[restive otter]

:(

[misty geode]

[restive otter]

i did

[misty geode]

one more time

[restive otter]

nothing

still

[misty geode]

???

lol

restart again

it should be port 3000

why is it 5000

i changed it too 3000

[restive otter]

nothing

[light crag]

@restive otter Do you understand POST requests?

[restive otter]

no

[light crag]

Read up on it. That is basically what a webhook is.

[misty geode]

i have no idea why its not working for you

sadly

[restive otter]

:(

[misty geode]

but @light crag why is the real vote not showing?

the test button works

it send the message

but if say my friend does it

it does not show

[light crag]

Show code.

[misty geode]

k

    dbl_web.on('ready', hook => {
        console.log(`Webhook running with path ${hook.path}`);
    });
    dbl_web.webhook.on('vote', vote => {    
        console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`);
    });
    app.get("/", (request, response) => {
        response.sendStatus(200);
    });
    server.listen(5000, () => {
        console.log('Listening');
    });

[light crag]

Interesting. If the test button works then the real vote should.

[misty geode]

const express = require('express');
const http = require('http');
const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
const dbl_web = new DBL('', { webhookAuth: 'upvote', webhookServer: server });

yea no idea why the real one not working

[restive otter]

mine does not work

at all

[misty geode]

test works perfect

@restive otter

https://glitch.com/edit/#!/plum-town?path=serverbutexpress.js:1:0

use that

the owner build it

try to copy and paste it

and see if it helps

[restive otter]

Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::3000

[elfin solstice]

seems like that port is already in use

[restive otter]

oh

so i cant use it :(

[elfin solstice]

or you just use another port

[restive otter]

dbl.webhook.on('ready', hook => {
  console.log(`Webhook running with path ${hook.path}`);
});
dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
  console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`);
});

app.get("/", (request, response) => {
  response.sendStatus(200);
});

setInterval(() => {
  http.get(`http://${process.env.PROJECT_DOMAIN}.glitch.me/`);
}, 280000);

 server.listen(5000, () => {
        console.log('Listening');
    });

[inner venture]

@elfin solstice glitch is stupid though

[elfin solstice]

i never said its good

[inner venture]

lmao

and you can only use 3000

[elfin solstice]

oh what

[inner venture]

because thats where the requests get sent to

it redirects incoming requests on port 80 to port 3000 on your server

[misty geode]

no you can use 5000

i been using 5000

[restive otter]

events.js:182

  throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

  ^

Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::3000

[misty geode]

also my rela votes working now

❤

put the port to 5000

[restive otter]

where

server.listen(3000, () => {
console.log('Listening');
});

that

[misty geode]

yes

change 3000

to 5000

[restive otter]

yea

done

[misty geode]

#topgg-api

[split haven]

Hi what are the ratelimits based on?

Is it by each token

[proud sphinx]

Probably

[split haven]

@arctic arch can you help

[arctic arch]

depends

[split haven]

@arctic arch my question is before, what are the ratelimits done by

[arctic arch]

its by ip

[split haven]

do you look for the forwarded for header

[arctic arch]

its done in cloudflare rn

[split haven]

ah

[arctic arch]

are you reaching the ratelimit?

[split haven]

i feel i will if it doesnt listen to x-forwarded-for

[arctic arch]

what do you mean 🤔

[split haven]

im writing a centralised api for all bot lists

so im passing the source ip i get as x-forwarded-for

but obviously my ip will be then making far more requests than the average user

[arctic arch]

so kinda like a proxy thing

[split haven]

yes

bot dev makes a single post request to post stats to all bot lists

i'll email cf to ask

[restive otter]

events.js:182

  throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event

  ^

Error: listen EADDRINUSE :::3000

i got this error while using vote api

using glitch

[arctic arch]

something is using the port 3000 already

you likely have the thing that keeps glitch running forever?

[restive otter]

yea

[arctic arch]

what does that look like

[restive otter]

Im using uptime robot

whoops

Webhook running with path /dblwebhook

Listening

it gets the webhook

but when i hit test nothing comes up

i changed port to 5000

still does not work

[arctic arch]

glitch only allows port 3000

[restive otter]

https://ethereal-powder.glitch.me:3000/dblwebhook

that doesnot work

[arctic arch]

try without :3000

[restive otter]

k

[arctic arch]

glitch forwards that to the correct port

[restive otter]

const express = require('express');
const http = require('http');

const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
const dbl = new DBL('', { webhookAuth: 'test', webhookServer: server });

dbl.webhook.on('ready', hook => {
  console.log(`Webhook running with path ${hook.path}`);
});
dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
  console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`);
});

app.get("/", (request, response) => {
  response.sendStatus(200);
});

setInterval(() => {
  http.get(`http://${process.env.PROJECT_DOMAIN}.glitch.me/`);
}, 280000);

server.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Listening');
});```

i used that

still does not work

https://ethereal-powder.glitch.me/dblwebhook

test

no errors

just does not vote

nvm

it worked

thank yyou

[formal sparrow]

if(dbl.isWeekend) {
message.channel.send(`hi`)
} else {
message.channel.send(`bye`)
}

I tried that and it says hi even now in weekdays

[sudden depot]

i do not think that dbl.isWeekend is a property

u can try
console.log(dbl.isWeekend)
i am sure it will say [Function]

[formal sparrow]

Yea it's function

Didn't think in that way

Saw this from docs

dbl.isWeekend(weekend => {
    if (weekend) {
 console.log("Woo! Multiplier time!")
} else {
console.log(`hi`)
}
});

That didn't work nothing was logged and in docs, it was with syntax error

dbl.isWeekend(.then(weekend => {
    if (weekend) console.log("Woo! Multiplier time!")
});

[arctic arch]

oh my thats a bad mistake

dbl.isWeekend().then(weekend => {
    if (weekend) console.log("Woo! Multiplier time!")
});

[formal sparrow]

Thanks this works

Btw fix in docs else everyone will make mistakes in that

[misty geode]

Ooofers

[native olive]

can i get some help with this, i am using discord.py async, no cogs

[plain timber]

wrong token

double check it

[native olive]

i did

it's correct

[plain timber]

afaik, thats the only reason you would get a 403

[inner venture]

403 is forbidden tho

401 is unauthorized

[arctic arch]

is it the token for the right bot?

[native olive]

Yes it is

[restive otter]

hmmm

[fast tapir]

I'm attempting to get information on my bot, but I keep getting this exception:
java.io.IOException: Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: https://discordbots.org/bots/461938818627665940
Code:

    public String getVotes() throws IOException{
        URL url = new URL("https://discordbots.org/bots/461938818627665940");
        URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
        conn.connect();
        BufferedReader buff = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
        String out = "";
        String line = null;
        while ((line = buff.readLine()) != null) {
            out = out + line;
        }
        System.out.println(out);
        String votes = out.split("\"points\":")[1].split("\n")[0]; //Because I'm too lazy to get/use a JSON lib
        if(votes.charAt(0) == ' ') {
            votes = votes.substring(1);
        }
        System.out.println(votes);
        return votes;
    }

[violet ingot]

are you sure the url is correct

I get error 404 not found if I go to that URL

[sullen nymph]

Isn't it bot/bot.id?

[clever rock]

is it possible that I'll do the counting of my server counts and just send the total shards and the total server count?

[sullen nymph]

iirc you can send shards count as well

[clever rock]

client.on('ready', () => {
    setInterval(() => {
        dbl.postStats(client.guilds.size, client.shards.Id, client.shards.total);
    }, 1800000);
});

since this code if ran, will send 12 requests since 12 shards will run the code so what I thought is

client.on('ready', () => {
    setInterval(() => {
        dbl.postStats(myServerCount, client.shards.total);
    }, 1800000);
});

this

then just have a process that sends that instead of shards sending it one by one

[arctic arch]

almost it, but you need to pass undefined to the ID spot dbl.postStats(myServerCount, undefined, client.shards.total);

[clever rock]

got it, thanks

[plain timber]

@fast tapir it looks like you're trying to access the bot page for users instead of the api

For the api use discordbots.org**/api**/bots/id

[fast tapir]

my bad XD

ty 👌

[lucid osprey]

DBL(token, [options], [client])
if I pass client from 'discord.io' library will it still work?

[arctic arch]

discord.io is not a supported library so it won't post stats automatically

[lucid osprey]

so I can't use DBL basically?

[arctic arch]

you can

the [] means optional

[lucid osprey]

okay I see
webhook is done in different way

so the amount of server is what I supposed to post myself, right?

[arctic arch]

yea

[lucid osprey]

okay it all seems pretty clear
thank you

[sudden depot]

dblapi.js is very wired

[lucid osprey]

so I need to set up a server to listen to incoming webhooks on certain port, right?

[lucid osprey]

nvm figured out

[crisp leaf]

What is https://discordbots.org/api/bots/votes meant to return when you provide no ID and an Authorization header?

[loud gulch]

votes for the bot

with the token

[crisp leaf]

Yeah but I got a response containing 700 users when my bot has 25/2 upvotes

[loud gulch]

happens to me too

i get a response with users who didnt vote for my bot

[crisp leaf]

Some of the users were duplicates so I assumed that it was just every upvote of every bot 🤔

[inner venture]

the endpoint is broken rn @crisp leaf @loud gulch

[loud gulch]

whats the reason of it being broken

also that means gonna have to use webhooks instead right?

[inner venture]

I think the preferred one is

the individual vote check

Or you can just use the /bots/{bot.id}/votes endpoint

i dont think that one isb roken

or if theyre technically the same

but yeah, individual vote checking is still on the table

[amber dune]

Any eta on when it will be fixed?

[inner venture]

No idea

[amber dune]

Rip

[tardy mauve]

Do i need to use API key to GET Weekender True /False? Or is it Public?

[inner venture]

public

[honest root]

you can check if it's Fri, sat or sun by UTC now

[cobalt ruin]

but what if we turn double voting off one weekend

[dawn fjord]

no turn it half way off for one weekend

1.75 voting

[lavish valve]

I get a different upvote count whether i'm on my profile or the bot's page https://xd.lol-sa.me/i/4q5xaf0e.png https://xd.lol-sa.me/i/4c9kde13.png

[plain timber]

there are 2 counts, total and monthly

[lavish valve]

oh right

[plain timber]

you can access both through the API, with points and monthlyPoints

monthly shows everywhere in the website but the profile page is rly outdated

[lavish valve]

alright thanks for the info

[hoary timber]

@smoky trench I chjecked https://github.com/DiscordBotList/DBL-Java-Library but - at least for me - is there no real explanation, how I would check for a "voteevent"
There's only one, that requires the ID of the user....

[smoky trench]

I haven't used the java library, nor am i great at java

i can take a look for you but i wont be of much help.

eh i dont think that library actually has webhooks premade.

[hoary timber]

obviously...

[smoky trench]

it's really not that difficult

just need to listen for requests through your app

[hoary timber]

mhm.... tells me nothing

<-- Noob right here

[arctic arch]

https://goo.gl/search/java+http+server

[smoky trench]

i was just about to do that

[inner venture]

@hoary timber easiest one to use is Spark

[hoary timber]

Spark?

[smoky trench]

again

google it

[inner venture]

http://sparkjava.com

Here

[hoary timber]

@smoky trench Thank you. But remember, that google doesn't just show THE ONE result I need... It shows hundreds

[smoky trench]

eh it was the first result when i googled "spark java"

[hoary timber]

I googled "spark"

[smoky trench]

using common sense, you'd append the language to the end or you would of course end up with unrelated search results

the computer isnt smart enough to know what you're thinking

but anyway, it's there and theres a lot of tutorials so you should be able to setup webhooks pretty easily.

[hoary timber]

So... If I understand it correctly, do I need to setup a get on startup, that f.e. listens to /votes on the VPS (which also hosts the site) and then peform actions, if that happens.
But what would I have to use, to get the values from the POST in the spark-api?

[proud sphinx]

What

You want to post or get

[hoary timber]

The webhook for votes gets send as POST.
I want to listen to those votes with the Spark-API. My question is now: Do I need to use get and what do I have to use, to get the values from that POST?

[proud sphinx]

You can listen to POST

Am confused

How can you get as post

[hoary timber]

http://sparkjava.com/documentation#routes

[proud sphinx]

Please say what do you want to do

No code involved

[hoary timber]

I want to listen for votes

according to the API-page are they performed as POST request

[proud sphinx]

you need to only listen to post requests then

Yes

[arctic arch]

if its a post request, why are you talking about get

[proud sphinx]

Spark is overkill

[hoary timber]

🤷

[proud sphinx]

Use OkHttp

[arctic arch]

...

[proud sphinx]

Oh wait

Springboot

I am stupid

[hoary timber]

*sigh*

That helps a noob like me absolutly nothing

[arctic arch]

instead of get, use post
ez

[hoary timber]

post "creates" something, according to the page (I still look at spark)

[proud sphinx]

@arctic arch but he needs to set up a server in Java

[arctic arch]

and they're using spark for that

and you dont have to create something

[arctic arch]

it's just this kind of standard what those would be used for on a website

[proud sphinx]

Whoops ok I am confused

@hoary timber yeah

[hoary timber]

You're not the only one @proud sphinx

[proud sphinx]

You can implement it how ever you want

You need to gather the request body

[arctic arch]

we're sending a post request, listen to that

[proud sphinx]

post("/votes", (req, res) -> {});

[hoary timber]

And I could put code there, to perform an action, right?
Just want to be sure...

[arctic arch]

yes

[proud sphinx]

req.queryParams() will give you the parameters

[arctic arch]

wrong

they're not query params, it's a json request body

req.body()

[proud sphinx]

Oh really

Then just params()

[hoary timber]

Looks like that post requires a return...

nvm. it was just the {}

[arctic arch]

I think you can just res.status(200) so it responds to the request with OK

[hoary timber]

Doesn't fix it

I always have "missing return statement", when using lambda with {}

[arctic arch]

just add a return

[hoary timber]

Doesn't work either

I hope return null; won't make issues

And I'm not 100% sure, how to get the different valiues.....

from the body... Never worked with such stuff

Wait. I did something like that before... with the API I use (it also returns JSON....)

I really lose my mind now on how annoying that is...

[inner venture]

@hoary timber do you still need help?

[next zodiac]

@restive otter cool ur here :)

[hoary timber]

@inner venture Yes.... I'm so confused right now

[sharp quarry]

How does one create a bot on mobile?

[inner venture]

Wrong channel

[next zodiac]

xD

[restive otter]

How would I post the server count with JS?

[light crag]

Either use the official library or POST the data yourself

[final vortex]

is there any way we can get an event that fires every time someone votes or will we have to check periodically?

[fast tapir]

webhooks are a thing

[light crag]

@final vortex use the official js lib

[tardy mauve]

Anyone fancy giving me a hand setting up the Webhook API so i can have a Webhook message Posted to X Channel when USER Votes

[plain timber]

@tardy mauve just receive the post request at the url you set in the edit page

[tardy mauve]

const DBL = require('dblapi.js');
const dbl = new DBL(yourDBLTokenHere, { webhookPort: 5000, webhookAuth: 'password' });
dbl.webhook.on('ready', hook => {
  console.log(`Webhook running at http://${hook.hostname}:${hook.port}${hook.path}`);
});
dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
  console.log(vote);
  // Do what you need to do
});```

could you fill this in with EXAMPLEs so i know what goes where. Rubbish at webhooks

[plain timber]

i never got webhooks working with dblapi.js so i just set up a route in express

[restive otter]

ok cool but he's asking help about the webhook with the lib

[formal sparrow]

See, I'm really annoyed of this http://prntscr.com/kfbqkp

It always to go 3 when it isn't

Like it says the real count sometimes and 3 many times

My code was ```js
dbl.on('posted', () => {
})

Can someone help?

[arctic arch]

have you been using it on a test bot?

[formal sparrow]

Um sorry for disturbing you

That's the issue

[restive otter]

.

[inner venture]

@arctic arch honestly ive done that same thing an embarassingly large amount of times

[uncut crystal]

using production api keys in development

[snow fiber]

I have it using the bot.user.id property so I can't do it on accident

The only thing I forgot was that it would still set the count in DB

So my site would show that

[lean wave]

i once forgot about my test bot, shut down my bot to apply an update and then restarted it. the test bot was the only bot on for about 10 or so hours because i went to bed after that

[restive otter]

c

[restive otter]

hi

whats the client of discord.js

in dbl.token and client

[dawn nymph]

helo

[static glen]

what

I'm new to this.

I need help.

Mental help too.

[plain timber]

@restive otter the client is when you do something like const client = new Discord.Client(), usually it would be client but some people name it bot. its just whatever is before = new Discord.Client()

[woeful grove]

@restive otter you can also use this library https://github.com/T0TProduction/BLAPI , which lets you post to every botlist there is for discord bots

[restive otter]

nice thx @woeful grove

[humble bison]

@woeful grove good job at self promotion there 👀 cool thing though

[jade cloak]

Haha

[woeful grove]

i think the self promotion was ok because he actually looked for smth like that

[humble bison]

it's fine, yeah

[inner venture]

I don't thnk that's really relevant to thsi channel

[livid moss]

Oh oops wrong channel 😅

[restive otter]

Am I able to link my bot after its been approved? if it does

[dawn fjord]

Wrong channel @restive otter

[digital narwhal]

what is api?

but what is api

[jaunty depot]

[digital narwhal]

can you help?

[jaunty depot]

It's something kinda their coding system for bots and stuff.

I guess.

[arctic arch]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_programming_interface

[knotty grail]

Fellas what do I enter for the webhook url on the dbl website

server ip or?

Im really struggling with making the webhook thing work

I assume since my hostname log is 0.0.0.0, I'd just need to enter the ip + port into the url

but that doesn't work

[arctic arch]

is the port open

[jaunty depot]

default port is 80

you don't have to type a port if it's default

[arctic arch]

by default you cant use port 80 so

[gritty axle]

I having a problem making the dblapi.js sending how many servers my bot is in my code:

const DBL = require("dblapi.js");
const dbl = new DBL(process.env.DBL, bot);
dbl.on("posted", () => {
    console.log(`Posted ${bot.guilds.size} servers to the DBL api!`)
  });

I've put the token in the env and it won't post and its displaying no error

[shut ibex]

did you wait 30 mins

the dblapi.js module posts every 30 mins

[gritty axle]

Its been a whole day 🤔

[shut ibex]

[gritty axle]

same

[jaunty depot]

just take the example code instead of this?

in the dbl documentation

[gritty axle]

Ill try that in a min just testing smthn

Alright testing it

[jaunty depot]

okay

[gritty axle]

Ok i did it there is not error and nothing being put in the console but ill wait 30mins to see 😛

[jaunty depot]

you can make the time lower for now?

just for test

[gritty axle]

Ahh never saw that on the docs ok i will

[jaunty depot]

👌🏻

that should work

[gritty axle]

Nope nothing we set it to 10000 (10 secs)

Wait

I think i know why brb

[jaunty depot]

lel okay

[gritty axle]

Fixed Tysm

[jaunty depot]

np 👌🏻

[restive otter]

is there any bots on here i can add

[jaunty depot]

there is a lot of them but i don't think it the place where you ask

[restive otter]

where do i find them

[jaunty depot]

you can find a lot of bots in discordbots.org

[tardy crater]

This isn't the channel to be discussing this.

[digital narwhal]

Is there an API for cleverbot

[restive otter]

yes but that's not what this channel is for

[digital narwhal]

Oh

[jaunty depot]

you can just remove the parts that you already have in your bot's main file

and add others

[eager bronze]

wym?

[wet crow]

I'm having problems trying to authorize my token

I got the format and the token but if I put in in the search bar on google it just searches up random stuff

Ping me if anybody responds I'm going to sleep

[severe iron]

why are you trying to Google it?

[inner venture]

which language are you using?

[grand blade]

@wet crow

[trim shuttle]

vote.user.addRole('Voter Role').catch(e => {

why does this not work

[jade cloak]

Error, code

[trim shuttle]

whats the correct way then

[arctic arch]

is vote the vote object you get from a webhook

[trim shuttle]

dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
console.log(vote)
return vote.user.addRole('Voter [11]')
client.channels.get("476158627791634433").send(The text)

});

thats what i have

[arctic arch]

vote.user is only the id of the user

[trim shuttle]

oh

[restive otter]

how

would i do it

im trying to the same

[wet crow]

@inner venture JavaScript

[loud gulch]

why are you googling your token

[wet crow]

Irdk

I don't even know where to put the Authorization: Token

[proud sphinx]

In a heaser

header

Called Authorization

[wet crow]

Let me find it

Can't find it

I'm on my phone right now

[wet crow]

Can someone help me?

[jaunty depot]

Yes?

[plain timber]

Starts 12am Friday and ends 12am Monday iirc

[wet crow]

Where do we put Authorization: TOKEN

[jaunty depot]

you mean your bot's dbl token?

[dawn fjord]

As a header I believe

[inner venture]

@wet crow just use the dblapi.js lib

[wet crow]

OK

[jade cloak]

What is the best way to send a User a message when after he voted? Using Java

[inner venture]

@jade cloak the java lib doesn't have support for webhooks atm, but I'd love to help you implement it if you'd like

[jade cloak]

Would be very nice since I've never done anything with webhooks :3

[inner venture]

Let's move to dms so I get notifications ^^

[wet crow]

Once i install dblapi.js where do i put Authorization: TOKEN?

[humble bison]

@wet crow read the docs for the lib

it clearly shows where to put it

[wet crow]

In the Http header I don't even know where the Http header is

[restive otter]

Hi

[plain timber]

@wet crow you don't use a http header if ur using dblapi.js

Just read the docs please

https://discordbots.org/api/docs#jslib

You put it in the new DBL()

[willow ruin]

What is the best way to close dbl client connections? When interrupt py script with Ctrl-C connections stay unclosed.

[willow ruin]

Can I use raw requests to API base url instead of using library?

[brittle iron]

yes of course, just don't forget the Authorization part

[gilded summit]

Why specify the shardID and shardCount in .postStats?

[restive otter]

What to do with the Auth Part

[gilded summit]

What auth part?

@restive otter What auth part?

[restive otter]

At they website

[gilded summit]

What?

[restive otter]

If U edit Ur bot

[gilded summit]

What tf are you talking about?

Anyway

What's the point?

And does this mean I have to run the function on every shard connect?

[restive otter]

Token and Webhook

I mean

[gilded summit]

Bruh

If you don't know how the API works, don't answer

Clearly you have 0 idea of what you're talking about

[restive otter]

I …

No comment

[brave pond]

shard id is for multiple processes, shardcount is for single process sharding

[gilded summit]

Uhh

[brave pond]

if your bot is split into multiple processes each instance cant see all servers so the site adds them up basically

so I think that you would have to run it on each shard

[gilded summit]

Ah

[brittle iron]

Also, someone knows how to listen webhook in java?

[inner venture]

@brittle iron The lib doesnt support webhooks atm but its pretty easy to set one up

Have you worked with webservers before?

[brittle iron]

Not really, only once with sockets

[inner venture]

Alright, Id reccomend spark

is pretty hecking easy to use

[brittle iron]

Ok thx

[inner venture]

http://sparkjava.com/

this is the website

[brittle iron]

Perfect thank you

[restive otter]

I was stuck on getting the Voting system working when I was running a bot on my PI. I have now upgraded to a Skysilk VPS. Already open ports. How would I configure this code to make it fit?

const DBL = require('dblapi.js');
const dbl = new DBL(yourDBLTokenHere, { webhookPort: 5000, webhookAuth: 'password' });
dbl.webhook.on('ready', hook => {
  console.log(`Webhook running at http://${hook.hostname}:${hook.port}${hook.path}`);
});
dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
  console.log(vote);
  // Do what you need to do
});

[jaunty depot]

Mine doesn't has port and password set, it just has dbl token

[prime shard]

I have more than 1000 votes a month, and to check if a user has voted I do https://discordbots.org/api/bots/467944868963024896/check?userId={user.id}"

should I have any problems with that?

[jaunty depot]

i don't do like that but maybe i'd work

[restive otter]

In the "API Options" section on bot edit page, when you edit the webhook URL and click "test", it sends to the original URL. To test the new URL you have to enter the new URL, save, edit again and then click test. Is this intended behaviour?

[gray root]

I'm wondering if the API for posting stats have changed. This used to work however my bot stats stopped incrementing for the last few days https://github.com/TitanEmbeds/Titan/blob/master/discordbot/titanembeds/poststats.py#L12

[full socket]

Anyone got a code snippet for a webhook implementation in C#?

[full socket]

Anyone? 😅

[willow ruin]

@prime shard Have you ever read API docs?

Individual User Id Voting Check for the past 24 hours.

Requires authentication.

Use this endpoint to see who have upvoted your bot in the past 24 hours. It is safe to use this even if you have over 1k votes.

GET/bots/{bot.id?}/check
Query String Params
Field     Type     Description
userId     Number     User id of the discord user
returns{voted: 1} or {voted: 0}

[hoary timber]

Quick API-question about webhooks:
No API-token is required for a bot to listen to webhooks, right? Or is it?

Because I'm thinking about a VoteListener-bot that listens for DBL-votes, so that people can give vote-rewards on their discord without the headache of setting up a votelistener in their bot...

[inner venture]

No token is required because you dont actually make any requests

However, DBL does allow you to provide a password/authorization token

separate from your normal one

that you can use to verify that the requests are coming from dbl and not some other sketchy person

[hoary timber]

kk

[restive otter]

groovy, any feedback about my question above about webhook test button?

[inner venture]

@restive otter Yeah, that seems pretty normal

[karmic veldt]

    let tde = bot.guilds.get("429995294542004225");
    let ch = tde.channels.get("471779437164101652");
    ch.send(`User <@${vote.user}> has just voted for Automator! Thanks for voting :smile:`)

})

Getting an error with that

._.

@arctic arch You helped me last time (sorry for ping) is there anyway you can help me with this?

[arctic arch]

whats the error

[karmic veldt]

TypeError: Cannot read property 'on' of undefined

const data = new DBL('TOKEN', {webPort: 5000, webAuth: 'accesstobot'});

Port 5000 is port forwarded

dblapi.js is installed

[arctic arch]

it's webhookPort and webhookAuth

[karmic veldt]

Oh

[arctic arch]

you forgot the hook 😛

[karmic veldt]

😂

Thanks

When I press test on the webhook page it does nothing

._.

Idk if I did something wrong

Orrrrr

How I am meant to test it

and what test does

😂

@arctic arch Sorry for double ping, can you see anything wrong?

Got no errors now but test doesnt do anything

[inner venture]

did you correctly set your webhook url on dbl

[karmic veldt]

Yeah

Like I made a webhook

Copied the URL

and put it onto there

Yeah

[inner venture]

are you running the bot at your house

[karmic veldt]

Nope Ubuntu

[inner venture]

or some other place where you would need to port foward

[karmic veldt]

Port Forwarded port 5000

[inner venture]

hm

[karmic veldt]

Yeah idk

[arctic arch]

have you saved

[restive otter]

You need to add /dblwebhook on the end of it

[karmic veldt]

Yup

The end of what?

The code?

[restive otter]

Your URL

[karmic veldt]

On DBL? I need to add that in

[restive otter]

Yes

[karmic veldt]

Where it says URL

add in /dblwebhook

[restive otter]

Yes

[karmic veldt]

Ok

[restive otter]

Then hopefully it will work

[karmic veldt]

What does "Test" do?

Send a test vote?

[loud gulch]

yea

[karmic veldt]

Still nothing then

:/

[restive otter]

What you hosting on?

[karmic veldt]

OVH

VPS

[restive otter]

Okay

[karmic veldt]

I used UFW to port forward 5000/TCP

[arctic arch]

got http:// in there?

[karmic veldt]

Where?

[arctic arch]

http:// ip:port/dblwebhook

[karmic veldt]

Where do you mean?

on the DBL website?

[arctic arch]

ye

[karmic veldt]

For URL I have

[restive otter]

oh lord

[karmic veldt]

._.

It said

Webhook URL

😂

OH WAIT

[restive otter]

😂

[karmic veldt]

I AM AN IDIOT

Omg

Thats so embarassing

UGH

PRETEND THAT DIDNT HAPPEN

[loud gulch]

is that what you put on the website

[karmic veldt]

Uh

So

URL looks like this

!!.!!.!!.!!:5000/dblwebhook

Except !! is the IP

@restive otter Is that right?

[restive otter]

Think so yeah

[karmic veldt]

Still not working

._.

[restive otter]

Idk lmfao, I used glitch for my vote thing anyway 😂

Then my main bot is run on Skysilk

[karmic veldt]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

@arctic arch This is right tho ._. right?

[inner venture]

that ip is definitely readable lmao

[karmic veldt]

Uh

Woops

😂

[inner venture]

lmao

[karmic veldt]

Is that right?

😂

Because I am really confused
😂

And "Test" still isnt working

[jaunty depot]

mine has /vote at the end instead of that

[karmic veldt]

Ok

Let me try that

Still

Nothing

🤦

I am so confuseddd

[arctic arch]

it doesn't look like it has http:// on it to me

[karmic veldt]

Omg

It didnt

Okay

That works

Ty

😂

[slim plaza]

How can I check if a user can vote

[inner venture]

Like, if its been 12 hours since their last vote?

[slim plaza]

Yes

[inner venture]

You could just called individual vote checking endpoint and then see if it says they've voted

if says they havent, they can vote

Which lang are you using?

[slim plaza]

Python

@inner venture And what can I do with the /check?userId=.. endpoint?

[thick marsh]

how to unban api ?

[uncut crystal]

Could you elaborate?

[thick marsh]

elaborate what ?

[uncut crystal]

your question

[thick marsh]

my VPS get ban on API and any bot here cant start bc have problem with connect to gateway

like get ban

but when i host it from my pc it work normal

now is elaborate ?

[brittle iron]

Maybe a problem of firewall

[thick marsh]

bot work half year without any error

one day stop respond and second one got down

and i cant run it

bc on start have gateway problem

[karmic veldt]

Ok well

It worked

for about 2 votes

and now

It won't work when my friend voted

._.

[brittle iron]

Seems that cloudflare has banned your ip

[inner venture]

That sounds like an issue with discord, no?

[eager bronze]

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const DBL = require("dblapi.js");

const bot = new Discord.Client({disableEveryone: true});
const dbl = new DBL(process.argv[2] || config.token);

bot.on("ready", async () => {
  console.log(`${bot.user.username} is online on ${bot.guilds.size} servers!`);
  bot.user.setActivity(`for ${bot.guilds.size} servers | ${config.prefix}help`);
  bot.user.setStatus("online");
  setInterval(() => {
    dbl.postStats(bot.guilds.size);
  }, 1800000);
});

dbl.on("posted", () => {
  console.log('Server count posted!');
})

dbl.on("error", err => {
 console.log(err);
 raven.captureException(err);
})
``` have I set it up correctly for posting my server count to DBL?

[arctic arch]

const dbl = new DBL(process.argv[2] || config.token); is that your bot token? It should be a DBL token

[thick marsh]

@brittle iron waht

how it can ban my host

and why

[arctic arch]

and those events are never going to do because you're posting manually, you'd get completion status using promises

[brittle iron]

how, as far as i know the gateway is protected by cloudflare. why idk

[thick marsh]

so only way is get new ip there ?

bc change host is not on my walet

i need wait 3 weeks 4 that

[brittle iron]

idk, but you should send a ticket to discord

[thick marsh]

and wait 2 days for bot respond

[eager bronze]

wait, how do I get my dbl token? @arctic arch

[brittle iron]

on the tbl website

clicking in the right corner on your name

then on your bot you click "edit"

[eager bronze]

mhm

[brittle iron]

last box is the API option where you can get the token

[eager bronze]

ahh

thanks man!

other than that, does the code look fine?

[brittle iron]

which code? 👀

[eager bronze]

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const DBL = require("dblapi.js");

const bot = new Discord.Client({disableEveryone: true});
const dbl = new DBL(process.argv[2] || config.token);

bot.on("ready", async () => {
  console.log(`${bot.user.username} is online on ${bot.guilds.size} servers!`);
  bot.user.setActivity(`for ${bot.guilds.size} servers | ${config.prefix}help`);
  bot.user.setStatus("online");
  setInterval(() => {
    dbl.postStats(bot.guilds.size);
  }, 1800000);
});

dbl.on("posted", () => {
  console.log('Server count posted!');
})

dbl.on("error", err => {
 console.log(err);
 raven.captureException(err);
})

forget about the process.argv[2] || config.token

[brittle iron]

idk, i'm not a js guy 😔

[eager bronze]

😦

alright well, thanks so much for helping me get my token

[karmic veldt]

I'm a JS dudeeee

What's up

[shut ibex]

Code looks fine to me

[eager bronze]

hi Sam, hi Jonas

[karmic veldt]

Hey

[eager bronze]

right uh, everything looks fine?

[karmic veldt]

Yeah

[eager bronze]

Awesome! Thanks man

[karmic veldt]

Try it and if anything is wrong get back to me

[brittle iron]

I personnaly update the server count when the bot enter/leave a server 👀

[eager bronze]

You're right

I have yet to even get the server count up first,

So putting it inside the ready event would put it up

[brittle iron]

yeah, also I have a little command to put em up whenever I want

[eager bronze]

nice

i'll see what I can do 😃

[brittle iron]

everything, you're a coder 😎

[eager bronze]

😏

its not supposed to update right away, right? @karmic veldt

[karmic veldt]

It updates after the setTimeout runs out

So it will wait the full time

Before doing it

[eager bronze]

right, figured

[karmic veldt]

It'll wait 30m like you specified first

Yup

[eager bronze]

mhm

[karmic veldt]

np

[eager bronze]

alright, I think I got it to work, lets just hope it updates once it finishes the timer

Thanks so much man!

[karmic veldt]

No problem! 😄 I had the same issues with this API for days

[eager bronze]

haha

[karmic veldt]

I put an actual webhook into the webhook part of the bot on the website

So

Haha

[eager bronze]

haha, rip

[karmic veldt]

Ikr

Its all good now tho haha

[eager bronze]

haha, thats good

welp, good luck to you sir!

[arctic arch]

cute

[thick marsh]

[hot karma]

[heavy owl]

hello new here ;p.. im looking in the website a robot for music, who dont leave the chat voice later the song finish... any can have suggestion?.. i use fredboat but sometimes that broken.. so i was looking for another.

[sterile scroll]

Rhythm not bad @heavy owl

[humble bison]

@heavy owl wrong channel, use #general. but tbh just use rhythm

[gilded summit]

Why send votes to a webhook instead of just from DBL itself?

[full socket]

I'm guessing because for big bots the payload would be massive

[plain timber]

Also you can instantly know when a user votes

And you can reward them

[kindred radish]

/bots/{bot.id?}/check is there a NON 24 check method?

or are you supposed to save it locally

[loud gulch]

you would need a webhook iirc

[kindred radish]

yep, Implemented it already

😄

[tawdry pine]

What response am I supposed to get from POST /bots/{id}/stats?

That's What I am getting rnjson {"shards":[]}

[arctic arch]

if everything's successful it should be {}

that looks like a GET request

[tawdry pine]

axios.post() 👀

hol up

what the heck

it's sending GET lol

[tawdry pine]

oh wow

I was sending the request to http:// instead of https://

[misty geode]

[lofty bluff]

Can I get help with JS?

[loud gulch]

if its not about the api it should be in #development

[restive otter]

Would someone mind explaining to me how to call the member function within in the on command function?

Heres an example of what I am doing

@client.command(pass_context=True)
async def login(ctx, email="None", member: discord.Member = None):
    author = ctx.message.author.id

    print(discord.Member.roles)

[inner venture]

#development 😊

[restive otter]

xd

JK lol! Thx

what.

Should I copy and paste my question to devolpment?

[inner venture]

yeah

[restive otter]

Okay thank u

[uncut crystal]

wrong channel, read the topic

[summer oracle]

does the response code matter, or does dbl absolutely not care about it?
as in, im thinking of just always returning a 403 or 404 (even when the request was legit) just to avoid of the endpoint/path getting crawled and indexed on some weird place

OR

is there a list of IPs / IP ranges that we can expect the dbl webhooks to come from so that we can whitelist the webhook endpoint for them?

and if the answer is no to both, are there any plans to change that? possible example: currently response codes are ignored, but there are plans for in the future to redeliver webhooks upon a non-2xx response.
I want to avoid breaking the api more than necessary for such cases 🙃

[jade cloak]

I dont think it matters :|

[arctic arch]

rn the response code doesn't matter

but we might introduce redelivery and error logging later

you should use the authorization to verify the request

[summer oracle]

true

i can return 2xx upon successful auth and not care about the rest

[restive otter]

How do you shard a bot?

oops

Just a question I'm gonna look dumb but just wondering, I'm getting a 401 error Just like wondering how do I autorize it? I used the correct token and such for linking the bot to the api to show the bot list or whatever but what else do I need to do LOL

p.s. mention me if you reply I don't have this unmuted and I'm a little busy lul

[inner venture]

@torpid iris How are you using the token? 401 is usually returned if there's no token iirc

[torpid iris]

the way the website tells me sorry for the late reply

I have the attention span of a 4 year old

Got distracted

Which language are you using, btw? @torpid iris

🤔

[torpid iris]

js

[inner venture]

Could I see a sample of how youre trying to use the api

@torpid iris

[torpid iris]

sures

(other stuffs)
const DBL = require("dblapi.js");
const dbl = new DBL('-web token-', client);

(event handler but no need for this)

// Optional events
dbl.on('posted', () => {
    console.log('Server count posted!');
})

dbl.on('error', e => {
    console.log(`Oops! ${e}`);
})```

@inner venture ^ just in case if you're like me and get distracted easily

[inner venture]

I am not able to use the votes API in my commands

[lunar tide]

on the webhook when the bot start and you go to the site ip thats showen in console from it would the site show anything or just this

this is whats in console: Webhook running at http://0.0.0.0:5657/dblwebhook but does not do anything on site or when you test it in the dbl edit

[inner venture]

0.0.0.0 just means that it will accept any requests that reach it

You should replace it with your machines actual ip

Loading it in browser shouldnt show naything, either

[lunar tide]

hmm ok makes more sence

[inner venture]

Because when you load it in browser, that would execute a GET request when the endpoint is only configured to receive POST requests

[lunar tide]

ahh yah i see it worked now!

[inner venture]

awesome 😊

glad it was an easy fix haha

[lunar tide]

one more question sir

[inner venture]

sure
