azure pollen
are you both having the same issue?
junior cloud
yes
azure pollen
okay hold
deep bay
yes
azure pollen
CC @arctic arch are we having issues with webhooks?
jolly hornet
also you missed a semicolon on line 37 @deep bay
deep bay
that's needed?
junior cloud
no
jolly hornet
No
junior cloud
but it makes it prettier
deep bay
i'll add that, just for you
jolly hornet
And consistent
dense basalt
I'm using a webserver to process votes. But it works for me.
azure pollen
the most pointless chatter
chrome canyon
I would confirm webhooks working or nah but that'd require to get a second bot approved 
arctic arch
webhooks work
junior cloud
hm
dense basalt
Are you sure that your URL and Authorisation are filled in correctly?
deep bay
yes
dense basalt
And that you are using the same in your code
deep bay
i wrote the webhook url that i created
dense basalt
@chrome canyon shush
deep bay
yes...
junior cloud
00f
dense basalt
Do you have a webserver for it
dense basalt
Because DBL is self does not send that in Discord webhooks format
deep bay
ah
junior cloud
b
deep bay
then when you press the test button in the screenshot, what's it supposed to do?
deep bay
yeah but define test
junior cloud
brainpower 100
deep bay
does it run the stuff in the vote event?
junior cloud
its sending a post request Ig
deep bay
it's still not emitting the vote event
@azure pollen do you have any idea why?
apologies for the ping
azure pollen
im busy now ask a mod ¯_(ツ)_/¯
deep bay
okay np
chrome canyon
@azure pollen if you make me a mod I'll reply as a mod
nimble heart
chrome canyon
no
chrome canyon
the highest role is tonkku above all else
the highest actual useful role is Web Admin
the most op role is op af
but that's not fitting for this channel
deep bay
i'll just disband vote rewards for now, thanks for all the previous help
have a great day
spiral steeple
the url cant be a discord webhook
spiral steeple
it doesnt work like that
deep bay
its not a discord webhook anymore
this site, i scrolled all the way down to the API Options
worn quail
@restive otter it has to be a webhook made not using discord
eg googling "free webhook" should work
restive otter
deep bay
i searched that and went on the first one, and its accepting requests when i use the test button
worn quail
^
deep bay
but i dont get what to do next
restive otter
lmao
chrome canyon
Okay so
A normal webserver works the following
You send it a GET request and it returns usually html
if you submit a form, you send a POST with the form data, and the web server handles that data
A webhook only accepts the second type
So basically you hook up a webserver like express
And process all requests
deep bay
damn, didnt know vote rewards was so complex
chrome canyon
It really isn't
deep bay
i think ill just not have vote rewards
deep bay
d.js
restive otter
const dbl = new DBL(yourDBLTokenHere, { webhookPort
i replace "yourdbltokenhere" with the bot token from https://discordbots.org/api/docs#mybots correct guys ?
chrome canyon
Yes
chrome canyon
Should I write a dependencyless webhook module for dbl
dense basalt
yes
chrome canyon
@dense basalt do you have a node bot with eval
chrome canyon
Can you eval require('os').networkInterfaces().eth0[0].address
dense basalt
I can just host it on my pc, brb
hearty dagger
I got you
chrome canyon
It works on GalaxyGate
I just need some more coverage before putting it into a module
dense basalt
Yeah it gives my actual VPS's IP
chrome canyon
Host?
dense basalt
the IP of my server
chrome canyon
nono
restive otter
im abit confused on that area, what is it asking me to put ?
dense basalt
and 800 to go
chrome canyon
nah I need like 5 working hosts
dense basalt
A password you come up with to verify it's you
chrome canyon
nice
dense basalt
I think I'm save
chrome canyon
same
hearty dagger
Infinity years
chrome canyon
but yeah so
hearty dagger
Nice
chrome canyon
probably on all kvm servers
require('os').networkInterfaces().eth0[0].address gives ext ip
good enough ig
chrome canyon
on windows hahayes http://very.verylegit.link/SCKM,+.4Wbjj9K424iphone!pcmonitor.apk.json.exe
deep bay
ravy that gives an ip address lol
deep bay
yeh its the same
hearty dagger
I have it installed
chrome canyon
can ya run require('os').networkInterfaces() and tell me which of those could give a possible external IPv4 (not 192.x)
for me it's called 'vEthernet (Default Switch)'
hearty dagger
Lemme just boot up
chrome canyon
ty because uh
I'm tryna auto-generate the webhook url
and that requires ext ip usually
dense basalt
@chrome canyon Linux for vps, macos for pc
chrome canyon
ok can you run the same thing on mac
require('os').networkInterfaces()
and see which one is an ext ip
dense basalt
I'm out for dinner now 
dense basalt
Probably in 3 hours imo
chrome canyon
because I'd love to not need to make an external request to get the public ip
hearty dagger
I don't get an external ipv4
chrome canyon
what interfaces do you get?
hearty dagger
Ethernet and "Loopback Pseudo-Interface 1"
chrome canyon
are you sure Ethernet doesn't have a public ip in any of the address fields?
dense basalt
Do you want me to run anything on Linux since I can do that from my phone
chrome canyon
but yeah it should be able to autodetect some stuff
same procedure :p
require('os').networkInterfaces()
dense basalt
Aight, one sec
chrome canyon
and see which ones could potentially give ipv4
dense basalt
On console or what
runic grove
enter a node repl first, assuming tahts node
dense basalt
I'm on Mobile so this shit is gay to do
shut ibex
@chrome canyon do you still need it
chrome canyon
What?
shut ibex
the require('os') shit
chrome canyon
yes
As much testing as possible
Because that can be used to auto generate the webhook url
dense basalt
@chrome canyon Linux:
Running require('os').networkInterfaces() gives me 2 IPv4s
MacOs:
Running require('os').networkInterfaces() gives me 2 IPv4s and 4 IPv6s
And you're qt
chrome canyon
@dense basalt which interfaces give you the external ips?
like
the actual ones
not 192.x
dense basalt
What do you mean, I only get address, netmask, family, mac, internal and cidr
arctic arch
you dont get your public ip that way
chrome canyon
yes you do
dense basalt
arctic arch
you'll only get a private internal ip
chrome canyon
on linux it's eth0
on both my VPS' it's set in eth0
@dense basalt can you check eth0/address against your public ip
dense basalt
Linux: eth0 gives my VPS's IP and lo gives me public Ip I guess
chrome canyon
lo is loopback
arctic arch
fine keep going if you want to waste your time
dense basalt
Not sure what my mac's IP is
chrome canyon
os.networkInterfaces().eth0[0].address is 99% your external IP on a VPS
chrome canyon
well yeah
because mac
which interfaces you got there?
also your device does know it's public IP otherwise hostname -I would be bork
so you're able to get it in node
dense basalt
lo0, en0, awdl0 and utun0
arctic arch
all I get is internal ip
chrome canyon
on?
arctic arch
literally any machine I've ever used lmao
chrome canyon
heh
well if I eval it, I get my public IP
on wsl, ubuntu, and arch.
and across two different virtualization thingies so far
so I'm pretty confident
arctic arch
both GCP and DO VPSes give internal IPs as well
chrome canyon
also this is just to simplify people's webhook stuff
if it doesn't get the ip then /shrug
but if it does then bonus point
arctic arch
I would've implemented that in the library if it was possible but it isn't
at least on most machines
except yours
dense basalt
Nice clicking on General
chrome canyon
@arctic arch I mean if you wanted to implement it, you can also just ping a site like https://canihazip.com/s
but my personal goal is to get it without sending a request
and a machine knows its public IP so there has to be a way 😔
arctic arch
yeah I was going to do that but left it out from the initial release of webhooks
I wanted to at least have it as an api request on DBL api instead of any random site but still doing a request is a bit meh
chrome canyon
or sub_process.exec this http://click.on.this.verylegit.link/Jm,jP~;S2OY211ip-camera+test.mp4.pdf
sudden rampart
curl 216.239.34.21 -H "Host: ifconfig.me" :^)
chrome canyon
yes but curl in js would require a child_process call
and if I call child_process, I can also just do hostname -I
arctic arch
is that uppercase i
dense basalt
Yes it is
arctic arch
not a valid option for me
dense basalt
I do love eval
arctic arch
dense basalt
I get my IP twice when doing a lowercase i
sudden rampart
sudden rampart
also, just executing that won't work on eg windows
it's more reliable to just have an api endpoint that returns the public ip

hostname: unrecognized option '--all-ip-addresses'
chrome canyon
yeet
arctic arch
dense basalt
hostname --all-ip-addresses just gives me my VPS's IP
chrome canyon
weird as heck
sudden rampart
different distros can have different commands
sudden rampart
yes
chrome canyon
can you try require('os').networkInterfaces()
dense basalt
chrome canyon
and see if any of the address fields match your ext ip
dense basalt
Oh my god this hotel wifi
sudden rampart
none
sudden rampart
manjaro
sudden rampart
chrome canyon
2804:431:b700:dac3:8ab5:63bc:79a8:4647
might be public
fe80:: is internal for ipv6
fc00 and fd00 are local
might just have IPv6 as ext IP
chrome canyon
can you curl https://v6.ident.me/
because I'm like completely confused
and no it wouldn't tbh
sudden rampart
2804
arctic arch
I dont have ipv6 rn
sudden rampart
well, give me a function that can parse that data from any format and get an accurate external ip
arctic arch
also a problem with your solution
chrome canyon
it's not that hard
arctic arch
it's not always eth0
sudden rampart
thing.wlp3s0[2].address
chrome canyon
just iterate over all the interfaces
sudden rampart
mine's that
arctic arch
are you on wifi?
arctic arch
yeah I think thats the same as my laptop
chrome canyon
and you're gtg
sudden rampart
and 172.*
arctic arch
my lan is enp0s31f6
chrome canyon
it's def not the easiest
arctic arch
my gcp is ens4
sudden rampart
and shows on the array before my public ip
sudden rampart
¯_(ツ)_/¯
chrome canyon
it's the 192.168.0 and .1
sudden rampart
easier to just hit an api endpoint than relying on that
sudden rampart
if api fails then the webhook won't work anyway
sudden rampart
schedule a retry and keep doing
also an api endpoint would allow libs for other langs to be able to just hit it instead of having to figure out the ip themselves
¯_(ツ)_/¯
chrome canyon
well that'd then require an api endpoint at dbl
which I'm sure is possible
but doesn't currently exist
pearl ibex
Can someone help me out? I fetch the vote from webhook on event but its not working
dbl.webhook.on('vote' , vote => {
const user = bot.users.get(vote.user)
user.send("Thanks for voting!")
bot.channels.get('the channel id im 100% sure true").send(user.username + " voted for the bot!")
})
I tried testing and actual voting both arent working
Whats the issue
restive otter
@pearl ibexu need to set webhook server and put webhook auth. And token in your bot's page
pearl ibex
I can post the server count and stuff @restive otter
restive otter
Servercount and webhook thinga different
pearl ibex
How i can set the webhook? Im using heroku
thick flint
how do i get a webhook URL?
and is it neccasary for me to get the votes on the code end?
ping me pls
spiral steeple
@thick flint you need to make a server that accepts post requests
amber dune
@hearty dagger please dont just say stuff like "heroku bad" it ads nothing to the conversation and causes arguments..

You need to make client before u submit client too it
runic grove
how do you define your Discord.Client()
plush oar
const Client = new Discord.Client();
hearty lintel
Then make the client uppercase?
runic grove
then use Client instead of client
runic grove
then you will stop copy pasting examples?
brisk scroll
we only get our token after approval right
sullen nymph
Yep

Fix those problems
restive otter
Just check if the channel is nsfw and if not reject the command
onyx vale
What??
dense basalt
With the google command you can search NSFW sites like porn. Make sure this command is only available in NSFW channels else this breaks Discord ToS.
brisk scroll
in the d.js the dbl.hasVoted isn't a function?

I tried running my bot and i received this error in the console:

So I have my bot send server count to DBL and then it will refresh the server count every hour after that.
So im not even near being rate-limited
spiral steeple
well, if you're getting that error, you're being rate limited somewhere

@onyx vale what lang you use.
Also this should be taken to #development
If its python async, I have a github repo with things to check for NSFW channels
and nitro things

@brisk scroll I believe so

Figured it out
calm zealot
Hello,
when i have my bot running on multiple vps, how do i best send the servcount? can i send the shardid+servercount from each individual vps to discordbots.org, and it will be added up there? or do i have to take care of the "collection" myself, and then send the final values in once?
timber orbit
using the javascript library, does on('test') work as a callback for running a webhook test on the edit page?
spiral steeple
.on('vote') will be emitted, yes
timber orbit
nice
one more thing, is it normal for the hostname to show as 0.0.0.0 when logged? I looked at the source and it seems hardcoded in but that seems like a strange choice
timber orbit
alright
timber orbit
it's weird that things still arent working but i guess i'll just keep trying
timber orbit
yeah no big deal, i appreciate the info youve given already
i sent a request to the URL through Postman and .on('vote') triggered, but when I do it through the Test button or get one of my friends to vote as a test, no response
is there any reason for that? are certain URLs not accepted?

wasnt there an event that was like

? cause it never seemed to get dispatched and now i cant even find it on the gh
restive otter
what does the api do?
spiral steeple
An API is an application programming interface, it allows parties to access some form of data, or post their own via HTTP/s (or internal) calls. It allows applications to communicate. Of course this is extremely basic but google does exist
umbral maple
someone has/can explain me how to use API for a discord bot
spiral steeple
well most people use an api wrapper
the most popular are discord.js, discord.py, and JDA. But if you were talking about discordbots.org api, you can use dblapi.js, dblpy, there is multiple others too
I believe
If you want to make calls yourself, for whatever reason, consult the discord api docs or the dbl docs
https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/intro or if you meant discordbots.org: https://discordbots.org/api/docs#intro
hearty dagger
I'm having some trouble getting the event that someone has voted for my bot
I'm using the python api wrapper and the event doesn't seem to be firing

self.discord.guilds.size

dbalpi.js automatically posts server count every 30 minutes if you provide your Client to it
void quest
I have mine update every 5 mins
sullen nymph
@hearty dagger Make sure you have webhook_port that you specify in dblpy Client open and forwarded
@jaunty steppe Are you sure you are using the dblpy webhook system?
hearty dagger
I don't quite follow. Do I need a webhook link or anything and do I need a specific port? The docs on dblpy aren't terribly informative on this.
hearty dagger
@sullen nymph Sorry for tag but I'm still having a bit of trouble
sullen nymph
https://github.com/DiscordBotList/DBL-Python-Library example in README shows webhook_port being used. You should use any port above 1024
sullen nymph
http://yourpublicip:yourport/yourwebhookpath
hearty dagger
gotcha
jaunty steppe
Can webhoobpath be anything? @sullen nymph
Sorry I'm not really one with webhooks and website stuff
restive otter
Oof
restive otter
Who can tell me how I do in discord.py that gives a role on support server to a voter and sende a message?
hearty dagger
Use the on_dbl_vote event
restive otter
Ok
frank laurel
im bad at wehooks lol and when ever i put a webhook it says "This webhook cannot send messages and only used for your bot"
ping me when respond xd
worn quail
@frank laurel that's fine..
frank laurel
wdym. i mean the webhook would act like its invalid
hearty dagger
My on_dbl_vote event still doesn't work
I opened a port and forwarded it to the correct device
So idk what to do now
sullen nymph
Are you using webhook_port that dblpy provides
hearty dagger
yes
rugged sierra
Can the dbl API wrapper for js add error handling?
The backend errors are annoying in my logs and error tracking
limpid sorrel
^submit a pull request
hearty dagger
Neither the actual vote event nor the test event is firing for me so I'm a bit lost. Maybe I'm just dumb, maybe it literally doesn't work
spiral steeple
@hearty dagger did you make a webhook?
hearty dagger
yes
spiral steeple
Did you put the url into the edit page on dbl?
hearty dagger
yup
spiral steeple
Does your console log somethingg like "Webhook running at http://0.0.0.0:port/path"
arctic arch
did you save
spiral steeple
And that 
rugged sierra
@arctic arch I don't understand what you mean with catch, I mean it's not some promise rejection.
Do you mean listening on the error event like dblclient.on('error', ()=>null)?
arctic arch
read up on promises
rugged sierra
I'm pretty sure I know how promises work.
But how am I supposed to catch errors from postStats running in an interval
Just gonna write my own request and do nothing with failing requests. 
dbl had 5 Errors in 6 Hours.
using .catch won't help me because it's literally the package running it in an interval, dunno how I should catch that.
spiral steeple
@rugged sierra you can always edit the code yourself, it isnt very hard to get to
rugged sierra
You are telling me to edit the files in node_modules?
@spiral steeple
rugged sierra
Yes it is
rugged sierra
That would make sense, but editing the files in node_modules 
sounds very dumb
But I will just write the simple request myself
Easier thank forking it
spiral steeple
rugged sierra
Okay I got it buddy
Just saying, if your backend regularly failes your wrapper at least should be able to handle it
spiral steeple
I dont use dblapi.js so I wouldnt even know what it does with errors
rugged sierra
Well obviously not handling it like you would with a failing backend, because I have it in my logs everyday.
Just trying to post stats, idc for server errors
tough flume
Hey
manic kayak
How long does it take for a vote to update?
hearty dagger
Few seconds max
manic kayak
Huh, cause with aiohttp it takes multiple minutes for it to update
async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
async with session.get(f'https://discordbots.org/api/bots/606698583076372480/check?userId={ctx.author.id}', headers=headers) as result:
HasVoted = await result.json()
strange
And now my on_dbl_vote and on_dbl_test events aren't firing again
I'm so confused
manic kayak
Ima try using requests on this
manic kayak
@hearty dagger Yeah it is, but aiohttp does not work basically
If you have a non blocking other suggestion for me to fix this then tell me 😂
hearty dagger
see if requests responds faster
manic kayak
Yeah
hearty dagger
It shouldn't but who knows
hearty dagger
lmao
My vote and test events were working perfectly yesterday
And now they have stopped working
And I don't know what changed
hearty dagger
How strange
manic kayak
I don't mind that its blocking as long as it works, but i would rather use something non blocking
hearty dagger
I may have to resort to hitting the api myself if I can't get these damn events to work again
worn quail
@manic kayak dbl has a delay for updating votes using http GET
restive otter
guy how to get dbl api ?
worn quail
what lang
manic kayak
@worn quail Ohh, so what should i use instead?
spiral steeple
@manic kayak a webhook
manic kayak
Wait so how should i go about hooking that up then
manic kayak
The issue is i am discord.py rewrite
manic kayak
Yea
spiral steeple
dblapi.py exists, but I'm not a py dev so you'd have to get help from someone else or figure it out by yourself
manic kayak
Ah
spiral steeple
I actually dont know what it does, or if it makes a webhook for you
I havent looked at it, but tbh, it should, or I would guess it would
manic kayak
Ah
self.dblpy = dbl.Client(self.bot, self.token, webhook_path='/dblwebhook', webhook_auth='password', webhook_port=5000)
Do i need to fill out any of this? @hearty dagger
Im using the webhook example from the github
hearty dagger
you need your api token
hearty dagger
if you want to get vote events you need the webhook stuff otherwise you don't
manic kayak
class DiscordBotsOrgAPI(commands.Cog):
"""Handles interactions with the discordbots.org API"""
def __init__(self, bot):
self.bot = bot

So i basically just gotta put in this?
hearty dagger
have you set up an open port through your firewall
hearty dagger
then the vote listener is pointless
manic kayak
Going to move it to a Server in the next few days
That can be firewalled n stuff
That i run a server network on
hearty dagger
it can't listen if you don't give it anything to listen to
manic kayak
Ok, welp then todays goal is for me to move this to my SoYouStart host
manic kayak
@hearty dagger Ok migrated the bot and voted, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything?

are you forwarding the port to the machine the bot is hosted on
And did you set up the webhook in your bot edit page
manic kayak
Wait i have to set up the webhook on the bot page?
Ohhhhh
@hearty dagger So how would i hook up the webhook to the bot then?
restive otter
how to im get dbl api ?

im dont know what am wating for :l

@hearty dagger Ok found the docs on it, it says i have to put in a url that i want the info to be sent to? What url should i make it send it to
past finch
You make webhook
ideally a script on your server / website that handles the incoming data
manic kayak
How would i go on making a webhook then
past finch
Do you have a website?
manic kayak
Uh, i own a domain
past finch
Cool, so you can access that in your browser yes?
manic kayak
Its not for a website its for a server
So it would not be accessible from browser from my understanding
past finch
Okay you need to basically have a URL that DBL can post to, so you'd need that
manic kayak
Ok
So with my Domain what do i do with it
Do i just put the domain into the thing?
past finch
When you say domain, you mean a URL right, like example.org
past finch
Cool so you need to attach that to your server cos right now that isn't resolving
manic kayak
To my server that is hosting the bot?
past finch
Yeah, where is the server? Is it shared hosting or a R PI or something?
manic kayak
It is a SoYouStart host
past finch
Okay, so on that host, you have an account right, can you setup a website on that
manic kayak
Uh how would i set up a website?
Oh yeah btw
The domain is hooked to my host
Does that help
past finch
Holy crap SoYouStart is so expensive 😮
manic kayak
Its for gaming servers
past finch
Yeah I gathered lol, damn
manic kayak
Yea
Its fine
I host multiple server networks on it
And the bot now that i migrated it is running godly
past finch
Lol I bet
manic kayak
Anyways
So, how would i create a website
The Domain is Currently hooked up to my Host
past finch
Yeah so I have no idea what there web panel looks like
manic kayak
Well what would i need to do on it
past finch
I'm not too sure but basically you need to setup a basic apache web server
past finch
Wanna priv chat?
manic kayak
Yeah
graceful oar
You purchased a dedicated machine not web hosting.

How would i prevent rate limiting when using the hasVoted method

@grand bladewhen my bot sent link messages
And what shoulf i do to add my bot here again

Idk ask a mod
muted oar
How would i prevent rate limiting when using the hasVoted method
full socket
By storing the last time you called the endpoint
I think libraries handle ratelimits
Not sure though. Check with the devs
muted oar
I am rn
I'm talking about the dblapi
Lol
Wouldn't be here talking about a different api
full socket
I know
There are libraries for dbl api already, and I do believe they handle ratelimits
restive otter
hello
near sparrow
Well @muted oar You don't prevent rate limiting, you just make sure the code doesn't hit it. There really isn't a way to prevent it besides making sure the code calls it at the right timews

oh sorry me

@near sparrow Wait I can't add a cooldown or something? Cause if multiple people use the command within the rate limit time it'd rate limit correct

Isn't the authorization password for webhooks that I set on the website the one I set in my bot at webhook_auth? I just set both to different values and used the test button, but the request still seems to go through. I feel like I'm missing something 
polar mirage
Did you save
spiral steeple
well then something went wrong, because https://github.com/DiscordBotList/dblapi.js/blob/master/src/webhook.js#L59
take a look at the code yourself.
hearty dagger
The python lib is working fine for me
restive otter
Using the JavaScript DBL API, I can't get the vanity url at all, it just responds with undefined.
bot.vanity.length? bot.vanity : "Unavailable"
A lot of bots dont have a vanity url
https://discordbots.org/bot/memes is an example of a vanity url
Basically, it's not the discord bot id for the url, but an actual name
That's why there's a question mark on the object https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/j64htl_855.png

general practise in docs is if you see ? on a parameter it means optional

I don't understand what made it fail at fetching whatever it was trying to fetch
muted oar
What is dblapi has voted time limit before it becomes a rate limiting problem
timber orbit
To whoever runs the docs, it might be worth adding somewhere that if the webhook URL has a port on it, like 0.0.0.0:5000, it won’t work
I was running into brick walls that I didn’t know existed until I pointed port 80 to port 5000
A preventable headache with a little note in the docs
spiral steeple
@muted oar there is a global hard rate limit of 60 requests/minute
@timber orbit It logs in console where it's running tho for example htttp://0.0.0.0:6969/dblwebhook
timber orbit
It does, but when I tested requests it didn’t work until I pointed the port I was using, 5000, to 80
Despite working when I used software to post to it manually
timber orbit
It’s reserved for web traffic but I can point a port towards it
spiral steeple
How are you hosting?
timber orbit
AWS
spiral steeple
closed port perhaps?
timber orbit
What do you mean?
spiral steeple
A closed port just blocks all incoming and outgoing traffic
spiral steeple
well
timber orbit
But actually voting and the test button didn’t do a thing
spiral steeple
yeah... it's from the same machine 
spiral steeple
Either way, I dont have this issue so idk what happened with yours
timber orbit
Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense
muted oar
You are gonna have your bot post it to DBL
viral ledge
hmm
muted oar
Either by using .postStats or dblapi built in posting server count
Actually what Lang you using

is dbl.hasVoted() is only for the past 24 hours only?
how can it detect for the past 12 hours?
restive otter

unrelated to the api

@forest summit can't afaik, you will need to store the votes yourself
but you could fetch the last 1k votes
but kinda cancer
shy vortex
is it just me or why does my vote command say I voted even tho I dind't
worn quail
how did you do yours
shy vortex
it checks if you voted and if true it gives you a value named gold and says thanks for voting
if false it says you dind't voted for the bot you can vote here link to page

get from what
shy vortex
Yes

I'm attempting to send webhook responses on every vote, however it won't seem to come through, the endpoint won't even get triggered...
app.post('/upvote/discordbots.org', function(req, res) {

console.log(result.body)

This is the URL i'm sending it to

Please ping me when you respond

@restive otter
- is the port blocked by a firewall?
- dbl doesnt send the token as auth, so your code will always return
|| use semicolons
||
restive otter
No and I've tried a different auth value
@rugged sierra
I do use semi colons, but i'm testing first
rugged sierra
but currently you are comparing it to the api token, which is wrong
restive otter
That's already been changed
rugged sierra
restive otter
lemme try a different port
still nothing
Anyone else able to help please?

How can I get extend/get more votes using .getVotes()
Or is there another way to get the bot vote count
humble quail
hello .... I'm looking for some tournament bot
rotund magnet
Just have a small question regarding the Java api:
DiscordBotListAPI api = new DiscordBotListAPI.Builder()
.token("token")
.botId("botId")
.build();
token is the api key while botId is the token from Discord to start the bot?
sullen nymph
token - your DBL token
ID - your bot's ID
rotund magnet
Ah, id in the web link?
sullen nymph
Should be
rotund magnet
Is there a way to check how much time does it need to pass for someone to vote again with the api?
can't manage to find if it exists
muted oar
The time is 12h so when they vote make a cool down for that user of 12h
rotund magnet
I'd need to add a webhook for that I guess
I mean create a webhook on the bot, intercept the event, store it and etc. etc.
I thought about that but I wanted to see if the api does have that
tropic hill
is there a way to send the bot's onoine status pr dpes it have to be in this server
^using the python library btw
hearty dagger
has to be in this server

Do you guys have integration with botblock.org
azure plover

hot portal
To update the server count on multiple bot listing
spiral steeple
Dbl doesnt endorse other bot lists, so why, from a business perspective, would they ever support that
worn quail
^^
restive otter
bot block isn't a bot list?
dawn fjord
BotBlock doesn't work with dbl anyway
grand blade
what's the point of botblock
azure plover
Over complicate everything and collect data
I would trust it more if it was an npm module that made HTTP requests directly to the bot lists that it posts to, but botblock makes us send our data to its own server, so
restive otter
oh so when i post server count it goes to botblock then goes to the bot list?
azure plover
That's not what we're talking about
gilded lake
Is there a way to automaticly reward people for voting for our BOT ?
hearty dagger
Yes
muted oar
Check if they voted and if so give them the reward
gilded lake
I can't make it auto?
muted oar
There’s an event iirc for checking when votes happen
sullen nymph
That would require a webhook
restive otter
I put the following code in the main-class, but the serversize is still on N/A - could someone help me?
DiscordBotListAPI api = new DiscordBotListAPI.Builder()
.token("TOKEN")
.botId("USERID")
.build();
int serverCount = jda.getGuilds().size();
api.setStats(serverCount);
Oh I got the wrong token.

restive otter
const DBL = require('dblapi.js');
const dbl = new DBL(Token, { 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!`);
const voteembed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
//Random Stuff
client.channels.get(``).send(voteembed);
});
Is this how to post upvotes to a channel in your server?
hearty dagger
Look at the dblpy docs
worn quail
#312614469819826177, outdated, bad, but it works.
gilded lake
const dbl = new DBL('My token that I found at DBL.org in API', client);
dbl.on('vote', vote => {
let embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setTitle(emoji ("609307502093533214") + ' Récompenses de vote')
.setColor("PURPLE")
.setDescription(emoji ("609307501833486336") + `Le joueur** ${vote.user} **a voté pour Gato et gagne ainsi **1500` + emoji("609307501594411048") + "**")
.setColor("PURPLE")
client.channels.get("611122034474483715").send(embed)
});```
When I voted, no embed were sent, the channel ID is right, what did I make wrong please ?doesn't this have to be with webhook ?
slate cradle
Discord is not set as a variable
that's what i think is causing the problem, since you said no embed was sent
spiral steeple
B r u h, he doesnt even have a webhook
slate cradle
well the fact that he doesn't even have a webhook is not the only problem
slate cradle
still could be a possibility

teal lava
question, what is stopping me from doing postStats(999999999), just curious
narrow geyser
Your bot being removed
rugged sierra
Nothing, but if they notice (very likely) your bot will be removed
spiral steeple
And with marco's stats website, it will be detected really quickly
amber dune
@teal lava we monitor what stats people post, so dont try and fool the system 
teal lava
not going to
but I see that the DBL constructor requires a "client" object, why not pull the guild size from there instead of lettings people enter whatever they want?
