just track the IPs that do it
#topgg-api
junior goblet
why not just introduce heavier ratelimits instead of auth tonk
and can you actually answer me
do you have me blocked
arctic arch
yes but IP bans arent effective so we're going deeper, because you need a bot for a token...
half delta
oh i get it
arctic arch
stricter ratelimits arent too helpful
restive otter
bot owners only 
sonic jacinth
also @arctic arch another question, can we publish a bot that will take cryptos as payment for services, but it will also have some free features / vote features
raven zinc
then again now people will just scrape instead of using the api
that like won't change anything 
arctic arch
@sonic jacinth off topic for #topgg-api
@raven zinc I dont see why that would happen?
glass maple
tonk
raven zinc
for the same reason they use the api in the first place?
dreamy agate
umm, nothing changes for the people that are using webhook to get their votes, correct?
junior goblet
because this api sucks so im making my own one 
is that allowed
is no scraping actually in the rules
plain timber
Tonkku will adding the auth token change anything related to ratelimits?
glass maple
same
solemn knot
How about that certifacation program, eh?
glass maple
ew it’s the dbm guy
solemn knot
ew luna
plain timber
@dreamy agate yeah those aren't api requests
arctic arch
@dreamy agate correct
@plain timber it wont
glass maple
Spookku
plain timber
So will it change anything at all for us?
arctic arch
us who?
safe spade
Before I give my judgement
If a bot token is refreshed, does the Discord websocket server automatically disconnect any bots using that token?
And if authorization headers are used for endpoints, would this mean a RESTful API would be added as a secondary option apart from using websockets?
glass maple
coz he dumb
plain timber
The announcement is for the dbl api
plain timber
Why would they announce something about the discord api here
safe spade
I mean, it would make sense to
arctic arch
glass maple
This isn’t an official discord server @safe spade
safe spade
Yeah I'm already in that
glass maple
well ask there
safe spade
Probably doesn't help that I'm still waking up so yeah just disregard my previous messages
restive otter
hmm
worn belfry
wary ether
I'm guessing the rates were too much to handle huh 😉
restive otter
when you say a valid authorization token is that something we already have from when we started our bots on the list?
arctic arch
yes
restive otter
ok cool thanks T
normal quail
oof token as in discord token or you guys are generating tokens for us to also store in our bots
im betting on #2
normal quail
k thanks lol
molten crystal
I was going to say. I don’t think they would want us to give them our token
I don’t think we’d want them to want that
normal quail
yeah major security issue
molten geyser
auth token basically just means they 100% confirm every api call is done by your bot and your bot only
normal quail
yeah were calls coming from other bots and flooding the server
no not flooding the server
drowning the api in requests
misty scroll
@arctic arch wdym by authorization token
arctic arch
the token you get from our api docs
cyan ruin
ay yo @arctic arch u betta not do that or me and my mandem will fok u right up ye we'll shank ya
bronze swift
Aye... what if you don’t use the discordbotlist api @arctic arch
cyan ruin
bruv
bronze swift
what
cyan ruin
u use it all the time just by visiting site ye
bronze swift
Whaaa
What do you even mean
There is a downloadable api which shows your server number thingy on @abstract moth @cyan ruin
i thought they meant that
bronze swift
The npm api budd
cyan ruin
yo i'm a sick dev ye i use foking node-superfetch
bronze swift
That doesn’t make any sense but okay
Oh well nvm there is the website api too
MAHHHH shh
cyan ruin
bronze swift
anyhow what do we do with the token
bronze swift
Auth header?
cyan ruin
bronze swift
Hmmm?
cyan ruin
do you use the official module or do you using something like snekfetch
bronze swift
OwO
cyan ruin
i see
bronze swift
I have no idea what you wven talking about really sorryyy
bronze swift
I don’t even use it really
bronze swift
take a quick nap xD
sudden rampart
if you dont use the api or just post server counts, you can safely ignore the announcement
nothing will change for you
bronze swift
That’s what i was asking “what if you don’t even use the api”
solemn knot
You know what'd be fun? Certification.
restive otter
Can someone run me through using dblpy to check who Upvotes my Bot (discord.py)?
Please I really need a quick guide on it...
Thanks..
DM me if so 😄
tiny nebula
Yeah how about we just write you your whole bot?
lucid vale
this API change is fine and i have no objections
lunar tide
does the announcement incloud webhooks
arctic arch
only the REST API
restive otter
so, /bots and /users are going to require a DBL token to use?
and you have to have a whitelisted bot on the site to get a token, correct?
arctic arch
correct
tidal burrow
what's the main reason behind it?
grand plaza
I guess they got to many requests.
lucid vale
because why would you want to call the API if your bot has no assiciation with dbl, i.e. being on the site
sudden rampart
@tidal burrow scraping
plain timber
Usually scraping means getting data from a non-api page
arctic arch
yeah thats what scraping is, just dont know a better word for api scraping
elfin solstice
thing is even tho you make the api token locked you still can api scrape it 
and even if you limit it to like idk 1 request a minute at this endpoints its only taking ~10 request to get all data
and if you completely remove it you can still scrape from the html site if you know how to parse it
arctic arch
we can track down malicious scrapers and ban them
cloudflare should have protection against html scraping, if it doesn't im gonna be angery
anyway its more effort to scrape the html
elfin solstice
you can't 100% block html scraping anyway
how do you wanna see the difference between a normal user and a bot?
if i slow my request speed to like 1 request / 2s down you won't be able to block it
and html scraping is still easy af in most langs
arctic arch
idk what cloudflare does but apparently it works so idk
elfin solstice
95% sure i would still be able to scrape it
literally copy/paste the headers browser send and you should be able to scrape, delay the request speed to a normal user speed and easy
sudden rampart
100% avoiding scrape isn't possible
but you can make it hard enough that most give up
elfin solstice
but i mean you said you wanna discontinue it without a token in 1 month you could still scrape it in the meantime
lucid vale
why do scrapers make you angery'
arctic arch
gotta give users a heads up tho
elfin solstice
there was one site scraping dbl and putting it on there own shop site
lucid vale
why in the fresh hell would you want to do that lul
lucid vale
like are we talking geocities level shit?

so i did console.log(req.body) and all i got was {}
Can some one help me?

hmm
valid authorization token?
is that just the token you're using has to be valid?
polar mirage
It just means you need a token to use the dbl api
For most people, nothing will change..

anyone know why its doing this https://i.imgur.com/O6J0De0.png

ah
shut ibex
thats what the urlenconded is

nobody care
tough stream
wait what does thonkuu mean to "require a valid authorization token" for every api request? doesn't the code need the token to check what account to retreive stuff from anyway?
shut ibex
every api request will require you to set an authorization header
plain timber
@tough stream most api endpoints dont need auth tokens currently
obtuse flicker
but your npm package for the lib will be updated right...

Um can anyone help me when I am trying to get it bot on my main account servers it keeps logging me into my alt accounts and I don't know how to change it to my main

change your token @still siren

@obtuse flicker yes, it will be updated

@still siren go to discord in your browser and log out, also this isn't the channel for that
storm zephyr
setInterval(function() {
console.log('Server count posted!', { type: "PLAYING"});
}, 1000)
})```is this thing exist?
smoky trench
that will make a new interval to log "server counted posted!" and the object {type:"PLAYING"} to console each time that event fires
pretty sure thats not what you want, what are you trying to do?
storm zephyr
oops
dbl.on('posted', () => {
setInterval(function() {
console.log('Server count posted!')
}, 1000)
})```this
@smoky trench i want dbl to automatically
update
the server count
smoky trench
that will still make a new interval each time the event is posted, each second it will log that message
that wont update the server count
storm zephyr
so how do i do that?
console.log("bot.on loaded");
console.log(`Connected in ${bot.guilds.size} servers`);
bot.user.setStatus('online')
setInterval(function() {
bot.user.setActivity(`?help | ${bot.guilds.size} Servers`, { type: "PLAYING"})
}, 1000)
});``` i do this for bot status but no idea for dbl api
elder anvil
The interval for changing your playing message is too high.
Set it to something like 300000ms (5 minutes)
storm zephyr
@elder anvil thats intentionally i will use that for now
did u mean the bot statu
s
elder anvil
yes
storm zephyr
or dbl api?
elder anvil
bot status
elder anvil
Um okay... you might get rate limited though
storm zephyr
setInterval(function() {
console.log('Server count posted!')
}, 1000)
})```but i want this dbl api
to refresh
server count automatically
elder anvil
Your problem there is that once the server count is posted, it says a log every 1 second
elder anvil
setInterval(() => {
dblClient.postStats(client.guilds.size);
}, 900000);
Rate limiting is where it stops you from sending requests to do stuff too quickly
storm zephyr
ohh
elder anvil
So Discord basically says: "woah hey there, you're trying to change your playing message too quickly"
elder anvil
well no, its just basically what happens
it will just stop you from sending requests for a few seconds
storm zephyr
oh now i understand
elder anvil
just don't make the timeout too quick
elder anvil
also you should add dblClient.postStats(client.guilds.size); as a seperate line in your bot's ready event
storm zephyr
So Discord basically says: "woah hey there, you're trying to change your playing message too quickly"
wait
elder anvil
that was an exaduration
elder anvil
what is your DBLClient defined as in your code?
elder anvil
const DBL = require('dblapi.js'); /* <-- Run npm install dblapi.js to install this if you haven't */
const dblClient = new DBL('Your DBL token')
i run that npm
elder anvil
Ok good.
just make sure you have dblClient.postStats(client.guilds.size); in your ready event so your bot posts the count to DBL when your bot starts, and not after the interval time. otherwise you'll be waiting too long.
arctic arch
you could just include client here const dblClient = new DBL('Your DBL token', client) and the module will handle it for you
storm zephyr
console.log("Server count posted!")
setInterval(() => {
dblClient.postStats(client.guilds.size);
}, 900000);
})```am i right?
i think im wrong
xD
elder anvil
You're gonna want that interval outside of the dbl.on('posted')
dbl.on('posted', () => {
console.log("Server count posted!")
});
setInterval(() => {
dblClient.postStats(client.guilds.size);
}, 900000);
like that ^
storm zephyr
console.log("Server count posted!")
})
setInterval(() => {
dblClient.postStats(client.guilds.size);
}, 900000);```oh u posted it
elder anvil
yes
elder anvil
@arctic arch What is the rate limit for DBL?
arctic arch
elder anvil
60000*
storm zephyr
ohh kk
elder anvil
6,000 = 6 seconds
storm zephyr
yea its fine
elder anvil
awesome
storm zephyr
thanks for helping me ❤

no problemo

Whenever I try to test my webhook from my bot's edit page, it never sends a request. Whenever I post to the endpoint I'm giving it, it works. What's wrong?
I would say that if you guys are using Node.js in the backend then their hardcoded list of ssl cert providers doesn't include Let's Encrypt X3.
And therefore it would never send the request because it's unauthorized.
restive otter
It would be nice if you could allow ALL providers except for maybe self-signed
(and for symantec)
Just adding let's encrypt to it doesn't solve it entirely
or find a newer list
oh wait my bad
hardcoded
😓
arctic arch
pretty sure letsencrypt works
primal owl
No, I'm saying that whenever they post to my url, that my url is using Let's Encrypt X3 ssl, and that if they are using Node.js in their backend, which they might not be, the hardcoded list does not include Let's Encrypt X3 so their request won't go through on their end.
arctic arch
I use letsencrypt so
restive otter
does the test webhook send client-side?
primal owl
no
primal owl
And no, I had to disable rejectUnauthorized on my https agent in Node.js to be able to send requests to my API because let's encrypt isn't in the hardcoded list.
primal owl
Doesn't seem to work whenever I test it, but whenever I post to it manually it does.
arctic arch
have you saved before testing
primal owl
Yes
No extra internet traffic comes to my API at all.
export async function DBLRoutes (app: Application) {
app.post('/api/dbl/webhook', (req, res) => {
const sentCode = req.get('Authorization')
if (sentCode !== code) {
res.statusCode = 401
return res.send('Unauthorized.')
}
console.log(req.body)
res.send('Done')
})
}```press test now
primal owl
Nothing
arctic arch
request failed with no response code
shut ibex
Do you need the port in the url
primal owl
Yes
shut ibex
primal owl
8000 is the port my api runs on
shut ibex
Yes but can you use nginx or Apache and stuff like that
primal owl
I can literally copy and paste that url into postman and it works
No, my API is run with node.js
And since apache runs on 80, I can't make it run on 80. Anyways, not my point. The port shouldn't be causing the problem.
(443)
arctic arch
I think
hold on
it might be invalid because of the port?
Error: unable to verify the first certificate
while mine works
yeah
when I remove the port the cert is valid
also
you route your port 8000 via apache's 80
that's why apache exists
primal owl
Either way, I'm wondering why the port invalidates it.
arctic arch
Node's handler might be fucked
while browsers have them more advanced
could be worth looking into filing an issue to the node repo
primal owl
Yeah maybe
Because an ssl cert covers all ports
Well redirecting ports wouldn't do much in this case, because you're still on port 8000
arctic arch
primal owl
Okay I'm obviously not very good with apache, so if you know something that I don't it would be much appreciated
primal owl

for anyone else that has my problem i guessis it possible for me to make my bot

plain timber
Yes, just run any code there where the console.log is

@plain timber like htis? dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => { console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`); dblClient.channels.get("498051419648163851").send(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`) });
tonkku help me
plain timber
Yeah assuming dblClient is your client
storm zephyr
what ${hook.hostname}${hook.port}{hook.path} this thing mean?
jolly leaf
Why when I point to https://discordbots.org/api/votes it returns me an error 404?
azure pollen
because there's nothing there?
jolly leaf
The /votes endpoint for your bot (the one you use via getVotes) only indexes the last 1000 votes. 🤔
Do I miss something?
storm zephyr
what ${hook.hostname}${hook.port}{hook.path} this thing mean?
azure pollen
it's self explanatory
that is the string where the webhook hostname, port and path is provided
azure pollen
duh
actually depends on what you're doing exactly
looks like that's automatically generated by dblapi.js so i don't think you need to change that at all
that's just confirmation that the webhook is listening, right @arctic arch ?
arctic arch
yeah its just information for your eyes
azure pollen
ez
storm zephyr
webhookPort: 5000, webhookAuth: 'password' }); what should i replace the password with how can i get the webhookauth
azure pollen
just generate some random password only you know ¯_(ツ)_/¯
storm zephyr
ok
console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`);
dblClient.channels.get("498051419648163851").send(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`)

are you sharding?

hello can anybody please explain to me how to use the api as all my bots have N/A on them

And @grizzled agate what language

plain timber
@grizzled agate https://discordbots.org/api/docs#jslib
plain timber
quick question about the API
if i send something for ex shards in one request
then i send something like server count in another request
will the second overwrite the first one or will it keep the data from both
humble bison
i think keep both
arctic arch
so you're sending {server_count:1337} and then {shards:[420, 69]}?
plain timber
yeah would that work
well
actually i was gonna send server_count then shard_count
im using internal sharding so i can just get client.guilds.size and client.ws.shards.length
arctic arch
the latter request replaces server_count with the sum of all shards
plain timber
what about shard_count
arctic arch
you need server_count in a request with shard_count
arctic arch
yes
plain timber
if i use dblapi.js should I use the poststats function and set shardid to null?
arctic arch
yes
plain timber
k looks like it works 👍🏾

What is the variable for the bot owner’s ID ?

Quick question if I am making a get request what do I put before this to get the request?
/bots/{bot.id}
summer osprey
Thanks
plain timber
@grizzled agate at the top of the file put something like console.log('DBL script running!') and start your bot, if it doesnt log that it means its not running that file and you need to make sure you're running it

I'm trying to connect Dbl API with my bot using python but I'm getting this error ````AtrributeError: module 'dbl' has no attribute 'Client'```
slate merlin
it's about the api 
summer osprey
maybe const dbl = require(“what ever the name of this package is called”)
topaz wyvern
no

and you have to write npm i dbl on node.js command
topaz wyvern
using official api
it would be
const DBL = require('dblapi /* iirc */');
const dbl = new DBL('token', client)```using js ofc

Is possible to do the vote thing using the api instead of the webhook?
sick egret
exactly, I want to do it with the api instead of doing all that webhook stuff
just wanted to know if it is possible
smoky trench
webhook stuff is for events, like adding a reward to someone when they vote. you'll want to use the api if you're checking if they can use a command, etc
sick egret
ok, then I must do the webhook, cause I want to send bot money on vote
smoky trench
okay, what language are you using?
you'll be able to use a lib that handles setting up webhooks for you
sick egret
javascript
sick egret
yes, but I leave port and password 5000 and "password"?
smoky trench
You'll need to change that according to your bot's setup, you'll also need to go into your bot's page and press edit to change webhook settings
set the url to your host's ip address and then the port (whatever you pick) and then set a password to verify requests
sick egret
but in url I must put the ip of the bot hosting, right?
sick egret
I put vps ip and console is returning me that is running on 0.0.0.0:5000
sick egret
any help?
restive otter
Why would you even be asking this in this channel, this is help with DBL's libraries not your Vps
restive otter
haha yes
restive otter
How do i use the member counting bot?
shut ibex
ask in the support server
restive otter
Is there a limit on how many times we can call the API?
restive otter
Hopefully I don't go over the limit
severe iron
make it so it does it when your bot joins a new guild
don't do it like every few seconds
restive otter
Mine does it every 30 minutes
severe iron
that should be fine
light crag
60 requests per minute
restive otter
ok good

runic ridge
I’ve got a question about the api
Do they mean the api key by token?
If no then where do I get the token from
I got the token
I get an error “unauthorized”
runic ridge
i did
main frigate
or use a lib for it
runic ridge
i am using the library they gave
def __init__(self, bot):
self.bot = bot
self.token = 'dbl_token' # set this to your DBL token
self.dblpy = dbl.Client(self.bot, self.token)
self.bot.loop.create_task(self.update_stats())
i am using what they provided
i added the bot's token in there
what else am i missing?
@weary ember
weary ember
u should be gud
runic ridge
I got the token from the bot
Where I go to the bot and click edit, all the way down I got the token.
weary ember
ngl it looks pretty short
runic ridge
Token not api key right?
weary ember
u put in the dbl api key
weary ember
https://discordbots.org/bot/<id>/edit go there scroll down to Api Options then the token area
eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjQyOTU3NzYwNjY0NDQ5ODQzMiIsImJvdCI6dHJ1ZSwiaWF0IjoxNTM5Nzc4MTc3fQ.2rwUc58yOv6pukzG4D0A0rgC7OlSWdbWPmiJIXvVfhE it should be around that long(this token is my bots old token kthx)
runic ridge
I have the token in
amber dune
did you copy it correctly
amber dune
are you sure the URL is right
amber dune
what
runic ridge
I installed dblpy library
runic ridge
Yes
I’m talking about dbl api
I installed dblpy and used tee code provided in the website
Using python -m pip install dblpy
The real problem is that I am getting an error but the stats is updating on the bot’s dbl profile
tidal finch
Well your work is done why care about error XD
restive otter
@runic ridge use aiohttp
runic ridge
@restive otter aiohttp vs requests
restive otter
Boi i hope your against reqd
Requests
aiohttp is asynchronous since that requests aren't @runic ridge

@arctic arch webhooks are down again i think, no votes, test request are comming through to my bot and i also tested on other bots

Why is every large codebase somewhat unstable.
plain timber
all codebases are somewhat unstable
restive otter
can anyone help me with bot development?
plain timber
@restive otter 1. #development 2. first you need to code, nobody here is gonna teach you how so go online and look up tutorials and stuff, and go to #development when you have a specific question
restive otter
@plain timber i wanna know which languages are used to develop Discord bots, unlike Telegram bots need Python or JSON
plain timber
https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/community-resources#libraries these are the discord api libs, you can look at the languages column on the right of the table
and #development please
restive otter
thanks mate @plain timber i hope if i need help i can ask here

Ask in #development

crude pumice
I don’t understand the api docs
Where is a good place to learn how to construct a bot?
I’ve looked at Discord.NET docs but is the lib official?
plain timber
@crude pumice you need to google coding tutorials and learn a coding language, then pick a lib and learn it. Nobody here will teach you how to code, but if you have any specific question go to #development as this is only for the DBL api.
and yes discord.net is a certified lib (https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/topics/community-resources#libraries)
plain timber
there are also libs for python and java and many other languages

Anybody have issues with Dank Memer bot joining a voice channel?

Is it okay to use UptimeRobot to check if the "online" keyword exists on the discordbots page to see if my bot is online?
I have no idea if I can set authorization headers in UptimeRobot so it can access the api every 5 minutes.
plain timber
i dont think uptimerobot can look for the text on a page
cant you make it check your server?
zenith marsh
@plain timber maybe, but i have multiple bots on one server
so itd be good to isolate each
like how u do with widgetbot (love your bot 😉)

hey @inner venture Not sure who to ask about this but https://discordbots.org/api/docs#mybots the generate/regenerate token buttons dont seem to work on ms edge. They work fine on chrome though
inner venture
@arctic arch
restive otter
seems to be due to the table:
<table class="exampleTable api_key_viewer" style="transition:0.2s; opacity: 1;">
that wraps around it

Why would you expect websites to work properly in edge

Because it's "so much faster than Chrome or Firefox!"

hye, in the request api JSON to gent bot info, how can i get a shard count from the bot?
i has see in the docs already but in JSON theres nothing
post a github issue @restive otter
there have been a few things missing recently since i think there were some api changes
so if something doesnt match the docs make an issue and it should get fixed
Where the github can i post the issue?
arctic arch
arctic arch
no u
restive otter
Then for now, can't get the shard count from the bot anymore?
arctic arch
yes you can
this is pokecord
it just depends on if they have posted shard count
hence the ? (marking that it might not always exist)
restive otter
in the website my bot have 2 shard total but in JSON request i can't see anything
