like everything loads just gives that error everytime after 30 mins
#topgg-api
restive otter
like do i need to open something to let it not forbid the domain or something
@arctic arch is there anything i should change on my end or is it something on the website i need to change
restive otter
yes everytime
restive otter
the bot or the dbl
ima go test
no i dont only one
wait lol i fixed it somehow#
my brain kicked in better
had to install dbl in to lib file in my bot not from the python3.5 site packages
timid parrot
zinc lintel
Ok, I'm still pretty confused on how to use the DBL Python API. Can I be show like an example.
sullen nymph
plain timber
there is
@zinc lintel there is a server count example here https://github.com/DiscordBotList/DBL-Python-Library#example
sand hazel
oh yeah @arctic arch api/docs#golib is still pointing to the old one
shut ibex
I shall delet

ive come back again about this error

Isnt that incorrect/no token provided?
restive otter
the token is there it works but it shows that error when i load the bot and then every 30 mins it shows some other error
sand hazel
it'll be helpful if you print the payload and the url endpoint
restive otter
i dont get what you mean show what like
sorry kinda new to putting api stuff on a bot
and that error up there is the only error i see
sand hazel
then print debug info
restive otter
humm i dont see that weird
sand hazel
what
restive otter
i dont see the debug info
sand hazel
your code where you passed the parameters

that ??
wait @sand hazel do i need to open a port
as i can do that
restive otter
the dbl or the discordapi file
if discordapi file that is in my cogs file
loaded in its own cog
plain timber
fyi 403 means wrong token
sand hazel
403 is forbidden
restive otter
this is wrong token btw
raise UnauthorizedDetected('Unauthorized (status code: 401): No TOKEN provided')
mine is a different error
should i test the api on my pc and see if it works
sand hazel
lmao it might be the library's issue
can you goto L189 in http.py and print the endpoint and the payload
sand hazel
it's most likely malformed request, so you'll need to add debug lines
restive otter
wait one sec lol ant even loaded the api
im dumb
nope i was wrong i should ive looked before i typed lol
ok ima go to that line you said
@sand hazel here
await self.request('POST', '{}/bots/{}/stats'.format(self.BASE, bot_id), json=payload)
thats on line 189
sand hazel
alright print the formatted endpoint and the payload
restive otter
... lost could you be able to ring me and help me over call as im getting lost
sand hazel
man I don't even use python 
restive otter
oh i see you use .go my bad
sand hazel
print '{}/bots/{}/stats'.format(self.BASE, bot_id)
print payload
prob want to redact payload part when you show other people
restive otter
am i adding the
print '{}/bots/{}/stats'.format(self.BASE, bot_id)
print payload
in the discordapi file
restive otter
that look good
topaz wyvern
what line
restive otter
24
topaz wyvern
and that line content is?
restive otter
print '{}/bots/{}/stats'.format(self.BASE, bot_id)
topaz wyvern
print()
sand hazel
i thought print alone also works 
topaz wyvern
print thing is 2.x syntax
restive otter
does it need "" not ''
restive otter
sand hazel
there's also an open issue regarding the forbidden error
use parenthesis with print
i forgot py3 is different
sand hazel
try
topaz wyvern

restive otter
print payload

why is it /bots/None/stats tho
sand hazel
looks like the library's fault
restive otter
should i change something
sand hazel
looks like it's None when the user isn't logged in?
plain timber
looks like its posting to None
plain timber
make a pr and fix it
sand hazel
do I look like I know python
restive otter
is it ok to use or should i disable for now
plain timber
you could try manually POSTing stats with aiohttp
topaz wyvern
^
restive otter
ive never messed with this stuff lol
plain timber
or just use https://pypi.org/project/discordlists.py
sand hazel
it's prob easier to do it yourself
restive otter
isnt that for some other discord list thing
plain timber
it works with all lists including DBL
restive otter
so all i need to do is install and bam should work
restive otter
ye
noble iron
^^ something like that
restive otter
im trash at adding this stuff lol
barren kelp
How do i tell that my bot can have a custom prefix on the website ?
sacred mango
-play sad
amber dune
shut ibex
could get banned
little harbor
restive otter
to some commands?
little harbor
uh wait wrong page hold on
little harbor
so you can use the /bots/{bot.id?}/votes endpoint if your bot has low upvotes, otherwise you have to use a webhook
restive otter
yea thats not working
little harbor
the endpoint?
little harbor
you send an API GET request to https://discordbots.org/api/bots/012345/votes and it'll respond with some json, can't remember exactly what it is but it's some array (with 012345 obviously being your bot's ID)
solid scarab
For some reason I can't post my guild count with the API using node.js. I copied the code from the docs
It won't even give me the error console log
topaz wyvern
did you wait 30 minutes?
storm shuttle
there might be instances where your bot isn't sharded and you also copied all the code including the code for shard size, try removing it if so
hexed glade
Where i can set my bot state to online with
dbl.on('posted', () => {
console.log('Server count posted!');

how can i fix this?

Ensure the user state exist before trying to post
It's None when the client is not logged in yet

how do i do that
restive otter
im not that good with coding so i dont understand 😅
restive otter
how long is that gonna take
sand hazel
¯_(ツ)_/¯

try Node.js
restive otter
i use python

just wait or you can create the payload yourself
aiohttp to the endpoint

you can create a server, then use that to test it, btw information about terrestrial objects, heavenly bodies, might be good feature for spacebots
nevermind, my discordapp lagged for a bit noticing that the problem was already solved

Hello some vote for my bot are not send on the webhook and it's all the time the same people who yet following a verification we vote well but it works for all other people I wonder where it can come
sand hazel
English
plain timber
@restive otter english only
restive otter
can I send the weebhook to a channel?
dawn fjord
what do you mean?
restive otter
like
dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
bot.channels.get('id').send(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`)
});
digital linden
How do I even make a webhook url and stuff
sand hazel
You deploy a http server
digital linden
like in glitch?
sand hazel
sure
digital linden
So i host on glitch
and
do I make another website that gets pinged if someone is on it?
then do somtin crazy
sand hazel
w h a t
digital linden
idk
plain timber
@digital linden do you use express
plain timber
you can either
- use dblapi.js and connect it to your express server, or
- just make a post route in express
plain timber
use the webhookServer option in dblapi.js
digital linden
?????
plain timber
digital linden
ok
plain timber
for example
const DBL = require('dblapi.js');
const dbl = new DBL(yourDBLTokenHere, { webhookServer: app, webhookAuth: 'password' });
dbl.webhook.on('ready', hook => {
console.log(`Webhook running at http://${hook.hostname}:${hook.port}${hook.path}`);
});
dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`);
});
assuming your server is app
then your webhook URL will be https://projectname.glitch.me/dblwebhook
plain timber
yw
plain timber
doesnt matter
digital linden
ok
plain timber
and dont mention random people
plain timber
actually its better to put your token in a different file
digital linden
ok
plain timber
like your .env file
plain timber
you dont need webhookPort
plain timber
you need webhookServer though
plain timber
i already said its your express server
digital linden
o
plain timber
if you have const app = express() then the webhookServer should be app

its not there anymore
wait
@plain timber it spams 🚘🌇 Your app is listening on port 3000
and Bot is online

what

what if you comment out the dbl code and put console.log(app)
so we can see what app is

ok
plain timber
you said the express code was in a different file right
digital linden
yea
but I copy and pasted in const express = require("express");
const app = express();
plain timber
no dont do that
plain timber
either put your dblapi.js code in the server file, or export app from the server file
digital linden
ok
plain timber
or just move the server code to the discordbots file and delete the server file
plain timber
delete the discordbots.js file
digital linden
ok
digital linden
ok
also what is an authorization
on the dbl
the Authorization
You can use this value to verify the requests are coming from us.
plain timber
just set webhookAuth to the same thing as Authorization in the edit page
plain timber
its to prevent someone else from pretending to be dbl and making fake votes
digital linden
I dont have a Authorization
plain timber
wdym
digital linden
like it just says abcdefghijklmnopqrstuv
plain timber
🤔
plain timber
Yes, you need to choose an authorization code
digital linden
how?
plain timber
Just pick something and type it into both the edit page and your code

restive otter
Is there any resources on how to work with the webhooks here?
I'm new to webhooks and I'm not sure how I'll make them work
and it doesn't seem to be any webhook features in the python lib 
restive otter
Yeah, things don't even run in the right order when posting in that lib, so I had to change some stuff
don't have anything to check the status if a member has voted within 24h by sending the user_id
so I had to add that too
restive otter
I've read some history in this chat, and I assume one way to do it could be creating a webhook URL in discord, for a channel in my support server, and have all the votes go to that channel, and then my bot just picks up and checks / rewards the user
plain timber
For webhooks, DBL will send a post request to the specified url with the vote data
restive otter
or maybe I'm wrong
plain timber
So you just need to receive the post request
arctic arch
it was maintained by francis
sand hazel
is he in here
arctic arch
tho I think they left the server
restive otter
Yeah I know is sends a post request with data
sand hazel
dem activity tho: https://github.com/FishyFing
arctic arch
@cobalt ruin wanna contact francis?
if he's leaving it unmaintained the position is open
sand hazel
It's mainly this issue: https://github.com/DiscordBotList/DBL-Python-Library/issues/5
There were several people in here that had this
sand hazel
phew, make a pr
restive otter
the thing is, there is only 1 line of code that fixes it
the example used on the github should be correct and working
sand hazel
do tell
restive otter
but the example on the website is not
sand hazel
o
restive otter
let me see if it's still the same
sand hazel
yeah it's different
restive otter
await self.bot.is_ready()
this line
should make the difference
By adding this line in the update_stats, it will work
the other differences doesn't have any impact
sand hazel
perhaps an internal check would be nice as well
restive otter
I did check around in the library when I was troubleshooting my issue
let me see what I wrote earlier
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
plain timber
BTW if you added some stuff you should make a pr
sand hazel
Yeah, so a propose an internal check for that attribute would be nice
restive otter
so it gets a 403 forbidden error, because the bot_id it was using in the request was None
Yeah maybe I should
do a pr
BUT. for the webhook question. Since discordbots will post a request to a specified url, what would be the best way for my bot to obtain that information in your opinion?
Can't say I've worked with endpoints, unless we're talking about a web server
restive otter
Well, I do store if a person have voted or not in a database
so the users can claim a reward
plain timber
Yeah use a web server
restive otter
I do run my website currently, using python backend, with Flask
plain timber
Yeah then add a post route
restive otter
so I guess I could create a endpoint and dump that data into my database
that my bot then grabs the data from
sand hazel
yeah
plain timber
@autumn falcon this channel is only for the DBL api -.- read the channel topic
autumn falcon
oh my bad i delete my msg
jolly sonnet
Is it just me or does sometimes the dblapi.js node module take forever to check if someone voted.
loud gulch
u
jolly sonnet
restive otter
it's node, so being slow is probably normal
placid mist
Why information change at each reload ?
arctic arch
because caching
pale topaz
I started using the hasVoted function
It takes more than 2 mins for new votes to register
Is this normal?
sand hazel
perhaps, use the webhook
pale topaz
Don’t wanna store extra data...
shut ibex
If you store into a db it won't have a major effect
pale topaz
I don’t really understand why it takes time tho
sand hazel
cache perhaps?
sand hazel
2 minutes is that long?
pale topaz
it depends on the usage ye
sand hazel
well, shit, I have news for you 
pale topaz
I have a command that I’ve blocked unless the user votes
shut ibex
I'm pretty sure it is Cache
sand hazel
webh00k
pale topaz
Webhook gaye
sand hazel
ur gaye
sand hazel
well hello
sand hazel
shut ibex
Then if they vote I update it
sand hazel
you can also create unique record for each user
pale topaz
How do I delete them after
sand hazel
then just update the count
shut ibex
Are you sure you're not high
sand hazel
delete them 
?
shut ibex
rm -rf / --no-preserve-root
pale topaz
Oh wait I haven’t explained how it is
sand hazel
for daily votes, it's kinda trivial
shut ibex
You can vote twice a day
pale topaz
My webhook is only in one shard file
Shard ID 0
Cause I’m dumb and don’t know how to code properly
shut ibex
Ok wait
sand hazel
you'll prob need to restore the timestamp of last voted, then just compare if the person voted today
pale topaz
Okay that’s a better idea
shut ibex
Webhook and Bot in one file is a nono
shut ibex
I use the timer in golang to reset
pale topaz
I award some tokens also
shut ibex
you don't have to
sand hazel
yeah there's no need for a task, you can just do simple comparison with last vote
sand hazel
if lastVote.difference() <= 24 hrs { user voted }
shut ibex
wdym
pale topaz
But still
shut ibex
I don't set the timer on the db
pale topaz
Don’t you agree hasVoted should much quicker
sand hazel
no
shut ibex
I make a timer for 24 hours and then after that I update the doc
sand hazel
seeing how rest of the site is cached, no
sand hazel
no cost > cost
shut ibex
Doesn't seem like a lot of stress on the db
shut ibex
So then how would I update the doc automatically after 24 hours
shut ibex
So when I receive a new vote I create a doc with the field hasVoted
it gets automatically set to true on the first vote
Then after 24 hours I set hasVoted to false
sand hazel
yeah I don't do that
I just update the lastVoted timestamp
no need to update docs every 24 hrs
shut ibex
It only gets updated after the vote ends or if they vote again
I would use timestamp but I want to dbl api to send timestamp
sand hazel
?
sudden rampart
just save current local time
shut ibex
It can be delayed
sudden rampart
on my experience, no
shut ibex
Not all the time tho
sand hazel
yeah it wouldn't make much difference
restive harness
with postStats() in js, the discord.js master branch features internal sharding meaning that the shardId can't be posted since only one instance of the bot is being created rather than one for each shard
so when i'm posting my bot's stats would i use .postStats(serverCount, null, shardCount) ?
arctic arch
@restive harness yes
sand hazel
websocketshard still have id?
restive harness
you can only get the shard id via guild.shardID or guild.shard.id iirc, so there is no client.shard.id
restive otter
Okay..
The API does not send the Upvote POST request to my server
But when I use check?userId it shows Voted : 1
restive otter
Is the markdown in the sites support like this?
humble bison
@restive otter try it and see
restive otter
Hmm okay
restive otter
Hey
I need some help with the DBL Api for my site
The goal is this
https://amidiscord.me is the site
keen saddle
JS
keen saddle
xD
restive otter
I was actually thinking about a brainfuck api
cause that makes sense
seriously tho
restive otter
netlify
keen saddle
runs node?
restive otter
no
keen saddle
oh oof
keen saddle
php
restive otter
I don't see a PHP Api on the site
keen saddle
so the api i supported by all languages
restive otter
How do I get the numbers
keen saddle
thats what i am trying to figure out
restive otter
ok, thanks
cobalt ruin
@restive otter GET https://discordbots.org/api/bots/432610292342587392, parse JSON, use server_count
restive otter
hold up wtf I have no idea what to do help
cobalt ruin
restive otter
10q
restive otter
wait so do I just make a php file orrrr....
I'm confused
I'm a noob at Apis if you can't tell already
keen saddle
Yeah, ive not done it in a while either
restive otter
I never have done it
Would doing the PHP thing require node?
cause my host is netlify (static site host)
sand hazel
PHP is PHP, it has no affiliation with node
sand hazel
Google search would've saved a ping
restive otter
true
sorry oily
But how do I get the user and guild count on my site
Guild and user count are not in the JSON....
actually guilds are
but they are severely outdated wtf
User count is not on there, so I guess I'll just do upvote count
Since it is on there
How do I parse the JSON and put it into the html doc
sand hazel
idk what you are talking about
restive otter
Okay so I got that part
But I just get undefined
var test = document.getElementById('test')
fetch('https://discordbots.org/api/bots/490852867171942410')
.then(function(response) {
console.log(response)
test.innerHTML = response.server_count
});```@keen saddle
keen saddle
ok
keen saddle
Use console on browser to test
sand hazel
Yeah he delayed it
restive otter
how should I get the token then
sand hazel
on your bot page
then again that'll be exposing your token to people
Which means this can only be processed from server-side
restive otter
Is there any way that I can do it on the site
What if I use my bot's VPS to generate a JSON
And then post it to some dummy domain
And then use my actual site to grab the data from the dummy domain JSON
Since the VPS server thing wouldn't expose the token
Would that work in theory
sand hazel
honestly just proxy the request
Run a proxy server, in which it will call to the endpoint with the token
Then users can call to the proxy server
restive otter
how would I do that
keen saddle
let res = await fetch('https://discordbots.org/api/bots/490852867171942410');
let out = await res.json();
out.tags;
Will be broken
keen saddle
?
restive otter
hm
sand hazel
daring garnet
PostBotStats { server_count: Single(0), shard_id: None, shard_count: None }
thread 'serenity client' panicked at 'called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: StatusError(400)
testing pls don ban jus using dev version, max iz 1 the server count and i get 400 when updating to zero
daring garnet
i mean i guess its in this server welp
humble bison
do webhook posts come in the req body or res body?
sand hazel
yeah
res is never the client's payload in http server
you always write to res
cause you are the responder
humble bison
okay

karmic latch
Can someone help me how to add the bot status thing to my website?
i dont understand that
the docs
plain timber
@karmic latch are you talking about the widget?
plain timber
@karmic latch it's just an image you can embed on your website; you can get code on your bot's edit page
karmic latch
yea but how would i embed that to my website 
plain timber
I said, you can get the code from your bot page, put that in your website code
It's just a simple image
karmic latch

Hello, I’m wanting to list who voted into a command, I’m using Discord.JS, and be able to post each time a vote has come through into a channel, but most importantly I need help posting my server count to DBL, can some please help me, thanks 😃
restive otter
Discord.js
normal berry
is this a place where i can suggest stuff for the API because I have one suggestion
I want rich presense in discord.js
sand hazel
suggest 
lmao
out
this api channel is for dbl, and nor will djs ever support rich presence on bot, because discord doesn't expose that to bot users
plain timber
Lmao
sand hazel
in other word, impossible
normal berry
i could maybe work around it...
plain timber
Discord doesn't support rich presence for bots simple
plain timber
Also as fishy said this is for the DBL API not discord.js
normal berry
I could just packet analyze rich presence for my user, then change the variables for my bot and boom, rich presence
plain timber
Dude it won't work
sand hazel
wow, what a cool kid, sending payload that discord won't take
arctic arch
except discord will reject that
indigo shoal
What don't you understand in the fact that it isn't supported
arctic arch
and this is not for #topgg-api
plain timber
We've told him
arctic arch
this channel is about the discordbots.org api, not discord's api
plain timber
Fishy and I already told him lol
arctic arch
stop
arctic arch
move to #general or #development

@inner venture
restive otter
Spotify Api?
copper iron
ok
so i'm trying to post the guilds amount while sharding
but i can only pass the client
anyway i can pass the guilds manually
normal berry
How do you get the discordbots API token for a bot?
I think i should jump ahead and add support for it
arctic arch
your bot needs to be approved first
normal berry
welp, that puts a hitch in future proofing
sand hazel
understandable
chrome canyon
{"code": 0, "message": "401: Unauthorized"} :c
plain timber
@copper iron what discord and DBL lib?
plain timber
Internal or external sharding
It is supposed to get the data from the client 🤔
So there shouldn't be an issue
chrome canyon
why.
chrome canyon
oof
copper iron
and i just got more cores so yeah
plain timber
Any error?

wrong channel
glad bolt
@plain timber yes, I'm aware of this channel lolz
sand hazel
@proven lichen your best bet is to setup webhook if you want to know when
topaz wyvern
err so what do u need help with lol
glad bolt
Essentially, I'm having issues setting up the webhook, using the example code on the docs as a basis for things. There's simply not enough data to go off of, on response object data, etc.
In addition, I have to wait until I can vote for my own bot again, in order to change any code issues...
topaz wyvern
o I've never done webhook
topaz wyvern
yea ^
glad bolt
Oh, there is?
plain timber
Also the json body is in the docs
topaz wyvern
mhm
glad bolt
Where might I find that test button? I didn't see it.
glad bolt
Oh, awesome. Okay, I'll def be using that. I might be able to get that working then.
plain timber
serverhound or alertbot
glad bolt
alertbot
Once I get this working in AB I'll see if they want me to add it to SH as well ofc
sand hazel
There's also doc for the response object
glad bolt
Okay so I do actually need help here
I'm using the code from the docs:
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 it starts 'listening' supposedly as I get this in the console:
Webhook running at http://0.0.0.0:5000/dblwebhook
And I have the port forwarded properly to the server, and it has the URL in the webhook setup on the bot settings: https://alertbot.services:5000
What am I doing wrong? lolz
(obv with my token in the place where it goes)
When I press the test button, I get nothing in the console window
sand hazel
i can't even reach that site
glad bolt
hmm
plain timber
Iirc you might need to press save then test
glad bolt
I did
glad bolt
...postman?
restive otter
What happen, my bot have more votes but in position 2 at new bot 👀
nvm
forget it
blazing badge
lmao lol
median cairn
The client option is for when an event is fired, it'll execute the webhook?
const dbl = new DBL('Your discordbots.org token', client);
plain timber
@median cairn no, client is for automatic server count posting
median cairn
oh
plain timber
For webhooks you'll need to add the object with the webhook settings
blazing badge
umm @plain timber why did u mention me?
plain timber
Sorry wrong person
median cairn
o k
copper iron
Will it automatically work with sharding?
restive otter
const dbl = require("dblapi.js");
dbl.hasVoted(message.author.id).then(voted => {if(voted == 1) {var hasVoted = "true"} else {var hasVoted = "false"}});
console.log(hasVoted)
Seems to return dbl.hasVoted is not a function, anyone know?
topaz wyvern
Are you actually accessing the API?
restive otter
Yea
topaz wyvern
It seems to me you are just requiring the lib
restive otter
wait wut?
topaz wyvern
sigh
shut ibex
making a webserver is easy 👀
urban pawn
