[fast osprey]

Yeah shouldn't give advice based on aesthetic vibes

[gritty inlet]

Yep

But yeah might wanna consider moving to slash commands

[radiant shuttle]

hi

i have some custom emojis that looks small but are in max discord re s 128x128 ,can i make them bigger somehow in the embed?

[gritty inlet]

In what part of the embed

[radiant shuttle]

description

[gritty inlet]

You could use headers (#) to make them bigger, but that'd also affect the other text in that line

There's no other way really, not that I know of

[radiant shuttle]

its too small

this line have no other texts

[gritty inlet]

Try "# {emoji}"

[radiant shuttle]

let me see

[gritty inlet]

There's #, ## and ###
The first one being the biggest

Normal vs #

[radiant shuttle]

looks good let me try

but doesit work for custom emojis too?

[gritty inlet]

Yeah

[radiant shuttle]

cool worked ty

[gritty inlet]

🙏🏻

[gritty inlet]

Gotta love a good memory leak

I'm assuming it's a leak cuz I have no idea where allat would come from, was struggling to figure that out
Probably a module, I'll try to check deep

[fast osprey]

Memory profilers exist

[gritty inlet]

I tried pympler

[sturdy dragon]

Guys, what is the proper / best way to get context from a discord interaction when Im using hybrid commands?

the main issue I am having is that I need to defer interactions, but it seems I cant defer interactions related to hybrid commands

[patent hull]

you can

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.defer

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.defer

await defer(*, ephemeral=False)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Defers the interaction based contexts.

This is typically used when the interaction is acknowledged and a secondary action will be done later...

[gritty inlet]

one single lib ("rembg") that i only used a single function from - was 160 mb RAM 😭

[rugged shadow]

because it's using an AI model

[gritty inlet]

Yeah I knew that, but I wasn't thinking it'd just stay and bloat the memory like that

[drifting arrow]

🤔 How do I get my bot to join a voice channel and start streaming?

[fast osprey]

Bots can only play audio, they can't stream video if that's what you mean

[glacial grail]

who need bot?

[stark ingot]

Me, that's why I make one

[radiant shuttle]

sry guys i little out of content but can anyone tell me how can i get the developer badge in discord

i already have a verified discord bot

[gritty inlet]

Pretty sure you need to have a slash command that has been run at least once in the last 30 days

(Also that's the requirement for maintaining the badge - yes you can lose it otherwise)

[radiant shuttle]

oh so it will be automatically

[gritty inlet]

Yes. When I got it, iirc, I eventually had a popup on the developer portal to claim it. Dunno if it changed since

[radiant shuttle]

okay thank you

[junior breach]

is it possible to create a bot that notifies us when a new discord quest is available?

[gritty inlet]

No, there's neither an event for that nor is the endpoint accessible for bots

[junior breach]

so only option left possible is web scraping

[gritty inlet]

[fast osprey]

Which would be against discord tos

[radiant shuttle]

also how can i add this?

[stark ingot]

Discord adds it automatically when your bot is verified, has enough usage, and you have global commands with no default permissions

[gritty inlet]

That's an assumption at least (to be exact -> "enough usage" isn't defined)

[radiant shuttle]

what do you mean with default permissions

[woeful hill]

Everyone role can use it

[stark ingot]

default_member_permissions to be exact

[tender bobcat]

I mean or try find public source where those people violate the ToS to get the data and public it

[gritty inlet]

What's a good way of chunking many servers (including a bunch of large ones) without hitting the gateway rate limit

[fast osprey]

The library you're using should prevent you from hitting the limit

[gritty inlet]

Hmm because someone I'm talking to gets these

It happens on startup
Also checked his code and no excessive/at all requests from gateway

So I assumed it's the chunking

[fast osprey]

yeah that's a warning, not an error

[gritty inlet]

Well he's getting rate limited and that's not a good thing either way

[lavish thicket]

Bot!?

[fast osprey]

I think you're misunderstand what "getting rate limited" means

This message specifically means the library is preventing you from exceeding the limit. It's letting you do things as fast as discord itself is saying you should. It's not a problem

[gritty inlet]

Alright thanks

[dry kernel]

hi

[tender bobcat]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/2f1f5fe2e2bd7c20280275a0d3dee7a0662d2f96/discord/gateway.py#L87-L123
i.e.

assuming you are using discord.py

[burnt breach]

you can make multi line strings using triple quotes, eg.

msg = """
  your multi-line string here
"""

no need for the msg +=

[autumn tendon]

Can anyone help me create a bot on Discord?

[fast osprey]

Where are you stuck?

[gritty inlet]

How do I get the inputted text of input_text in on_submit? 🤔

[burnt quiver]

self.input_text.component, from there you should know what to do

[gritty inlet]

Whoops

Thanks

[primal briar]

you have to be a bit more specific. Do you not know how to create it from https://discord.com/developers/docs/intro. Do you not know what permissions to give it. Do you now know how to work the bot token. Do you not know how to programm it.

So not exactly a bot but its discord related, what could i add tho

or improve

(webhook sender btw)

[fast osprey]

You can use any of the popular libraries to simplify webhook usage dramatically

[ripe mantle]

I just used requests cuz i found it the easiest to use

[fast osprey]

Have you tried using the webhook utilities in a discord library?

[ripe mantle]

hm no

[tender bobcat]

I don't think it's necessary for such project to install a large dependency

[stark ingot]

It is only a couple of lines to send a webhook, you dont need an entire library for it

I do recommend following formatting conventions tho
Such as snake_case for variables and a = 5 instead of a=5

[gritty inlet]

And spaces after commas xD

[ripe mantle]

Yea ik my code is hard to read 😭

[fast osprey]

It's not necessary but in the grand scheme of things, a few extra mb of dependencies doesnt matter compared to the code being more readable and extensible. Minimizing dependencies is not a very big priority especially for hobbyists

[tender bobcat]

more readable
There are 17 line
There are literally no reason to download a whole library for it.

[radiant shuttle]

is possible to embed a mp4 ?

i mean to use it into the embed

[woeful hill]

no

[timber dragon]

Use cv2's MediaGallery in a Container

[turbid karma]

how do people cluster their bots

[turbid karma]

gifs work i think

[timber dragon]

Yes images and gifs

[fast osprey]

"Literally no reason" is pretty disingenuous. Number of lines means absolutely nothing it's a completely useless metric.

The difference is between a bunch of custom written requests vs using a widely used standardized library. again "downloading a whole library" is a completely negligible cost.

[timber dragon]

Webhooks are entirely separate too from the main library too if we talking about discord.py & forks

[hasty estuary]

I dont know how to code a discord bot, can someone help me?

[burnt quiver]

do you know the basics of python?

[hasty estuary]

Yes

[burnt quiver]

take some time to read through this ig https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intro.html

[hasty estuary]

Does it run 24/7?

[burnt quiver]

huh

uh you'd to need first make a bot lol

then find a vps/self-host

[hasty estuary]

My problem was it only runs for like 5 minutes

Then disconnects and goes offline

[gritty inlet]

Any errors you got?

[hasty estuary]

No, it automaticaly disconnects , idk how to run it 24/7, idk anything about hosting servers

Or getting any domain

[gritty inlet]

You'll have to learn in some way I self host for example

On a Raspberry Pi

[woeful hill]

you need to have a way to keep the process running

[hasty estuary]

That was very helpful ❤️

[gritty inlet]

Gotta love mobile man

Well it makes sense because there's a whole bunch of spaces to each side

[primal briar]

I just have mine start with task scheduler but I almost never turn the pc off so its always active

[gritty inlet]

🙏🏻

[glad cradle]

this is an interesting question to which I had a decent guide saved somewhere

I'll try to find it

[tender bobcat]

Agree

[tender bobcat]

You ask for readability
That is clearly readable and your preference of more abstraction by downloading a very large library and then using only a very specific functionality discord.SyncWebhook is just unnecessary
The library is built to be able to do the task, but not specifically this task, and this just add even more complexity

[fast osprey]

Define "very large"

I never said it was necessary either but continue putting words in my mouth

[tender bobcat]

I didn't say you say necessary
I just say it's unnecessary

And pointless

[tender bobcat]

17LoC compare to installing multiple extra dependency

[fast osprey]

Okay we both agree it's unnecessary. Just like making raw requests is unnecessary. So your point?

[fast osprey]

Why are dependencies inherently bad?

[timber dragon]

!

[tender bobcat]

Just like making raw requests is unnecessary
??????

[tender bobcat]

Depends on more things that clearly isn't needed

This is like saying:
I need to install numpy because I need to add 10 to each value in the array

[fast osprey]

You can do literally anything without dependencies

that's just a meaningless argument

The dependencies are useful when they meaningfully abstract away tedious or unnecessarily complicated code. Knowing the headers that discord expects and the json format they want you to send absolutely qualifies. I'm really confused why you think downloading a few mb of a library is like some herculean feat that needs to be avoided unless it's absolutely necessary

[tender bobcat]

In this case, it doesn't meaningfully abstract away the tedious or unnecessary complicated code. You just move to knowing how to make a http request to knowing how a library works
This doesn't make it easier, it in fact makes it harder

This is similar to my argument, here

I need to install numpy because I need to add 10 to each value in the array

Yes, it abstracts away that you have to write a function map etc.
But clearly it is easier to just do it without numpy and having to research about it

[tender bobcat]

You seem to just ignore the fact that you need to learn how the library works, every library you use is an extra part of code that you have to manage in some way

[fast osprey]

I'm not ignoring that. Using the webhook utilities from one of these libraries is a 10 minute exercise

It was just a suggestion and not an assertion that this this the only way to do it, you're reading way too much into this it's really not that deep

[gleaming copper]

Yo can ayone teach me please

Like tutor. me

[tender bobcat]

You would be unlikely to find anyone with sufficient skill and willing to dedicate a long time to teach you for free

The best way to do it is basically:

• Self learn it yourself, many people do it this way
  • As some suggestions given by other user, such as cs50p which is free, the documentation of python is also free. There are other service doing similar thing that might require to pay, but is entirely optional and most people don't when taking this path
• Learn it at school
• Pay some tutor service outside of the server (note that asking to/for pay is not allowed in this server)

[slate swan]

is there anybody here that hosts in discloud ?

[fast osprey]

Anything that markets itself as a "bot host" is a scam. "Bot hosts" don't exist

[slate swan]

so should i look for VPS?

[fast osprey]

IMO yes, I would only recommend using reputable hosts that very clearly describe what they're selling you which is just a rented Linux box

[slate swan]

ok, thx

[prisma ferry]

Any free bot devs in here?

[fast osprey]

As in you want someone to spend their time to make something for you for free?

[scarlet tiger]

No

[calm sage]

Hello guys,I want to code a Yu-Gi-Oh bot that can give the database of the card I name and rates of it's usage and what decks it's being used,idk where to start so can you help me how I can code something like this?

[fast osprey]

What have you tried and where are you stuck?

[calm sage]

I tried to write a function for it but idk what function to write that uses the website database

[gritty inlet]

Does the website have an API that you use

I assume that's what you're referring to with "database"

[calm sage]

I think,I'm not so sure

[fast osprey]

"Website database"

[gritty inlet]

Do you have the URL for it

[calm sage]

Yes

[gritty inlet]

Mind showing me

[calm sage]

Ofc

https://www.yugiohmeta.com/

[fast osprey]

I mean if the question isn't specifically about discord bots, this isn't the right channel. If your road block is getting this data, it's not even a python problem

[gritty inlet]

Anyway that website doesn't seem to have an API

[calm sage]

Well I wanted to code discord bot for it so I don't have to keep changing tabs between discord and my web browser

So I can't use it as my website database?

[fast osprey]

"Website database" isn't a term

[gritty inlet]

Only unofficial ones but I'd never recommend using unofficial APIs without carefully inspecting it

[fast osprey]

You'll need to first find a way to access the data you want in a digestible, reliable way. That may or may not exist

[calm sage]

How can I do that?

[fast osprey]

By googling and asking people I guess

[calm sage]

Oh, alright. I'll do that then

I was hoping to get the answer here but I guess maybe my request is out of reach

[gritty inlet]

Ok they have an API

Undocumented

[calm sage]

Is that even possible?

[gritty inlet]

https://www.yugiohmeta.com/api/v1/cards?search={query}
Added some URL params in the image

[calm sage]

Oh

[gritty inlet]

Now I'd love to help with it, but that endpoint returns a number which I have no idea how to use

[fast osprey]

If they're not publishing an API, they probably don't want you using it

[fast osprey]

begone crypto bro

[young dagger]

Do you defer responses if they might (very rare) take more than 3 seconds? Or is there a better way to handle this?

[fast osprey]

Depends on what's causing it to take that long

[blissful crane]

It feels like often there is no in-between, the thing you're doing is either instantaneous or will take too long. Is the reason it sometimes takes more than 3 seconds an edge case?

[tender bobcat]

I almost always defer the response personally

[young dagger]

I guess the issue is with the database

Since the order goes:

1. API
2. Database
3. Response

[stark ingot]

I personally always defer API requests, DB requests and filesystem calls (if i had any)

I think the important thing with defer is to make sure to still respond with an error if something fails (when possible)

[young dagger]

Line 113 is way after the API call

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/cogs/riot_verification.py", line 113, in verify
    await interaction.response.edit_message(view=self)  # noqa

(otherwise it would go to the error handler)

[stark ingot]

Can you explain more? Do you have a separate timeout handler for the API call?

[fast osprey]

This is an external, not discord api? Then yeah defer, you have no guarantees on how long it'll take.

The rule of thumb I've heard that I agree with 99% of the time is that your interaction response should be your first await

[tender bobcat]

agree

[young dagger]

No timeout handler for either API or DB

[tender bobcat]

and if this got longer than 3s when interaction response is the first await, then you got a bunch of thing to fix probably

[young dagger]

I was thinking about that too (putting the interaction response first) but then, if it failed along the way it would give the wrong impression to the user

[stark ingot]

You could respond, then edit with an update status

[young dagger]

I need to call the API first before responding

[fast osprey]

or defer and apply a timeout yourself?

!d asyncio.wait_for

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.wait\_for

async asyncio.wait_for(aw, timeout)```
Wait for the *aw* [awaitable](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio-awaitables) to complete with a timeout.

If *aw* is a coroutine it is automatically scheduled as a Task.

*timeout* can either be `None` or a float or int number of seconds to wait for. If *timeout* is `None`, block until the future completes...

[young dagger]

Is it a good practice to combine asyncio.wait_for + gather?

    # Task 1
    summoner_task = client.get_lol_summoner_v4_by_puuid(region=selected_region, puuid=fetched_puuid)

    # Task 2
    match_task = client.get_lol_match_v5_match_ids_by_puuid(
        region=selected_region,
        puuid=fetched_puuid
    )

    summoner, match_ids = await asyncio.wait_for(
        asyncio.gather(summoner_task, match_task),
        timeout=5
    )

[tender bobcat]

!d asyncio.gather

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.gather

awaitable asyncio.gather(*aws, return_exceptions=False)```
Run [awaitable objects](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio-awaitables) in the *aws* sequence *concurrently*.

If any awaitable in *aws* is a coroutine, it is automatically scheduled as a Task.

If all awaitables are completed successfully, the result is an aggregate list of returned values. The order of result values corresponds to the order of awaitables in *aws*...

[tender bobcat]

nvm

[fast osprey]

you'll want to try/except that since the timeout throws an exception, but yeah I think that should be fine?

or just

!d asyncio.wait

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.wait

async asyncio.wait(aws, *, timeout=None, return_when=ALL_COMPLETED)```
Run [`Future`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-future.html#asyncio.Future) and [`Task`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.Task) instances in the *aws* iterable concurrently and block until the condition specified by *return\_when*.

The *aws* iterable must not be empty.

Returns two sets of Tasks/Futures: `(done, pending)`...

[calm sage]

All good thanks for the help anyway,I just wanted to know what's my starting point

[calm sage]

So Ur saying they went full Nintendo on that?

[gritty inlet]

It's not very rare

It's pretty much mandatory if you do an API call

For me at least

[gritty inlet]

If I want to access the view's message (for example to edit it in on_timeout),
Do I just do something like:

msg = await interaction.original_response()
view = MyView(msg.id)```

Or is there a way that doesn't require doing that call?

[vale vortex]

does anyone know a site where i can host and code my bot for free?
can‘t pay for ghostbot

[burnt quiver]

class MyView(ui.View):
  def __init__(self):
      super().__init__(timeout = None)
      self.message: discord.Message | None = None


#your command or smth
view = MyView()
message = await interaccion.send_message(view=view)
view.message = message #assign the message here

[calm sage]

i got another ygo website that has the same web database i need if it's helpful i can post it here to check for it's api

[fast osprey]

Perhaps contact the service owner to ask them if/how they'd like you to access their data?

[young dagger]

I ended up using a task group with timeout

[calm sage]

I doubt anyone would answer me but I'll try

[gritty inlet]

Do I have to call view.stop() manually if I override the on_timeout?

[fast osprey]

Nope

At least I don't think so

[burnt quiver]

nah

actually idk

tias

[fast osprey]

Can look at the source real quick and see if the base on_timeout does anything

[gritty inlet]

Nah just pass

Hmm but if just pass, then how is it supposed to call stop by default? Or maybe it doesn't do that at all?

Unless the stop is more internal

[fast osprey]

It is

The library removes the view from the store on timeout by default. Stop isn't required, that's just how you do it manually

[gritty inlet]

[radiant shuttle]

My bot is down because I hit 100 servers and its not have the privileges for . Privileged Gateway Intents

I don’t know what to do with this form can anyone help me

[gritty inlet]

Developer Portal -> Bot

Click the button

I believe the instructions there are clear enough

Unless this specifically is what you wanted help with ("form")

[fast osprey]

What do you mean down? You shouldn't be able to go past 100 unless you intentionally verified, that's the point where you'd lose intents

[timber dragon]

Or just disable the intents as you probably don't need them

[gritty inlet]

I was wondering; can I access member.activities with just Presence intent but without Member intent?

[timber dragon]

Yes you can

You get the members with presences

[gritty inlet]

Funny that I got just one command that needs presence intent, no idea if I'll get approved

[timber dragon]

Probably not if it's a built in feature

[gritty inlet]

Well yeah it is, I'll either move that command to a tiny private bot or idk 😭

So I'm assuming the member won't be None if I have presence intent?

[timber dragon]

There are 3 and they're included in .all():

• message_content: gives access to Message.content, .components, .attachments and .poll, required for prefix commands
• presences: gives access to Member.activities and .status
• members: controls members cache and required for having/fetching a full list of a server's members

Slash commands don't require any intents really.

It's complicated

But it will probably will be None

[radiant shuttle]

I can not enable the because it says

This action cannot be performed because the application has reached its maximum number of servers.

[timber dragon]

Enable what

[radiant shuttle]

I can’t

It says this message

[gritty inlet]

Hmm so what'd be a way to access their activities? Only using the presence update event?

[timber dragon]

You can't do what?

[radiant shuttle]

And his king it takes to verify me after the apply of the form

[timber dragon]

That and querying per user ids

I forgot that dpy drops the members sent for presences if the members intent isn't enabled, so you don't get them
https://discord.com/channels/336642139381301249/1401223828075581450

[gritty inlet]

Yeah that bot won't get approved with such tiny usage of the intent

Perhaps I will not give up the game tracker bot so I can have that there xD

[timber dragon]

Yeah I'm pretty sure* you can get it for that

Don't give up smh

[gritty inlet]

I like how they did this for a few days and reverted

[timber dragon]

Fr?

[gritty inlet]

Yeah, I already changed some things to use mentions, and woke up to seeing "unknown user"

Great work Discord

[timber dragon]

[stark ingot]

Apparently it was leaking information to places it shouldn't have

[gritty inlet]

I don't really see how, to have a mention you must have that user's ID.
And if you have their ID, you can just fetch

No idea how mentions bring a big difference

[stark ingot]

You cant fetch a member you dont share a server with

[gritty inlet]

With their ID you can, I mean /users/id

[timber dragon]

You can literally do that and see the whole profile using the protocol link anyways

[gritty inlet]

Generally?

Because you can't use the link with a user you have no mutual servers with (or not a friend with)

[timber dragon]

Oh?

Send someone

Oh that's blocked here

[gritty inlet]

xD

[timber dragon]

But TIL, you're correct

I guess that makes sense

[stark ingot]

Lala said that it was leaking role and permissions data too tho

[gritty inlet]

For now Discord doesn't even detect my games Registered Games section shows it but my profile doesn't

How fun

[vapid parcel]

    async def vote(self, interaction: Interaction) -> None:```


how to make a command that has no parent be synced to a certain guild again?

i only remember groups, i forgot how to do it just for a single cmd

i figured it out, mb

[pulsar peak]

auto_react_users = {}

    @client.commmand()
    async def ar(ctx, user: discord.Member, emoji: str):
        auto_react_users[user.id] = emoji
        await ctx.send( f"Auto react with {emoji} enabled for {user.mention}.")

Anyone have the code for AR?

[pulsar peak]

Does anyone know why my Auto react code isn’t working ?

auto_react_users = {}

    @client.commmand()
    async def ar(ctx, user: discord.Member, emoji: str):
        auto_react_users[user.id] = emoji
        await ctx.send( f"Auto react with {emoji} enabled for {user.mention}.")

I don’t see the error in the code thanks

[timber dragon]

Wdym by it doesn't work

Where do you use that dict

[pulsar peak]

its apart of myself bot code im trying to make a command for example

(prefix = ,)
(Ar = Autoreact)

,AR @user {emoji}

When command is active everytime @user messages it will auto react with {emoji}

[timber dragon]

Yeah so how do you do the last part

[pulsar peak]

thats what im trying to find out my code is completely wrong

I cant remember anything of discord python AR is a real thing used in most self bots i just dont know the line for it

[timber dragon]

Ah so that's your question

So for that, you need to listen for all messages that your bot can see. You can do that using the on_message event, in that you get a discord.Message which has attributes like .author to get who sent the message and more.

What you need to do is check whether the author's ID (.author.id) is in your dict, and then use the .add_reaction("emoji here") method to add the emoji to that message.

Simple example of how to listen for the mentioned event:

@client.listen("on_message")
async def auto_react_handler(message: discord.Message):
    print(f"{message.author} sent a message in {message.channel} with content: {message.content}")

Note that the event is called for all messages in all your servers, including from bots.

Now you try to implement the auto reaction.

Docs:

• event: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_message
• add_reaction method: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Message.add_reaction
• Message class: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Message

[quick gust]

self bots?

[gritty inlet]

I've been in a server where there was a user auto reacting

I also saw a user with chatgpt integrated 💀

Every time you mentioned or replied to them or DMd them

Apart from that I know a single bot that uses a selfbot for one of its commands

As a matter of fact it has a selfbot user in this server, Idk who

[warm otter]

does it necessarily have to be a "self bot"? couldnt it be a bot in the channel firing off for an oauth application executed on behalf of the user?

idr but I thought there was a permission for OAuth apps to send a message as the user

🥴

[gritty inlet]

It uses the /profile endpoint - it shows user's bio, all badges, etc.
It shows where you were last seen (server and timestamp) - it shows even servers where it's not a member. So it must use a single or multiple selfbot users that are used for that.

Its privacy policy does say it tracks your activity by default and you can turn it off, but it's still very sketchy, and probably against Discord's ToS, wouldn't it be?

[warm otter]

idk, it still sounds like the realm of possibility of being an OAuth app, like if it has the OAuth permission to read all messages for your account I feel like that is enough to track your last seen status

if the user sends messages in guilds that seem automated tho, thats very fishy

[gritty inlet]

I've seen a user that that bot tracked but that user never installed the bot

But the profile part is most definitely a selfbot, I don't think Oauth2 has a scope for that

[fast osprey]

If a bot knows non mutual servers without an oauth grant, that's absolutely breaking at least one tos

[gritty inlet]

Yep

What's the character limit in a container? 🤔

[blissful crane]

The limit is 4k characters on the entire view

You can have 4k characters inside 1 text display or 2k in 2 text displays, etc

[gritty inlet]

Alright thx

[tender bobcat]

I thought it was 6k

[gritty inlet]

Decided to use /applications/id/rpc for the description

the right side of Recent Games looks very empty but on mobile its good

[blissful crane]

Tested to confirm: In components: Components displayable text size exceeds maximum size of 4000

[gritty inlet]

discord.errors.HTTPException: 401 Unauthorized (error code: 50027): Invalid Webhook Token
Is it trying to edit the message using something like edit_original_response? Is there no way to edit messages after more than 15 minutes?
(context: ui.View)

[fast osprey]

What is self.message?

[gritty inlet]

Now that'd make sense because it probably returns the interaction or something

🤔

[fast osprey]

Well the docs will tell you what it returns

[tender bobcat]

Ok

[tender bobcat]

I have a check on docs but only found on non-official docs stated that single container is 4k limit and total is 6k for a message

[gritty inlet]

Well I'm kinda lost then, maybe I'd have to use await interaction.original_response ? idk

[fast osprey]

And what does that return?

[gritty inlet]

The original interaction response message.

[fast osprey]

And is your timeout more than 15 minutes?

[gritty inlet]

yes

[fast osprey]

Hrm

!d discord.InteractionMessage

[unkempt canyon]

discord.InteractionMessage

class discord.InteractionMessage```
Represents the original interaction response message.

This allows you to edit or delete the message associated with the interaction response. To retrieve this object see [`Interaction.original_response()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.Interaction.original_response).

This inherits from [`discord.Message`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Message) with changes to [`edit()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.edit) and [`delete()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.InteractionMessage.delete) to work...

[gritty inlet]

So this

[tender bobcat]

If it's a ephemeral message (or if your bot don't have permission to read/write message in the channel normally to) there are no way

[gritty inlet]

Yea ik

[tender bobcat]

But otherwise, you could try take the channel id and message id to fetch the message

[fast osprey]

You could try making a PartialMessage and editing it through that

[gritty inlet]

Couldn't I just save the message's (edit_original_response) id and channel and edit it manually

[tender bobcat]

Or this ye

Also save a call

[tender bobcat]

No since it's only valid for 15mins

[gritty inlet]

message id?

thought only interaction token

[tender bobcat]

Interaction token is only valid for 15mins, so you cannot use that afterwards

However, if your bot have permission to, then you can just edit normally using bot power

[gritty inlet]

i never said ill use it

[gritty inlet]

id and channel id

[tender bobcat]

Oh misread

Yes you can, this is what we are talking about

[gritty inlet]

[velvet tinsel]

Woah it's been a while, is discord.py back?

[fast osprey]

Has been for years

v2.0 was released in 2022

[gritty inlet]

TypeError: expected PartialMessageable, TextChannel, StageChannel, VoiceChannel, DMChannel or Thread not <class 'discord.channel.GroupChannel'> aw man

Well fair enough since it's not messageable
Can a bot not edit messages in a group channel?

I'll either disable that command in group channels or I won't have (for now) logic for on_timeout that'll work in group channels

[tender bobcat]

The bot cannot normally send message or view message in a group channel either

[tender bobcat]

As said

The bot isn't physically invited into group chat

[gritty inlet]

Send? It can

Sorry for ping

Wdym by normally

I might just add back the on_interaction that responds to expired components..
The only alternative for that specific command would be a dict that stores game sessions by message id or something

I really cant think of anything better lol

[tender bobcat]

You can view and send message to the channel at any time, without requiring user to specifically interact with it

[gritty inlet]

[tender bobcat]

And in group channel, you cannot do that

[gritty inlet]

Yep

[tender bobcat]

Which therefore this method won't work and restrict so you must send the message within 15mins

[gritty inlet]

ill prolly just disable those commands for group channels

not a big deal

[tender bobcat]

Or just not update the message?

[gritty inlet]

I really dislike the "This interaction failed", so no

It just tells you something wrong happened and as a user you don't know what happened

[fast osprey]

Huh? You don't need to edit a message to avoid failing an interaction

If this is for your timeout, you really should consider lowering it under 15 minutes

[gritty inlet]

Hmm would it be right to lower a game's buttons to that

Not sure

Maybe I can lower it for group channels only, that could work

[tender bobcat]

Also an alternative if possible: just make it don't timeout
If it must have a duration, only disable the component and tell the user when they interact it in group channel

[gritty inlet]

Can't just make it not timeout:
If the bot restarts, and it occasionaly does, the buttons will stop working

[young dagger]

DynamicItems?

[gritty inlet]

I have the option of converting it to dynamicitem and using a game session dict but for now I dont want to do that

[solid apex]

anyone know this issue?

[woeful hill]

you ran a python file

Or you want us to imagine the file content?

[solid apex]

yeah but its not even spitting out a error or anything

it usually says smth like
“running moderation bot”

[gritty inlet]

It totally depends on what happens in your code in the global level

[solid apex]

well i dont got a .env so wld that be why

[woeful hill]

Are we in a guessing game of what happened

We dont have access to the file content like you do

[solid apex]

okay do u want the code

like im lwk lost

[young dagger]

You need to provide the code or some context

[solid apex]

if u wanna read through 745 lines igu hold on

@young dagger https://paste.pythondiscord.com/XLMQ

[timber dragon]

Your token and probably also the run stuff are indented inside the command

[solid apex]

wdym

[young dagger]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/quickstart.html

bot.run(TOKEN)

[timber dragon]

This won't ever run the bot:

@...
async def lol(...):

You probably meant to do:

@...
async def lol(...):

bot.run(TOKEN)

[solid apex]

so replace mine with urs?

[timber dragon]

No

Just indent the run stuff back once and add bot.run

[young dagger]

Just add this line in the end

[timber dragon]

That won't work...

[solid apex]

still nthn

[timber dragon]

Indent everything from the first # till the end back once

[young dagger]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/DURQ

^^ Try this

[timber dragon]

Man

Can't you just let them do it themselves..

And actually learn something from it

No they shouldn't copypaste anything

Mine is filled with placeholders on purpose

[solid apex]

oh shit

[timber dragon]

Ah yes now they're back with another error because you have them the full solution

[solid apex]

i fixed the indent "accidental space" now this

[timber dragon]

Gotta install the package

python-dotenv

[solid apex]

and were back where we started chat

[gritty inlet]

Please make sure your bot.run is on global level !

Not inside an async function

It's that simple

[solid apex]

sooooo what i do

[gritty inlet]

Do you know what global level is

Indent it back

[solid apex]

im ngl im so exhausted im barely awake

[gritty inlet]

Select your bot.run and do shift + tab

[ornate wolf]

@solid apex out of curiousity, do you know basic python?

[timber dragon]

You gotta learn python

Indents are really important in Python

[gritty inlet]

xd

[ornate wolf]

if you dont know basic python syntax etc, its not a great idea to instantly get into discord bots

[gritty inlet]

When you run or import a file - everything on the global level (indented as back as it can be) is being run

[timber dragon]

But why would they learn python now when someone is spoonfeeding the exact code they need and they can come back here for more.. amazing isn't it

[gritty inlet]

(Also for that reason using an if __name__ == "__main__" check is necessary sometimes)

[ornate wolf]

fair enough

[young dagger]

Updated link, it should work now @solid apex

[gritty inlet]

[timber dragon]

Fml

[gritty inlet]

I like how you want to help them, but just sending the code for them will make them less independent

[ornate wolf]

oh i remember when i also used to beg for spoon feeding when learning lua 😭

[gritty inlet]

Only one I ever did that with was chatgpt

[young dagger]

Meh it's a 3 line of code

[gritty inlet]

💀💀💀

[gritty inlet]

Yeah "that's not serious right?"
Well if they don't know basic indention then 3 lines of code can definitely matter

But I'm not going to argue about this

[ornate wolf]

3 lines of code that they dont understand

[young dagger]

Hopefully they will learn from it

[timber dragon]

They won't

That's how it works

[fast osprey]

People have 0 incentive to learn if you spoonfeed them

Literally why would they

[wintry elbow]

Hi guys I am new to python
So can u give me some introduction to it

[ornate wolf]

watch some sort of tutorial

for me personally i enjoyed watching brocode

[fast osprey]

*read

[timber dragon]

#python-discussion would be a better place for that

[ornate wolf]

his tutorials are quick and easy

[ornate wolf]

personally i learn more when watching, but its preferance

[fast osprey]

It's not preference. This has been studied and proven wrong

Only reason why one would respond to videos more is attention deficit issues

[ornate wolf]

mhm

[wintry elbow]

Ty I will watch some videos

[timber dragon]

Fr?

[fast osprey]

Yes, they have debunked the concept of "visual" learners or any other kind of learning type. The correct medium depends on the nature of the content, not the person receiving it. Ironically, veritasium has a very good video summarizing the studies

Any preference someone has for a medium regardless of the content stems almost exclusively from tiktok brainrot attention issues

[young dagger]

Courses/tutorials, read docs, experiment, get some ideas from here/communities like this, AI/GPT and stack overflow

[ornate wolf]

why have you sent it twice?

[stark ingot]

I wonder why the majority of in-school teaching is done in a modal that combines elements of live/video learning and self paced learning.

[ornate wolf]

Because it works

[fast osprey]

Mixed media approaches tend to be the most effective, pivoting as the nature of the current material changes

[young dagger]

As long as you are willing to learn, there is nothing that can stop you

[young dagger]

@timber dragon Why are you giving me the skull emoji?

[timber dragon]

I don't agree with the AI part

[fast osprey]

AI is an utter dogshit learning resource

[young dagger]

AI is the future

[fast osprey]

Okay, so is the sun exploding

[young dagger]

There is good stuff too

You could get that same stuff by just googling

[fast osprey]

It is as a learning resource. I've worked in applied AI in the industry

In its current state, generalized models are really only suitable for augmenting existing expertise

[young dagger]

Obviously I never meant to rely solely on AI or google

[fast osprey]

It provides nothing that other methods would besides the potential for misdirection. If you need to fact check everything AI says, why are you bothering it in the first place

[young dagger]

Simply because you ask, and you get direct answers

[fast osprey]

And if those answers are wrong? You're either checking everything or just hoping it's right

The whole point of learning is that you don't know the thing you're learning. That's why I said it was dogshit for learning specifically

[young dagger]

That is why you use it as a tool, not a replacement for everything you do

[fast osprey]

Right but....if you're learning, how do you know how to use a tool

That's like giving a baby a knife, which is a tool but just because it could use it right doesnt mean it will

[young dagger]

It's better to learn with a match than a bonfire

[fast osprey]

Or you could just use a resource that is vetted, peer reviewed, and accountable

[tender bobcat]

I would say context dependent, if it's python (builtin+stdlib) then it probably is fine, but if it's stuff that is more specific, you probably should use the specific resources than AI

[gritty inlet]

I tend to use AI from time to time when, for example, I need ideas on how to implement this and that, or features to consider making

But not for making the whole code for me

Which is what I did at the beginning and ended up with an unoptimized bot with confusing code

[drifting tartan]

hello i whant to do an signal bot for trading but i am an noob at this, can i please get some help***

[fast osprey]

Where are you stuck, specifically?

[sick birch]

we don’t help with signal bots here

[stark ingot]

In this channel or in this server?

[young dagger]

I guess in the server

[sick birch]

we don’t have a dedicated channel for signal bots so not this channel

i should have clarified, sorry

[left geyser]

I'm French, can you help me remove the yellow highlights? Please tell me in PM.

[fast osprey]

The yellow lines don't matter

Run your code and see if you get an error

[tender bobcat]

Did you load venv and install discord.py in it?

[gritty inlet]

Venv isn't necessary for making it work

Unless they intentionally want to use it

[tender bobcat]

I would imply it's used unless they say no

[finite salmon]

It's always better to use venvs

[gritty inlet]

Have never said otherwise, it's besides his question anyway

[ornate wolf]

im gnna guess, you either used ai or followed a tutorial, id say you should make sure to pip install discordpy

[wooden basalt]

hey

was wondering if someone could help me integrate my website to a discord bot

e.g the website sends info to the bot so it can log it

[fast osprey]

why would a bot need anything to log in

[gritty inlet]

So you want to log users signing up or something like that?

Wouldn't recommend doing that, at most logging amounts of people

[wooden basalt]

yes

[wooden basalt]

i prefer it on discord

[wooden basalt]

yeah user passwords their usernames ect

[gritty inlet]

Log users' passwords??

For what purpose

You only need to save such information safely in a database

[wooden basalt]

only going to be me in that discord server

by me i mean a alt account

[gritty inlet]

Still, never ever log a user's password in Discord..

Or anywhere that's unnecessary

[gritty inlet]

If you're really willing that much (bruh) to see your users' passwords, this will still be a better option...

[wooden basalt]

i would like to log it the thing is in the website i dont offer anything of monetary value

there is no reason for anyone to hack anyone

and no reason 4 anyone to breach it

[gritty inlet]

Not going to help you with this, sorry

[wooden basalt]

alr np

[fast osprey]

The flow you're describing is incredibly vague

[tender bobcat]

Why not just use discord OAuth, which is the thing that built for this

[vocal plover]

Just a point on

You only need to save such information safely in a database
and
Still, never ever log a user's password in Discord..
Or anywhere that's unnecessary

Don't log passwords, don't store passwords, ever, with the one exception of if you're making a password manager. If a user gives you a password it shouldn't end up anywhere - logs or a database - until it's salted and hashed, there's no reason a plaintext password should be anywhere other than in-memory briefly while converting it to a secure format (i.e. an argon2 hash)

[gritty inlet]

When I said database I never implied that it'd be just raw text
but yes you are right

[fast osprey]

really anything that purports to handle credentials in the context of a discord application is a massive, massive red flag. Either you lean on discord for users to authenticate, or if you're using other services there should be an oauth flow. You shouldn't be handling user credentials ever in this context

[young dagger]

Very kool

[high kite]

yes hash them through multiple types etc

[young dagger]

I don't think chaining algorithms is a good idea

[high kite]

using 1 algorithm means if it got leaked or breached, you are cooked

[young dagger]

If you really need use slow hashing algorithm

[severe field]

discord.py v2

from discord import Interaction
from discord.ext import commands
from discord.utils import maybe_coroutine
class BasicCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot: commands.Bot):
        self.bot = bot

    async def interaction_check(self, interaction: Interaction):
        check = await maybe_coroutine(super().interaction_check, interaction)
        # custom code to check and return if False 
        return check

my type checker goes insane. What is the proper way to override interaction_check method?
issue is Return type mismatch: base method returns type "bool", override returns type "CoroutineType[Any, Any, bool]"

should i just remove async?

[gritty inlet]

Does maybe_coroutine always returns bool?

[fast osprey]

Interaction_check returns a bool. The base interaction_check doesnt do anything so why would you call it?

[severe field]

maybe in case something overrides it, idk.

[patent hull]

what would override it

[severe field]

me? like literally right now. i think i should ignore the error

[fast osprey]

You don't need to prepare for a hypothetical situation only you could bring about

Otherwise you're going to continually introduce unneeded spaghetti code

(Like calling a base method that doesnt do anything by design)

[sick birch]

what is this point of this interaction check

[patent hull]

you overrode the interaction check to return a static True, so you make sure you don’t override it…?

[torpid cedar]

yo i have a question with discord.py i want to make my own discord bot, but how can i get the message that another message replied to?

how do i do it

[torpid cedar]

aight man thanks

i already solved the problem though with another method

thx

[young dagger]

Can you defer when using modals?

[fast osprey]

Depends on what you mean and which step

[young dagger]

I want to defer and then send a modal with the same interaction

[woeful hill]

why do you want to defer sending a modal

[young dagger]

Because I’m doing DB and API calls before sending it

[woeful hill]

what do you do in the api call that need to be processed every time someone interact

[young dagger]

What does that matter?

[woeful hill]

you can send a head up message with a button to call a modal

[timber dragon]

But you can't defer + send modal

[woeful hill]

because i dont know what is the flow, the modal is depended on the api call result? is the result static? can all of them be simplified to select menu in a view you can send with defer?

[young dagger]

Yes, it's not static

It just checks if the user already exists in the DB and sends the model

[timber dragon]

Why does that take more than 3 secs

[young dagger]

It could

[woeful hill]

a sql would not take more than 3 seconds

[timber dragon]

It shouldn't and shouldn't that be checked before the command

[young dagger]

There is a possibility for some API calls as well

[timber dragon]

Try it

[timber dragon]

Else that's ^ your only option

[fast osprey]

Or just always send the modal and do postprocessing on submit

[young dagger]

I want the check when they click the button and before submitting it

[fast osprey]

I mean you can't wait more than 3 seconds between an interaction and sending a modal. We've given you the options

Either send the modal quickly and do whatever after, or gate the interaction that sends the modal in the first place

[gritty inlet]

If you want to have an API call, then really just respond to the interaction (maybe a custom loading message) then check
There really is no benefit of using defer over normal interaction response (from what I know) - it's just about visuals

Nvm you meant before opening the modal - then just defer the command response and check, then have a button for the modal..

[radiant shuttle]

hi guys i uploaded a gif to my discord bot avatar and it only shows the first frame , its like image

[gritty inlet]

Under which tab in the developer portal?

[radiant shuttle]

general information

[gritty inlet]

That's only for images, use Bot tab for GIF

Either way, have one at the general information tab, but yeah it's going to be static

[radiant shuttle]

ok ty

[gritty inlet]

Not sure if I want to use the presence intent in production

The bandwidth consumption is crazy apparently

[tender bobcat]

Hmm, how crazy could it be

[gritty inlet]

For 1 guy I know it got to 3TB a month just from a single large server

It's very unfortunate that there is no way to filter out the presence change events

[fast osprey]

There is though?

[stark ingot]

and that is...

[timber dragon]

Probably meant the incoming events, those cannot be filtered

[gritty inlet]

Yes

You can't set which events you receive, you will receive presence change for every member accessible

[tender bobcat]

Well, for mine, my bot have about 400-500GiB bandwidth usage per month with a lot of server

[gritty inlet]

Mainly from presence intent?

Because if it's a music bot then I assume its usage would be high anyway

[tender bobcat]

Probably not just that, it also sends a bunch of API request

[gritty inlet]

[fast osprey]

Well there's the underlying question of why you need to know what everyone's presence is

[raven swan]

in nextcord i created a loop task but in it after a certain line the code just stops running like i did return

@tasks.loop(hours=24.0)
async def download_vids_clips():
    clip_urls = []
    for acc in clip_accs:
        clip_urls += scrape_profile(acc)
    clip_urls = filter_urls(clip_urls)

    vid_urls = []
    for acc in vid_accs:
        vid_urls += scrape_profile(acc)
    vid_urls = filter_urls(vid_urls)

    download_clips(clip_urls)
    add_urls_to_processedUrls(clip_urls)

    download_metadata(vid_urls)
    filter_metadata()
    download_videos()
    add_urls_to_processedUrls(vid_urls)

i start it with download_vids_clips.start()

[gritty inlet]

Idk what @tasks.loop is, I'd just use asyncio.create_task
But that doesn't really matter, probably code error

[fast osprey]

Do you have any logging or debugging to understand what's happening in here?

[raven swan]

i added prints to the last few lines

[fast osprey]

Tasks.loop is just a thin wrapper over asyncio tasks

[raven swan]

the print after download_metadata didnt run

and anything else didnt

[fast osprey]

Probably hitting an uncaught error

[gritty inlet]

Did you get any error

[raven swan]

no

no errors

lemme try running the functions by themselves

the unran ones

[fast osprey]

That won't necessarily recreate the same conditions

[gritty inlet]

Does your code execute all the way until download_metadata?

[fast osprey]

You should verify that you have proper error logging, and barring that put a try except in here directly

[raven swan]

yep

[gritty inlet]

Does download_metadata do API calls

[raven swan]

why tho, since im not passing any args shouldnt it create the same conditions

[raven swan]

uhhhh

[gritty inlet]

It should if the code runs all the way til there

[raven swan]

it does webscraping

[gritty inlet]

bs4?

[raven swan]

no

[gritty inlet]

selenium?

[raven swan]

pyktok to download tiktok vids

metadata*

i think it uses selenium but im not sure

[gritty inlet]

I'd be pretty sure that can block the bot loop

Since it fetches stuff

[raven swan]

no the download metadata runs

[gritty inlet]

Yea I know it does

[raven swan]

after that the problem is with the filter metadata

[gritty inlet]

Try running download_metadata alone

[raven swan]

the print after it also runs

[gritty inlet]

Ah you said otherwise but ok

Does anything after filter_metadata run

[raven swan]

nope

[gritty inlet]

Can you send its code unless its something sensitive

[fast osprey]

The fact none of this is async is worrying

[raven swan]

they should be?

im not very experienced in discord bot and async

[fast osprey]

And probably violating tos if you're using a scraper to download videos

[gritty inlet]

Yeah I am worried the bot loop is blocked

[raven swan]

😬

[gritty inlet]

But they said there's no error so Idk

[raven swan]

so the problem is the funcs not being async?

[gritty inlet]

Oh the sad reality

[raven swan]

and in tasks if theres an error is it silent

[gritty inlet]

It's reaaally weird that you don't get any errors

Especially if it's blocking

[fast osprey]

If it is against tos, it's against the rules to help with here

So you should probably start with describing what you're doing

[raven swan]

the thing you are helping with isnt the thing that breaks the tos

[gritty inlet]

You might wanna use either official API or even an unofficial one so you'd be "legally safe"
But yea

[raven swan]

im using a package

[fast osprey]

Explain how what were helping with isn't assisting you in violating tos

[raven swan]

they label themselves as an unofficial api

[gritty inlet]

https://business-api.tiktok.com/portal/docs in case you want to check it out (looks like straight buns)

[raven swan]

no api for download

and they dont give any keys whatsoever

[gritty inlet]

Well I cannot help further than this

[raven swan]

i hate tiktok i wish the videos were on another platform :(

[raven swan]

can you answer this

are errors in asyncio tasks silent

[gritty inlet]

Shouldn't be

[fast osprey]

Maybe start by not making something that violates the terms of the service you're using

[gritty inlet]

Not that I know

[raven swan]

im not violating anything :(

[fast osprey]

Okay then what's the service you're downloading videos from?

[raven swan]

pyktok

a library

[fast osprey]

That's not a service

[raven swan]

oh

[gritty inlet]

Personally I wouldn't use a package for this purpose

Anyway yeee done with this

[raven swan]

yea the issue is with filter_metadata

i wrapped it in try except and it works now

[fast osprey]

If tiktok is the service you're pulling videos from, you should read their terms of service

[raven swan]

it skips it

[gritty inlet]

Ngl this was a smart move now I don't have to create a separate client for each file

[finite salmon]

erm, akshually, its self.client: None | AsyncClient = None

[gritty inlet]

I knew someone would say this

[blazing summit]

@jaunty quail
I have good experience in development discord bot, so I can help you.

[timber dragon]

With or without ai

[celest briar]

here is the prompt
open chatgpt login, then go to Code pilot 10x programmers
'Help me make a general full purpose bot for management and stuffs, code it on python and send it on one file simply.'
make your folder, name it whatever u want, make new text document, paste the python code, save as [Botname].py'
make sure u made ur developer portal first and get the bot_token, also remember to store ur token in .env

then learn there

[lavish pollen]

@celest briar thank you

[celest briar]

its ur choice, either to work for fun or work for real, use AI for fun, if you want to learn then go to learning sites about python and stuffs or even here at #1035199133436354600

[fast osprey]

I'm not sure how someone looking to learn would find blatant, unaccountable lying "fun"

[stark ingot]

It's not clear that you posted this as a joke. And if you did not post it as a joke... It is terrible advice.

[celest briar]

okay bru @lavish pollen mb for that sh
you can learn here fr: https://realpython.com/how-to-make-a-discord-bot-python/

[stark ingot]

Unfortunately, that is also a really bad tutorial

The best thing to do is pick a library and follow their official docs, guide, and examples

[fast osprey]

Oof tutorial literally advocates breaking dev policy as one of its first use cases 😂

[stark ingot]

It's so outdated it does not have intents. Yet still shows up as a top result

[radiant shuttle]

hi, i want to find the way some bots use the /commands as mentions , is it wasy to do and does it have spam limits or smthing?

[fast osprey]

There's a .mention on the AppCommand object, or you can just format it yourself

It's just </command:1234567> where that's the command's id

[radiant shuttle]

ty, one more question , how can i put the buttons inside the embed? not below it

like the image

[woeful hill]

It's not an embed

Its a container

[radiant shuttle]

new function?

[turbid karma]

for the traditional text based bot with slash commands too, do they still use on_message event in dpy? or commands.Bot

[stark ingot]

As of a couple months ago. It is a component, like buttons and selects.

[sick birch]

does discord.py have support for it? i recall seeing a PR a while back but not sure where it's at now

[quick gust]

Yeah it does now, was released a week or so ago

[fathom bridge]

Anyone here experienced with Discord Bot dashboards? Like connecting a Discord Bot to a dashboard.

[rotund ridge]

Like creating a web dashboard to configure the bots settings?

[radiant shuttle]

hello , i want to ask how can i use a modal components function with a dropdown menu? can i include a dropdown menu and a description in a modal components function?

something like this

[stark ingot]

You must put the select inside a label component

[radiant shuttle]

can u put 2 dropdown menus or just 1?

[timber dragon]

It's one component per label

And you can have up to 5 of those

[radiant shuttle]

ok ty

[radiant shuttle]

components v2 doest support gifs inside?

[timber dragon]

It should?

wouldn't it be better to keep the questions in one server

[radiant shuttle]

u are right

[merry cliff]

does ui.LayoutView mean we can have multiple sections each with their own thumbnail

[burnt quiver]

uh that does not mean anything really cuz you can't even use a thumbnail in ui.View

But yes, you can have mutliple sections with their own thumbnail

[rain fable]

YO GUys

Suppose i have the code to a discord Bot

i user replit for now how do i make it alive 24/7 is there any free alternatives or like its pure pay

[woeful hill]

If you have a credit card google and oracle offers a very small cloud computing instance that would suit a private bot

[rain fable]

ah

[woeful hill]

Aws also have a 12mo micro instance trial

[rain fable]

Like i tried using uptime bot

that never worked 😔

pretty cool what u can do the bot can

• send a preview of anyone who pinged u
• send instant embeds
• create tickets on command

[woeful hill]

Running a fake web with the bot run under and keep the process online by pinging them is likely tos violation

Replit was actively blocking discord domain before

[rain fable]

ah

welp ;<

[fast osprey]

It costs money to run servers

[gritty inlet]

Or you can self host (indirect costs though)

[topaz stratus]

oracle free tier is the best; i've been running my bot shy of a year now with no issues

you don't technically need a credit card; you can use a debit card

[rain fable]

alr

ty for ur help ❤️

[radiant shuttle]

hi guys . i am using top.gg for /vote . but now each user have to use the command again after the vote to claim the reward. is possible to make it automated? when user vote to instantly auto give him the reward?

[woeful hill]

a bot that generates ideas

[sour kindle]

Wait you low-key onto something

[bright raft]

a bot that generates codes for practice

[gleaming inlet]

Discord bot that connects to any one public API. Like exchange rates or pokemon or dad jokes.

[finite salmon]

A discord bot that automatically deletes itself

[silver canyon]

Hello, because my creativity is very low I ask here if you guys have any ideas with which features I can build a discord bot cause I dont have any ideas. I have build a Website Scanning Bot

[fast osprey]

Build a bot that tells people what kind of bot to build

[gritty inlet]

Sounds like another way to say scraping

[radiant shuttle]

hello i used a ticket from a server , i typed my problem and the ticket started like this ,me with the "APP" next to me
how can i do it what is the function for it?

is it a webhook?

[stark ingot]

Yeah, it's a we hook with a custom pfp and name

[gritty inlet]

This never happened before I moved it to a Group subclass.

Weird

[timber dragon]

Where self

Also are you testing in production lol

[gritty inlet]

ohhhhh

https://tenor.com/view/men-in-black-mib-will-smith-u-saw-nothing-kharter-gif-12731469441707899432

[gritty inlet]

InstructionsGroup has parent set to AIChatGroup.
I get the error:
CommandAlreadyRegistered: Command 'ai-chat' already registered.

What's the correct way to do this?

Okay I added add_command(InstructionsGroup() to AIChatGroup instead of using parent, removed the add_command of InstructionsGroup in the cog, and it works

[fast osprey]

You shouldn't ever need to manually add commands yourself

Just declaring the group in the cog is fine

[timber dragon]

Do you perhaps want a GroupCog

[gritty inlet]

Didn't know it existed

Neither do I know its usage but I might check

[oak yoke]

does anyone know how to get the bot to have an actual status like an user profile?

instead of activity

[fast osprey]

That is an activity. status is specifically online/offline/away etc

[foggy dock]

How do you do the code box looking thing

[timber dragon]

backticks

[foggy dock]

What is that

[fast osprey]

```

[tall void]

Could someone answer a question?

How do you load the Bot commands? For example, leave the emojis in a folder and load them.

[fast osprey]

What does a command have to do with emojis?

[woeful hill]

leave the emojis in a folder
🤔

[somber sky]

How would i make a command that resets another commands cooldown for everyone, and an option to reset it for one person?

for example like reset the cooldown on this command:

@client.tree.command(description="test")
@app_commands.checks.cooldown(1, 300, key=lambda ctx: ctx.user.id)
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.response.send_message("Test", ephemeral=True)```

[finite salmon]

Ngl I just made my own cool down system cuz dpy's sucked

[timber dragon]

Lemme introduce you to dynamic cooldowns: https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.checks.dynamic_cooldown

It's not resetting, but rather you can choose not to apply a cooldown if certain conditions are met

[burnt quiver]

🤔
what sucks about it

[finite salmon]

unnecessarily complicated for dynamic cooldowns

this was how i made mine https://github.com/disutils/disckit/blob/main/src/disckit/utils/cooldown.py
and it's usage https://github.com/disutils/disckit-example-bot/blob/main/cogs/examples/cooldowns.py#L118

the decorator cooldown automatically handles the cooldown reply which you can configure, and if you need to handle dynamic cooldowns you can simply check if the user is under cooldown via CoolDown.check then add the cooldown on them (CoolDown.add) or reset it (CoolDown.reset)

there is some room for improvement but it's much simpler to use than dpy's version imo

[fast osprey]

It's not unnecessarily complicated just because your specific use case is simpler

A public library needs to cater to a wide range of use cases, not just yours

[timber dragon]

It's unfortunate that CooldownMapping is undocumented

But it's easy to make it do whatever you want like add a check etc

[finite salmon]

damn

erm

[slate sun]

How make my bot run?

Do I need a intereaction http thing?

[stark ingot]

Only if you are using interaction and not using the gateway

[slate sun]

So I don't need to use interaction?

in discord portal

My bot in the server but it's offline

[stark ingot]

Your not required to use interactions, but it is the best way to get user input to your bot. I dont know what you mean by in the dev portal

[slate sun]

So I have to use coding make it work for token than?

[stark ingot]

Yes, you need to have code and run it for your bot to work

Which requires a token to do most things

[slate sun]

Ok I using python latest version

3.13

[slate sun]

I wanna make a level bot

For test run

That way I don't have to use pay verison bots

[stark ingot]

Are you using a library?

[slate sun]

How i use it?

[stark ingot]

I am asking if you are using one. The popular ones are py-cord, discord.py, disnake, nextcord, interactions.py, hata, and hikari. You can look at this website to choose one if you have not already: https://libs.advaith.io/#python

[slate sun]

let me check

[slate sun]

Also how make my bot private by the way

in the dev portal

[stark ingot]

Your App -> Bot -> Public Bot -> Turn Off

[slate sun]

Thanks I like keep my bot private not for public

brb for sec

[slate sun]

Public Bot
Public bots can be added by anyone. When unchecked, only you can join this bot to servers.

this one?

[stark ingot]

If you dont want people other than you adding the bot to servers, yes

[slate sun]

Thanks 🙂

[slate sun]

Private application cannot have a default authorization link what this mean?

[stark ingot]

You cant have the "Invite App" button on your bots profile if it is private. In the dev portal go to Installation and set the "Install Link" to none.

[slate sun]

thanks

[slate sun]

it works yay

let me check my bot in my server if private

Yep it work

[slate sun]

How make level coding?

[fast osprey]

write out the logic -> translate that into code

[stark ingot]

The core components you will need are

• Detect a user sending a message
• Add to the users XP
• Persistently store the users XP
• Do something when the user reaches an XP threshold (levels up)

[slate sun]

How I find my guild id?

[stark ingot]

Do you have developer mode enabled?

[slate sun]

yes

[stark ingot]

I should clarify, find your guild ID as a user or with code?

[slate sun]

in my coding for guild id bot

[slate sun]

I have to copy my bot id?

[stark ingot]

It depends on what you are currently doing. Where are you trying to get the guild ID? In a command callback? In an on_message event? Or somewhere else?

[slate sun]

guildId: 'YOUR_GUILD_ID_HERE'

[stark ingot]

Oh, you can get it by right clicking on the guild profile picture and copying the ID at the bottom

[slate sun]

can you show me don't show your id

[stark ingot]

You just have to right click on the server picture on the left side of your screen. Then click the "copy server ID" button

[slate sun]

ooh my server discord

brb

[woeful hill]

Everything needs a lib

[slate sun]

@stark ingot i think i know why i have error in my python i need bot.py

[fast osprey]

Nothing ever requires you to have a file named a specific thing

you can run a bot with steve.py

[slate sun]

it say in my python i need bot.py

[fast osprey]

What is "it"?

[woeful hill]

probably the guy that makes the tutorial

[gritty inlet]

It means your code is trying to find a file with that name

I guess? No idea what's in your code

[slate swan]

Hey guys since ive got a load of tests coming up i thought a good way to consolidate both python and other subjects was to make a python bot which revolves around flashcards.

Do you guys think a csv text file, imported from anki, is the best way to import my notes
for example

with open flashcards.csv etc```
 
and then i can use async and @bot.command() to make commands for this bot

[fast osprey]

It depends on how big this file is and if you plan on having the bot itself modify it

[radiant shuttle]

hi, how can i find my /commands ids?
i want to use </NAME:COMMAND_ID>

[fast osprey]

fastest way is to just enter it into your chat bar, then right click the popup and copy id

[velvet idol]

Uhm guys do you know how to make discord online and offline fake members in python???

[stark ingot]

Automating user accounts is against discord TOS

[silver canyon]

Hello guys, I dont know if this question belongs here, but is there a way to find good and importantly free API´s cause I usually build discord bots with a API so that I learn how to get Infos from an API and how to put them in discord bots.

[fast osprey]

An API that does what...?

[silver canyon]

Like getting the weather of a location or infos about a pokemon

[fast osprey]

I mean. There are loads out there you're going to need to narrow down what you want to do

[silver canyon]

Isnt there like a website where its sorted in categorys cause I dont have any idea what I wanna do I just wanna test me throug.

[fast osprey]

If you don't know what you want to build, how is looking at a list of apis going to help anything. You should start with a problem that's worth solving, rather than picking a tool and inventing a problem to use it on

[gritty inlet]

https://free-for.dev maybe this can help you

[silver canyon]

yo guys if anyone needed a midjourney api.. well, I've built one, then realized why not create midjourney from the ground up, it only took 3 months lol

[gritty inlet]

How do you manage to one-up the capabilities of a GPU farm?

Unless you mean it's a local API

[orchid pagoda]

well I'm paying a provider, I don't have my own datacenter and such

mjapi does all the complex prompting and model selection based on what you ask it

[timber dragon]

Yes https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis

[celest crypt]

[young dagger]

Which server location for a VPS would be best for latency?

I assume in the US?

[tender bobcat]

Best for latency for?

[young dagger]

Discord

[tender bobcat]

You just need to be close to one of their server

Which you would have no particular detail info

Also tbf it needs to go through Cloudflare I think?

So maybe close to one of Cloudflare data center

[fast osprey]

Are you actually in a case where the difference in latency matters?

You're sending messages on a chat service, not doing ultra low latency crypto trading

[young dagger]

Just curious from a tech standpoint

[fast osprey]

In theory proximity to the data centers in ashburn but with any host that has a decent network connection the difference will be so small it's not worth any effort

[vocal plover]

What solsticeshard said, but in terms of from a technical interest standpoint I'll add that while Discord does use cloudflare as a proxy just being close to a CF point of presence isn't the key, it's being close to the GCP datacentre that the traffic eventually needs to go to that affects it most, cloudflare has POPs everywhere but as solstice rightly points out, Discord is hosted in us-east-4 which is in ashburn VA, where CF also has a POP, so being in a datacentre in ashburn means your traffic doesn't ever have to transit out of the town, let alone potentially across oceans

[tender bobcat]

I am pretty sure discord is running distributively across the world no?

Nvm maybe only the voice is

[lime meadow]

Is it possible to create a video embed and send it via bot?

[fast osprey]

You can't put things into embeds besides text fields and values. But you can put files into a MediaGallery that goes into a container which looks like an embed

[tender bobcat]

It's important to empathize like because they behave very differently

[merry cliff]

just realised that my roleall command is getting rate limited, is there a way to batch assign roles?

currently I'm just doing it individually

@moderation.command(name="roleall", description="give all members a role")
@app_commands.default_permissions(manage_roles=True)
async def _roleall(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, role: discord.Role) -> None:
    await interaction.response.defer(thinking=True, ephemeral=True)
    for member in interaction.guild.members:
        await member.add_roles(role)
    await interaction.followup.send(f"Gave {len(interaction.guild.members)} member(s) {role.mention}")
```(discord.py)

[burnt quiver]

not really, d.py already handles the ratelimits for u

Just don't batch assign roles ig

[young dagger]

Just add some delay

[merry cliff]

alr ty I assigned it to a task so the command doesnt time out and this is pretty much working

[timber dragon]

async def add_role(member):
    await asyncio.sleep(2)
    await member.add_roles(role)

await asyncio.gather(*[add_role(member) for member in guild.members])

[young dagger]

You still want to make sure to respect all the rate limits

[merry cliff]

async def mass_give_roles(self, members: Sequence[discord.Member], role: discord.Role) -> str:
    for member in members:
        try:
            await member.add_roles(role)
            await asyncio.sleep(0.42)  # this is probably good enough
        except discord.Forbidden:
            return f"Error: Missing permissions to update roles for {member.name}"
        except discord.HTTPException as e:
            return f"Error: Failed to update roles for {member.name}: {e}"
    return f"Success! {role.mention} added to {len(members)} member(s)."


@moderation.command(name="roleall", description="give all members a role")
@app_commands.default_permissions(manage_roles=True)
async def _roleall(self, interaction: discord.Interaction, role: discord.Role) -> None:
    await interaction.response.send_message("Assigning roles in the background...")
    task = asyncio.create_task(self.mass_give_roles(interaction.guild.members, role))
    result = await task
    await interaction.channel.send(result + f"\n{interaction.user.mention}", silent=True)
``` I went with this

[timber dragon]

Pretty sure await task literally does the same thing as just awaiting the function

[merry cliff]

XD it works so it works

[timber dragon]

What's the point of a task if you're running it immediately

"It works" yes but it does nothing different

You may want to store a task per guild so that users can't spam it

[merry cliff]

its so the command doesnt expire on large servers

[timber dragon]

what

[merry cliff]

lots of members -> loop takes longwer
