why is this in api

I am trying to post the server count to my bot from a test bot and getting a Forbidden (status code: 403) error, is this because I am using a different bot?
topaz wyvern
incorrect and/or no token provided iirc
restive otter
yes its because you are using a different bot
you post to a stats endpoint and the url includes the bots id
if it doesnt match your token
then it wont work
sudden rampart
you can just drop the id from the url

Question: When posting to the API, it is considered good practise to return a 204 instead of a 200.
Why is it returning a 200?
ocean patrol
return 204 if the request was successfull and you have nothing to reply back with

elfin solstice
well you can't really be 100% sure they post accurate data but you know when they extremly ovverrate the bot like when a bot with 2 commands has 50k servers they probaly wanna see proof and if they caught you get in big trouble
plain timber
@lilac summit you can use the dblapi.js library (https://discordbots.org/api/docs#jslib) or add a route to your webserver
tepid garden
but i wanted the daily to be auto without me having to check every minute
plain timber
@topaz wyvern webhooks are recommended, using the api to check for votes can lead to api spam and also you cant automatically give rewards
tepid garden
how do i use webhooks
topaz wyvern
Oh
tepid garden
how do i use webhooks?
copper vapor
^
plain timber
@tepid garden what language do you use for your bot
tepid garden
javascript
plain timber
you can use the dblapi.js library (https://discordbots.org/api/docs#jslib) or add a route to your webserver
tepid garden
do i need to install anything?
plain timber
on your computer or on your server
tepid garden
the computer and server
plain timber
if you haven't already installed dblapi.js through npm on your server, you'll have to
npm install dblapi.js
tepid garden
ok
so with this 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(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`); }); i would put it in the bot.on('message', message => {//stuff in there})
tepid garden
i want to make a daily command with it
plain timber
so when they use the command it will check if they voted?
tepid garden
yea
plain timber
then you would need to add an entry to your database when someone votes
and check it when someone uses the command
tepid garden
i dont have a data base π
plain timber
they you cant make a command use the webhooks
you could just use the check endpoint but thats not really recommended
tepid garden
well then how would i do it :b
how to i get my bots token
thats all i need to know
copper vapor
Your dbl token?
tepid garden
yea
copper vapor
Under api on the website click you bots and click create api token
tepid garden
how do i get the pass
i have 2 more questions how do i get the pass and do i put the dbl token in " "

@tepid garden the pass is only for webhooks, its whatever you set as the webhook auth in your edit page

Hello good sirs
const Eris = require('eris');
const bot = new Eris(CLIENT_TOKEN);
const DBL = require("dblapi.js");
const dbl = new DBL(DBLKEY, bot);
Will that work?
Can I use eris with dblapi?
If no one answers I'll asume yes
If it doesn't work I'll spank yall
arctic arch
that should work yes
pliant shell
dbl.on('posted', () => {
console.log('Server count posted!');
})
Is this posting automatically when bot is added to server? Or I need to setup an interval to do this even X hours?
arctic arch
if you have your bot client passed to the DBL constructor, the library will post automatically
That event will notify you of successful posts and is optional
pliant shell
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client();
const DBL = require("dblapi.js");
const dbl = new DBL('123123123', client);
// Optional events
dbl.on('posted', () => {
console.log('Server count posted!');
})
dbl.on('error', e => {
console.log(`Oops! ${e}`);
})
client.login('123123123');
I did like this, should be correct, right?
arctic arch
yes
civic harbor
what exactly is a webhook?
i just want to use the vote listener
can i just use any url, eg. my bot's website as the webhook url so i can get info within my bot to see whenever someone voted?
arctic arch
if you set up a listener in your website
plain timber
@civic harbor all you need to do is receive a POST request on the endpoint, if you are using JS you can use the official dblapi.js library and it will receive the requests for you
civic harbor
I am using js
and the npm package
i tried
const DBL = require('dblapi.js');
const dbl = new DBL(yourDBLTokenHere, { webhookPort: 5000, webhookAuth: 'password' });
dbl.webhook.on('ready', hook => {
console.log(`Webhook running at http://${hook.hostname}:${hook.port}${hook.path}`);
});
dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`);
});
and i replaced yourDBLTokenHere with my api key
however, i did not get anything when someone voted
plain timber
did you set the URL and auth in your bot's edit page?
plain timber
what did it console.log
plain timber
yes

oh okay

change that to the ip/domain of your server

do i just leave the port the same?

So, I got my bot approved earlier today, but when I try to post my server count I get a 403 forbidden error, and I'm not sure why. Anyone got any idea? (I'm using Python), and I basically copied the layout that is on the website (as a cog) and just pasted my API key (token) into the code
azure pollen
try regen
azure pollen
u don did a gooferino somewhere down the line
restive otter
but it looks fine π©
Well 403 is forbidden
Which means the server acknowledges your request but it rejects it
restive otter
It has been approved
could I get the API token otherwise?
I can't see what I could do wrong
restive otter
wouldn't rate limit be another type of exception anyways
not 403 forbidden
@azure pollen This doesn't look too goofed up does it?
restive otter
fek
restive otter
I'll dig some in the API wrapper then
see if I can find anything
lol ok
@azure pollen Ok, so I found the issue, and the "Python Library" example might want to be updated
restive otter
Alright
The reason for the 403 Forbidden error:
So, what happened was, when you initialize the dbl client, it will wait until the bot is done with setting up (in the dbl lib for python, there is a method waiting for this, before assigning the id), before it assigns the bots id to one of it's attributes (in the Python lib it's bot_id).
And while the client is waiting for this id, the code will continue, and the bot's loop will create the self.update_stats() task in the example, and try to post the server count, when the bot's id, and server count for that matter have not been registered yet.
So the reason for the error is because the bot_id value is None, when you try to make the POST request. So by just waiting for 30min it will actually work, but on startup you will get an error, unless you add a line of code in the update_stats() method
@arctic arch

restive otter
This was another question though
arctic arch
@restive otter did you just ping me with a solution
restive otter
Yes.
arctic arch
and the status comes from this server
restive otter
oh it does?
Yeah I gave you a brief explanation of the problem, and the solution
Dug around in the Python lib and found the flaw so, not sure if others have experienced it
sullen nymph
I am pretty sure dblpy already does that
arctic arch
ah the python lib is made by francis but idk if they're in this server anymore
restive otter
I tested it myself. When the first request was made, the bot_id didn't exist in the dbl client
because the bot wasn't done setting up
so if you try to post the server count before it is done setting up, there will be issues
aka the __ainit__ method
class Client:
def __init__(self, bot, token, **kwargs):
self.bot = bot
self.bot_id = None
self.loop = kwargs.get('loop') or bot.loop
self.http = HTTPClient(token, loop=self.loop, session=kwargs.get('session'))
self._is_closed = False
self.loop.create_task(self.__ainit__())
async def __ainit__(self):
await self.bot.wait_until_ready()
self.bot_id = self.bot.user.id```So here when you initialize the client, it will create a task (ainit) which won't finish until the bot is done registering all the guilds, members etc
sullen nymph
Ah right
restive otter
Just explaining what makes it not work as well as it could
as I assume, you see it too
restive otter
well, it can be solved either way by just entering the same line of code in the example that is on the API page
the await self.bot.wait_until_ready()
before the while loop

@jaunty depot
If I want to check if a specific member id have voted in the recent 24h, how do I use the /bots/{bot.id?}/check endpoint appropriately?
Is my bot? muted
because I realized the python lib doesn't support this feature, so I'm going to make my own
ok I might have figured it out
nvm me
plain timber
@winged star are you gonna use a we hook and store votes in a database or will you just check the API to see if they have voted
winged star
hmm
dbl.hasVoted("95579865788456960").then(voted => {
if (voted) console.log("Tonkku has voted!!!")
});
Here is the Tonkku's id
plain timber
Ok?
winged star
i can use ${message.author.id} ?
solid owl
no
plain timber
Yes
ripe linden
how frequently does the api post the server count?
restive otter
The python library didn't even have any method for checking if a single user has voted lmao
plain timber
@restive otter then just make a request to the api
restive otter
Yeah I already made my own custom class and inherited the original and created my own methods
it's fine 
plain timber
@ripe linden the api doesnt post anything, your bot makes requests to the api. If you are using a library for the api then you can probably set the interval but it may have a default, you should check the docs for that library
restive otter
that way I don't have to fuck around with the rate limiting etc
and just use the pre-existing request method
which should already handle those things

wary ether
it's an event, ask in #development I don't do d.py
humble bison
@wary ether what if your bot gets a guild every minute or more
every 3 minutes wont ratelimit you
wary ether
Then do it every hour or so. When I started I did it on guild join
humble bison
i post every 30 seconds
the lowest i'd be going is 15 or 30 seconds
1 hour is stupid
wary ether
why? You don't need to post your count every 30 seconds, what's the point?
wary ether
yeah 15-30 seconds is idiotic

And I have a VPS running so will it be possible to host a webhook with my VPS?, Thanks
polar mirage
use express
express app sir
app.post("/hook", function (req, res) {
And you can get them there

shut ibex
Why does express use app.post to anyways, it should be app.route
sudden rampart
to only handle post requests
restive otter
I code in Python... not JS
calm torrent
create a web server
polar mirage
just use js fqsgqgfqz
var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(express.static('public'));
app.get("/", function (req, res) {
res.send("tf u doing here")

app.post("/hook", function (req, res) {
if (req.headers.authorization !== process.env.WEBHOOKAUTH) return res.send({code: "invalid auth"})
var user_id = req.body.user;
var bot = req.body.bot;

dblapi.js has been updated to support the upcoming API change
terse nebula
Which is?
shut ibex
idk app.route makes more sense to me @sudden rampart
and you specify the type of the route
terse nebula
My thoughts: A darn good idea. You can trace back misbehaving API requests back to the people who generated them, and punish them accordingly.
shut ibex
You get it banned for spamming
restive otter
so im new to the api, and how do i setup webhooks? for things like Votes (btw i read the docs, but im confused)
plain timber
@restive otter you need to set up a webserver to handle requests, if you are using js then the dblapi.js does this for you
restive otter
does it really?
oof omg thats convenient
so what do i add to the Webhook URL in my bot settings?
plain timber
iirc the example logs the url to your console
but if it says 0.0.0.0 you need to change it to the ip or domain
restive otter
ty very much

hello i have a question how long does it take for the api to show on dbl ?
lunar tide
i think im being a fuck tard but question witch one is witch
i use: https://www.npmjs.com/package/dblapi.js
but i found: https://www.npmjs.com/package/dbl-api
witch one is the real one
lunar tide
ok good then
const DBL = require('dblapi.js');
const dbl = new DBL(yourDBLTokenHere, { webhookPort: PORT, webhookAuth: 'password' });
if you already put an webhook auth password do you need to change the code in any way for the new update?
plain timber
The API now needs your token to get data for a bot or user
lunar tide
you mean the webHookAuth?
lunar tide
OHH XD yourDBLTokenHere
plain timber
It doesn't affect webhooks or posting stats
lunar tide
ahh oki
plain timber
lunar tide
OHH so like
api.discordbots.org or whater the link is]
plain timber
Well dblapi.js handles it for you
lunar tide

hi tonkku

@arctic arch must i only use 1 part before the . in the api code ?

already have change it @arctic arch
i give up hay π’ i have change the token 5 times and it still give me that error π’
ripe linden

novel carbon
Why does the endpoint keep rejecting my POST request?

because of cache
take time to update
use a webhook
dont be a brainlet and use the api to check if a user voted
I don't know how to make my own webhook
there is a library
I've asked multiple times
top of your screen
huh
the channel topic
for this channel
in all caps
"API LIBRARIES AND DOCS FOUDN AT <link>"
the library has webhook
I know, but I code in Python and it doesnt say anything about webhooks in the Python docs
alright well best to get googling how to make a web server then
its a better option
omg...
python would work
i already explained why your way isnt working as you expect
yeah, takes time to update
shut ibex
@restive otter that endpoint if for the last 24 hours I think
restive otter
the voted like 23 minutes before.... @shut ibex
placid mist
It is possible that the webhook does not send to every vote? Because some votes are not compatibiliser. By my script that retrieves the votes ...
severe iron
compatibiliser? do you mean compatible? all the votes sent through webhooks are in json form so as long as you're able to use json, you should be fine
novel carbon
Does DBL use cookies?
shut ibex
yes
novel carbon
Hmm
Welp https://discordbots.org/api/bots/yourbotid/stats doesn't work
and
https://discordbots.org/api/bots/stats
does work
shut ibex
/stats without id isn't a thing afaik
shut ibex
if you can't use /stats you can post without /stats
novel carbon
If you send a POST request to it, trying to post ur server count, it'll work
restive otter
So, It seems that it takes a couple of minutes to actually detect if a user has voted, is this going to be fixed or is this staying the way it is?
As when users vote, they have to wait like 3 minutes before getting access to vote restricted commands
restive otter
hmm
humble bison
webhooks right?
restive otter
Would be cool if it was instant and yeah, webhooks
humble bison
alright
novel carbon
Why does the api keep on rejecting my POST request to the stats endpoint? My token is correct, and my bot's ID is correct.
It will not work!
If I try https://discordbots.org/api/bots/stats it gives a 400. If I try https://discordbots.org/api/bots/mybotid/stats it gives me a 403.
and yes I replaced mybotid with my bot's id.
I also made sure to include headers!
("Authorization","mytoken")
and yes, I read the docs.
plain timber
@novel carbon 403 means wrong token
plain timber
No it's not
novel carbon
I JUST copy/pasted it from the site.
plain timber
It's your DBL token not your discord token right
plain timber
You're sure it's the correct bot?
novel carbon
It worked. I figured it out.

help me using webhooks
https://discordbots.org/bot/:ID/edit my app

dbl webhooks arent compatible with discord webhooks
you will have to create your own webhook server
restive otter
whatever programming language you're using to make your bot probably has a webserver package/dependency/module you can use

nodejs
restive otter
then you can use the basic http server (require("http")) or express (npm i express and require("express"))
or any other webserver of your choosing

set your webhooks URL on your page as the IP and port your listening to

unique ruin
So for the webhook url
what do i use?
am kinda confused on that
as a discord webhook dont seem to work
restive otter
a url to your own webserver
unique ruin
port is frm what?
restive otter
the port your webserver is listening on
restive otter
unique ruin
ok
restive otter
if your server is listening on port 5000
restive otter
ok
then you should be able to use 80 (for unencrypted http) or 443 (for encrypted http/https)
which is the standard
unique ruin
what you recommend?
restive otter
probably get a certificate and use 443
unique ruin
mhm
restive otter
then if you make a website later people can access it without typing in a port
unique ruin
could i use a couldflare certificate?
unique ruin
what u using?
unique ruin
oh lol
restive otter
just not all the time
unique ruin
mhm thats confusing since i tried doing my ip in cloudflare and said enter a domain am prob just dumb tbh
restive otter
if the cloudflare certificate doesn't work, try using let's encrypt
oh for cloudflare you need a domain for which you can edit the nameservers
restive otter
if you plan on making a website at some point and want that sweet green padlock, use lets encrypt
otherwise port 80 should work fine
(note that you will have to start your bot with sudo or root permission if you want to use 80 or 443)
unique ruin
what node express no i dont think so
restive otter
ok
unique ruin
ok started my bot with that
restive otter
hello again
unique ruin
seems to work
unique ruin
yeh and port 80
unique ruin
what?
restive otter
what did you use to start it on port 80
restive otter
yeah
restive otter
is what right
if you mean the command yes, thats correct
but you need to edit the code to create a webserver that listens on port 80
restive otter
if you need help with the code to make one just ask in #topgg-api or #development
unique ruin
ok gotcha ty ma man
