving it unfixed so i can test out if my error handling works okie doke
novel cape
I have no idea on how to do that
sand pumice
Gotcha
elfin solstice
then you want use google and do [Your choosen langauge here] http web server library tutorial
humble bison
I might make a tutorial or example for one using node.js
humble bison
ah
inner venture
hmm, maybe I should add webhook support for the java lib
@sand pumice Seems like I've fixed that now :)
sand pumice
Web hook stuff would be amazing!
Do you think you'd cash voters in the library or let the developer? I use a library called EHCache that is pretty robust. Pretty simple to use too
elfin solstice
we would let the dev do that, we just forward the response from the webhook to the dev himself
sand pumice
setStats(int,int,int) worked for me!
elfin solstice
the lib itself would never cache it itself
sand pumice
That makes sense
Hmmm, but if you do webhook stuff in the Java API, wouldn't that create an HTTP server for every bot process? So if a dev was running a bunch of instances on the same machine, it would spawn a bunch of servers
Thanks so much for the help, groovy! Super appreciate your time and patience for my folly
inner venture
@sand pumice Yeah, it would make a bunch of http servers. It's still up in the air thuogh. Thank you for helping me test out the rewrite hahaha 🙏
sand pumice
Sure thing! Thanks for making the API!

Been having a few issues binding my client to the dblposter
const dbl = require("dblposter");
const poster = new dbl(Auth.dbl_key);
//inside a client.once("ready");
poster.bind(client);
This throws:
RangeError: You need to provide a client to bind to, either in the constructor of dblposter or in the bind function!
Not sure what the issue is as I looked at #312614469819826177
actually. I suppose I'll take a look at dblapi.js

dblposter isn't supported by us

That's what I figured as the api page doesnt say to install it. I suppose it was my mistake to look at an old channel

(Assuming this is the right channel) Okay so, I've properly set up my webhook, it's up and running, I've even tested it on my own with curl and some "apitester" website to make sure it's usable. However, when I test the webhook in discordbots, nothing seems to be happening, the bot doesn't react (not even with some debug lines of code that print stuff to console when the post request is received). I'm not exactly sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or not, since nothing seems to be happening at all

Could you post the link you have in there @tacit forge ?
Remember it has to have the port included

Is the Get Bot's Last 1000 Votes endpoint considered deprecated?
elfin solstice
kinda since it won't work anymore if you have over 1k votes, you should use the check endpoint for votes instead or use webhook
inner venture
should i just remove it from the java lib honestly
elfin solstice
well the C# one marked it as deprecated
guess you could add and mark as deprecated or remove, what you like more
inner venture
yeah, but im rewriting the entire thing so breaking changes galore anyways
elfin solstice
yea remove then
inner venture
that simplifies my code a bit, hmm
thats the only place simple user objs are returned right?

kinda since it won't work anymore if you have over 1k votes
not true 🙃
or at least it doesnt fail in a hard way

Yo. Is there a way to check if user have voted for my bot using .net library?
elfin solstice
@summer oracle what do you mean "fail the had way"?
elfin solstice
summer oracle
and if i got upvote, the endpoint will include my vote after a few minutes
i did this on aki a few weeks back
when webhooks broke
elfin solstice
how much votes does it give you?
elfin solstice
oh maybe it discards old votes and include the new ones
summer oracle
yeah
thats what i figured
i didnt see the user vote check route lol
which im about to deploy now so i wont have to rely on the 1k endpoint hack when webhooks are borked

Why does dbl.getVotes() return me 1000 random votes
plain timber
Users can currently vote every 24 hours for each bot. The /votes endpoint for your bot (the one you use via getVotes) only indexes the last 1000 votes. Please implement the webhook instead if you plan to process over 1000 votes.

@plain timber my probmel is i get 999 random votes as my bot only has 1 vote on the page atm

I feel like I should use JS for this API, as .NET library very weak. it does not have .hasVoted(id) function, all it shows its all votes. even though it should return only amount of votes for day I entered, as a parameter, but it always returns all voters

After some intense google searches, I'm still not understanding why clicking test on the edit page doesn't do anything to my webhook.

I was using cloudflare at one point, but when I used curl on my PC it got in the way and didn't work, so I turned it off just to see if that would change anything. I tried http earlier today and it didn't make much of a difference (despite it working on my PC)

Can webhooks get a attribute to see if it is a weekend? I don't want to ping the weekend endpoint for every vote that comes in.

This is in no way shitting on how dbl did it. But wouldn't it make alot more sense to include whenever the vote counted double in the weebhook payload rather than making a whole endpoint just for the purpose of checking it?

The inconsistent naming in this API kinda bothers me, tbh

@cobalt ruin The naming inconsistencies within dbl are insnae
You literally just added a feature and named the same value two different things
or atleast, used two different naming schemes
in the REST api, is_weekend, in webhooks, isWeekend
plain timber
lol seriously
inner venture
Yes
summer oracle
inner venture
Even within the Bot object, 3 different naming schemes are present
plain timber
maybe each admin uses a different naming scheme or something

The actual bot object returned by DBL is also woefully different from the one in the documentation

@inner venture yes it's quite bad at the minute but we're going through a rewrite so all of this will be fixed

I'm not sure where to ask this question, but it sorta relates to the API and it's not in the FAQ. Do I need a website to get certified, or can my commands be documented on discordbots/a help command?
I saw someone get denied certification because of a poorly constructed website (or something along those lines)

@sand pumice Full documentation of commands, either in a help commands or external site.

so
if your help command shows EVERY command
like it should
then you're fine on that front
also #development is a better place
its not really related to the API

how are you sending a webhook

okay so you need to port forward as well
