Hey im just wondering, how would I handle the webhook when my bot is sharded
runic grove
in a different process (this could be your sharding manager process)
restive otter
previously i had a simple
const DBL = require('dblapi.js');
const dbl = new DBL('token', {webhookPort: 3000, webhookAuth: 'token')
but now that wont work because if every shard did that itd get errors with the port.
How can I make just one shard handle it 
or where else would I handle it. using discord.js btw 
runic grove
are you using internal sharding
restive otter
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const manager = new Discord.ShardingManager('./bot.js')
manager.spawn(3);
manager.on('launch', shard => {
console.log(`Launched shard ${shard.id} now`)
})
is my shard manager
runic grove
is that stable or master
restive otter
idek
idk wha im doing or what that means
but its discordjs v11.5.1-dev or something i thinkk
runic grove
do you want to send a dm to the user who voted
restive otter
yep
basically just need to be able to send something to the user and thats all id need
runic grove
oh wait
ignore that
you could use <Shard>.send() to make one of your shards dm the user
restive otter
ill give it a try
thx 
ye no i have no idea how id send something to a specific shard and how to then receive that. google aint helping
inland spindle
I put the code mentioned here in my bot https://discordbots.org/api/docs#jslib
still doesnt work
halp
obsidian tide
@inland spindle few questions
- did you download the npm?
inland spindle
yep

const dbltoken = "DBL TOKEN"
const dblport = 80
const dblpassword = "enter password here"
const DBL = require('dblapi.js');
const dbl = new DBL(dbltoken, { webhookPort: dblport, webhookAuth: dblpassword });
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 ${vote.user} just voted!`);
});
use that
inland spindle
excuse my sillyness but whats dbl pass? @obsidian tide
obsidian tide
so where's ur bot page?
there should be a edit button
scroll down
and then you can add your webhook AND password
so you can make ur password anything u want
i reccomend a secure password
like completely random
past sky
No
obsidian tide
no
let me find code to post server
i put this in a eval cmd constantly dbl.postStats(client.guilds.size)
if u put it in some loop when u connect to the dbl server, u might be able to make auto post
inland spindle
this is what I put but didnt work
obsidian tide
u dont put it there
if u do, u have to make an autopost loop
what's , client);
@inland spindle ^
inland spindle
got the code from documentation website
obsidian tide
...
here's a simple way to sperate the dbl code
- delete all the current dbl code u did
- make a file called "dbl.js" (same direction as bot.js/server.js)
- add
require("./dbl.js")in your code (usually at the top)
- add this to
dbl.js
const dbltoken = "DBL TOKEN"
const dblport = 80
const dblpassword = "enter password here"
const DBL = require('dblapi.js');
const dbl = new DBL(dbltoken, { webhookPort: dblport, webhookAuth: dblpassword });
dbl.webhook.on('ready', hook => {
console.log(`Webhook running at http://${hook.hostname}:${hook.port}${hook.path}`);
});
dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`);
});
ofc change the vars of dbltoken, dblport and dblpassword
if you are using glitch.com which im assuming u are because of the formatting colors, change dblport = process.env.PORT
dbltoken = the token that is listed in https://top.gg/api/docs#mybots for your bot
dblpassword can be anything, but you need to also set the same pass in the dbl website using the edit button in ur bot page
obsidian tide
k
frigid shore
what does it mean?
restive otter
Your dbltoken is right?
frigid shore
yes
harsh stream
The dbl token is not the same as the bot token
restive otter
how can i give user who vote a credits ! like probot
i tried this but there's nothing in console 😕
dbl.on('vote', async vote => {
console.log(vote);
})
clever rock
ok I'll make this easy and brainless to make you understand
Webhook URL is your server ip:port of where a webserver will receive the vote.
Webook Auth is your webhook password of your choice 200x emphasis on of your choice
@frigid shore
clever rock
if you receive no votes
make sure to configure your firewall
or portforward properly if hosted on home
frigid shore
const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
const dbl = new DBL('token', { webhookAuth: 'password', webhookServer: server });
console.log(dbl.webhook);
dbl.webhook.on('ready', hook => {
console.log(`Webhook running with path ${hook.path}`);
});
dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`);
});
it doesnt work
oh
i didnt save
my progect
😄
harsh stream
make sure the webhook URL on your bot page is correct
and save your stuff before testing it 
frigid shore
how to get ip of my server? 
clever rock
thats something you can google
that already falls into too much spoonfeeding category
frigid shore
i created server, but i cant see its ip :(
harsh stream
if you got a VPS then the VPS provider often shows the IP in the admin page on their website.
if the server is at your home then it is your own ip address.
if you host your server somewhere else then just google how to find the IP
frigid shore
i created server with express
const app = express();
const server = http.createServer(app);
const dbl = new DBL('token', { webhookAuth: 'password', webhookServer: server });
console.log(dbl.webhook);
dbl.webhook.on('ready', hook => {
console.log(`Webhook running with path ${hook.path}`);
});
dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
console.log(`User with ID ${vote.user} just voted!`);
});
so, its ip is my ip?

@restive otter this is not top.gg api related. Ask on #development
restive otter
ok
dark briar
isn't there a way to bind the api to library your using or something so the lib handles all the events?
like with discord.js
kind barn
Good evening all
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 set up the token and password in my code.
Also the url is my vps' ip and port
Similat this
1.1.1.1:5000
The console logs that am running on
0.0.0.0:5000
So what im missing?
I tried changing the port also didnt work
Does it needs to set the static ip in the code ?
vapid cape
why does it say its running on port 80 when ou set it on port 5000?
you dont need to set up any ip in your code, it will listen to all requests that come through that port
you just need to make sure the requests arrive correctly, by providing the correct public ip and port to your vps
kind barn
No that screen after changing the port in top.gg website and code
Also tried using express
But nothing done
@vapid cape im sure that vps' ip and port are correct
restive otter
Does anybody have a NSFW api i can have or no?
vapid cape
@kind barn check with your hosting company if you need to open ports
kind barn
@vapid cape thanks brother
restive otter
@restive otter no

@restive otter wrong channel

Why does the api take forever
Like for the .hasvoted I vote then my bot still says I haven’t voted for the next 2 minutes
While unbelievabot takes like seconds after I vote
vapid cape
use webhooks instead
restive otter
How would I check if the message author has voted
Ooooooh nvm
I’ll see if that’s faster

whiee?
nope
it resets every month
iirc
1st day of month (i.e. 1st feb this month)
sullen nymph
It resets on new month after someone votes
silk bluff
ay

Which means no one has voted for your bot until yesterday/today

Why does webhook give my ip as 0.0.0.0?
console.log(`Webhook running at http://${hook.hostname}:${hook.port}${hook.path}`);
});```
harsh stream
It means that it will accept connections on all the ip addresses that the computer has
icy summit
Should I enter the server's external connection ip on my editing page?
https://**.***.***.78:3000/dblwebhook
spiral steeple
if that's your machine's ip
icy summit
IP address will be as I sent?
harsh stream
also check if your webhook listener expects http or https

Curious why the webhook doesnt support discord webhooks?
It would be soooo awesome to receive alerts in a channel on my server as opposed to having to open up a port to listen to webhooks
It would be soo amazing just to get them in anchannel
green mantle
You can do that anyway
It's not hard to do a webhook to discord
The API hook is only for sending it to your webhook server for you to handle yourself
vapid cape
you can use stuff like IFTTT to convert one webhook into the other

Anyone could probably help if you actually stated the issue

after looking at the wrapper
the issue is in the typings

ancient ridge
webhook is its own emitter
i ended up making my own webhook handler sadly as the internal one in the wrapper wasnt supporting TS properly
dapper copper
thing is
webhook isnt its own emitter
TopGG extends EventEmitter
meaning TopGG itself is the emitter
@arctic arch I am correct yea? (sorry about the ping)
ancient ridge
TopGG is a event emitter but TopGG.webhook is also an EventEmitter
vote events are not emitted by TopGG
they are emitted by .webhook

hey I'm using dblapi.js to report stats and had a quick question. I'm using discord.js and my bot is sharded.
Do I just need to pass my client object into the dblapi constructor on each of my shards? Or would I need to manually add up server counts across shards and just send it from one shard?
just a little confused about what the serverCount argument on postStats refers to - the total server count or just the count for the current shard?
vapid cape
when you pass client into dblapi, you dont need to use poststats
brisk marten
^
vapid cape
dblapi is also smart enough to handle shards
brisk marten
there is an autoposter
vapid cape
data.server_count = this.client.guilds.size;
if (this.client.shard && this.client.shard.count) {
data.shard_id = this.client.shard.id;
data.shard_count = this.client.shard.count;
} else if (this.client.shards && this.client.shards.size !== 1) {
data.shard_count = this.client.shards.size;
}```^this is what dblapi does automatically
rain igloo
gotcha, so it'll call postStats internally using info from my client with each shard's serverCount, and then they'll get added up on top.gg's server?
vapid cape
yes, each shard will send its individual server count, and the server should add them up
rain igloo
perfect, thank you 😄
willow spindle
What should I write here? server ip:port ?
vapid cape
in url yes
willow spindle
with http/https ?
willow spindle
ok
harsh stream
the url should look like http://(IP)ADDRESS:5000/dblwebhook
change the port and path if needed
and the authorization can be whatever you want it to be as long as it is the same as what the webhook is expecting
willow spindle
Webhook running at http://0.0.0.0:0/dblwebhook
is this normal?
finally I did. Thanks

Do you have a loop that keeps spamming the DBL website?
Keep in mind that there is a rate limit of 60 calls per minute for the DBL api
401 Unauthorized probably means that your token is incorrect

why there is a GET request from DBL after a POST request

Can someone explain me a Lil bit of it 😅
queen sierra
(Python) Just started using the dbl API. I tried to test the webhook with the provided webhook example but I am receiving this error. Any ideas what's causing it?
green mantle
@sullen nymph did you change the aiohttp version for the pypi package?
queen sierra
it was changed around 10 days ago to support discord 1.3 (which i am currently using) afaik
sullen nymph
Only the github repo
queen sierra
that might be the issue
i did use the pypi package instead of the repo. I will test it now
unfortunately, that did not fix it for me
:/
green mantle
whats yer code
queen sierra
using the webhook example from the repo readme
could it be that I am using the wrong port?
right now its 5000 (the default one)
green mantle
well what are you hosting your bot on
queen sierra
digitalocean (vps)
green mantle
you need the port you set to be open
queen sierra
the port seems to be open but I am still experiencing the issue
ok, I found where the issue is
I changed the webhook url from https to http, which is not really desirable
green mantle
well it cant be secure if you dont have a secure system lmaop
queen sierra
sorry, networks are really out of my comfort zone. I managed to figure things out. Thank you for your time
🙂

The library only supports http by default, if you want https then you need to use another web server
jagged escarp
Hello, would anyone be able to guide me towards resources for configuring a custom webhook in C# with Discord.NET / .NET Core?
green mantle
jagged escarp
Yeah I've been using this, I don't believe this supports webhooks, but instead makes queries to the API which is forbidden if you have a lot of upvotes. Though correct me if I'm wrong
harsh stream
the java lib also doesn't support webhooks, but it isnt that hard to implement I think
jagged escarp
Yeah I'm trying to find resources online but literally everything is ASP.NET exclusive, kinda stumped cuz I've never done this in regular .net core
harsh stream
I don't use the DBL webhook, but my private bot has already a tiny webserver attached to it for other reasons
Im sure there are some C# libs that can create a webserver
jagged escarp
Alright cool I'll try and look into that
https://github.com/unosquare/embedio Would this do the trick?
harsh stream
I'm a Java dev, so I can't help with .net specific stuff

gotcha

But it looks like it might work

I dont understand the webhook things can anyone explain it a bit more to me im interested in learning it.
hello?
vapid cape
top.gg/dbl webhooks?
basically whenever a vote happens, top.gg will send you a POST request to the url you specify in the bot edit page
its up to you to provide a webserver or address that is able to receive those requests
rose cargo
@vapid cape how would I do a webserver?
vapid cape
depends on your language
rose cargo
discord.js
vapid cape
for javascript there is a library which does it for you
dblapi.js
if you dont want to use the library, you can setup a webserver using the built-in http module, or with libraries such as express.js
green mantle
@sullen nymph i take it pypi install is still oofed?

I don't know if this is an API issue or a bot issue, but at a random point my bots server count went to 1 until I restarted, this only appeared on the website, as evaling showed the appropriate server count

@NMW03#0001 what would i put in these feilds though?
vapid cape
@rose cargo you need a webserver to receive the webhooks
the url is the address of your webserver
rose cargo
i dont understand how to make a webserver tho
vapid cape
what language are you using?
rose cargo
js
vapid cape
where is your bot hosted?
vapid cape
you can use dblapi.js
it creates the webserver for you
for glitch, you need to use process.env.PORT as your webhook port
rose cargo
i dont understand much about it
vapid cape
and in the url field you need to put your glitch project url plus /dblwebhook
rose cargo
ok then what?
vapid cape
you know how to install modules?
rose cargo
yes
vapid cape
then install dblapi.js
rose cargo
i did
vapid cape
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!`);
});``` this is the example code for how to use ityourDBLtoken is the token from your bot's edit page
webhookport should be process.env.PORT for glitch
rose cargo
ok
vapid cape
webhookAuth doesnt matter what you put, as long as you put the same thing in the authentication field in the website
vapid cape
in the url field, it should be YOURGLITCHPROJECT.glitch.me/dblwebhook
vapid cape
then save the setup in your dbl edit page, and hit the test button
you should see the console.log in your logs
rose cargo
@Tim#2373 i used the stuff u said to use now my console gives and error

Your uptime robot is on the same port
Have them use the same server
instead of a different one
vapid cape
@rose cargo if you already have a webserver, then add it to dblapi
{webhookAuth:yourpassword,server:yourExistingServer}
rose cargo
how do i get my existing server?
vapid cape
acutally remove port, because with an existing server you dont need the port
the existing server is the uptimerobot server
vapid cape
what is your code?
rose cargo
@vapid cape dm me
rose cargo
i cant copy and paste
because im on mobile
and glitch doesnt allow it
so ima have to send u the glitch link
vapid cape
lol ok
rose cargo
@vapid cape i sent it to ur dms
go to the server.js part
this is so confusing
@vapid cape did u check it?
this is so confusing lol
vapid cape
@rose cargo
this should be your server
move that entire code block to the top
and add server:listener to the dbl config
rose cargo
do i remove webhookAuth?
spiral steeple
no
rose cargo
@vapid cape now it says cannot read property on of undefined on the dbl.webhook.on
what do i do now
?
@spiral steeple ^
rose cargo
@spiral steeple dm me
spiral steeple
Are my dms off?
rose cargo
yes
rose cargo
ok
vapid cape
and you should probably put your dbl token in your env file as well
rose cargo
ok
ok it works
@vapid cape how would i get it to show a users name and discriminator though?
willow spindle
client.users.fetch()
rose cargo
huh
spiral steeple
it sends vote
vapid cape
the webhook gives you a user id, and you probably noticed
rose cargo
ye
vapid cape
now you need to use this id to get the user from your bot
rose cargo
how
rose cargo
I use this but it shows it as undefined
@willow spindle ^
should I use await on the fetchUser?
willow spindle
yes
rose cargo
ok let me try it
Im sorry if im trouble it just that i havent done this type of stuff before
spiral steeple
yeah that's good practice
rose cargo
so like if wamted it to send to a certain channel instead of console would i use async (vote, message)?
@spiral steeple ^
spiral steeple
no, to send it to a channel you'd have to either get the channel from cache or fetch a channel
then use its send method
willow spindle
add ) after }
rose cargo
thanks.

The python package of dblpy library requires aiohttp<3.60 but discord.py requires aiohttp>3.6.0
Should I use get and set api calls to top.gg instead of using the library dblpy
green mantle
You need to install of source atm
The GitHub version has been updated for 1.3.1 d.py
hollow sandal
Okay, thanks
But one problem:
How to install python library from Github source code
green mantle
pip install git+https://github.com/DiscordBotList/DBL-Python-Library
hollow sandal
Thanks again.
little ice
vote webhook test is not working for me
my api doesn't received any data
using postman to simulate the request work fine tho
so url and authorization are fine
when people vote it doesn't receive anything too
was working fine in the past tho
restive otter
do u get any error?
little ice
nope nothing
vapid cape
you used postman to test dbl -> postman or postman -> bot?
little ice
postman -> bot
vapid cape
then idk, show relevant code i guess?
little ice
actually it doesn't even enter the route of the api
vapid cape
and you used exactly the same url as in your bot edit page?
little ice
yup
vapid cape
did you save before using the test button?
little ice
yup
but it's the same config for a while now
since it was working before
and just it cease working i don't know why
vapid cape
does the test button also not work?
little ice
i just see a confirmation of the webhook being sent but the bot doesn't receive anything
vapid cape
try dbl -> some api tester
little ice
any website idea to do so ?
vapid cape
vapid cape
so dbl is sending
vapid cape
lol
¯_(ツ)_/¯
maybe there was a bug in dbl's database
and changing the url fixed it
little ice
maybe
for now test are working but not actual vote tho
i asked for a friend to vote and it didn't work
if anybody have a solution ? would be greatly appreciated
nimble steeple
mental raft
Oh, thank you
restive otter
Did anybody have an Naruto bot ?
ionic flame
This is api related channel
restive otter
How can i make Webhooks?
green mantle
vapid cape
what do you want to do?
green mantle
if you go to the edit part of your bot
and scroll
down
to the bottom
should be a button like generate token or somthing
mental raft
thanks
little ice
still having problem with it btw ... test work but actual vote don't
little ice
and after looking throught my nginx log i can see it doesn't even reach my server sometimes
so not a code problem
but i don't get how i would be the only one to get such an issue
anyway to get a log of what is happening with webhooks on the website part ?
green mantle
Its almost defo not the website
little ice
certainly
green mantle
Make sure your firewall isnt blocking anything
green mantle
And check if your port is actually open on that address
little ice
like if i change the url
and test it out right away
it works 1 time
and after that never again
basically
could this be cache or something ?
is there any staff i can pm to maybe get a log of what's going on or something ?
cause all my other webhook are working perfectly fine so this is weird
do the test button have a rate limit ?
cause when using https://webhook.site for example webhook are sometime not received too

@restive otter english only
restive otter
I have a problem with my Bot
When I start my program on the bot everything goes without errors but always after a certain time the bot goes offline on its own server but there is no error message. For this reason, I tried my program with many others and everything went without problems and the bot stayed online. Did I do something wrong or is it up to you?
green mantle
@restive otter TopGG is not responsible / will not host the bot for you
narrow zenith
this channel is to do with the api for the discord bot website
green mantle
This channel is for the DBL API
You issue belongs more in #development altho it seems to be a hosting problem
restive otter
ok
silent pilot
harsh stream
js and python are the most popular languages on this server, but you want to be in #development if you have questions about bot development
willow spindle
ask and wait for someone who can answer to help you.

- Url: Your webhook server address (This is normally your IP you host the bot on, port and then /dblwebhook)
- AuthKey: litterally anything
arctic arch
to run a webhook you need to host a webserver that will receive the web requests
the javascript and python libraries can do that for you
then you need to find out your public ip, make sure your ports are forwarded and fill in the details on the website
save before testing
little ice
i'm still not receiving all of the webhooks
little ice
anyway to get more insight on what is the website side error whenever it send a "upvote" event and doesn't succeed ?

frigid shore
what is isWeekend()?
vapid cape
it seems @arctic arch didnt add the recent v12 changes to dblapi.js yet
frigid shore
silk bluff
okie
arctic arch
likely wont be supporting master right now as it's in development
vapid cape
instead of adding your client to new DBL() use dbl.postStats() instead
silk bluff
okies
arctic arch
@frigid shore on weekends, votes are counted as double
vapid cape
@arctic arch well for now you could simply do something like data.server_count = (this.client.guilds.size || this.client.guilds.cache.size);
frigid shore
tks
silk bluff
ye
arctic arch
yea I could
silk bluff
maybe I will fork it
arctic arch
it's just weird maintaining something for a development version with lots of breaking changes
vapid cape
yeah its understandable
although djs v12 has been in development for years and many people use it in production lmao
arctic arch
but if it seems like this is settled on and v12 is still far away from ever getting stable then I might
including us
vapid cape
yup
frigid shore
is there a time limit of getting votes?
i want to set interval on each second
to get votes
green mantle
df
frigid shore
?
green mantle
isnt the votes a event
frigid shore
what?
frigid shore
but i dont want to use webhook
green mantle
flooding the API with requests is gonna get you told off by tonkku
if you need help with the webhook then ask here and if its JS im sure tim can help ui
frigid shore
ok
silk bluff
I forked the api code and have edited it to just post server count on discord.js v12
https://github.com/SoulHarsh007/dblapi.js
@arctic arch okay with that?
frigid shore
what must be here?
arctic arch
you can do whatever with your fork
restive otter
silk bluff
okie thanks
restive otter
help me
arctic arch
@frigid shore nothing, that's just an example of existing routes in the web server
arctic arch
@restive otter you are not logged in
frigid shore
will webhook work with this code?
arctic arch
not when you made the request @restive otter
frigid shore
:((
arctic arch
@frigid shore do you have an existing express server
arctic arch
you can choose
frigid shore
random?
arctic arch
as long as it's over 1024

@restive otter I think you should seek help from someone who can also speak your language

}```why no work?
arctic arch
snekfetch is deprecated. did you get that from #312614469819826177
arctic arch
you need to add your webhook details on the website
arctic arch
the url is empty
frigid shore
what is url?
arctic arch
http://<your ip>:<the port you chose>/dblwebhook
willow spindle
server ip:port/dblwebhook
arctic arch
yes
worn quail
oh
my

this conversation, Smoky this all can be found through google
and the top.gg api webpage
frigid shore
no
frigid shore
tonkku is better google 
frigid shore
@arctic arch does the bot need to be online to make webhook?
worn quail
no, the script that makes the webhook run (i do my dbl stuff in a backend server) must be running
frigid shore
hm.. but it doesnt work..
worn quail
@frigid shore do you have a static IP
frigid shore
?
arctic arch
if yes you'd need to configure your router to open the port, on a host you just need to make sure there's no firewall blocking it
frigid shore
what's static ip.
worn quail
google it
your internet provider changes your IP (sometimes at random, once or twice daily even i think) and you would need to update it.
frigid shore
nono
worn quail
you are going to want that
frigid shore
its
the script
if i put webhook here
YEEE
WEBHOOK WORKKS
v
@arctic arch tks))))
frigid shore
yes..
arctic arch
so the webhook is running but does it receive the test request
frigid shore
i used this script
frigid shore
its ip
vapid cape
show an example
frigid shore
??
vapid cape
show what you put
frigid shore
vapid cape
and authorization you put the same one in your code?
frigid shore
yes
vapid cape
did you save and press the test button?
frigid shore
yes
vapid cape
and nothing appeared in the logs?
frigid shore
appeared
arctic arch
what appeared
frigid shore
frigid shore
not yet
arctic arch
that's what the test button should trigger
frigid shore
but i cant vote
little ice
is there a rate limit to it ? (to the test button)
arctic arch
@frigid shore you dont need to vote, just press the test button where you added the url and authorization
little ice
please
frigid shore
what is test button?
vapid cape
frigid shore
ok
arctic arch
@little ice I am having no problem receiving every webhook post
little ice
yeah
frigid shore
no
little ice
using webhook.site it is working
frigid shore
doesnt work
little ice
but my for some reason my api doesn't receive all of them
and whenever i use postman (for example) everything is working fine
so i guess there is a problem somewhere
is there a way to see the webhook side error ?
cause my nginx doesn't record the webhook being sent so i don't even receive a request
little ice
nope
webhook was working fine before
but it just doesn't work now i don't know why
so for now i'm using Zapier as a work around and it is working
but it is very limited
arctic arch
but it seems the problem is somewhere within your network
little ice
maybe but
vapid cape
is your nginx configured with any sort of rate limiting?
little ice
why twitch webhooks and zapier one are working perfectly
no rate limit that i am aware of
every other service are working fine
arctic arch
then it should be all about the url with correct ip and open ports
frigid shore
but why ready event works
vapid cape
ready event works because it means the server is running
but if the server is not receiving anything then something is blocking the requests
vapid cape
@little ice try doing something like monitoring incoming connections instead of relying on nginx logs
the connection might be coming but be rejected somewhere before it reaches nginx or by nginx itself
little ice
mhh
frigid shore
does anybody speak russian?
vapid cape
niet
little ice
any idea how to do that ?
