topgg-api

[sullen nymph]

You have the 1.4 version package if you downloaded it from PyPi. That documentation is for 2.0.0a, the version on the GitHub repo. You can refer to https://topggpy.rtfd.io/stable for 1.4 docs

[rain heart]

take a note of when the user voted
store that in a database
make a timer for when they can revote again
once timers up, tell user they can vote again

[drowsy spruce]

but don't votes reset in a certain time?

[rain heart]

so basically

voted: --> Timestamp into database
-> Start timer from Timestamp to Timestamp+12h

when timer up:
-> Tell user they can vote again
-> optionally remove entry in database for it

they do, but that is not provided in the api as a parameter

[drowsy spruce]

if so

[drowsy spruce]

then i can't do this

[rain heart]

why not

[drowsy spruce]

because votes reset statically

and not dynamically

[rain heart]

You can keep track of time yourself, get the time from when they voted (such as getting the system time from receiving the webhook), and start a timer for 12 hours from that point

Users can vote again after 12 hours, thats internally handled within Top.gg and not provided through an API endpoint

with webhooks, you can track that yourself after handling it on your end

[drowsy spruce]

oh so then there's no specific time when u can vote again

and its every 12 hours

yes?

[rain heart]

Users can vote every 12 hours

yes

the cooldown to vote is 12 hours

[drowsy spruce]

i see

cuz some site has like

certain time when u can vote again

anyways thanks

[rain heart]

Yup not a thing on Top.gg. If you would want something like that, https://feedback.top.gg

though its easier and more reliable to track that on your end

[drowsy spruce]

aight

[austere portal]

How can I see how many votes the bot has through the api?

[boreal totem]

Does botblocks API still work with top.gg?

[lapis maple]

what should i put in the Webhook URL in https://top.gg/bot/BOT_ID/webhooks?

[tidal idol]

@floral shoal what coding language is your bot?

[floral shoal]

python

[tidal idol]

https://docs.top.gg/libraries/python/

then scroll down and find "Webhook"

[floral shoal]

ok

still doesnt have any idea @tidal idol

[tidal idol]

Then I'd recommend https://webhook-topgg.com

which doesn't require coding at all

[floral shoal]

okok thanks

[smoky marten]

fetch your bot's info using the endpoint https://top.gg/api/bots/:bot_id and ise the points or monthlyPoints

[austere portal]

Ty

[long grotto]

so I post my bot (Ami)'s server count, it shows 4k but its 20k, would I just do the same thing I do to fetch all guilds throughout clusters to post that way, or is there one made for that already? (add ping if you reply, notis are off)

[floral shoal]

@tidal idol

maybe i will stick back to api

;-;

[floral shoal]

indian guy on youtube solves my problem

[vestal current]

@tidal idol

I want a ksoftapi

[tidal idol]

Ksoft is dead

[restive otter]

bro finna scam you

[floral shoal]

?

[tidal idol]

Alrighty - if you still need any help, let me know

[tidal idol]

Try keep this chat on topic

[floral shoal]

np

[upper ridge]

You have to use the API to post your bots server count #topgg-api
how?
#support message

Really waste of time, top.gg can do this automatically instead of us 🤔

[smoky marten]

Yea just provide your bot token and all discord credentials and update them every time you regenerate your token
seems easy

[restive otter]

its not waste of time, since you are an also autocode user, imagine other people using the competitor of top.gg and they need to link their bot to autocode just for bot stats

[upper ridge]

I don't want to create a new js file for the api of top.gg , I think you know what I mean

[rain heart]

Because

• ratelimits
• not officially supported by the API
• only way is scraping, which would be against tos

So the better solution is for users to post the stats themselves and have us moderate users who falsely post their server stats.

To note, you're not required to post your servercount if you do not wish to go that length

[upper ridge]

what is scraping?

[rain heart]

Reading content off a website instead of using an API

https://www.myrasecurity.com/en/what-is-web-scraping/#:~:text=The term web scraping describes,abusive methods of web scraping.

[upper ridge]

OK, I give up doing superfluous things.

[true dagger]

Hi, I'm confused do we need the Authorization header for the 'Individual User Vote' endpoint ?

[rain heart]

Yes. Interacting with the API at all requires the Authorization header to contain your bots Top.gg API token.

Should also be reflected within the docs that it applies to the API entirely iirc

[true dagger]

Alright but why can I access throw my web browser ?

[rain heart]

You're logged in through your Top.gg account. It uses your user token to test out certain endpoints

[true dagger]

oooooooh ok I get it lmao thanks

After having voted, when the voted value of the endpoint will return 0 ? I mean like 24h after having voted ?

[rain heart]

A user can re-vote every 12 hours, so it should return back to 0 once it has been 12 hours from the point of voting

[true dagger]

Hum okay, sounds good. Thanks again

[vestal hazel]

am i right

[rain heart]

reset your api token

dont publicly post it

[vestal hazel]

wait i think i hid it

my bad

i didnt

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client();

const { AutoPoster } = require('topgg-autoposter')

const poster = AutoPoster('topgg token', client) // your discord.js or eris client

// optional
poster.on('posted', (stats) => { // ran when succesfully posted
  console.log(`Posted stats to Top.gg | ${stats.serverCount} servers`)
})

is this right?

[jaunty plank]

looks right to me

[vestal hazel]

ah okay, for me this cjs/loader issue is annoying me

[dire imp]

is it possible to connect to top.gg lib using dev bot?

[rain heart]

sure, you'll need to use the token provided on your main bot

[dire imp]

ok thanks!

[floral shoal]

its not working again

can i define message in here

[sullen nymph]

What message are you trying to get?

[floral shoal]

im trying to make a vote detector

when someone vote i will get a msg from webhook in channel with id 970895283250675813

[floral shoal]

then this thing should get the user's id and give them reward

this is an rpg bot

and i save progresses with userid+itemname for example 0123456789helmet

[sullen nymph]

Then just

Get the channel? With bot.get_channel

[restive otter]

@sullen nymph can u help me in #development

i just came back

to torcher you guys

With questions

[sullen nymph]

You just send a message, not work with an existing one. Create a webhook object or get one from wherever and make it send a message.

Off-topic advice: just set the role ID in your if-statements and then use that as the argument for add_roles.

Don't process commands in that event because that's absolutely fucking irrelevant if you use common sense

Also, you're overwriting the data variable, which literally contains the vote data. You'll find the user's ID there

[boreal totem]

Does top.gg still work with botblocks.org?

[rain heart]

You'll need to try out

[floral shoal]

?

i dont quite understand

[sullen nymph]

you have data

[floral shoal]

what data

[sullen nymph]

And then you create variable with the same name

As in the parameter data in the function arguments

[floral shoal]

which variable

i dont quite understand

im smol brain

[sullen fox]

Not sure what should go here

[floral shoal]

which website are u using

for webhook

[heavy crater]

what's this error?

[jaunty plank]

looks like a dns request failed, which can happen for a variety of reasons.
looking up the error, it could be related to network issues(on your end probably), docker, firebase, or anything that could block dns queries.

[heavy crater]

Thanks!

[restive otter]

const user = await client.users.fetch(vote.user) then get user.tag or whatever

[jaunty plank]

Async goes before the function declaration.
async vote => {

[restive otter]

As woo said async (vote) => {

[sullen fox]

const Topgg = require("@top-gg/sdk")
const express = require("express")

const app = express()

const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook("my auth")

app.post("/dblwebhook", webhook.listener(vote => {
    
  console.log(vote.user) 

}))

app.listen(8080)
``` code was broken when listener was on 80 (im hosting on heroku) so i changed it to 8080. whenever i send a test vote through the console.log doesnt run

[sullen fox]

i dont have env files set up

ok. put that in the listener?

will the 3000 be what runs if im on local?

still nothing being logged. but no error now tho

like the webhook works and everything, even sends to the channel in discord

but i cant log the user to give them something

[jaunty plank]

are you by chance using a third party to send that message?
like vote tracker

[sullen fox]

https://webhook-topgg.com

@jaunty plank

[jaunty plank]

you cannot use both that and this at the same time

topgg only sends one webhook at a time

[sullen fox]

so is there any way to log the user then?

im not sure how to set up my own webhook

@jaunty plank any good sources?

[jaunty plank]

what are you using to host your webhook?

[sullen fox]

Heroku is for my bot... the webhook idk i just used that website originally

i rlly dont know much about webhooks and how to host/set oneup

[jaunty plank]

when using heroku, not really any good guides.
youll probably want to take some time to learn how web dynos work within heroku.
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos#dyno-configurations

then youll also want to read and understand
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos#local-environment-variables

also
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/deploying-nodejs

[earnest burrow]

How do I make a test vote on top.gg?

[distant oak]

By pressing the test button

Go to https://top.gg/bot/botid/webhooks and press the "Send Test" button

[raw pike]

Where can i get botid?

[rain heart]

Botid is as the name suggests, your bots user id

[raw pike]

Oh , thank you

[long grotto]

So I am attempting to semi rewrite the topgg api so it will grab all my guilds for my bot (since its being clustered) -- where is this located on the GH for python? await self.dblpy.post_guild_count()
Attempting to semi rewrite it like I said, I have a little code that returns all guilds from clusters but I am not sure if I could just use some other code to fill that in?
(If you reply, use a ping as I won't see it most likely :/)

I do have this

        async with aiohttp.ClientSession(headers=auth) as session:
            myobj = {'server_count': f'{len(self.bot.guilds)}'}``` from another bot but I am not sure if I could just specify something in there replacing the len and do that?

actually imma just tias

[sullen nymph]

dblpy there refers to the class DBLClient in client.py

[long grotto]

hm, seems like ill have to rewrite this then completely post wise for it to get all of the guilds from our cluster ipc..

[sullen nymph]

Sure thing, have fun

[long grotto]

i wont, its a pain

[sullen nymph]

Good luck in any case, try to stay sane

[spare apex]

Hi, I'm using the top.gg autoposter but when it wants to post I get this error, does anyone know how to fix this? My code is also in the attachments

Oh wait

Nvm

I see it xd

I didn't change the "Your Top.gg Token"

Where can I get my top.gg token?

Found it ig

[long grotto]

your bots webhook page

[snow herald]

topgg stopped sending vote events, nothing changed on our end

wondering if similar case happened before

[rain heart]

Check your error logs, also make sure your webhook still works

Also, what server id

[snow herald]

server id?

can I DM u?

[snow herald]

I see in the latest @top-gg/sdk middleware() has been deprecated - could it have caused the issue?

[snow herald]

nvm fixed it :/

[young acorn]

in top gg api, bot lookup, what is certifiedBot for?

[sullen nymph]

Non-existent certification system

[rain heart]

and there for legacy reasons and due to some bots still having certification on them

[slow copper]

I'm getting intermittent timeouts on the stats endpoint, is this a known thing?

[rain heart]

Shouldn't happen atm

What timeouts though, Cloudflare?

[restive otter]

docs just went down for me

and it's.. back? but really slow

and gone again

Im trying to post my bot's server count, but I'm getting a 404:

Client error '404 Not Found' for url 'https://top.gg/api/bot/823533449717481492/stats'

[rain heart]

/bots/

not /bot/

[restive otter]

oops, thanks

[rain heart]

and docs seem to be up for me

[restive otter]

yea it seems to be back, no idea what just happened

[rain heart]

Probably just a hiccup of the site

[restive otter]

thanks, it's working now

[cobalt robin]

api down?

[rain heart]

please refer to the message in #support

[willow sphinx]

seems like it was an issue with netlify

[barren forge]

The vote webhook logs a vote multiple times

Is there a problem with topgg?

[rain heart]

Check the docs about "retrial"

[old kernel]

how can i know all properties come on from topggapi

like hasVoted

[old kernel]

Can you tell me

[rain heart]

By reading the docs under https://docs.top.gg

[tidal idol]

Specifically https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/#acknowledgement

[old kernel]

Can we know the time when user is voted

or what will be the next time for voting

[tidal idol]

Just get the unix timestamp of when they voted and add 43200 (12 hours), that’s the timestamp they can vote again

[kind basalt]

This api is used to create welcomes for discord bots

[plucky lance]

No the API can be used to track user votes (on top.gg)

[kind basalt]

oh too bad i need a welcome api urgently if you know of one please let me know in dm

[smoky marten]

just use the webhook

https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/

[plucky lance]

i need a welcome api

[smoky marten]

He can figure it out

*They

[plucky lance]

The topgg API isn't a "welcome API"

He wants to send welcome messages not tracking votes if I understood him right

[smoky marten]

Now I think about it
I was actually gonna reply to this

[plucky lance]

lmao

[old kernel]

They dont give this propertie

idk why?

but it can be a good

thing for top gg api

[smoky marten]

When you receive the vote is pretty much considered the time
(On webhook)

[jaunty plank]

[nimble burrow]

Getting this error on python: AttributeError: type object 'topgg' has no attribute 'DBLClient'
Just copied the example from https://docs.top.gg/libraries/python/

ok

[nimble burrow]

I still get the same error

[sullen nymph]

What the fuck

Well that's interesting. Try printing topgg

[nimble burrow]

my fault.. I didnt realise that my cog class was called topgg too

[raven gorge]

how to use topggpy lib i need notification when someone vote but can't do that

[novel knot]

Hi

[smoky marten]

you can either set up a vote webhook yourself (https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks)
or you can use the https://webhook-topgg.com if you don't know how to code

[raven gorge]

how can test my webhook i am a python programmer

[rain heart]

Using postman or any other request client

[covert wraith]

hi how can i get the vote data for servers without my bot being on topgg?

private bots for the designated server

[rain heart]

You need an approved bot on the site to use the API

There's no other reason to use the API apart from using search

[merry vapor]

How can I use javascript to get info from top.gg?

For example the name of a bot from it's ID?

[silver bolt]

how can I get how much monthly votes a server gets?

Is there even an endpoint for servers?

[jaunty plank]

we do not have an endpoint for servers no

The best method that exists is tracking it using webhooks

[silver bolt]

Thats a shame.. thanks anyways 🙂

[balmy hedge]

How can I fix it?

[rain heart]

Have you provided authorization through the header?

[restive otter]

no update in #site-status

[rain heart]

Now that's something we're aware, check #support

[restive otter]

alr

[balmy hedge]

Oh, nevermind, I fixed it

[merry vapor]

Do I have to use a verified bot's ID as a token? Because I get "you need a token for this endpoint" errors

Although I provided the token

const API = new topgg.Api(`${Id}`);

Please ignore weird capitalisation I'm on mobile currently

[rain heart]

You need the API token from an approved bot on topgg

https://docs.top.gg

[merry vapor]

Tnx

[rotund fable]

Hi

am adding the vote rewards for my bot

and am referring the docs

but

# This example uses topggpy's webhook system.
bot.topgg_webhook = topgg.WebhookManager(bot).dbl_webhook("/dblwebhook", "password")

# The port must be a number between 1024 and 49151.
bot.topgg_webhook.run(5000)  # this method can be awaited as well

I can't understand this particular code

can someone help me out?

oh wait wrong part

if data["type"] == "test":
        # this is roughly equivalent to
        # `return await on_dbl_test(data)` in this case
        return bot.dispatch("dbl_test", data)

    print(f"Received a vote:\n{data}")

This

what does it mean by return bot.dispatch(...)?

[rotund fable]

okay uhm I copied and pasted the code

but it isn't giving any logs for a vote

any ideas which could be wrong?

also the webhook test on topgg website, my bot dont respond

[tidal idol]

port 1210 is already in use

by something

maybe you already have a code instance running?

[restive otter]

no i dont i checked it

[tidal idol]

Try changing the port then

[restive otter]

must it be the port of my server?

[tidal idol]

Where are you hosting this

[restive otter]

at a pterodactyl panel

[tidal idol]

Ah

[restive otter]

[tidal idol]

Does the Pterodactyl IP show an IP and port like https://capy-cdn.xyz/ZGTgmM16a3PH.png

[restive otter]

yes

[tidal idol]

And 1210 is that port?

[restive otter]

yes

[tidal idol]

Then in this case please contact your hosting provider, as they will need to look into what is being used on that port.

[restive otter]

ok thanks

[solid linden]

Can anyone help me two grow my bot??

[restive otter]

ok thanks but the code is fine or?

[tidal idol]

Yeah

[tidal idol]

Not the place to ask

[restive otter]

ok thanks a lot man

How do I set my own webhook up so I can log the IDs of voters?
Currently I'm using an api website that just sends a message embed with a webhook inside of it. but i dont want that, i'd rather gather the information in my b ot so i can setup certain perks and stuff. then I can send a message to thank them if i want through that

[rotund fable]

Can someone help me here?

[rotund fable]

my code:

bot.topgg_webhook = topgg.WebhookManager(bot).dbl_webhook("/my_webhook_token_here", "my_webhook_password_here")

async def on_dbl_vote(data):
    """An event that is called whenever someone votes for the bot on Top.gg."""
    if data["type"] == "test":

Please ping me while helping :D

Installation and Project Setup:

• You should have NodeJS installed (I guess version 14 or newer should work)
• Create a new folder and open your terminal (On vscode click Ctrl + `)
• Initialize an empty project with npm init -y
• Install the required libraries with ```bash
  npm i express @top-gg/sdk

Optional

npm i dotenv

**Write the code:**
Create a new file called `index.js`  and put this code there
```js
const Topgg = require("@top-gg/sdk")
const express = require("express")

const app = express()

// Put your top.gg webhook auth here
// NOT YOUR BOT TOKEN or TOPGG TOKEN
const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook("A_RANDOM_PASSWORD")

app.post("/topgg", webhook.listener(vote => {
    console.log(vote.user)
    // Vote.user is the id of the user who voted.
    // Use this to fetch the user or do whatever you want not my problem
    // See it here https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/#data-format
}))

// Specify your port (Must be an unused port)
app.listen(6969)

Auth Setup

• Head over to your bot's / server's dashboard
• Move to the webhooks page https://top.gg/bot/(YOUR_BOT_ID_HERE)/webhooks
• In the Authentication field put A_RANDOM_PASSWORD or whatever you put instead of it in your code
• In the Webhook URL field put something like http://YOUR_IP_HERE:YOUR_PORT/your_route Example http://8.8.8.8:6969/topgg/
• Click on Test Webhook

If everything is okay you should see something log into your console that looks more like a discord user id

How To Get Your IP
Run ipconfig on Windows or ifconfig on Linux There are some other tools but the easiest way is to google What is my public IP address

Firewalls
Make sure your firewalls don't block requests from this IP address 159.203.105.187

[sullen nymph]

Pain

I really don't get how you understood a path as a webhook token

#topgg-api message

[rotund fable]

then I where should I put the token?

[sullen nymph]

What token?

Do you mean Discord webhooks?

[rotund fable]

no not that

Top.gg Webhook token

[rotund fable]

also should it look like this? py bot.topgg_webhook = topgg.WebhookManager(bot).dbl_webhook("/dblwebhook", "my_webhook_password_here")

[sullen nymph]

Yes that makes more sense

[rotund fable]

so, I just leave it as /dblwebhook?

no changes?

and what about the password?

[sullen nymph]

That it set it to / if you wanna refer to your VPS as http://x.x.x.x:xxxx/

[rotund fable]

I do use a server, but it has a common IP, so should I do that?

common IP in the sense, other people also have their server on that ip

[sullen nymph]

It's fine as long as you have your own dedicated port ig

[rotund fable]

hmm,

I use ptero

[sullen nymph]

So long as you have your port available

[sullen fox]

Do I create a new folder and everything even if my bot already exists? Probably an obvious question but wondering

[smoky marten]

no
just put the code iin any file and initialize the server from the main file

[sullen fox]

What is my route?

I know how to get my IP… and my port (im pretty sure) but confused on route

[smoky marten]

whatever you put in your code
If you put

app.post("/topgg", ......

it's /topgg

if you put

app.post("/boooooooooooooooo", ........

it's/boooooooooooooooo

[rotund fable]

I did this

it doesn't give the error

but it doesn't notify me on vote as well

[vestal hazel]

const { AutoPoster } = require('topgg-autoposter')

const ap = AutoPoster('topgg token', client)

ap.on('posted', () => {
  console.log('Posted stats to Top.gg!')
})

Is this right?

it is giving me an error

[sullen nymph]

DM me what you entered on the website and your code related to the webhook

[rotund fable]

Okay

[rotund fable]

I gotta add u as friend first

[jaunty plank]

What error?

[junior sage]

For the user check request, does 0 mean not voted and 1 means that the user did vote?

[jaunty plank]

yeah

[sullen fox]

Sorry for pinging you again but: when i use heroku my process.env.PORT changes every time i restart the bot, so i don't know what to do with the link on top.gg

oh theyre offline

[jaunty plank]

using heroku or replit?
heroku's port changes every time the process starts, the url you use can be static however

[sullen fox]

heroku

i know the port changes every time which is why i didnt know what to do with the URL

if the port is in the URL but the port is wrong every time, how do i get around that

[jaunty plank]

https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains#summary-of-steps

the url you want to use is explained in the first paragraph, heroku urls dont need to include a port

they just use the standard 443 port externally every time, while internally they use process.env.PORT

[sullen fox]

By default, a Heroku app is available at its Heroku domain, which has the form [name of app].herokuapp.com. For example, an app named serene-example-4269 is hosted at serene-example-4269.herokuapp.com.
``` in here?

[jaunty plank]

yep

[sullen fox]

alr

but what do i do with that link exactly

does it replace the port in my webhook url?

[jaunty plank]

nope

its the external link topgg can use to reach your heroku process

thats its only purpose, to be an external way for users or services to reach it.

[sullen fox]

how do i tell topgg to look for that

also even when im running locally sending test webhooks doesnt work

[jaunty plank]

it wont work until you give topgg the url to your local testing environment or heroku.
https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/#getting-started

[sullen fox]

https://<my ip>:<port i use to listen>/topgg
```heres my webhook url... and here's the code


```js
const Topgg = require("@top-gg/sdk")
const express = require("express")

const app = express()

const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook("my auth right here")


app.post("/topgg", webhook.listener(vote => {

    console.log(`${vote.user} just voted`)

}))

[jaunty plank]

https wont work on a local server

http://<my ip>:<port i use to listen>/topgg

http is used instead

youll also need to port forward on your router

[sullen fox]

no idea how to do that lol

assuming if i just let this all happen on herokus side i dont have to do that

[jaunty plank]

yeah, I generally recommend avoid testing from home and using a server or heroku instead.
heroku provides the open port

[sullen fox]

ok so i cant use the link like that with heroku though. you showed me how to get the link to my heroku project, but i read the links to the docs u sent and still dont know where to put it

if i show that link here no one can use it for anything weird, right. its just the name of my project then herokuapp.com

i put my heroku link in Webhook URL and htis is logging

it sends this error very 10 seconds or so

[jaunty plank]

looks like you're not using web dyno's

[sullen fox]

im not no

[jaunty plank]

I cant really help much with that. Heroku web dynos are specific to Heroku and I don't use Heroku.
heres the docs for process types.
https://www.heroku.com/dynos/configure
&
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/dynos#dyno-configurations

[restive otter]

uh

can you setup the api for server votes?

[sullen fox]

I have the web dyno set up, but it's default is npm start. any idea what it would need to be do listen to webhooks?

not sure if that would be consistent with what you're using

[jaunty plank]

if the web dyno starts it should start listening right away.

[jaunty plank]

servers dont have an api, but they do have webhooks.

[restive otter]

ok but my webhook not working

[jaunty plank]

are you using a discord webhook? topgg webhooks do not work with discord webhooks

[sullen fox]

“Start” doesn’t exist. It’s just the default process for the web dyno

I tried just setting it to node bot.js, then I get no error until topgg sends something then the web dyno crashes

[restive otter]

ohh

ok

how do i set that up

[jaunty plank]

https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/

[jaunty plank]

crashes with what error?

[sullen fox]

Just went downstairs to eat but pretty sure it just said “App crashed”

Give me a min I’ll look

``` makes sense cuz its just running my bot

[jaunty plank]

webhooks are a web process

the error is you have no web dyno running.

i had the web thing turned off like an idiot

the only problem is that since im running node bot.js in my worker and in my web, now it's running twice

ill disable the worker for now

[jaunty plank]

404 error?
does your url have the path set on top.gg

https://YourHerokuUrl/topgg

[restive otter]

what do i put in Authorization?

[sullen fox]

Just fixed forgot to add the topgg

works now finally

holy

i hate webhooks

[jaunty plank]

heroku is a pain

[sullen fox]

yea

but its free and we love that

[jaunty plank]

iirc heroku will stop with web dyno after awhile of not getting requests.

[sullen fox]

i have my code run something every 10 minutes to make sure it doesnt

[jaunty plank]

whatever you check for in the authorization header

[sullen fox]

is there a way to check if a user has voted within the last 12 hours (im not sure how long the cooldown is for voting) when they run a command?

[jaunty plank]

generally speaking we recommend storing that information in a database, but we do have that just be careful with ratelimits(cache the information).

Hi,Can someone send me the stats update api

[vestal hazel]

https://docs.top.gg/

read the documentation

[hoary iron]

Ooo

[hoary iron]

Thanks.

[tribal crag]

the webhook doesnt work, idk

no stats will be posted and no votes will be registered

the settings in the top.gg interface are correct

[tidal idol]

make sure port 60 is open

[chrome plaza]

Is this normal? webhook listener firing multiple data? that's make some users gain multiple rewards as well though.

[tidal idol]

Do you send a response to the post request

[chrome plaza]

Unfortunately no, currently i just listen them and directly add with redis stuff

[tidal idol]

you should reply

otherwise it repeats the request

https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/#acknowledgement

even just sending the word "ok" is fine

[chrome plaza]

Yeah, i just realized recently, so it is working as expected

[winter raft]

Hey, Why is this a bad request?
(please ping me if you can help)

[plucky lance]

You can’t post an object as body

Stringify the object

[acoustic bough]

Hi, I want to fetch discord servers data with specified tag via api. How can I do this?

[rain heart]

Top.gg/servers does not have an API to use for that

[cerulean heath]

When will there be a server data API endpoints

[tidal idol]

out of curiousity, what sort of data are you expecting to be returned from a server endpoint?

[restive otter]

hello api

[tidal idol]

?

[earnest burrow]

bot.topgg_webhook = topgg.WebhookManager(bot).dbl_webhook('/dblwebhook', os.environ['api'])
bot.topgg_webhook.run(5000)

@bot.event
async def on_dbl_vote(data):
    print(f'Received a vote:\n{data}')

@bot.event
async def on_dbl_test(data):
    print(f'Recieved a test vote:\n{data}')

I have this, but it isn't printing something when I vote

and of course i defined my bot and did bot.run

[jaunty plank]

did you fill in your url and auth on top.gg?

https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/#getting-started

[earnest burrow]

wdym

[jaunty plank]

you're using a webhook, webhook messages are sent via http/https

[earnest burrow]

Thanks I'll head there

@jaunty plank I put in the auth but what URL should i put?

[jaunty plank]

It depends on your host
If your host provides an ip, and you do not have a domain.
http://YourServerIp:5000/dblwebhook
If your host provides a subdomain
YourProjectURL/dblwebhook

[earnest burrow]

How do I get the Server IP

[jaunty plank]

It will depend on your host, If you cant find it on your own I'd suggest contacting their support.

[tidal idol]

How do you host your bot?

[earnest burrow]

On my PC

[jaunty plank]

Just google "what's my ip" with all vpns and proxies off.
It will tell you your ip, you'll also need to port forward at home

[earnest burrow]

so I put http://ip:5000/dblwebhook in the settings of the bot and /dblwebhook in the code?

[jaunty plank]

Your code doesnt need to change at all from what you gave earlier.
You already set /dblwebhook
https://i.imgur.com/2WMvIa5.png

[earnest burrow]

OK

So i do this right?

[jaunty plank]

yeah, then your authorization would be whatever is in the api env variable
https://i.imgur.com/taD0Pq3.png

then you just need to port forward.
Heres a really good video explaining what port forwarding is.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOZQppVNGvA

and here is a list of guides for portforwarding various routers
https://portforward.com/router.htm

[sullen nymph]

lmao that thumbnail

[jaunty plank]

ltt at it again.
its a really good video explaining what it is in a quick format.

Maybe I can convince ltt to make one on what a webhook is 👀

Would solve a lot of confusion

[earnest burrow]

what if i cant do that??

[jaunty plank]

Then you cannot use webhooks at home.
You'll need to use a hosting provider

[earnest burrow]

im also using replit

[jaunty plank]

https://docs.replit.com/hosting/deploying-http-servers

[earnest burrow]

bro i did this and i sent a test but it STILL is not printing the votes

[jaunty plank]

you filled in the authorization correct?

also, saved before testing

[earnest burrow]

yoooooo thanks everyone!!!

I solved it!

[fallow tartan]

anyone know how I can fetch vote count? I wanna add it to my bot's stats when a cmd is ran

I'm experienced with axios & fetching, I'm just curious

or do I have to just https://top.gg/api/bots/[id]/votes and just count how many listing there are

[rain heart]

the bot endpoint has it, just make a get request to your own bot

[fallow tartan]

Yeah I just saw

[gloomy remnant]

Hi! I'm trying to receive webhooks from top.gg but idk if the api sends any information about the user who has voted.

I tried to console log params, query and body, and all said undefined

how can i get the topgg api key?

not the most efficient just a simple adaption of a post request I found on stack overflow to work for posting Top.GG bot statistics

xD understandable

[restive otter]

So how does top.gg get the server count from the client ID?

[rain heart]

it doesn't, it is provided by the devs

[delicate estuary]

why is my bot's stat not updating when i sent requests like once every hour

[dim kettle]

It does take some time for cache to clear. How far behind are the numbers lagging?

[delicate estuary]

like its stuck at 0

the bot was approved a few days ago

[rain heart]

there are no instances of you posting your servercount to our site

please note that it is not done automatically, if you wish to display your bots servercount on top.gg, you'll need to post it yourself

https://docs.top.gg

[rough bough]

i need chat bot api

[dim kettle]

This channel is to get help with the top.gg api. If you need help with developing your bot, you can ask in #development

[rough bough]

ok sir

[vestal hazel]

finally got bot stats working

[dim kettle]

That’s great news! Let us know if you need help with anything else 😊

[vestal hazel]

alrighty

and actually I made a github repo for this...I have defined intents and client directly and made it, is this okay? I mean I will put a disclaimer that I am no way affiliated with top.gg nor the api

i have also linked the top.gg documentation page

[dim kettle]

Yeah that’s completely fine 👌

[tidal idol]

is that different to @top-gg/sdk?

dblpy

should I use topggpy?

What the fuck

Where did you find that I wonder 🤣

lol

[sullen nymph]

Yes. topggpy is the newer package

idk, is topggpy new?

this is some old code im running

nice

Indeed it is. dblpy was deprecated at 0.4 and topggpy at 2.0a

[thick bobcat]

oh

so... this should do it?

        try:
            await self.client.topgg.post_guild_count()
            print(f'Posted server count ({self.client.topgg.guild_count})')
        except Exception as e:
            print('Failed to post server count\n{}: {}'.format(type(e).__name__, e))

[sullen nymph]

Should

[thick bobcat]

it wont update 🤔

I guess it takes some time

[sullen nymph]

Did the console show anything?

[thick bobcat]

yes

Posted server count (213)

[restive otter]

wait™

[thick bobcat]

what?

[abstract moth]

The issue you're experiencing is due to server-side caching. Please wait for up to 1 hour for site cache to clear before trying again. You may also need to clear your browser cache.

[restive otter]

ty wee woo

[thick bobcat]

So if another person enters the website it should be updated?

[restive otter]

ballsack

[sullen nymph]

Then give it up to around 30 minutes or an hour

[restive otter]

ballsak

[sullen nymph]

Probably just Top.gg cache showing the old value

[thick bobcat]

ok, thanks!

[sullen nymph]

👍

[thick bobcat]

It updated, thanks again

[spice coral]

Can someone help me setup the vote tracker bot. I need to put in a link into the webhooks but all the videos are back when the old top.gg was a thing.

[jaunty plank]

hey. itll be on your bot or server page, click "edit"
then on the left side bar click "Webhooks"
https://i.imgur.com/h1PVkHF.png

[spice coral]

Ok, thank you!

[spice coral]

One more question, why i go to add a role reward, it won't let me add any role other than @ everyone or none.

idk what to do

[jaunty plank]

on topgg? or vote tracker

[spice coral]

top.gg

[jaunty plank]

does the topgg bot have permission to give those roles?

[spice coral]

wait nvm it worked for some reason lmao

[jaunty plank]

ok

[spice coral]

So I went on my alt to test if i could vote and it keeps sending me to a page that is not responsive.

nvm got it to work

[earnest burrow]

I just updated to discord 2.0 and when i am initializing the webhook i get this error: AttributeError: loop attribute cannot be accessed in non-async contexts. Consider using either an asynchronous main function and passing it to asyncio.run or using asynchronous initialisation hooks such as Client.setup_hook

[merry vapor]

Add async to everything

[sullen nymph]

Ah yes the good ol' fuck you from Python async

If anyone feels like PRing a fix for it you're more than welcome to I reckon

[earnest burrow]

its an error from discord.py not topgg

[merry vapor]

Yes I saw it

[earnest burrow]

This?

@merry vapor

[merry vapor]

No, I meant I saw it in the error log

[earnest burrow]

so what should i add to the code?

[merry vapor]

I'm not very very sure because python isn't my thing

[earnest burrow]

Ok

[misty dove]

I'll try to make a vote reward in discord.py but nothing happends
what i must fill into this?
client.topgg_webhook = topgg.WebhookManager(client).dbl_webhook("/dblwebhook", "password")

[stoic storm]

your bot client is "client" and change "password" to the password you set in your settings.

[misty dove]

Full code:

client.topgg_webhook.run(5000)

@client.event
async def on_dbl_vote(data):
    """An event that is called whenever someone votes for the bot on Top.gg."""
    if data["type"] == "test":
        # this is roughly equivalent to
        # `return await on_dbl_test(data)` in this case
        return client.dispatch("dbl_test", data)

    print(f"Received a vote:\n{data}")

@client.event
async def on_dbl_test(data):
    """An event that is called whenever someone tests the webhook system for your bot on Top.gg."""
    print(f"Received a test vote:\n{data}")```

[stoic storm]

Also if you're testing this on a local computer, you will probably have to do some port forwarding.

[misty dove]

oh okay

[misty dove]

wich settings?

[stoic storm]

If you've never done it before, research it a bit. It's pretty easy. You'll just use top.gg's IP address on port 5000 on your router.

[misty dove]

I do this on my hosting server but still doesn't work

[rain heart]

have you changed the webhook settings on top.gg aswell?

[ashen moss]

Can someone help me, when I visit the API url for bot info on my browser, I get json data, but when I try using code I made using node-fetch, I get 401

[rain heart]

You're not providing authorization

[ashen moss]

where do I get an authorization token?

because when I type it directly into my browser

it works

and atleast not that I know of, browsers dont let you set the headers and stuff

so how is my browser authorized?

ah nvm I figured out why I kept getting 401, but im still kinda confused how my browser can send API requests without any tokens

[rain heart]

Because you're authorized as a user

Which allows you to test endpoints without providing an API token

https://docs.top.gg

[primal prawn]

Sorry but I don't understand how to check if someone voted my bot

With the bot

[glossy jetty]

how do i make it so that i can send the updates that i written into a server channel?

[rain heart]

Read the docs linked above, same for @glossy jetty

[glossy jetty]

i did tho

didn't make any sense

and it didn't work

[primal prawn]

This one?

[primal prawn]

What snowflake means?

[glossy jetty]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RU-urn3bK84 i found this

idk if its gonna help or not

but ima see and ill tell you

[primal prawn]

Ok thanks

[glossy jetty]

it kinda works

[primal prawn]

this create webhooks for servers

but what if I want to know if someone voted my bot?

[jaunty plank]

Like receiving the vote in your bots code?

https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/

[primal prawn]

yes

[jaunty plank]

The above link is for webhooks, the webhook can be sent to your bot.

[primal prawn]

but what must I put on code?

also what is the token user for?

[jaunty plank]

It depends on your programming language.

The authorization for a webhook is how you verify webhook requests come from topgg.

[primal prawn]

I found the exhample code here: https://topgg.js.org/#webhook-server but I don't understand this part: const app = express()

[jaunty plank]

Express is the webserver for the webhook

[primal prawn]

so what must I put inside the ()?

[jaunty plank]

Nothing, its just a constructor.

[primal prawn]

why I get this error than:
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:936
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module 'express'

[jaunty plank]

Express needs to be installed.

https://www.npmjs.com/package/express

[primal prawn]

oh yeah now it works

[primal prawn]

now I have done this:
app.post("/dblwebhook", webhook.listener(vote => {
// vote will be your vote object, e.g
votes.push(vote.user);
console.log(vote.user); // 395526710101278721 < user who voted
console.log(votes);

// You can also throw an error to the listener callback in order to resend the webhook after a few seconds

}))
but I see nothing in the terminal

I did send test to test

[jaunty plank]

Did you read the above link?

And follow it

Ie the webhook url and auth need to be filled in with the url to your bots server + the path to your webhook, and auth you set in code?

[primal prawn]

you mean this? const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook('topggauth123') // add your Top.gg webhook authorization (not bot token)

I put the auth link that your site gives

[jaunty plank]

Topgg doesn't provide you a webhook auth

You provide topgg your webhooks auth.

You fill it in on your bot or servers edit page

[primal prawn]

i did that

[jaunty plank]

In the webhook section

Did you fill in the url?

It will not be a discord webhook url

[primal prawn]

I put the one I found on webhook-topgg.com

[jaunty plank]

Webhook-topgg cannot be used at the same time as your own webhook.

[primal prawn]

wdym?

[jaunty plank]

Topgg can only send webhooks to one place at a time.

Right now you're sending it to webhook-topgg.com not your bot.

[primal prawn]

but how do I get the bot auth link then

[primal prawn]

They say to put an auth but idk where can I find it, is it the bot auth?

[plucky lance]

The authentication is a password you can choose (or not)

On topgg when editing the webhook's target

[primal prawn]

ok, and the webhook url?

[plucky lance]

that's your endpoint

where do you host the webhook listener?

a server, at home, ...?

[primal prawn]

heroku

I don't think I can have the IP of my app

[plucky lance]

topgg sends a webhook request to you, like how you would get mail

iirc your project does have a hostname

you don't need an IP

[primal prawn]

it has

[plucky lance]

that's part of the URL you enter on topgg then

• the path (and optionally the port)

the path is the one you defined in your code

by default you're listening to yourdomain.com/dblwebhook if I'm not wrong

[primal prawn]

yes

[plucky lance]

well then you already got anything you need

I'm not sure how your platform deals with ports but you can test it out

build the URL, http://your-project-name.com/dblwebhook or if the webhook listener (webserver) is running on a specific port then it's http://your-project-name.com:port/dblwebhook

[primal prawn]

you know... maybe heroku have a feature for webhooks actually

[plucky lance]

Idk

[primal prawn]

node:events:505

[rain heart]

different port, 80 is privileged

[plucky lance]

Yeah port 80 is the webserver of your platform

[primal prawn]

how tho get the port?

the correct port

[plucky lance]

You choose a port

[rain heart]

use something above 1024

[plucky lance]

Actually you should use something over 3000 or 5000 as the number of reserved ports for apps and services has massively increased the last years

[primal prawn]

I'll do some tests

[plucky lance]

It doesn’t really matter tho

[primal prawn]

no error this time

[plucky lance]

Just pick 5000 for example

Or 3005

Whatever you like

Add the port the url when entering it on topgg

Not sure how and if heroku resolves it

You will see

Make sure to always hit the save button on topgg before hitting the test button

Then check your webserver logs on heroku if a request has been made if such a thing exists

[primal prawn]

at=error code=H14 desc="No web processes running" method=POST path="/"

[primal prawn]

I get a path error

[plucky lance]

Did you start the app?

The webhook listener (webserver)

[primal prawn]

in heroku yes

dyno= connect= service= status=503 bytes= protocol=https

[plucky lance]

Errr also the path doesn’t seem to be right

[primal prawn]

app.post("/dblwebhook", webhook.listener(vote => {

[plucky lance]

What’s the url you entered on topgg (without your project name)?

[primal prawn]

https://name-app.herokuapp.com/

actually name and app was examples

[plucky lance]

Take a look on how I told you to do it

#topgg-api message

Also without using the secure protocol

[primal prawn]

I must add the /dblwebhook?

[plucky lance]

Yes if you’re listening to that path you need to tell topgg to send a request to that path, too

Plus add the port you selected on horuko

Like in my example

[primal prawn]

I selected a port?

[plucky lance]

The one you entered in the code

you told the express server to listen to port XX

app.listen(port);

[primal prawn]

app.post("/dblwebhook", webhook.listener(vote => {
let value = JSON.stringify({
})
console.log(vote.user)
fetch("CODE"), {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-type': 'application/json',
},
body: value
}
}))

[plucky lance]

Errr wut

Take a look at the example in the docs please

You can straight copy that JS example to get started in the beginning

[primal prawn]

app.post("/dblwebhook", webhook.listener(vote => {
console.log(vote.user);
}))

?

[plucky lance]

Yeah there’s more code around

Especially the line starting the server

app.listen(port);

[primal prawn]

So it was :5000

[primal prawn]

?

[plucky lance]

Which port did you choose?

[primal prawn]

5000

[plucky lance]

Ok this is the one you add to the url then

Then start the app on heroku

Then hit the save button on topgg, then hit test

[primal prawn]

so https://name-app.herokuapp.com:5000/dblwebhook

if I use fthis nothing happens

[plucky lance]

Also without using the secure protocol

[primal prawn]

oooh

[plucky lance]

Please if somebody is trying to help you, read the answers carefully

And like I said make sure the JS app is started on heroku

[primal prawn]

sorry, it's that it's difficult for me because i don't know english very well

[plucky lance]

Then ask if you didn’t understand something

Or ask a second time

That’s no problem

Does it work now with HTTP (not HTTPS)?

[primal prawn]

no

[plucky lance]

Ok then show the entire code on heroku please, and the url you entered on topgg

Or at least without your project name

And without topgg token

[primal prawn]

const Topgg = require("@top-gg/sdk");
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook("AUTH")

app.post("/dblwebhook", webhook.listener(vote => {
    console.log(vote.user);
}))

  
app.listen(5000)

wait

[plucky lance]

Err please use code blocks

I’m on mobile

code block

[primal prawn]

edited

[plucky lance]

Ok did you actually enter a password on topgg which is the AUTH?

Or not

[primal prawn]

yes

without the ""

[plucky lance]

Okay did heroku log anything?

In the webserver log

[primal prawn]

I'm restarting the app to make sure

[plucky lance]

Ok

[primal prawn]

2022-05-28T19:05:12.385989+00:00 app[worker.1]: bot online
2022-05-28T19:05:12.386021+00:00 app[worker.1]: Currently in 6 servers
2022-05-28T19:05:14.000000+00:00 app[api]: Build succeeded

I pressed the send test button, nothing showed up

[plucky lance]

I be right back in a few minutes

Need to take a shower real quick

[primal prawn]

ok

np

[plucky lance]

ok im back

[primal prawn]

hi

[plucky lance]

i dont know how heroku handles port forwarding

try to remove the port of the URL from topgg

http://name-app.herokuapp.com/dblwebhook

make sure the app is running before

and never forget

hit SAVE before using the TEST button

always

[primal prawn]

at=error code=H14 desc="No web processes running" method=POST path="/dblwebhook"

[primal prawn]

i found this on the internet $ heroku ps:scale web=1

[plucky lance]

hmm that's a specific heroku error

can't really help you with it, sorry

"No web processes running"

somehow sounds like the app isn't running

[primal prawn]

wait

I got the issue

maybe

[primal prawn]

I was using the worker option

not the web option

btw i got another error at=error code=H20 desc="App boot timeout" method=POST path="/dblwebhook"

[plucky lance]

yikes

[primal prawn]

Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch

I think i will give up

[plucky lance]

Try a different port

try 3000

[primal prawn]

I still get the error Error R10 (Boot timeout) -> Web process failed to bind to $PORT within 60 seconds of launch

[primal prawn]

I found this

[plucky lance]

hmm

I'm not sure then tbh, couldn't find something else helpful regarding that issue, too

[restive otter]

@primal prawn try binding the port to process.env.PORT

that should work

[primal prawn]

ok

end set a key?

[plucky lance]

ok then define an environment var

if that's required, why not

[restive otter]

you dont need to on heroku

[primal prawn]

why not?

[restive otter]

heroku automatically sets the PORT/port enviroment table so you can listen to that port only

[primal prawn]

okok

I'm restarting the app

[primal prawn]

ok now It gives that I asked after this at=info method=POST path="/dblwebhook" host=aless-sus.herokuapp.com

but it works

I don't think it is an error

[restive otter]

its not

[primal prawn]

ok then

thanks @restive otter and @plucky lance !

[plucky lance]

did you receive the vote log?

[primal prawn]

yes

[plucky lance]

alright

[restive otter]

also just a reminder, if you are also hosting your bot on the webhook, you should ping the heroku app

because after 30mins of inactivity itll shut down

[primal prawn]

sorry if i wasted so much time

[plucky lance]

hmm it's okay

don't know heroku at all

[primal prawn]

I'm hosting it at http://app-name.herokuapp.com/dblwebhook

[jaunty plank]

Heroku has ssl by default

[waxen burrow]

Is there an example of how to keep the bot's server count constant for topgg?

[jaunty plank]

Constant like non changing?

[waxen burrow]

Constant as in, keeps the server count up to date

Probably a better way to word it

I know there is a way through a cog (I am also using py) but I was wondering if there was a simple example that works

[jaunty plank]

Yeah a constant in programming means non changing.

https://docs.top.gg/libraries/python/#examples

[waxen burrow]

Yea apologies for the miswording

Thank you though

Follow up question, what is the topgg library called?

Nvm, I am blind

[sullen nymph]

Blind would be you not seeing it after being shown. You're fine

[shut hill]

Hello

When someone votes for my bot on top.gg, I want a message to be sent to a channel I want, how can I do it?

@jaunty plank please Help Me?🙂

[jaunty plank]

Hey, youll want to use webhooks.
https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/

They do not use discord webhooks though

If you just want to send a message on vote third party tools exist for doing that too.

[shut hill]

where do i put this link

[vestal hazel]

please read the full documentation

[elfin pine]

Hi.
I'm using the topggpy library, I have the webhook set when someone votes but how can I get the user is of who voted?
The test data just says: "Top.gg Webhook/1.0.0"

[jaunty plank]

That looks like a header, not the body correct?

Looks like the useragent header(what platform the request came from)

[elfin pine]

yes, but I'm just printing the data to see what it gives and actually nothing

[jaunty plank]

Do you have any accented characters in your url or auth?

[elfin pine]

no

[jaunty plank]

Is it empty, or is it an empty object?

[elfin pine]

wait it seems like the logging shows the webhook but the event doesn't get triggered

[jaunty plank]

Ah

Did you fill in the webhook url and auth?

[elfin pine]

yes

[jaunty plank]

Are you sure the url goes to the right spot?

[elfin pine]

you mean on my code?

[jaunty plank]

Most commonly the url looks something like this.
http://YourServerIP:port/path

Yeah

[elfin pine]

client.topgg_webhook = topgg.WebhookManager(client).dbl_webhook("/webhook", "password")
client.topgg_webhook.run(5000)

[jaunty plank]

And what are you using to host this?

[elfin pine]

my vps

[jaunty plank]

So your url will look like
http://YourVpsIp:5000/webhook`

[elfin pine]

yes

I mean I have logging active and it shows that a webhook has been sent but only shows the useragent and doesn't trigger the event

[jaunty plank]

Logging as in logging all requests that come in?

[elfin pine]

no, the prebuilt python package, with info basic config

[jaunty plank]

Are you sure your auth is the exact same between topgg and your code?

[jaunty plank]

"password" is the authorization

[elfin pine]

I know, i changed it

even tried changing port but same thing

[jaunty plank]

And you're 100% sure the event doesn't fire, but it is received?

[elfin pine]

it logs the webhook so i guess

[jaunty plank]

So if its received, but the event isn't fired that's a path, or authorization issue.

https://topggpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/_modules/topgg/webhook.html#WebhookManager

The only time it doesn't fire the event is in those two cases.

[elfin pine]

I'll check againt then, thanks

still not working tho 😦

[elfin pine]

nvm fixed it

[jaunty plank]

What was it?

[elfin pine]

it was me being dumb, didn't read the full example

[stray shadow]

Hey, any way to detect votes for a server? I dont want to use custom webhooks as im not into those that much. I'm using nodejs so any npm package to like make an event or something/

[jaunty plank]

Webhooks are the only thing topgg offers currently, they can be an event in nodejs.
https://docs.top.gg/libraries/javascript/#webhooks

[stone nest]

can anyone help me in vote command? using api

[fluid venture]

how can we check if a user has voted in last 12 hour for our bot?

https://top.gg/api/bots/:bot_id/check

i found this endpoint but ig this only gives the total number of votes of a user

[dim kettle]

Hey,
The most scalable and reliable way would be to use incoming Webhooks and then store it in your database https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/

[fluid venture]

but there was also an endpoint for that ig i saw it somewhere

[dim kettle]

You do have this endpoint too https://docs.top.gg/api/bot/#last-1000-votes, but it does not work if your bot ever starts getting over 1k votes

[fluid venture]

oh

[rain heart]

it doesnt, it returns 1 for if the user voted in the last 12 hours, 0 if has not

[fluid venture]

oh

[rain heart]

refer to the example, aswell as reading the description on that endpoint along with it, it tells you that

[fluid venture]

i read got confused so asked bout it

thank u for clearing tho

[dawn mason]

does somebody know why this doesnt set any stats on top.gg

ik the token is correct

and the bot id

[rain heart]

can you send the bot id in here

[dawn mason]

ok

i changed it to this btw

but it still doesnt work

bot id: 919061572649910292

[rain heart]

any errors?

[dawn mason]

nop

[rain heart]

do a try catch around it and catch any exception

[dawn mason]

nothing..

by nothing i mean, it never went in the catch

it just ran over

[rain heart]

Can you add a simple print statement after the method call, right after the setStats call that just returns your servercount that you've just posted

[calm agate]

@willow sphinx Sorry for the ping but I was wondering if the node-sdk of top.gg can migrate to undici from node-fetch.
Also the fetch from undici is only supported in node versions 16.5+

[willow sphinx]

I don't really see the point. node-fetch works just fine for now

[tidal idol]

move it to axios

[willow sphinx]

I could consider it for bundle size purposes but the sdk is exclusively for node where the bundle size doesn't really matter

[calm agate]

well the speed of undici is way better than any other. Also it became a native node module in latest node releases.
The main point of migrating is the tr46 package used by node-fetch. This module creates mappingTable.json which is a really huge array and consumes MB's of ram

I can write some test for the speed if you want

[willow sphinx]

I really don't think it's a huge deal. Node 18 with global fetch isn't even LTS yet and there are so many other libraries that will inevitably pull node-fetch into your dependency tree at some point. I just don't see the point of making a tedious change like that

[calm agate]

oh

[jaunty plank]

The most common library used on js for discord bots is discordjs, which uses node fetch anyway

[calm agate]

v14 we shifted to undici

[willow sphinx]

I don't think a couple ms of performance difference is going to matter for something insignificant like top.gg api

[calm agate]

Many devs are shifting to undici even djs, it has more speed with less ram consumption due to tr46 being removed from the dependency tree.

[dim kettle]

What you on? We need sub ms latency for all top.gg api calls /j

[willow sphinx]

you can talk to @hearty lintel about it and work on a PR if you believe it can be moved to undici without any breaking changes, but I don't really have time for a change like that

[calm agate]

I already created one https://github.com/top-gg/node-sdk/pull/74 Has no breaking changes

[viral egret]

Wdym?

[hearty lintel]

Just commented!

[calm agate]

👍, Also changed to undici request()

[devout pewter]

Why doesn't the server show the number of members? My server is located on the site.

[rain heart]

-servercount

[abstract moth]

To have your bot's server count displayed on Top.gg, please read the documentation on server/shard posting.

[rain heart]

Members is not a parameter on a bot, only servers is a thing on the bot

[flint spire]

Where can I ask questions about topggpy

[rain heart]

Here, as it is an official library

[flint spire]

Ah

So, How Can I Check If A User Has Voted For the Bot Or Not (topggpy)

[sullen nymph]

DBLClient.get_user_vote() for vote in last 12 hours

Webhook if you want to receive votes in real-time and store them locally

[flint spire]

I don't want to store (for now) just check if the user has voted or not

[smoky marten]

https://top.gg/api/bots/:bot_id/stats
Documentation: https://docs.top.gg/api/bot/#post-stats

[sullen nymph]

Voted at all or for the past 12 hours

[flint spire]

Past 12 hours
