topgg-api

[fluid venture]

without sdk

[jaunty plank]

You can set a response header using that, but an authorization response header wont really do anything with topgg webhooks.

[fluid venture]

so how does auth in sdk work

[jaunty plank]

it checks the request headers

console.log(req.headers.authorization)

https://github.com/top-gg/node-sdk/blob/master/src/structs/Webhook.ts#L59-L67

[fluid venture]

so when toppgg send post request to the endpoint it sends auth header and sdk just checks if the auth header matches the one we put in the code?

[jaunty plank]

yeah

[fluid venture]

i see

thanks for clearing it out

[jaunty badger]

@jaunty plank is there a way to implement announcements

like get announcement

[jaunty plank]

a topgg announcement? nope

[jaunty badger]

any plans for it

[jaunty plank]

Not that I'm aware of

[pliant gyro]

im getting this error

bot.topggpy = topgg.DBLClient(bot, dbl_token)
NameError: name 'bot' is not defined```

[smoky marten]

bot is not defined

[frigid cove]

bot is not defined

[raw hornet]

Is the a way to modify the data your sending on the @tacit elm/sdk package

Id like to change the server count as top.gg grabs the wrong one

[jaunty plank]

The sdk gets it from your bots library, which is generally accurate.

If you need to post another count you'll need to post using your own method.

Oh wait, the auto poster pulls from the library.

The sdk takes whatever number you put in.

https://topgg.js.org/classes/api#postStats

[raw hornet]

Yea well i just implomented clusters and now the top.gg stats are cut in half

Works fine getting the guild count through the bot tho

It seems to work just fine on other botlists aswell

[restive otter]

use https://webhook-topgg.com/

[neat lotus]

Does the remind me thing on voting have any linking with the API?

Like would top.gg send a request alerting you when a user could be reminded via ur end too?

I assume it's just top.gg based but would love to know

[tidal idol]

Yeah its only Top.gg based

[neat lotus]

makes sense, ty

[mystic yew]

I just reset the token and it completely broke

I'm using the right token

token reset doesn't works at all

[rain heart]

Reset the token, refresh the page, then use the one after the refresh

It is important to know that the first part of the token is similar, as that's linked to the bot its authorizing

[mystic yew]

Not working

i Idid it

I clicked 5 times reset and only the previous token is working

No one of the new tokens worked

[rain heart]

Then you likely got ratelimited trying to reset the token, which I doubt

[mystic yew]

This token doesn't works but the previous yes

[rain heart]

Can't help then if you've really pressed the "click here", refreshed and used the new one

[raw hornet]

yea i used that and with some tricks it works now

thanks alot

[rain heart]

it chhanges to 0 after 12 hours, which iswhen a usercan re-vote

works fine on my end

what exactly did you use on your code? post your code that handles it

API

through /check

repost without your authorization on the first few lines

also reset that

looks fine to me, can you visit the check endpoint on your browser using the authorid that is running the command?

so for example on my test bot https://top.gg/api/bots/717091693786300496/check?userId=669452973755072524, replaying both ids of course

make sure you're logged in on top.gg

also again, replace the 2 ids with the corresponding ids that would've been used in your code

[tropic moat]

How often does the autoposter post stats to the api? i.e every 1 hour, every 2 etc

[fluid venture]

ig every 30 mins

[tidal idol]

I'd personally recommend every hour or two

no need to keep it that accurate with 30 min posts, especially with caching and all

[signal hawk]

@stable tide I'll look into this, thanks

[stable tide]

no problem

[jaunty badger]

is there a way to get the time in milliseconds that the user voted

[sacred robin]

did you know how to do it?

I want to do it too

[rain heart]

Not per API, you'd need to store the Unix time of when a user voted yourself

[sacred robin]

How can I make my bot or a webhook automatically announce a vote for my bot? The library I use is Aoi.js
( @rain heart could you reply pls, sorry for the ping)

[smoky marten]

https://topgg.js.org/classes/webhook

[jaunty badger]

but the api doesn't have events. right?

[rain heart]

The API supports webhooks, from which you can tell when a user voted

You can use that to store the timestamp of the vote, then perhaps start a timer or smth

[sacred robin]

Is there a way to make this update itself?

[jaunty plank]

Well, total votes can be tracked on your end using webhooks. https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/
views isnt something we provide an api endpoint for, you could theoretically track it using an iframe(I'm not entirely sure if that will work).
Invitations can be tracked on your end, but it can be a lot of work to setup.

[late vector]

How can I find when the user has voted?

[jaunty plank]

We only provide webhooks.
https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/

[sacred robin]

once the webhook is set will it be ready?

[fierce violet]

Hi Can someone pls tlel me what im doing wrong, im getting code 401 payload = {"server_count": len(self.bot.guilds)} try: e = requests.post(url="https://top.gg/api/bots/943415820875354152/stats",headers = {"content-type":"application/json","Authorization": ""},json = payload ) except Exception as e: print(e)

[signal hawk]

@stable tide - I looked into the issue that you reported and that endpoint should return unauthorized if you do not provide the authentication set by the server owner.

So that endpoint only works if you have access

[ornate nest]

Hello, I have an express running locally on port 8080 hooked up with

const app = express();
const topggWebhook = new Webhook(process.env.TOPGG_TOKEN);
app.use(
  cors({
    origin: "*",
  })
);
app.post(
  "/",
  topggWebhook.listener((vote) => {
    console.log(vote);
  })
);
app.get("/", (_, res) => res.send("Hello, World!"));
app.listen(8080, () => {
  console.log("Webhook listening on port 8080");
});

whenever any request (local, remote) sent to / as a post requests it returns

{
    "error": "Unauthorized"
}

I have made sure to copy my token from top.gg and use it inside the code. I'm just wonder what exactly is this error. I am assuming for some reason I'm not authorized with toppgg but not sure why.

this are the responses the server sends when i use the test button

so i checked locally with a normal post request and i received the same thing so that eliminates cors

this is the response the server gives to me when i send a request locally

nvm i figured it out i thought that the authorization string was the token not the shared seceret i give to topgg

🤦‍♂️

[fluid venture]

💀

[stable tide]

I don't understand, was that correct?

[signal hawk]

You can do it for servers you have access to, but not for servers you dont have access to

its restricted

[stable tide]

but I don't get error when creating an invite here

is this right?

[signal hawk]

for this server? youre in this server

so it does work, yes

[stable tide]

yea

[stable tide]

oh ok sorry for the inconvenience

[signal hawk]

I'll pass it along in case we dont want to allow that, thank you for reporting it to us

[stable tide]

ok, no problem 😄

[cunning sorrel]

Unable to test webhooks:
https://top.gg/bot/x/webhooks

[rain heart]

Is your webhook an IP or domain

Note that you cannot use discord webhooks or localhost addresses

[cunning sorrel]

The domain is a production domain

[rain heart]

Aight so it isn't something like localhost etc?

Do you have a protocol too? https://

[cunning sorrel]

Nop, its https://xx.com

Oula

sorry

no

[rain heart]

lmaoo

so is it just a filler?

or is it an actual domain for your webhook

ohh nvm, since I asked what type it is nvm

make sure it has a protocol and stuff

you could otherwise DM me the url and I might be able to tell you what the issue is

[dim kettle]

@plain panther so are you seeing 403 errors?

If so, try going to the webhook section of your bot, click the regenerate token button link, after regenerating it, clear cache, reload the tab then copy the token you got into your code

[plain panther]

Okay lemme try it

[plain panther]

Hey did that but in my code it says auto-poster isn't function (pretty much sure problem at my end but can you guide me)

[dim kettle]

Would you be able to share the code snipped where you use the auto poster?

Make sure to remove any tokens/api credentials before sharing tho

[plain panther]

import client from "./index.js"; 
//importing client from main file
import AutoPoster from 'topgg-autoposter';
const poster = AutoPoster('my token here', client) 
poster.on('posted', (stats) => { console.log(`Posted stats to Top.gg | ${stats.serverCount} servers`)
});

[dim kettle]

Humm,,. That’s seem right at a quick glance. What’s the error your getting?

[plain panther]

AutoPoster isn't a function

[dim kettle]

Mind sharing the full error?

[plain panther]

Umm...okay

[dim kettle]

Stupid question, You made sure to install the autoposter npm module right?

npm i topgg-autoposter

[plain panther]

Yeah did that perfectly

Error with same.code

[dim kettle]

Ah, try destructering the { AutoPoster } in the import

Don’t think it’s a default export

So:
import { AutoPoster } from 'topgg-autoposter'

[plain panther]

Umm...okay

[plain panther]

Yo that works but now it shows cannot access cleint before intiliazer

And my client statement is properly defined as ready event works

[dim kettle]

the client is used before it's being set
So you can’t run AutoPoster before you have defined client to be a DJS instance

As a example if you where to put your code below the client definition in index.js it should work

[plain panther]

As i told did it alredy like imported client from Djs and it's intent and also it's after cleint defining

@dim kettle

[dim kettle]

From this code it seemed like you had it in a different file

Did you try moving the code below the client const in your new screenshot to see if that works

[plain panther]

Yeah changed it to main file again because I think there was problem in importing so moved to main file

[plain panther]

And the poster code is below cleint defined tho shows same error

Atalst solved thanks Johand#0001

[fluid venture]

what advantage does topgg webhook package provide instead of just listening for req.body on express, except checking for auth token?

[rain heart]

None really, it is for developers who don't want to go through the hassle of building their own handler

You could probably just make one yourself through express and you're aight

The only thing the Topgg package does automatically is correctly respond to the requests to avoid retrial, aswell as handle the Auth as you mentioned

[fluid venture]

I see

[wide stream]

how can i track votes for my server

[jaunty plank]

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

[nocturne loom]

Can someone help me with this

[smoky marten]

invalid or no token

regenerate token > refresh token > copy new token

[nocturne loom]

Thanks

[jaunty badger]

is there any way to get the amount of votes

[smoky marten]

monthlyPoints and points

[jaunty badger]

I didn't see anything on the Java api

[smoky marten]

IDK about java but you get that after fetching the bot info
https://docs.top.gg/api/bot/#find-one-bot
https://docs.top.gg/api/bot/#bot-structure

[jaunty badger]

Ok

[smoky marten]

use getBot(id)

[jaunty badger]

Ok

[wide stream]

yes but that is for bots - how do i do it for servers

[jaunty plank]

Thats also for servers listed on topgg

If you're looking to just send messages on a vote you can use third party tools.

[azure hedge]

I just got an error saying Unsupported Client.

before it was working fine

[smoky marten]

need more context

[azure hedge]

const { ShardingManager } = require('discord.js');
const { AutoPoster } = require('topgg-autoposter');

const Sharder = new ShardingManager('./src/index.js', { token: sometoken, totalShards: 4});

const autoPost = AutoPoster(token, Sharder);

autoPost.on('posted', (stats) =>{
    console.log(`${red("[TOP.GG]")} ${blueBright("INFO")} | ${green("Creating")} - \n${cyan(stats)}`)
});

[jaunty plank]

have you changed anything?

[azure hedge]

nope

[jaunty plank]

even djs versions

[azure hedge]

oh

lemme check

yeah I did

12.5.3 -> 13.8.1

[jaunty plank]

It's possible something changed in discord that causes that issue.

https://github.com/jpbberry/topgg-autoposter/blob/master/src/index.ts#L38-L43

[dire fern]

Play music

[jaunty badger]

what are the params for api.getBots(Map, limit, offset) just need a brief description of them

nvm

[jaunty badger]

@jaunty plank https://github.com/Team-Woo/java-sdk/pull/1

just added docs

[rain heart]

Not an official version btw

[fluid venture]

[jaunty badger]

f

[restive otter]

are you able to have people vote for your bot using the API?

[smoky marten]

you mean know when people vote?

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

You can also fetch the last 1000 users who voted for your bot

https://docs.top.gg/api/bot/#last-1000-votes

[fluid venture]

i think he meant sending a post request to vote endpoint prolly

like "is vote api endpoint public?"

[smoky marten]

that'd be illegal from every possible way I can think

[fluid venture]

[restive otter]

huh

[gusty locust]

any changes made to the autoposter? it used to post my bots stats and update frequently but now the server count is stuck at a lower number than what it actually is — i haven’t made any changes to my code since adding the autoposter

it hasn’t changed for quite some time and is ~500 servers short

[rain heart]

Could you tell me the bot ID you're referring to?

Though shouldn't be made by changes as far as I'm aware

[gusty locust]

792443342926512128

thank u in advance <3

[dire imp]

Does top.gg webhooks support Ipv6 addresses for votes sending??

[rain heart]

So it seems like it had stopped posting entirely since 2022-6-16 https://dblstatistics.com/bot/792443342926512128

[rain heart]

An IPv6 directly won't work, you'd likely need a domain for that

[dire imp]

I don't have a domain only a VPS :/

[gusty locust]

hmmm, i'll take a look at my commits during that time and check my end. thank you aurel !!

[rain heart]

There are other solutions that could do the trick, such as an arpa reverse DNS domain, but I'm honestly not sure if it works or not

[dire imp]

kk got it

[rain heart]

There's some documentation on the RFC2732 on how to deal with IPv6 addresses with web requests, there's also tutorials on that too

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2732

[gray kayak]

is there an way you can check how many hours you have to vote again

Oh I see that someone else asked the same question to

[fallow yoke]

const express = require('express')
const Topgg = require('@top-gg/sdk')
const fetch = require('node-fetch')
const app = express()

const webhookFirst = new Topgg.Webhook('mycode') 
const webhookSecond = new Topgg.Webhook('mycode')

app.post('/vote', webhookFirst.listener(vote => { //ending url
  client.channels.cache.get(`891366497258188800`).send(`User with id - ${vote.user} voted.`)
}))

app.post('/vote', webhookSecond.listener(vote => { //ending url
  client.channels.cache.get(`891366497258188800`).send(`User with id - ${vote.user} voted.`)
}))
app.listen(3000)```

HI. My code is not working for me, can you guide me, what am I doing wrong?

[rain heart]

why do you have 2 webhooks

could you give me a bit more insights on your plans?

[fallow yoke]

I have two bots on topgg

Should I make it into two virtual servers or what?

[rain heart]

So like I'm not using js myself so take my opinion lightly but

iirc you can't create 2 posts on express

Top.gg provides data in its JSON data for you to differentiate between bots so you won't have 2 endpoints

Also you won't need 2, one is enough

Since they're essentially doing the same

[fallow yoke]

Hm

Idk

really

[rain heart]

Or wait

The webhook('mycode') is your Auth entered on top.gg right?

[fallow yoke]

that's exactly what

I don't know if this is a good

[jaunty plank]

You can have two post endpoints they just need to be on seperate paths

[rain heart]

The webhook part is supposed to be the auth

As far as I'm seeing you won't even need a second one

One post can handle it, you can just use the same settings on both bots

[fallow yoke]

only that he wants to make logs with just one bot

if I have two endpoints do I need to do anything else or should I leave it as is?

doing it for the first time

[rain heart]

you dont need to 2 endpoints is the thing

you only need one

you're essentially creating 2 endpoints for the same purpose

which is redundant

[fallow yoke]

so what should i do with this code

because I don't really understand, forgive me

[rain heart]

see here

[fallow yoke]

oh ok

[rain heart]

aka remove one of the post handlers, you can use literally one for both bots

no need for 2 webhook instances either

and it should not be your token but your authorization you define yourself

[fallow yoke]

🤔

is that it?

Should I put this on topgg or where? Because I'm slowly not getting it anymore. One writes in docs, and the other writes in the npm library.

[jaunty plank]

That looks like the headers for the api, webhooks are not using the api

[fallow yoke]

ah

probably none of that

[languid ibex]

Hello, I'm having trouble fetching your DBL-Java-Library dependency via maven, are you aware of issues?

The error I get:
Could not find artifact com.github.DiscordBotList:DBL-Java-Library:jar:2.1.1 in jitpack.io (https://jitpack.io)

[jaunty plank]

Yeah, the top pinned message should fix it.

[languid ibex]

I have filed a PR to update the readme to make it clear in Github as well: https://github.com/top-gg/java-sdk/pull/15

[tawny aspen]

need set the link of webhook here ?

[smoky marten]

auth of the webhook there

[tawny aspen]

that ? (the red part)

[rain heart]

does not support discord webhooks

what that is is an authorization string like a password that allows your webhook to authenticate top.gg for example

[tawny aspen]

that ?

[dense pebble]

How to setup top.gg webhooks inside my discord bot?
I am using heroku

[arctic rivet]

If you are using py then i will help

Otherwise idk

[dense pebble]

js 😦

[arctic rivet]

Then don't know

[restive otter]

can we setup webhook/api for discord server vote logging

[smoky marten]

have you tried @top-gg/sdk package?

[dense pebble]

yes i don't know how to setup it withh heroku

I just want to know when someone votes

[smoky marten]

put heroku link

instead of the localhost:3000 thing

[dense pebble]

what link?

[smoky marten]

let's say your project name ppbot
in the webhook section of your bot put https://ppbot.herokuapp.com/YourCustomRoute

then put a random auth

then click save

in heroku change dyno type from worker to web

in your code put auth and deploy

and you should be good

The rest should be covered in docs

[smoky marten]

Yes

[restive otter]

any docs

[smoky marten]

The same as bots

Just replace with servers

[restive otter]

How to get token than

[jaunty plank]

Servers don't have an api, so we don't provide a token.

We do have webhooks for servers though

[smoky marten]

now that you mention if you just want to log votes for your server
can't you just use the webhook topgg thing

https://webhook-topgg.com/

[fluid venture]

@smoky marten ur pfp kinda sus

[fluid venture]

[smoky marten]

you saw nothing

[fluid venture]

heh

[fallow yoke]

vote.user returns me the user ID, how can I get the user username from this with a tag?

[rain heart]

You can either use the Top.gg API to obtain their associated information or by just fetching their user-id through discord

[fallow yoke]

I looked in the library and found nothing

[rain heart]

https://docs.top.gg

the user section

otherwise just fetch their user

[fallow yoke]

username returns me the undefined.

idk why

[jaunty plank]

topgg doesnt provide that in webhooks.
youll need to fetch that information from discord using your discord library.

[fallow yoke]

I know, that's what I did. The mistake turned out to be that I didn't use the asynchronous function, everything works already.

[teal yacht]

@top-gg/sdk

this is your module for api?

[rain heart]

that is the official library yes

[restive otter]

I also want to count the votes of a member

Who voted and want to give role too for every time he vote

[smoky marten]

Use webhooks then

[quasi orchid]

@jaunty salmon

[jaunty salmon]

👋🏽

[quasi orchid]

no problem bromine

[brisk basin]

your server ip should be VPS ip right?

[jaunty plank]

yep!

[brisk basin]

ty

TopGGAPIError: 401 Unauthorized (You need a token for this endpoint)

[brisk basin]

what does this mean? i filled everything

nvm fixed

[brisk basin]

import Topgg from '@top-gg/sdk';

const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook(`${process.env.DBL_BASEAUTH}`)

const app = express()
app.post('/dblwebhook', webhook.listener(vote => {
  
    console.log(vote.user)
  }))
  
app.listen(80)

http://vpsip:80/dblwebhook

isnt this right?

[rain heart]

no 80 needed on the URL, http is by default 80

[brisk basin]

ok

i removed

anything else?

because its still not working.

[gritty swan]

Is there something wrong in this code? I was seeing how to use the @top-gg/sdk library but when I try to vote (as a test) it doesnt return anything in my console

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

const app = express()

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

app.post("/vote", webhook.listener(vote => {
  console.log(vote.user + ' voted')
}))

app.listen(5028);
console.log('Your app is now running!')

Btw this code is from the guide

[jaunty plank]

did you fill in your webhook url and auth on topgg?

[gritty swan]

yes i did

[jaunty plank]

not with a discord url right?

http://yourserverip:5028/vote

[jaunty plank]

try without https

just http://

[gritty swan]

It worked

ty

I hadnt realized that I wrote https instead of http

[gray mantle]

I'm using custom domain

But now the api cannot send req.vote anymore

Do I have to add any type of DNS to receive topgg request from API when someone upvote?

[restive otter]

is there a listener for votes?

[plucky lance]

You need to create a (webhook) listener - in this case - if you wanna listen to incoming requests (messages when someone votes)

In order this works you need to tell topgg where to send their requests (messages) to

Which is you webhook listener aka. webserver

[restive otter]

ehhh i just used that website lmao

too simple not too

[plucky lance]

[restive otter]

https://webhook-topgg.com

[plucky lance]

So… you got some trouble using it?

[restive otter]

huh? no

[serene patio]

Hello, Can anyone help me with top.gg api

[smoky marten]

Just ask whatever you're having problem with

[serene patio]

No, its alright. Figured it out

[livid grove]

hi uh is there a place where I could learn to make voting rewards for my bot like recieve the userid that voted and what time hey voted

i am using heroku to host

where would I find the auth token?

[rain heart]

that's something you create yourself

https://docs.top.gg

[livid grove]

how do u make the Webhook URL if i am using heroku

[jaunty plank]

should be covered by heroku's docs

https://devcenter.heroku.com/categories/reference

[tidal idol]

@jaunty plank

hacked mf

[livid grove]

huh

[tidal idol]

person was banned

dw about it

[livid grove]

how do u get topgg voting events like it will do something if a user votes

[rain heart]

webhooks

[fervent lake]

Hm

[livid grove]

how do you make it so that it isn't just webhooks that send instead i want my bot to dm the user when they vote

[cosmic ivy]

i tried refreshing the page still didnt work

[smoky marten]

• make a top.gg webhook (Not discord webhooks)
• when someone votes you'll get the user's id
• you can then send them a dm

(Note: you won't be able to dm all users so you better get some kinda error handler)

[rain heart]

https://docs.top.gg

[cosmic ivy]

why doesnt https://top.gg/api/docs work

[rain heart]

it did work before

but is not a thing anymore

[cosmic ivy]

is it available on the web archive?

kinda curious on how it looks

[rain heart]

it's the same as docs.top.gg, there's no need for an archive

[cosmic ivy]

ok

[cosmic ivy]

looks very different

[rain heart]

its a very old version of it and not used anymore

Is the Java library being maintained or why am I getting unauthorized? I tried to refresh the token on topgg webhooks, but even with that it didn't work.

[jaunty plank]

Refresh the token then refresh the page, then copy it

[random zenith]

did that, doesn't work

even cleared cache

[jaunty plank]

are you using the most recent version of the java library?

[random zenith]

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.github.top-gg</groupId>
            <artifactId>java-sdk</artifactId>
            <version>2.0.1</version>
        </dependency>

the 2.1.1 did not want to download through jitpack

[jaunty plank]

on maven?

[random zenith]

maven yes

[jaunty plank]

read the top pin

[random zenith]

just try PR14-SNAPSHOT?

[jaunty plank]

yep

[random zenith]

not found

[jaunty plank]

so

  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.top-gg</groupId>
    <artifactId>java-sdk</artifactId>
    <version>PR14-SNAPSHOT</version>
  </dependency>

isnt found?

[random zenith]

pretty much yeah

Dependency 'com.github.top-gg:java-sdk:PR14-SNAPSHOT' not found

[jaunty plank]

🤔 strange

https://javadoc.jitpack.io/com/github/top-gg/java-sdk/PR14-SNAPSHOT

it should be found

[random zenith]

for me that link goes to https://javadoc.jitpack.io/com/github/top-gg/java-sdk/PR14-fffb55d578-1/index.html

[jaunty plank]

yeah, its a redirect to pull the most recent version of the PR.

[random zenith]

for me its not found so

for some reason when I do

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.github.top-gg</groupId>
            <artifactId>java-sdk</artifactId>
            <version>PR14-fffb55d578-1</version>
        </dependency>

it does seem to work

[jaunty plank]

well thats good

[random zenith]

lemme try run it again see if its just a version issue

[jaunty plank]

2.0.1 doesnt work, its from 2018 and uses our old domain(iirc)

[random zenith]

still getting 401 unauthorized

[jaunty plank]

hmm

[jaunty plank]

is it possible token isnt properly set?
ie that its just an empty variable/incorrect variable

[random zenith]

I checked, that's not the case

its the exact same token as on the topgg webhook page

[jaunty plank]

the only other idea I have is regenerating the token on topgg, waiting an hour and then copy it over.

[random zenith]

wait an hour?

[jaunty plank]

its possible server side cache is preventing it from updating

which shouldn't be an issue, but it theoretically could

[random zenith]

wouldn't it work then to just wait 30 more mins now? cuz I updated it about 30 mins ago

[jaunty plank]

yeah, that should work

[random zenith]

if it doesn't I'll let you know

[random zenith]

it still doesn't work even after having it updated over an hour ago

[humble urchin]

How can I get the topgg api?

[gloomy relic]

https://docs.top.gg

[restive otter]

const express = require('express')
const { Webhook } = require('@top-gg/sdk')

const wh = new Webhook('Top.gg webhook password')
const app = express()

app.post('/webhook', wh.listener((vote) => {
  console.log(vote.user) // 172075838806818817
}))

app.listen(80)
``` i have trouble understanding the app.listen part

where should the bot be listening to

[jaunty plank]

an open port

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/what-is-network-port

[restive otter]

Phh

Ohh*

Does it need to be on a vps?

[smoky marten]

You have to host it on a server

so VPS, Docker, Kubernetes anything should work fine

your PC and mobile also works (technically)

[restive otter]

Oh alright

[fluid venture]

if u are testing webhooks on ur pc u can use ngrok

[restive otter]

hey

i have a command for when someone votes my bot on topgg

and sends them a dm and a message in my topgg vote log

but when someone votes it

it is like a loop

the bot continues to send from 5 to 9 messages in a row

anyone knows why?

the code is this:

 const express = require("express");
 const app = express();
const db = require("quick.db")

const TopWebhook = new Topgg.Webhook(process.env.auth);
app.listen(8080);
app.post("/webhook", TopWebhook.listener(vote => {
  
db.add(`Coin_${vote.user}`, 50) 
    let voteEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
  .setDescription(`<@${vote.user}> voted DaKing`)
     .setColor("GREEN");
 let userEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
   .setTitle("Thanks for Voting DaKing!")
  .setDescription("You just received 50 coins by voting me!")
  .setFooter("You can vote again after 12 hours!")
   client.channels.cache.get('996352881294835752').send(voteEmbed)
  client.users.cache.get(vote.user).send(userEmbed)
}))```

i use replit

[smoky marten]

this explains most of the problem

[restive otter]

lmao

i mean i want vsc

but my computes wont let me install it

ma potato pc

[smoky marten]

Are you using premium or something like uptime robot to keep it alive

[restive otter]

uptime robot

[smoky marten]

Welp that seems to make replit go brrrrrrrrr
It'll sometimes make 5-15 instances, assign different port but all if them to the original subdomain

[restive otter]

let me turn off uptime

and check it

[smoky marten]

just fork the repl

and create a new one

that one's pretty done

[restive otter]

nah

still not @smoky marten

[smoky marten]

okay I saw the code again
and now I'm even more confused
How tf is it even working

[restive otter]

lmao

[smoky marten]

weren't you supposed to do it like .send({ embeds: [embed]})
You didn't even import discord.js

[restive otter]

yeah i did

its in the code

i just didnt paste it here

[smoky marten]

oh okay

that part good

[restive otter]

aight

@smoky marten listen

isnt that you need maybe an async function?

[rain heart]

app.listen goes in the end

it would otherwise not even reach the app.post, thus wouldn't have that endpoint work at all to begin with

[restive otter]

hm

let me try

[smoky marten]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/55885885/in-express-js-does-app-listen-need-to-be-at-the-end-of-the-file#:~:text=In most tutorials using Express,the end of the file.

it doesn't matter

[restive otter]

yep

doesnt work

[smoky marten]

Try forking the repl

[restive otter]

its an async function problem here

[rain heart]

Then just try manually making a request to your webhook to see if it is even able to get requests

[restive otter]

done already

[smoky marten]

It's the best I can think

[restive otter]

it does

[restive otter]

this?

maybe i should put await

[smoky marten]

It does get request
The problem is
It executes 5-6 times per request

Would never have this error outside replit

[rain heart]

make sure it isn't actually a network thing, try checking the IP the request comes from

[restive otter]

yooo

figured it out

its only 1 time now

[smoky marten]

and what was the problem?

[restive otter]

so

i put my repl link in topgg

with https

now i edited it

to http

and it seems it solved it

[jaunty plank]

🤔

[smoky marten]

ayo wut

[restive otter]

lemme send an image

[smoky marten]

replit should support https

[jaunty plank]

Replit issue then?

It's possible no response was being sent on https due to replit.

It does

[smoky marten]

well you know what we say
"If it works don't touch it"

[restive otter]

lmao yea

thanks for your time tho

[rain heart]

redirect

so apparently guessing it does a request nonetheless, even during the redirect to https

[restive otter]

tf

[restive otter]

ya

[restive otter]

yo brotha, thanks for your time

[smoky marten]

ff wrong channel

[coarse snow]

In which version of py the api is available?

[zenith quest]

All I think

Look in docs

[livid grove]

2022-07-13T20:57:08.340292+00:00 heroku[router]: at=error code=H10 desc="App crashed" method=POST path="/webhook" host=xenondiscordbot.herokuapp.com

[zenith quest]

Sounds like a you problem

[abstract plover]

Oh okay👍

[mortal raptor]

My bot send me this error at Top.gg API

[dim kettle]

Does this always happened, or has it only done it once?

[mortal raptor]

first time

[dim kettle]

Has it worked fine since that error?

[mortal raptor]

Yep, but i guess send the report here, i can't control api code

[dim kettle]

You can safely ignore it. Network errors can happen every once in a while.
Sometimes it is due to Top.gg being down for a sec, maybe the host you where on had issues. Hard to say

[mortal raptor]

ho, i got it

the API can send an error code following the error?

something like...

const errorCode = error.code

[mortal raptor]

at footer example

[dim kettle]

You would need to wrap the await with a try/catch and catch the error

There should be an error object you can destruct the error code from

[mortal raptor]

that's already done

but no problem

thanks

[limpid bane]

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

is the webhook auth the auth i set on dashboard?

[dim kettle]

Yeah. That is the value you provided

[limpid bane]

alight

[fringe edge]

Why do I get this issue when trying to log votes in my server? It works for me on my client side, but doesn’t work for when someone tests the webhook

[dim kettle]

#site-status There is some issues with voting showing a client error

[fringe edge]

thank you

[fringe edge]

Is the test webhook button affected by this issue?

[dim kettle]

@signal hawk Can you confirm? 🙂

[fringe edge]

As when I click test webhook on my side it works with logs etc but when another admin tries to click the test button nothing logs

[signal hawk]

i am not sure if there are any issues with the test webhook button

i dontt hink it would be affected by the current errors

[tidal idol]

[fringe edge]

Do you know of any causes on why my issue might occur? It’s strange how I can successfully use the test button and everything logs, but when another admin uses it, nothing happens with my code or database

🤔 But yeah it makes sense on why the test webhook might not be affected

[signal hawk]

i am not sure. are the other users trying to use it on your bots team?

[fringe edge]

I’m on the same page, but I’m not executing anything, only me and that admin have access

🤔

[signal hawk]

it might be legacy tied to only the owner

i can ask a developer

[fringe edge]

That would be great

[fringe edge]

What do you mean by that?

Like it’s only responding when I do it?

[signal hawk]

Previously only the owner ever had access to the bot page and settings such as webhooks

im wondering if, when we added teams, maybe we didn't update that check to see if the user is on a team, and we're still only checking to see if theyre the owner

#support for your question

[serene torrent]

Thank you :)

[rain heart]

you can use webhooks for that

[rain heart]

discord webhooks are not supported

[sterile stirrup]

so what is this for

?

[rain heart]

Not discord webhooks

https://docs.top.gg

[sterile stirrup]

but who will say who voted for him will be the bot?

[rain heart]

see above

also https://zapier.com/blog/what-are-webhooks/

[sterile stirrup]

do you know this bot?

[rain heart]

that is not an official bot by top.gg, nor do we provide such service

that's likely a private bot made by someone that is using Webhooks in order to receive voting events

[sterile stirrup]

how do I do that?

[rain heart]

read above

[sterile stirrup]

Where?

[plucky lance]

The docs already provide examples in different languages you can use which are pretty much a working solution

But still it requires fundamental knowledge on how webhooks work and what they are

Without that trying to set this up will be complicated

Also stay away from trying to host at home as I read that earlier

[slate roost]

Where do i get my top.gg token?

[smoky marten]

on your bot settings page

bot > edit > webhooks > reveal token

[slate roost]

Thanks 👍🏼

How can I keep the widget image updated?

I just copied the link of the image but it doesn't update when someone votes

Pls help

[river pivot]

someone need help?

oh

it updates overtime i believe

send me ur bot's id

[smoky marten]

the image (svg) updates instantly
Like it updated before my browser would

so I guess it's discord serving from cache

[tidal peak]

i guess invalid the cache

[slate roost]

But will an .svg image work for a discord embed? I changed that to .png because thought that .svg won't work

[slate roost]

I changed back to .svg from .png but the image doesn't appear in the embed now

[slate roost]

dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
  logInfo('User voted', vote.user.tag);

  client.channels.cache
    .get('...')
    .send({
      embeds: [
        new Discord.MessageEmbed()
          .setColor('#12c4ff')
          .setDescription(`${vote.user.tag} voted!`)
      ]
    });
});```

This isn't working when someone votes

[tidal peak]

uh idk?

probably ip issues

@slate roost where do you host that

i am waiting a reply

[rain heart]

discord caches the image

[slate roost]

Replit

[slate roost]

Sorry for late response i was trying to fix it

[slate roost]

Any way to keep it updated?

[rain heart]

likely not, maybe by adding random garbage into the query string?

[slate roost]

What should I do then, can you give me an example

dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
  logInfo('User voted', vote.user.tag);

  client.channels.cache
    .get('...')
    .send({
      embeds: [embed]
    });
}); 

Also, the vote tracker not working

[tidal peak]

if you send the url add random stuff

[smoky marten]

That's not the official lib if I remember correctly

[tidal peak]

so do you use some port

[smoky marten]

They give url

and bind it to your port

[tidal peak]

hm?

[slate roost]

Yep

[tidal peak]

oh

[slate roost]

For topgg right

[tidal peak]

try to remove it then

[slate roost]

5000

Default

Do i remove the port then?

[tidal peak]

yup

just the replit url

[slate roost]

Removing the port gives this error

[tidal peak]

from the top.gg webhook url

[slate roost]

Hmm

[slate roost]

Oh there, there I've put a discord webhook integration url

[tidal peak]

bru-

[slate roost]

The whole code: ```js
const dbl = new DBL(process.env.topggToken, {
webhookPort: 5000,
webhookAuth: '...'
});

dbl.webhook.on('ready', hook => {
logInfo('Webhook', 'Connected');
logInfo('Webhook Url', https://${hook.hostname});
//logInfo('Webhook Port', ${hook.port}${hook.path});
});

dbl.webhook.on('vote', vote => {
logInfo('User voted', vote.user.tag);

client.channels.cache
.get('...')
.send({
embeds: [embed]
});
});```

I don't get any error with this but it doesn't work

[tidal peak]

because it probably doesnt get sent

[slate roost]

Wdym ☠️

Pls any officials help me

[tidal peak]

idk

[slate roost]

What do i do pls someone help

The vote updates don't work and the image too

Pls help

[rain heart]

https://docs.top.gg for the voting

the image is not meant to be embedded into a cached field

consider using the api to fetch information about your own bot

[slate roost]

I did the things

But it isn't working

[slate roost]

I'll just remove the image

I just need it for voting

[rain heart]

Have you also set it on your webhook settings on top.gg

[slate roost]

Yes

[slate roost]

On webhook url there is the url of the discord webhook integration url

[slate roost]

I'm simply using the event in the index.js it's ok right?

[slate roost]

This is the whole code

[rain heart]

You cannot use discord webhooks there

[rain heart]

refer to this to learn what a webhook is

[slate roost]

Oh, what should I put then?

[slate roost]

Is there some way way to just get a webhook?

[rain heart]

you can use https://webhook-topgg.com/ to only get logs

but not to reward users for voting

[slate roost]

Oof ☠️

[river pivot]

hi

r u allowed to make a top.gg-related bot

oops sorry wrong place

[sharp moat]

auto poster works with eris?

[rain heart]

"or eris client"

[sharp moat]

oh

nice

[fringe edge]

I’ve been getting a strange occurrence within my webhook logging. Is it possible when someone votes for a server twice, that the POST request and my app could misinterpret it somehow and run my code twice?

Or could it be because of my host (heroku) making a mistake.

[rain heart]

That can happen if there's no response sent back by the webhook https://docs.top.gg/resources/webhooks/#retrial

[fluid venture]

its prolly cuz today is weekend

1 vote counts as 2

on weekends

[fringe edge]

Is there any way to prevent duplicates?

[rain heart]

By properly responding to the webhook as described there

[fringe edge]

I don’t imagine this is the issue as it’s only happening sometimes, once in a while, not all the time

[rain heart]

weekend votes are not sent as separate webhooks

[fluid venture]

[rain heart]

they're sent as 1, but the value is_weekend will be true on that one request

[sterile stirrup]

how do i make my bot send in console.log when they voted for it?

[open bay]

https://docs.top.gg/

[sterile stirrup]

how do i make this url?

[open bay]

oof, that one is a bit harder

you need to host it

i am using Heroku and it works fine

[sterile stirrup]

does this script do that?

[open bay]

yes, but if you are using heroku you need to change last line

and line 6 should be changed to smth secure

[sterile stirrup]

because I wanted my bot to warn itself

[open bay]

what exactly do you mean?

[sterile stirrup]

I wanted my bot to know who voted for him to give him coins (economy system coins)

[open bay]

vote.user returns user id so you can use it to award user

[sterile stirrup]

because but this script does not work

[open bay]

i know, i have one working for heroku i will send you it 1 sec

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

const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook('password')

app.post('/vote', webhook.listener(vote => {
    console.log(vote.user + " voted")
}))
app.listen(process.env.PORT)
console.log("Ready!")

This is the same but changed for heroku

you cant assign a port on heroku you need to use process.env.PORT

[sterile stirrup]

where it says password I put what?

[open bay]

whatever you feel like

[sterile stirrup]

do i put this?

[open bay]

yes, put same string there as in the script

[sterile stirrup]

and now?

[open bay]

now, you need to host it

[sterile stirrup]

I put it in the bot index

[open bay]

i am not sure if that will work but try

if you see ready! in console its working

[sterile stirrup]

and now?

[open bay]

Now, go to your webhooks page

and fill in stuff

with your details

[sterile stirrup]

?

[open bay]

your hosting ip or domain should go there

with /vote at the end

[sterile stirrup]

i hosted my bot on square cloud

[open bay]

do you have an ip or domain?

and do you have env file?

[sterile stirrup]

bots have no domain

[open bay]

no bot, host

your host ip, do you have it?

[sterile stirrup]

I will talk to host support

[open bay]

no need

go to your app on host web panel and ipv4 address should be there

what do you mean? Voting code is executed only once per vote

[fringe edge]

it can happen if there's no response sent back by the webhook

[sterile stirrup]

does not appear

[open bay]

I am not familiar with that host so ask support how to get ipv4 address

[sterile stirrup]

they answered:

why do you want an ipv4 dude? I just explained to you how to make topgg send you the webhook just upload the api as dynamic in square and there on topgg you put the website link

[open bay]

Yeah website link works too

[sterile stirrup]

I have a website but only a website with text

[open bay]

What does website says?

When u got to it

[sterile stirrup]

https://friendlybot.xyz/

[open bay]

Is it hosted on the same node as bot?

[sterile stirrup]

yes the bot and the website are on the same host

[open bay]

Do u have .env file?

[sterile stirrup]

no \😢

[open bay]

Okay then change ur script on last line

app.listen(3444)

[open bay]

Yeah

Now build and run

Does it says Ready?

[sterile stirrup]

build what?

[open bay]

Just run it

[open bay]

Now go to webhook setup on topgg

And for webhook link type ur site url:3444/vote

[sterile stirrup]

https://friendlybot.xyz:3444/vote
so?

[open bay]

Yes that

No

Not /3444 :3444/vote

Like that

[sterile stirrup]

https://friendlybot.xyz:3444/vote
so?

[open bay]

Yeah type that into webhook url

Now authorization field, type same pass as in script

[open bay]

Yeah

Click save and test

[tidal idol]

you use Cloudflare so port 3444 is blocked

you could possibly consider disabling proxy so port 3444 is opened

[sterile stirrup]

what will happen?

[open bay]

In console you should get a message

If it isnt working @tidal idol told u y

[sterile stirrup]

nothing happens that must be the problem

[tidal idol]

that IS the problem

port 3444 is blocked

[tidal idol]

click on your domain

[tidal idol]

DNS

something like that

[tidal idol]

click "Proxied" and it should go gray

you don't want to add a record

the top one yeah

there should be one under "www" too, if so then disable proxy on that too

just the top one then

click this on the top one

[sterile stirrup]

?

[tidal idol]

then click this and it will go gray as shown above

yes

[tidal idol]

then click save

[plucky lance]

Discord being Discord

[tidal idol]

lol

[tidal idol]

give that a few mins and it should work

[sterile stirrup]

ok I'll wait

[plucky lance]

did you even setup ssl properly?

[plucky lance]

if not use http without secure protocol

[tidal idol]

[sterile stirrup]

Unable to access this site

[sterile stirrup]

What do I do?

[tidal idol]

hmm

for now just renable the proxy

i'm heading to bed so i'm unable to help any further for the time being

[sterile stirrup]

ok

thanks

[plucky lance]

wut are you trying to archive?

[sterile stirrup]

how do i make my bot send in console.log when they voted for it?

[plucky lance]

where is your webhook listener running? at home or on a server?

[rocky pebble]

Hi

[rain heart]

hey, need anything?

[hardy berry]

I have a probleme gus

Can someone help me

??

[rain heart]

Sure, what do you need

[fringe edge]

What does the 503 status code mean when it’s returned to me?

[fluid venture]

service unavailable

[mighty scroll]

how do i get the top gg api

[rain heart]

https://docs.top.gg

requires an approved bot

[mighty scroll]

k

[fluid venture]

sm endpoints can work without an approved bot tho right?

[rain heart]

no, requires an approved bot entirely to use any aspects of the api

[fluid venture]

like a bot info or user info

o

[fluid venture]

https://top.gg/api/bots/646937666251915264

this one works

without auth or smthing

[rain heart]

if you're logged into top.gg, then yes it does

as it is using your authorization to check the stats

[fluid venture]

o yeah

[rain heart]

try it in incognito and you'll see what I mean

[fluid venture]

ye i get unauthorized

[unkempt hill]

how can i get DBL token?

[rain heart]

check the pinned messages

[unkempt hill]

im trying to go to the website but cloudflare returns a error saying timeout, how could i fix that?

[rain heart]

where do you get that

which url

[unkempt hill]

/api/docs#mybots

The web server reported a gateway time-out error.

[rain heart]

https://docs.top.gg

thats the right one

[unkempt hill]

alr thanks

also what package should i use there is two for nodejs

• top.gg
• @topgg/sdk

[smoky marten]

@topgg/sdk

it's the official one

[unkempt hill]

alright thanks

[quiet harbor]

oh wait what?

const manager = new ShardingManager('./llama.js', { token: token });

manager.on('shardCreate', shard => console.log(`Launched shard ${shard.id}`));

const ap = AutoPoster('topggBotToken', manager) // error here

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

manager.spawn();

This normally works but after adding the autoposter it gives an unsupported client on the autoposter declaration. What am I missing?

[wise raven]

I also tried with my client on the llama.js (index but I'm using sharding) and same issue

[rain heart]

shardingmanager isnt supported iirc

can be wrong

[wise raven]

How do you do a server count across all shards? Do I have to change how I shard my bot

[rain heart]

https://docs.top.gg mentions that on the docs

[wise raven]

I set up my sharding how the djs docs have it but the topgg autoposter list it a different way and I'm not sure how to set that up. I also can't find anything about shard managers on the topgg js docs, is it under the posting bot stats section?

[rain heart]

then this applies I guess

wait for someone who can help then

[limber junco]

Ok so I had a que

User can vote more than once for the same bot every few hours

And I also used top.gg api to know if a user has voted so let's say user voted once and his time ended like he can revote now so if I render using api would it show he has not voted? Or if he just votes once it will show that he has voted (everytime I fetch)

[fluid venture]

the api shows if user has voted in past 12 hours. so if he can revote now probably the api will show 0 which means false

[arctic rivet]

Its really easy you can make a session and provide auth in headers and then you will get the data 0 = Not voted 1 Voted and yes I'm also using this no need to install any wrappers

Because topggpy is not supported on 3.9

||English accha nhi mera manage kr lena||

[limber junco]

Umm so the only way to keep track of him is by storing his data on db

?

[fluid venture]

yes

[smoky marten]

Can't you post status of each shard individually ?

Like instead of putting the posting thing in the sharder try putting it in main file

then post stats

[smoky marten]

also you can always do it manually

[fluid venture]

u can use setTimeout also after the user votes but it cease to exist if bot is restarted or crashed

(if u are trying to make a vote reminder)

[limber junco]

Aha Ig Ill only store it to db! Thanks btw

[fluid venture]

[wise raven]

I can try that thx

Even with the normal client it says unsupported client

[smoky marten]

Can you not use autoposter

[wise raven]

I'm sorry if my reply pinged u i fixed it!!

that's what i was using :P its all good now tho

[smoky marten]

yesterday I had this same problem

[wise raven]

will the stats be on topgg right away or do i have to wait a bit

[smoky marten]

So I copied the autoposter code without the type check
now it works fine

[wise raven]

yayy im glad it works for u

[smoky marten]

You can check here
Pretty much real time (more like real hour) stats
https://dblstatistics.com/

[wise raven]

that's fair! ty

[wise raven]

OK this might sound really stupid but I posted my stats, can I temporarily un post them? I commented out the autoposter but the old stats are still on the page.

My reason being the bot is only in 3 servers and I'm afraid people will not use it because of that

[rain heart]

You can set it to 0 or 1

you cant unpost them once posted

[wise raven]

whoops oh well. Ill just auto post them then. Thanks! (again pretty dumb thing of me lol)

[worldly tendon]

can someone here help me with getting the webhook for topgg? I use railway.app as my host

[restive otter]

one question - suppose I'm gonna send a message to everyone who votes for my bot so how am I gonna fetch the ID from the webhook?

[fluid venture]

const userVoted = req.body.user
client.users.fetch(userVoted).then().catch()

if u are using discordjs and express

[restive otter]

so I'm supposed to use express inside of my bot? atm I run it in a diff server

[rain heart]

If you wish to fetch a user the ID the webhook has provided you, then you'll need a bot application within that webhook that is able to

you could also setup some sort of connection between your webhook server and your bot to then have your bot handle that mechanic

[fluid venture]

not necessarily

[restive otter]

Yeah but i'm not sure how to do that XD

current I read the ID provided by the webhook by slicing message.content

[rain heart]

best way is to have both in one like the example Glitter gave

yeah thats unefficient, works but unefficient

[restive otter]

yeah i know

[rain heart]

Or wait, what are you referring to with webhook

you have a webhook setup on another server that essentially sends another webhook into a channel right?

[restive otter]

um didnt get it

yeah

[rain heart]

bit unefficient, but could work

[restive otter]

yeah thats why i came for help

[rain heart]

what I actually suggest is to send it in an embed instead so you could just fetch the nth field, one sec

wait, could you show me an example of how your webhooks sends that into the channel?

[restive otter]

yeah wait

I just slice up the ID for now

[rain heart]

so you do have the ID through splitting the content with what I'm guessing "-"

[restive otter]

yep

[rain heart]

discordjs?

[restive otter]

yep

what I actually want is to get the event triggered in my bot code so I dont have to listen for messages

[rain heart]

yeah that would only work with having the webhook directly on your bot to "get the events of the webhook" to say

on webhooks you'd send in a channel it would need to listen to messages

[restive otter]

so I have to get the express server in my event listener right?

[rain heart]

You can either do what you have right now, fetching the ID from the webhook that was sent

[restive otter]

because i dont know how to create a connection with the server lol

[rain heart]

or directly go for webhooks that are sent by top.gg and implementing that mechanic into your bot directly instead

[restive otter]

yeah that sounds good

[rain heart]

jesus the discordjs docs are weird

[restive otter]

true XD

anyways when the user votes what info do I receive?

[rain heart]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/class/UserManager

[restive otter]

only the user?

[rain heart]

their ID, what bot they voted for (duh) and the query parameter

the ID is what you'd wanna go for

[restive otter]

I meant like next vote time etc etc.

[rain heart]

not provided by top.gg, you'd have to track that yourself too

[restive otter]

okay got it

[rain heart]

easy to implement though, just store the timestamp of when they voted and compare it with the current time

[restive otter]

yep

[rain heart]

so currentTimestamp - voteTimestamp = time Remaining

[restive otter]

I'm currently using the tool by top.gg webhook sender

[rain heart]

Yeah, that wont bring you far, like i said it can work to just fetch the webhook messages from that one channel, but is often way more efficient to directly have top.gg request to your bot

[restive otter]

I implemented in my express server, it was working fine then I gone to eat lunch then when I tried to test again idk for real what happend

I was getting the id by console log

but webhook was not working

[rain heart]

have you checked if the requests were still coming through? It may happen that top.gg will resend stuff if it wasnt properly responded to

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

[restive otter]

the id was coming tho

in my console

just the webhook wasnt working

[rain heart]

then some sort of mechanics to handle that ID failed at some point, debugging time

[restive otter]

idk I wasted like 3 hours then moved on with the tool
