Then I appologize @white perch. I was mistaken.

crude crater
#

I said I don’t know but google will lmao

white perch
#

No prob

maiden fable
#

Music Bots are, but not tts

slate swan
#

Even music is allowed, as long as you don't use YouTube

drifting arrow

You can download a music a play it in a loop if you want, you don't rely and stream directly from YouTube so yeah

maiden fable
#

Yea

crude crater
#

Also, music bots are not against TOS!!! Rythm is literally a VERIFIED BOT

maiden fable
#

Bro...

#

YouTube ToS

#

slate swan

Rythm is being shut down

white perch
#

Rythm is shutting down anyways we shouldnt discuess that here

maiden fable

slate swan
#

In case you didn't know

crude crater
#

Oh lmao I didn’t even know my fault

slate swan
crude crater
#

Why tf is it verified then that’s dumb lmaooo

slate swan
#

Because it's YOUTUBE ToS

#

Not Discord

maiden fable

Isn't that what I said....?

slate swan

Discord never forced any bot to shut down

Per Python Discord's Rule 5, we are unable to assist with questions related to youtube-dl, pytube, or other YouTube video downloaders as their usage violates YouTube's Terms of Service.

For reference, this usage is covered by the following clauses in YouTube's TOS, as of 2021-03-17:

The following restrictions apply to your use of the Service. You are not allowed to:

1. access, reproduce, download, distribute, transmit, broadcast, display, sell, license, alter, modify or otherwise use any part of the Service or any Content except: (a) as specifically permitted by the Service;  (b) with prior written permission from YouTube and, if applicable, the respective rights holders; or (c) as permitted by applicable law;

3. access the Service using any automated means (such as robots, botnets or scrapers) except: (a) in the case of public search engines, in accordance with YouTube’s robots.txt file; (b) with YouTube’s prior written permission; or (c) as permitted by applicable law;

9. use the Service to view or listen to Content other than for personal, non-commercial use (for example, you may not publicly screen videos or stream music from the Service)

its against tos

lament mesa
white perch
#

Music bots are allowed if you have a legal written permission from youtube which is a 0.01% chance of anyone having written permission though

#

But anyway

slate swan
#

Well, just asking what is wrong won't help

#

Do you get any error?

lament mesa
#

Just buy YouTube and you'll be fine

slate swan
#

What do you expect, what happened, etc.

white perch
# slate swan Do you get any error?

No error, It joins the vc, sends the making audio message, it also saves the audio file but doesn't play it in vc and doesn't send the Played! text

#

Music is illegal if you use youtube

#

But is using a music api illegal?

visual island
#

oh

#

wow

white perch
#

Like you only get lyrics from the api of the song you want

slate swan
#

Again

#

Everything is based on the ToS of the service

#

We don't know what service you use, we don't know if it's allowed or not

#

Read their ToS

maiden fable

#

No, just asking in general, Ksoft shut down for legal reasons (the api rythm used before)

Hello??

Whats the template for Embeds??????

boreal ravine
#

!d discord.Embed

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.Embed 

class discord.Embed(**kwargs)```
Represents a Discord embed.

`len(x)` Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000 character limit.

Certain properties return an `EmbedProxy`, a type that acts similar to a regular [`dict`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#dict "(in Python v3.9)") except using dotted access, e.g. `embed.author.icon_url`. If the attribute is invalid or empty, then a special sentinel value is returned, [`Embed.Empty`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Embed.Empty "discord.Embed.Empty").

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.9)") for you.

Outside of paying or finding a free VPS, there's just hosting it yourself.

yes

dapper cobalt
drifting arrow
# novel rampart this have no reply

At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. If you choose to go the free route, you may not get the greatest service.
Alternatively, you'll have to host the bot yourself (simply run it on your computer or some other device.)

If you do decide to pay out 5 bucks a month, there's some decent options available.

dapper cobalt
#

I paid only $3 to this host and it isn't even monthly, it's once a lifetime.

For me right now, I am contemplating getting a go-daddy VPS. since I already have my website hosted through them.

slate swan
#

Why do you ask us if you're so sure you want to host it there when we say it's not a good plat

novel rampart
drifting arrow
#

@novel rampart Just because he uses it, doesn't mean you should. Not every hosting service is ideal for your needs. For example, some hosting services require you to use UBUNTU or LINUX. I dont have those, and therefore i cant use them. despite wanting to coz of their prices.

slate swan
#

Now choose whatever you want to do.

novel rampart
#

mm

slate swan
#

You should not use Heroku to host your bot.

  • Bots are not what the platform is designed for. Heroku is designed to provide web servers (like Django, Flask, etc). This is why they give you a domain name and open a port on their local emulator.

  • Heroku's environment is heavily containerized, making it significantly underpowered for a standard use case.

  • Heroku's environment is volatile. In order to handle the insane amount of users trying to use it for their own applications, Heroku will dispose your environment every time your application dies unless you pay.

  • Heroku has minimal system dependency control. If any of your Python requirements need C bindings (such as PyNaCl binding to libsodium, or lxml binding to libxml), they are unlikely to function properly, if at all, in a native environment. As such, you often need to resort to adding third-party buildpacks to facilitate otherwise normal CPython extension functionality. (This is the reason why voice doesn't work natively on heroku.)

  • Heroku only offers a limited amount of time on their free programme for your applications. If you exceed this limit, which you probably will, they'll shut down your application until your free credit resets.

!indents

unkempt canyonBOT
#

Indentation

Indentation is leading whitespace (spaces and tabs) at the beginning of a line of code. In the case of Python, they are used to determine the grouping of statements.

Spaces should be preferred over tabs. To be clear, this is in reference to the character itself, not the keys on a keyboard. Your editor/IDE should be configured to insert spaces when the TAB key is pressed. The amount of spaces should be a multiple of 4, except optionally in the case of continuation lines.

Example

def foo():
    bar = 'baz'  # indented one level
    if bar == 'baz':
        print('ham')  # indented two levels
    return bar  # indented one level

The first line is not indented. The next two lines are indented to be inside of the function definition. They will only run when the function is called. The fourth line is indented to be inside the if statement, and will only run if the if statement evaluates to True. The fifth and last line is like the 2nd and 3rd and will always run when the function is called. It effectively closes the if statement above as no more lines can be inside the if statement below that line.

Indentation is used after:
1. Compound statements (eg. if, while, for, try, with, def, class, and their counterparts)
2. Continuation lines

2. Tabs or Spaces?
3. Official docs on indentation

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.ext.commands.Bot.process\_commands 

await process_commands(message)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

This function processes the commands that have been registered to the bot and other groups. Without this coroutine, none of the commands will be triggered.

By default, this coroutine is called inside the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event. If you choose to override the [`on_message()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_message "discord.on_message") event, then you should invoke this coroutine as well.

This is built using other low level tools, and is equivalent to a call to [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") followed by a call to [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke").

This also checks if the message’s author is a bot and doesn’t call [`get_context()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context "discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_context") or [`invoke()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke "discord.ext.commands.Bot.invoke") if so.
slate swan
#

Add that at the bottom of your on_message

lament mesa
untold token
#

Or better, use .listen()

slate swan
#

^

untold token
#

@client.listen()

#

You don't need to call process_commands

#

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.ext.commands.Bot.listen 

listen(name=None)```
A decorator that registers another function as an external event listener. Basically this allows you to listen to multiple events from different places e.g. such as [`on_ready()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.on_ready "discord.on_ready")

The functions being listened to must be a [coroutine](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine "(in Python v3.9)").

Example...
ocean leaf
untold token
#

Hmm

ocean leaf
#

with what i have to use .listen? client.listen?

untold token
#

@client.listen()

#

You need the parentheses and it's a decorator

ocean leaf
#

under all on_message commands?

untold token
#

How many do you have

ocean leaf
untold token
#

And yes, if you have multiple on_message events then use .listen()

ocean leaf
#

bellow all?

untold token
#

It's a decorator

#

So

# 
@client.listen()
async def on_message(message):
  ...
#

Like this

ocean leaf
#

ok

#

without brackets?

untold token
#

It's an external event listener, so you have multiple event listeners of same type, it would work asynchronously and will.not block other events and commands

bruh, i literally said what to do

dont use a dict, use a database instead

lament mesa

No.

hasty iron

json isnt a db

yes

a json file can pretend to be a database tho πŸ˜‰

no it cant

drifting arrow

Lol

untold token

If you use json as a db, you would deal with more issues that good

lament mesa

its mostly used to send data throughout the web

drifting arrow

If you're willing to put the work in, you can use a json file as a database. wont be very good but it will work

The base class that all cogs must inherit from.

A cog is a collection of commands, listeners, and optional state to help group commands together. More information on them can be found on the [Cogs](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/cogs.html#ext-commands-cogs) page.

When inheriting from this class, the options shown in [`CogMeta`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CogMeta "discord.ext.commands.CogMeta") are equally valid here.

drifting arrow
# sweet merlin ya how do i make that

The first block of code is your main discord bot code.
The first 3 functions allow you to manually load, reload, and unload a cog.

The loop is to essentially auto load them so you dont have to.

The second block of code is your cog. A class of commands specific to that cog. You're grouping commands so you dont have a big ol' mess.

A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has **any** of the roles specified. This means that if they have one out of the three roles specified, then this check will return True.

Similar to [`has_role()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.has_role "discord.ext.commands.has_role"), the names or IDs passed in must be exact.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole") if the user is missing all roles, or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

Changed in version 1.1: Raise [`MissingAnyRole`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole "discord.ext.commands.MissingAnyRole") or [`NoPrivateMessage`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage "discord.ext.commands.NoPrivateMessage") instead of generic [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure")

await purge(*, limit=100, check=None, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=False, bulk=True)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Purges a list of messages that meet the criteria given by the predicate `check`. If a `check` is not provided then all messages are deleted without discrimination.

You must have the [`manage_messages`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission to delete messages even if they are your own (unless you are a user account). The [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permission is also needed to retrieve message history.

Internally, this employs a different number of strategies depending on the conditions met such as if a bulk delete is possible or if the account is a user bot or not.

#

!custom-cooldown You can use a custom cooldown for detecting spam, depending on your definition of spam @surreal dust

unkempt canyonBOT
#

Cooldowns in discord.py

Cooldowns can be used in discord.py to rate-limit. In this example, we're using it in an on_message.

from discord.ext import commands

message_cooldown = commands.CooldownMapping.from_cooldown(1.0, 60.0, commands.BucketType.user)

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    bucket = message_cooldown.get_bucket(message)
    retry_after = bucket.update_rate_limit()
    if retry_after:
        await message.channel.send(f"Slow down! Try again in {retry_after} seconds.")
    else:
        await message.channel.send("Not ratelimited!")

from_cooldown takes the amount of update_rate_limit()s needed to trigger the cooldown, the time in which the cooldown is triggered, and a BucketType.

uh if i got what you said correctly this might help

spring flax
lone aurora
#

yes what would be the if statement

#

just

if == message.in channel``` will this work?
#

if i make a channel = client.get_channel()

lament mesa
lone aurora
#

welp there's my question, how do i make if = message.in channel statement

hasty iron
#

what even is that

lone aurora
#

i want to add a reaction if a message is in a certain channel

drifting arrow
#

So I got this code:

@bot.command()
async def build_deck(ctx):
    category = get(ctx.guild.categories, name = "deckbuilder")
    await ctx.guild.create_text_channel("CHANNEL_NAME", category=category)

How would I make it so that specific channel is only viewable by specific people? sorta like how the ticketsbot does it

#

Can discordpy create threads?

#

πŸ€”

hasty iron
#

2.0 yes

drifting arrow
#

How do I check what discordpy im using? i assume i am using latest. but to confirm

drifting arrow
hasty iron
#

how what

#

if you're asking about how to install it

#

you first need to install git

#

and then pip install git+<github url>

#

or you could git clone the repo

#

cd into it and execute setup.py

drifting arrow
#

No i meant, how do to discordthreads with discordpy

hasty iron
#

you need 2.0

drifting arrow
#

alright

#

assume i have it.

hasty iron
#

i just told you how to install it

#

its not on pypi

drifting arrow
#

Whats the github url for discordpy 2.0?

hasty iron
#

its the master branch

drifting arrow
#

oh i probs have the latest version of discord.py then

#

since i started like a week ago.
I did pip install discord.py

hasty iron
#

and for creating a thread you need Message.create_thread or TextChannel.create_thread

#

as i said, its not on pypi

#

you can only install it through git

#

pip install discord.py this fetches it via pypi

drifting arrow
#

aight

#

i got the new 2.0 one. is it the same imports? or how do I import it into my code?

hasty iron
#

its just a new version

gloomy coral
#

uhhhh then wht can i do?

waxen granite
#

futuredate = message.created_at + timedelta(seconds = timeremaining)
how can i convert futuredate in seconds?

hasty iron
#

futuredate.total_seconds()?

lament mesa
waxen granite
hasty iron
#

oh right

#

what do you want exactly

#

cuz there is datetime.seconds

#

are you trying to store it?

lament mesa
#

its timedelta.total_seconds iirc

hasty iron
#

yeah

grim oar
#

!d datetime.timedelta.total_seconds

unkempt canyonBOT
#
datetime.timedelta.total\_seconds 

timedelta.total_seconds()```
Return the total number of seconds contained in the duration. Equivalent to `td / timedelta(seconds=1)`. For interval units other than seconds, use the division form directly (e.g. `td / timedelta(microseconds=1)`).

Note that for very large time intervals (greater than 270 years on most platforms) this method will lose microsecond accuracy.

New in version 3.2.
grim oar
#

See I told you

brisk helm
hasty iron
#

if they want to store it, they could store its timestamp

heavy radish
#

Why am I getting this error?

hasty iron
#

its pretty clear

#

your bot object doesnt have an attribute called launch

#

and that's probably copied code, so stop copying code

Hey guys, i'm trying to turn the binary from gateway.discord.gg to human readable format

#

I've tried a bunch of stuff, but have no idea how to do this

#

b'\xc2\x1b\x1a86\x83\x91\xd7\xe6\xa2\xee\xcc\xc1h\x911Zd\xd0\xad\xc8\x00\x00\x00\x00\xff\xff'

#

An example of binary received

hasty iron
# 
# Z_SYNC_FLUSH suffix
ZLIB_SUFFIX = b'\x00\x00\xff\xff'
# initialize a buffer to store chunks
buffer = bytearray()
# create a zlib inflation context to run chunks through
inflator = zlib.decompressobj()

# ...
def on_websocket_message(msg):
  # always push the message data to your cache
  buffer.extend(msg)

  # check if the last four bytes are equal to ZLIB_SUFFIX
  if len(msg) < 4 or msg[-4:] != ZLIB_SUFFIX:
    return

  # if the message *does* end with ZLIB_SUFFIX,
  # get the full message by decompressing the buffers
  # NOTE: the message is utf-8 encoded.
  msg = inflator.decompress(buffer)
  buffer = bytearray()

  # here you can treat `msg` as either JSON or ETF encoded,
  # depending on your `encoding` param
#

an example from docs

winter jetty
#

I've read through those docs too, but I don't understand this

hasty iron
#

this is how dpy does it

        if type(msg) is bytes:
            self._buffer.extend(msg)

            if len(msg) < 4 or msg[-4:] != b'\x00\x00\xff\xff':
                return
            msg = self._zlib.decompress(self._buffer)
            msg = msg.decode('utf-8')
            self._buffer = bytearray()
``` `self._zlib` is just an instance of `zlib.decompressobj()`
winter jetty
hasty iron
#

and then you json.loads the msg

winter jetty
#

Is the error i'm getting

hasty iron
#

you need to decompress the bytes

winter jetty
hasty iron
#

using that method

winter jetty
# hasty iron you need to decompress the bytes

i've compressed it now.

import zlib


ZLIB_SUFFIX = b'\x00\x00\xff\xff'
# initialize a buffer to store chunks
buffer = bytearray()
# create a zlib inflation context to run chunks through
inflator = zlib.decompressobj()

buffer.extend(to_decode)

!d io.BytesIO

unkempt canyonBOT
#
io.BytesIO 

class io.BytesIO([initial_bytes])```
A binary stream using an in-memory bytes buffer. It inherits [`BufferedIOBase`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/io.html#io.BufferedIOBase "io.BufferedIOBase"). The buffer is discarded when the [`close()`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/io.html#io.IOBase.close "io.IOBase.close") method is called.

The optional argument *initial\_bytes* is a [bytes-like object](https://docs.python.org/3.10/glossary.html#term-bytes-like-object) that contains initial data.

[`BytesIO`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/io.html#io.BytesIO "io.BytesIO") provides or overrides these methods in addition to those from [`BufferedIOBase`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/io.html#io.BufferedIOBase "io.BufferedIOBase") and [`IOBase`](https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/io.html#io.IOBase "io.IOBase"):

!d discord.Client.wait_for

unkempt canyonBOT
#
discord.Client.wait\_for 

wait_for(event, *, check=None, timeout=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The `timeout` parameter is passed onto [`asyncio.wait_for()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#asyncio.wait_for "(in Python v3.9)"). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the [`asyncio.TimeoutError`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-exceptions.html#asyncio.TimeoutError "(in Python v3.9)") for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a [`tuple`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#tuple "(in Python v3.9)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the **first event that meets the requirements**...

I'm a noob, so can you send the code if message = .delete [channelname]

valid galleon
#

so i previously had written some code to send a post from a subreddit, but users complained that it was too slow, and its cuz praw isnt made for an async environment, so i decided to move to asyncpraw. i changed the stuff that was mentioned in the docs, but i get this error:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: 'ListingGenerator' object is not iterable
My code:

        subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("memes")

        all_subs = []

        hot = subreddit.hot(limit = 50)

        for submission in hot:
            all_subs.append(submission)

        random_sub = await random.choice(all_subs)

        name = random_sub.title
        url = random_sub.url

        embed = discord.Embed(title = name)
        embed.set_image(url = url)

        await ctx.send(embed=embed)```
#

the for loop is causing the error

lament mesa
#

random.choice isnt coro

#

and i think subreddit.hot needs to be awaited

#

and you need to have an async for loop

valid galleon
#

@lament mesa discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: object ListingGenerator can't be used in 'await' expression

#

my code:

        subreddit = await reddit.subreddit("memes")

        all_subs = []

        hot = await subreddit.hot(limit = 50)

        async for submission in hot:
            all_subs.append(submission)

        random_sub = await random.choice(all_subs)

        name = random_sub.title
        url = random_sub.url

        embed = discord.Embed(title = name)
        embed.set_image(url = url)

        await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

so that fixed the listing generator error, but now i get this:
