[ebon island]

that will properly catch/handle it?

[slate swan]

You can install it through the command tool, but I’d not think that is in the chrome book version

[manic wing]

      await ctx.send(…)

[lost wolf]

what one

[velvet tinsel]

Hello Caeden

[slate swan]

Average python chat

[velvet tinsel]

correct

[ebon island]

Thanks Caeden, I will try it 🙂

[lost wolf]

@final iron

[slate swan]

Stop pinging him, he will be here in his own time

Learn to have some patience

[lost wolf]

i cant

[slate swan]

Why?

[velvet tinsel]

you cant have patience?

😭

[slate swan]

lol

[velvet tinsel]

I thought you were a discord dev

[slate swan]

Average python user

How can i fix this?

You are a discord bot developer yet your having trouble event downloading python

Good one

[velvet tinsel]

bruh

my old user was downloadpython

[slate swan]

What are you using to run commands

I’ve seen on_message and bot.command() but yield from?

@client.command()

Send whole command

So I can get some context from what your doing

[slate swan]

Are you trying to send a message from the on_message event

[slate swan]

Why are you using % use f to format the str

If so message.channel.send(“text”) should work

[slate swan]

yes

Idk where your getting “yield from” from

[final iron]

I don't use Linux but I guess Gzipped

[slate swan]

Open() is async right

🕴️

[velvet tinsel]

🕴️

[slate swan]

That emoji scares me

[velvet tinsel]

You use aiofiles

[slate swan]

It’s so confusing

[velvet tinsel]

I think

[slate swan]

🕴️

Screaming rn

[velvet tinsel]

I think you use aiofiles

[slate swan]

Contacting my lawyer

how can i create an error handler for IndexError's?

[velvet tinsel]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33824359/read-file-line-by-line-with-asyncio I guess this okim

[velvet tinsel]

Use a try except

[slate swan]

its in an event

would i still use that?

[slate swan]

Im not listening to a stackoverflow solution thats 2 years old🕴️

[velvet tinsel]

It’s not a discord error so I think try except should do fine

[velvet tinsel]

I read ones that are 9

[slate swan]

except Exception for IndexError:
    blah```

right?

[velvet tinsel]

no

except IndexError

[slate swan]

Nope

oh alright

thanks

[manic wing]

no

[final iron]

Try the other one

[slate swan]

And don't use a bare except lol

[manic wing]

you would make an event error handler

[velvet tinsel]

Caeden gonna go god mode

this is my favourite part

[slate swan]

Is there a way I can check if a User has the 10$ version of Nitro?

[slate swan]

Afaik no

[velvet tinsel]

I like it when Caeden says some cool sounding words and becomes hella smart

[slate swan]

Are you obsessed with caiden

[velvet tinsel]

Maybe you have to DOWBLOAD MAINFRAME FOR DISCORD PY AND BECOMR PRO HACKER

[slate swan]

That's unfortunate

[velvet tinsel]

Oh

[manic wing]

!d discord.on_error || but you also need to edit your discord.py sourcecode because danny kinda fucked it up

[unkempt canyon]

discord.on\_error

discord.on_error(event, *args, **kwargs)```
Usually when an event raises an uncaught exception, a traceback is printed to stderr and the exception is ignored. If you want to change this behaviour and handle the exception for whatever reason yourself, this event can be overridden. Which, when done, will suppress the default action of printing the traceback.

The information of the exception raised and the exception itself can be retrieved with a standard call to [`sys.exc_info()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.exc_info "(in Python v3.9)").

If you want exception to propagate out of the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") class you can define an `on_error` handler consisting of a single empty [raise statement](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/simple_stmts.html#raise "(in Python v3.9)"). Exceptions raised by `on_error` will not be handled in any way by [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

[slate swan]

Maybe don’t use a chrome book for python

[velvet tinsel]

I’m not obsessed with caiden

It’s Caeden

[slate swan]

Use an online service for running your python code

[slate swan]

#simpforcaeden lol

[velvet tinsel]

😳

Stack overflow wtf

[velvet tinsel]

Linode

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/fadebahihi.py

this code wants to murder my terminal

i get so many errors

what im trying to do is get a token from a list of bot tokens and get the username and id of it and print it to the console

then running the main bot

[velvet tinsel]

What’s wrong

[slate swan]

everything

[velvet tinsel]

Everything doesn’t specify

[slate swan]

its returning the name and id of the bots in the list

but then it throws an error when trying to run the main bot

i assume its because im using bot.close()

which is throwing off something

[velvet tinsel]

Which error

[slate swan]

ill send teh traceback

[velvet tinsel]

ok

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/donomurilo.sql

[velvet tinsel]

I think

You ran the token twice

And it threw an error

It’s something to do with the run() function ig

[slate swan]

i figured that

the tokens it is running are two seperate bots

(memer and memer2)

you leaked your token

😢

did I

refresh it in the dev portal quickly

Is this how I change a channels permission for a specific role?

member_role = ctx.channel.overwrites_for(918955830810923049)
member_role.send_messages = False

[slate swan]

i checked

i did not

what should I do to prove it to you

I sent it to you

nvm i did

indeed you did

refreshed

it wasnt in any servers anyway

[leaden jasper]

how to make a clear command

[slate swan]

!d discord.TextChannel.purge

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.purge

await purge(*, limit=100, check=..., 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/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.manage_messages "discord.Permissions.manage_messages") permission to delete messages even if they are your own. The [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permission is also needed to retrieve message history.

Examples

Deleting bot’s messages...

[slate swan]

use this method

on ctx.channel for example

[leaden jasper]

ok

i wanna clear all how do i do that

[slate swan]

I don't think nuking a channel is something I'm gonna help you with

[leaden jasper]

huh

[slate swan]

i wouldn't call that nuking

I would

how

deleting every message from a channel

is called nuking it

[leaden jasper]

yep i need to to start my channel message history from fresh

[slate swan]

just because he wants to clear all the messages in a channel doesn't mean he is doing it for a bad purpose

it makes as many API calls as possible aswell

[ebon island]

With regards to this method, I know that Discord itself has a retry method in place, I imagine this has the potential to create conflict with that or at least duplicate messages, is there any way of preventing that or is it a non-issue?

[slate swan]

can't u just delete it then create a new one

[slate swan]

does nuking has to be for a bad purpose tho

[leaden jasper]

im using the id somewhere else so i cant

[slate swan]

well store the id

[leaden jasper]

too much work for one thing

i need a clear command anyway

[slate swan]

you're gonna get rate limited

less work make bot no work

[leaden jasper]

what is the max number to clear in one request

[slate swan]

hm

I don't think there's something like that

and you can set the limit to none which actually nukes the channel

but you should be a lil bit aware of that

[leaden jasper]

nukes as in deletes the channel?

or all the messages in it

[slate swan]

1. discord crashes
2. bot will get rate limited eventually

[slate swan]

this

[leaden jasper]

ok then perfect

thats what i need

[slate swan]

well you'll see

[final iron]

You can clone the channel and delete the original one

[slate swan]

id changes

"too much work to store it"

[leaden jasper]

yep

[slate swan]

so we're nuking the channel

API calls: 8 sideways

[leaden jasper]

wdym?

[slate swan]

infinite api calls

[leaden jasper]

setting limit to None runs forever?

[slate swan]

no

it deletes all messages in a channel

which is a lot of api calls

especially when you have a lot of messages

above 10000, I'd rather just delete the channel

maybe above a couple thousands aswell

[leaden jasper]

no i have less than 1k messages in the channel

this is correct right

  @commands.command()
  async def clear(self, ctx):
    await ctx.channel.purge(limit = None)

[pliant gulch]

If you want to "nuke" a channel, safest way is to clone the channel, delete it. Then add the clone back

[slate swan]

I think so

[leaden jasper]

i dont want to lose the id tho

so deleting all messages is the best way

[final iron]

Again, just store it

[leaden jasper]

for a little task no need

[slate swan]

well

yes need

[leaden jasper]

but thanks

[final iron]

Your bot is going to get rate limited

[pliant gulch]

This wouldn't even work

Limit has to be passed as an int, or not passed at all

Because purge checks the channel's history, that requires an integer

[slate swan]

it would work

[pliant gulch]

No it won't

[slate swan]

I know, cuz I already messed that up

[leaden jasper]

default is 100

[slate swan]

got a channel nuked

[leaden jasper]

None means all

[pliant gulch]

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/4aafa39e8ca7fcdc7acd34295eed41bd3700d44b/discord/iterators.py#L297-L298

[unkempt canyon]

discord/iterators.py lines 297 to 298

if self.limit is None:
    raise ValueError('history does not support around with limit=None')```

[pliant gulch]

No it does not kek

[slate swan]

how

[leaden jasper]

:o

[slate swan]

so how did somebody tell me

in the dpy server

that his channel got nuked

when I told him to set it to None by accident

[pliant gulch]

Not sure how that is possible ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I quite literally just read the source code for purge just barely

It won't work if None is passed to limit

Even checks for it, and raises an error if it is

[leaden jasper]

ill write 100million then

[slate swan]

How to get rate limited 101

[pliant gulch]

That wouldn't work either

The max for history iirc is 100 messages

[leaden jasper]

oh ok

thanks

[slate swan]

How to I edit a roles permission in a channel cause this won't work.

await ctx.channel.set_permissions(918955830810923049, send_messages=False)

How do I run 2 bots at once then close one of them

[final iron]

Considering what's going on in #python-discussion I'm going to avoid helping you for the time being

[slate swan]

Wtf did I do wrong

[final iron]

What you're doing is strange

[slate swan]

It’s a bot running program for ease of accesss

I’m trying to access a list of bots that I have saved in a text file

[final iron]

And that's what's strange about it

[slate swan]

I would just write the tokens in manually

But I prefer to have it in a text file

I’ll explain my full code

[crystal cliff]

a .env is easier, just copy the token.

[slate swan]

It gets all the tokens in a text file and checks if they are valid

Just in case I’ve typed a token in wrong

And to avoid some run errors

Then it runs that token and gets the username and ID of the bot

It closes the bot

[final iron]

Why do you have so many tokens?

[slate swan]

I have 2

[crystal cliff]

you using discord.py @slate swan

[slate swan]

Because I have 2 bots

[slate swan]

Yes?

[final iron]

Then why not do it manually?

[slate swan]

Because it’s supposed to be a program for ease of acces

[cloud dawn]

bro like i told you you need to do it differently

[crystal cliff]

are you running 2 bots on the same code?

[cloud dawn]

They are just going to tell you the same thing

[slate swan]

Then explains how to do it

[cloud dawn]

I did you just left

[cloud dawn]

https://discordapp.com/channels/267624335836053506/267624335836053506/918981761550131230

[slate swan]

Because you told me to go here for bot inquires

Idk how you spell it

[cloud dawn]

That was eivl

[slate swan]

I listened to him

Because it was about discord bots

[crystal cliff]

can you show the code without the tokens pls @slate swan

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/eroyagamen.py

this is the code im using

im opening and closing a bot

thats it

[cloud dawn]

How many tokens do you have?

[slate swan]

2

My bots

[cloud dawn]

okay if you got a list [1, 2] would you for loop this?

[slate swan]

There are more things in the list

There’s false tokens

[cloud dawn]

Then you will get errors??

[slate swan]

That’s why I’m checking for valid tokens

[cloud dawn]

Me=confusion

But.. why do you have none valid tokens?

[slate swan]

To test the valid token checker

[cloud dawn]

[slate swan]

And so I have a reason to loop it

how does discord secure tokens from people typing random tokens?

[slate swan]

They dont

[cloud dawn]

It is pretty impressive if you can get a token out of it.

[slate swan]

It’s 59 characters in a token

So there is a VERY low chance you will get a working one

[slate swan]

how many chances are they?

more than a billion i would guess

[cloud dawn]

Fact that you also know the exact length is very sus

[slate swan]

To check for valid tokens

[slate swan]

fr fr

[cloud dawn]

!e ```py
print(262610**56)

[unkempt canyon]

@cloud dawn :white_check_mark: Your eval job has completed with return code 0.

67600000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

[slate swan]

A lot

thats allot lol

So there would be no point to brute force tokens

Because it would take century’s

[cloud dawn]

@slate swanDo you know what try/except is?

[slate swan]

Yes

[cloud dawn]

Then why isn't that in the 'validator' if you are checking for wrong tokens?

[slate swan]

I’m just checking for 59 characters

I’m getting the base code down

I’ll add it later

[cloud dawn]

[slate swan]

Maybe if you would help me I would add it

[slate swan]

🚶

[cloud dawn]

Show the whole code and i agree

[slate swan]

every single bit of my code

[cloud dawn]

Yes.

single or multiple files?

[slate swan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/bemuxewice.py

one file

and tokens.txt contains... tokens

[cloud dawn]

hmm

@slate swanShould i help him? I need a second opinion.

Validating tokens is kinda

[slate swan]

I’m gonna release this program online when I’m finished

So other people can use it

It’s a utility for discord bots, to make it easier to make one

[cloud dawn]

To check if a token is valid? What would that benefit?

[slate swan]

If people put in invalid tokens without knowing it

It helps the user

[cloud dawn]

How will it help the user?

[slate swan]

By telling them if it’s invalid

[cloud dawn]

I'm pretty active here and most issues here are not token related

Current code already does that..?

[slate swan]

Idk seems weird as a user would do that

Its nothing bad its just easy to make it against tos

Everything is easy to make against tos

[cloud dawn]

I'm asking the mods rn if they agree then i will help. It's not you i've helped some people b4 to later find out they just used it to break ToS.

[slate swan]

Ok

It can be malicious which is against tos and rules in this server

It’s really obscure. I understand why you would be suspect for something against TOS

This is correct isn't it?

[slate swan]

?

channel = await self.bot.fetch_channel(917238203101089832)

sorry forgot to send code lmao

[slate swan]

Yeah

[cloud dawn]

Well try to get it from the cache first but other than that 👍

[slate swan]

This is why I’m not gonna post the source code for the program online because people are gonna use it for stuff against tos

[slate swan]

Yeah its sensitive stuff

[cloud dawn]

?????

[slate swan]

Yes, but not the source

I’ll post the exe file

[manic wing]

oh that makes it better :)

[slate swan]

I don’t think it would be decompilable

[manic wing]

well at least they know its safe :)

[cloud dawn]

😂

[slate swan]

Ok

!rule 5

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

5. Do not provide or request help on projects that may break laws, breach terms of services, or are malicious or inappropriate.

[cloud dawn]

I'm still waiting for the mods.

[slate swan]

And it’s not against it

See what the mods say

[cloud dawn]

To be honest i'm not certain so let's just wait for their opinion.

[slate swan]

Making it a exe makes it even better for users

[slate swan]

Is this sarcastic?

[manic wing]

yes.

[slate swan]

🕴️

[cloud dawn]

Also smart screen, an unsafe program is going to get executed, do you wish to continue?

[slate swan]

You don’t need to install python to run it

[tight obsidian]

@slate swan Why do you need to check tokens?

[slate swan]

Exactly

[tight obsidian]

That's not something you should ask for help here.

[slate swan]

My problem is running two bots at once

[ashen notch]

Nothing about this smells right

[ashen notch]

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with us fielding this

[cloud dawn]

No... you wanted to validate tokens??? You didn't ask about running 2 bots, only later.

[slate swan]

Send a single peice of evidence asking how to validate tokens

I know how to validate them

I don’t need help with that

[cloud dawn]

So a definite no on the token validator, i can help with the 2 bots in one file?

[ashen notch]

Yeah, I'm shutting this down. We're not helping with this

[slate swan]

Mods are shutting it down anyway

[cloud dawn]

Okay thanks for clarifying guys.

[slate swan]

I’m just gonna ask stack overflow

[ashen notch]

For clarification, regardless of whether or not the question is about having two bots in a file or not, it's clear that this is all rather sketchy and against ToS. I'm not having our server linked with anything like that.

There should never be a time that you need to "validate" a file full of tokens

[slate swan]

There’s 2 tokens

[slate swan]

The questions werent very clear and confusing which made it really sketchy and questionable

And there both mine

[cloud dawn]

And you got invalid token(s) inside it, therefor i responded why not keep the 2 valid ones. But you quite insisted on validating it.

[manic wing]

why do you want to upload the exe then?

[slate swan]

Because I’m trying to make a program in python

[ashen notch]

Nothing about what your code says or what you just said is believable. If this question gets asked again here further moderative action will be taken. Okay? Okay

[slate swan]

Making it a exe and easier makes it even more suspicious

[slate swan]

Okay dokay

[cloud dawn]

Okay but considering the mods already shut it down let's get back on topic :)

[slate swan]

And I assume me asking further questions about discord.py will get no results

Like last time this happened

Is this how I add reactions?

[cloud dawn]

It will but not those 2 questions like the mods mentioned.

[slate swan]

        poll = await channel.send(embed=poll_embed)

        await poll.add_reaction(":arrow_up_small:")
        await poll.add_reaction(":arrow_down_small:")

[slate swan]

Ok

[slate swan]

Yes

ok cool

[cloud dawn]

I recommend just testing it out, result is satisfying

[slate swan]

Ikr

Very beautiful

[cloud dawn]

Hmm i especially if i have been coding for an hour then decided to test it to see if i'm still doing it correct and it just passes all test owww

[slate swan]

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not 😂

[manic wing]

he's not.

Why do I receive this error when there is no other command called ping.

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandRegistrationError: The command ping is already an existing command or alias.

[cloud dawn]

Did you restart/reload and are working in the correct file?

speaking from experience

Did you also try CTRL+F "ping" across all files?

[slate swan]

Yeah I am 100% running from the correct file and have tried multiple times but still receive the same error.

I thought ctrl + f only works within the file you are working in

[manic wing]

did you do alias=['ping'] or something?

[cloud dawn]

CTRL+SHIFT+F allows all file search for current projects.

[slate swan]

ah ok

[manic wing]

it depends your IDE does it not?

[slate swan]

Found it!

[cloud dawn]

Atom and VScode support this feature.

[slate swan]

ctrl + shift + f found it, thanks

[manic wing]

yeah noone cares about pycharm anyway

[cloud dawn]

Mighty tool.

[slate swan]

i use vscode

[cloud dawn]

Pretty sure Pycharm has it too lemme check

    return False

[cloud dawn]

hehe

[cloud dawn]

Why not have this in a dict? This looks very complicated

[manic wing]

agreed

[dire folio]

i should

but i want to do smth later and i feel like it would be a lot easier in an array

!d discord.ext.commands.check

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.check

@discord.ext.commands.check(predicate)```
A decorator that adds a check to the [`Command`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command "discord.ext.commands.Command") or its subclasses. These checks could be accessed via [`Command.checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Command.checks "discord.ext.commands.Command.checks").

These checks should be predicates that take in a single parameter taking a [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context"). If the check returns a `False`-like value then during invocation a [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure") exception is raised and sent to the [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error") event.

If an exception should be thrown in the predicate then it should be a subclass of [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError"). Any exception not subclassed from it will be propagated while those subclassed will be sent to [`on_command_error()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error "discord.discord.ext.commands.on_command_error").

[manic wing]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.check || you would use a check. it triggers before each command and if it returns True, then it activates, else it doesnt. py @bot.check async def bot_check(ctx): if ctx.author.id == blacklisted_id: return False #dont acctivate command. Raises GlobalCheckFailure return True

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.check

@check```
A decorator that adds a global check to the bot.

A global check is similar to a [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that is applied on a per command basis except it is run before any command checks have been verified and applies to every command the bot has.

Note

This function can either be a regular function or a coroutine.

Similar to a command [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check"), this takes a single parameter of type [`Context`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Context "discord.ext.commands.Context") and can only raise exceptions inherited from [`CommandError`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CommandError "discord.ext.commands.CommandError").

[slate swan]

weird

[manic wing]

oi go away i gave a better explanation you just typed it first 😡

[fresh kestrel]

is it possible to display a jpg as an emoji inside of a message?

[manic wing]

no.

[slate swan]

I didn't mean to do that sorry @cloud dawn

[manic wing]

you need to make the jpg and emoji

[fresh kestrel]

ah ok, figured as much

[cloud dawn]

Idm accidents can happen.

[cloud dawn]

Yeah first look if it is an image in the embed then convert it and post it then delete it. It is possible though.

[manic wing]

they can? lol

[cloud dawn]

You are right next time i will show no mercy

[manic wing]

better.

[fresh kestrel]

sounds slow, have you ever done this before?

[potent light]

Heroku pricing is a bit confusing. Does the hobby plan have 10M database rows?

[cloud dawn]

God no hahaha

[cloud dawn]

You know how much data you can store with this.

[potent light]

10M? lmao

[cloud dawn]

Lol that is a lot a lot

That is like groovy amount.

[potent light]

What I mean is whether I will get that amount of database rows by purchasing a hobby plan or not.

cause their pricing is confusing.

[cloud dawn]

Unless you make it really inefficient

Link?

[potent light]

https://www.heroku.com/pricing

@cloud dawn

[cloud dawn]

I don't see anything about database rows

[potent light]

Heroku Postgres

and that's why I was saying that it's confusing xD

[cloud dawn]

Oh

yeah hobby is 10m

Heroku is pretty damn expensive though jeez

250 bucks a month for 2.5gb ram

Then i can setup my own server in a year lol

[placid meadow]

whats the error , i'm trying to delete the guild id in servers.json.

!open

[unkempt canyon]

Opening files

The built-in function open() is one of several ways to open files on your computer. It accepts many different parameters, so this tag will only go over two of them (file and mode). For more extensive documentation on all these parameters, consult the official documentation. The object returned from this function is a file object or stream, for which the full documentation can be found here.

See also:
• !tags with for information on context managers
• !tags pathlib for an alternative way of opening files
• !tags seek for information on changing your position in a file

The file parameter

This should be a path-like object denoting the name or path (absolute or relative) to the file you want to open.

An absolute path is the full path from your root directory to the file you want to open. Generally this is the option you should choose so it doesn't matter what directory you're in when you execute your module.

See !tags relative-path for more information on relative paths.

The mode parameter

This is an optional string that specifies the mode in which the file should be opened. There's not enough room to discuss them all, but listed below are some of the more confusing modes.

'r+' Opens for reading and writing (file must already exist)
'w+' Opens for reading and writing and truncates (can create files)
'x' Creates file and opens for writing (file must not already exist)
'x+' Creates file and opens for reading and writing (file must not already exist)
'a+' Opens file for reading and writing at end of file (can create files)

[desert heart]

You need to indent everything under the function definition

[cloud dawn]

https://discordapp.com/channels/267624335836053506/343944376055103488/822824159091884042

[desert heart]

Notice how line 62 is at the same indentation level as line 63. That's incorrect.

[placid meadow]

right , so how do i make a database

[potent light]

@cloud dawn my internet isn't the best so I can't rely on it now. Do you have any better alternative than Heroku?
I need to host 2 bots and I need a Postgres database.

[cloud dawn]

For free? No.

[potent light]

Paid.

[cloud dawn]

Then AWS but you will need a credit card

[desert heart]

I recall some people on staff praising netcup https://www.netcup.eu/

[potent light]

Their pricing system is the worst imo

[desert heart]

There are so many options for hosting and they all have competitive pricing.

[cloud dawn]

This is cheap holy

[potent light]

They don't seem to have a Postgres database.

[cloud dawn]

With this amount of RAM you can just run it inside the VPS lol

[desert heart]

Oh you want a managed db instance?

Cause yeah, you can run pg yourself in the server

[slate swan]

!invite

Hmm

'a+' Opens file for reading and writing at end of file (can create files)

[cloud dawn]

It will be a bit slower than having an actual server handling all the connections but still for starters. Will also save the hassle.

[potent light]

Sounds like a hustle XD

[cloud dawn]

Well you can just install it it's pretty easy.

[potent light]

Heroku has one, I want something like that tbh

[cloud dawn]

24GB for 16 bucks a month jeez next time i'm hosting my minecraft server there lol

If they allow port forwarding that is.

Prob not lol

[cloud dawn]

.bm yes

[potent light]

@cloud dawn they don't have a good documentation tho.

I can't see a tutorial on how to set up a Discord bot on Netcup.

[cloud dawn]

It's a vps

[potent light]

and? XD

[cloud dawn]

you need to setup the vps first?

It's not as straight forwards as Heroku.

vps is basically a remote virtual machine

best is to use unix based since windows is a bit heavy

[ebon island]

What is the best package for Asynchronous HTTP Requests to an API within a DPY project for things like user data storage etc?

[pliant gulch]

Aiohttp

Err

I understand what you mean now

Prob quart or fastapi

[ebon island]

So aiohttp to send the HTTP request and fast API for the actual API? Sounds like something I can definitely make happen!

[cloud dawn]

quart has a build in discord module

!pypi Quart-Discord

[unkempt canyon]

Quart-Discord v2.1.4

Discord OAuth2 extension for Quart.

[cloud dawn]

!pypi discord-ext-ipc

[unkempt canyon]

discord-ext-ipc v2.1.1

A discord.py extension for inter-process communication.

[ebon island]

Really? That's awesome! What does the built in module intended to handle?

[cloud dawn]

authentication by logging ins some other stuff.

[lost wolf]

AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'Command'```

[cloud dawn]

That is true.

[lost wolf]

how to fix?

[cloud dawn]

Use bot

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix, help_command=<default-help-command>, description=None, **options)```
Represents a discord bot.

This class is a subclass of [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") and as a result anything that you can do with a [`discord.Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client") you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses [`GroupMixin`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin "discord.ext.commands.GroupMixin") to provide the functionality to manage commands.

[lost wolf]

so discord.Bot() instead of discord.Client()?

[potent light]

@cloud dawn I will probably end up using ElephantSQL and netcup.

[cloud dawn]

discord.ext.commands.Bot

[cloud dawn]

I recommend reading this and clicking the url

[lost wolf]

client = class discord.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix=".", help_command="help", description=None)

[slate swan]

No

[lost wolf]

sorry im new to dpy

[slate swan]

bot = commands.Bot(**kwargs)

[jade tartan]

Heyy i am not sure what this might be called but when a member gets verified or like reacts to a role to be verified in the server can it send a message to where itll say that this member has been verified?

[sick birch]

Sure

You can send any message to a discord.Messagable subclass

[fresh kestrel]

how can i use a PIL image in an embed?

[sick birch]

discord.Member, discord.TextChannel are common subclasses of discord.Messagable

[jade tartan]

ok How is it done?

[sick birch]

all discord.Messagable subclasses have a send() method

Which, as you may have guessed, can be used to send a message to that channel/user

[slate swan]

Sure , save the image locally first , and ```py
embed = discord.Embed()
embed.set_image(
url="attachment://filename.png"
)
image = discord.File("/path/to/filename.png")
await ctx.send(
embed=embed,
file=image
)

[jade tartan]

Ok and thats a @client.event right?

[sick birch]

No it's a coroutine

[slate swan]

Wait for a reaction and get the author of it and mention the author

[jade tartan]

Can you walk me through it?

[slate swan]

I think it has a author attr

[slate swan]

Nah never done it before

[sick birch]

Sure, where do you want to send the message to?

A DM or a channel?

[jade tartan]

A channel

and dm

both

[sick birch]

Right, do you have access to the discord.TextChannel object and the discord.Member object?

You should if you have the ctx

[jade tartan]

ohh wait hang on ill do that now

[covert igloo]

@sick birch how do i get all the messages from a channel

[jade tartan]

Can i like choose any name on the async def?

part

[sick birch]

Why are you making an async def

Are you trying to make a command?

[sick birch]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html?highlight=history#discord.abc.Messageable.history

Generator of any discord.Messageable subclass

[slate swan]

If its a command yes you can name the function anything

[sick birch]

Well

[jade tartan]

no just a client.event?

[slate swan]

If a event depends what your waiting for

[sick birch]

Personally naming a command ban, kick, etc... causes issues

[slate swan]

Yeah except that

[sick birch]

Try to avoid naming your commands after the library's method

[jade tartan]

acually didnt cause any issue for me

[sick birch]

If you absolutely must, you can prefix the command with an underscore, and pass in the name= kwarg into the decorator with the actual name that you'd use on discord

[jade tartan]

tho

[slate swan]

Naming a function methods will give you naming errors

[jade tartan]

those 2 commands works perfectly fine for me

[sick birch]

Odd

[jade tartan]

yeah

Any way so i dont do async def ?

[slate swan]

Most commands give hinting or naming erros

[jade tartan]

none of that happened

[slate swan]

Nope as your defining async functions afaik

[royal jasper]

how can I make a command only usable once and never again?

[slate swan]

Might be wrong but i dont think i am

[sick birch]

Have some sort of persistent data storage method (database preferable), a key like "is_used" of a boolean value that indicates if it's been used or not

you can then use the @before_invoke decorator to define if the function should be called or not

[slate swan]

After a command add a value to a var and if that var is that value disable the command

[sick birch]

Or, alternatively, after the command is called, disable it

[slate swan]

Can you do that?

[slate swan]

Yeah

[jade tartan]

Ok so how so?

[slate swan]

Wdym?

[covert igloo]

im getting this

[jade tartan]

For the verified message?

for both dm and channel

[covert igloo]

async def get1(ctx, channel : discord.TextChannel):

    async for message in ctx.channel.history(limit=200):

        print(message)```

[jade tartan]

in a class.event

[slate swan]

You need the positional argument

[jade tartan]

plz bear with me as my english is my 2nd langauge

[slate swan]

Use the (on_member_join) event

[slate swan]

Same lol

[covert igloo]

how do i do that

[slate swan]

You add the arg

[jade tartan]

like i want it to be when a member is verified want it to send a message saying .... and to send it in a channel and dm

[slate swan]

Aka the channel obj

[jade tartan]

and if that does not happen

[covert igloo]

just add channel as a param?

[jade tartan]

it sends a message to a member that u would need to get verified to be able to see the rest of the server channels

[slate swan]

After a join add a role and on reaction you remove the role

[jade tartan]

for both payload function?

or sorry def

[covert igloo]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

~channel id

Remove self

[lost wolf]

but i need self

[slate swan]

Is it in a cog?

So

[lost wolf]

no

[slate swan]

Then remove it

No need for it

self is used to acces the class the command is in

[lost wolf]

then what do i use for self?

[slate swan]

Delete it

you can use botvar for it

it prints author etc but not the actual message

[lost wolf]

never heard of it

[broken plinth]

I'm currently new to python and i whant to know how to code?

hello?

[visual island]

!botvar

[unkempt canyon]

Python allows you to set custom attributes to most objects, like your bot! By storing things as attributes of the bot object, you can access them anywhere you access your bot. In the discord.py library, these custom attributes are commonly known as "bot variables" and can be a lifesaver if your bot is divided into many different files. An example on how to use custom attributes on your bot is shown below:

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")
# Set an attribute on our bot
bot.test = "I am accessible everywhere!"

@bot.command()
async def get(ctx: commands.Context):
    """A command to get the current value of `test`."""
    # Send what the test attribute is currently set to
    await ctx.send(ctx.bot.test)

@bot.command()
async def setval(ctx: commands.Context, *, new_text: str):
    """A command to set a new value of `test`."""
    # Here we change the attribute to what was specified in new_text
    bot.test = new_text

This all applies to cogs as well! You can set attributes to self as you wish.

Be sure not to overwrite attributes discord.py uses, like cogs or users. Name your attributes carefully!

Yeah i just sometimes do it

[slate swan]

With the event just add the unverified role and on reaction remove it

[jade tartan]

How?

Do you get what am trying to do?

[slate swan]

bot.wait_for("reaction")
iirc

gangster , you trying to do something like -> member joins -> unverified and other roles get added -> when the user reacts on some message , the unverified role gets removed?

[visual island]

either reaction_add or reaction_remove

[slate swan]

Yeah that

[hybrid fjord]

is there any possible way to make a bot listen to other bots?

[slate swan]

You make the bot type in the commands of other bots

[jade tartan]

not really

[slate swan]

Then what exactly?

[hybrid fjord]

yeah but bots dont listen to other bots, that's just how discord works. is there any workaround though?

[slate swan]

Please elaborate

[jade tartan]

ok hold up

[slate swan]

Bots do

Some bots can but i dont think you can with dpy

[hybrid fjord]

damn

[slate swan]

As mee6 does take commands but those are private wrappers

I think with discord client you can

And not the bot instance

[jade tartan]

When a member reacts to this i want it to where itll send a message to DM and channel to when this member has go verified and is able to talk in channel now

And if it has failed

it either sends his another message saying to either verify again or kicks him from the server

Make sense?

[slate swan]

On join add a role which doesnt have permission for anything then on reaction you dm the author and remove the role with no permission and send a message with a mention of the author

You can add a timeout and after that it will send a msg if not verified it will kick the member

[jade tartan]

ok can you walk me through it?

[slate swan]

^

[slate swan]

^

[jade tartan]

is DM await member.send(embed=Myembed) RIght?

[slate swan]

Yes

The member obj on join

[jade tartan]

async def on_member_join(member: discord.Member):
        guild = client.get_guild(730651046459998218)
        channel = client.get_channel(885464532959526913)
        Myembed = discord.Embed(title= f"Welcome",
        description=(f"Welcome {member.mention}, You are member {guild.member_count}. \n Please enjoy your stay here and dont forget to read the await [#904279966693355550](/guild/267624335836053506/channel/904279966693355550/)"))

        Myembed.add_field(name="Account Created at:", value=f"{member.created_at(datetime)}", inline=True)
        await channel.send(embed=Myembed)
        await member.send(embed=Myembed)
        roles_list = ["Unverified","•.¸¸.•:Colours:•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•","•.¸¸.•:Verification:•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•","•.¸¸.•:Age:•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•","•.¸¸.•:Gender:•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•","•.¸¸.•:Sexuality:•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•``•.¸¸.•",

        for roles in roles_list:
            role = discord.utils.get(member.guild.roles, name=roles)
            await member.add_roles(role)```

This is my code

[slate swan]

Yes

It will add the unverified role

Then send a msg and wait for a reaction after the reaction it will remove the roles

[jade tartan]

Is that with a ctx attribute?

[gaunt wedge]

👍

[slate swan]

Wdym?

[jade tartan]

The message part do i add await ctx.send(You will need to react to the emoji in 5 more minutes. Or action consequence will occur.)

something like that

[slate swan]

No since you arent waiting for context

Just send a msg with the channel obj

[jade tartan]

WIll work?

Message = discord.Message(description= f"Please pick your gender role by reacting to the emoji"

idk

[slate swan]

No?

[jade tartan]

plz guide me through?

[slate swan]

You use the channel obj you got

In this case the channel you got is in the channel var which channel has the .send attr

[jade tartan]

await channel.send(embed=Myembed)

[slate swan]

Yes

[jade tartan]

Ohh and i just replace it with? You will need to react to the emoji in 5 more minutes. Or action consequence will occur.

[slate swan]

If thats what you want to send yes

And after everything you can clear the channel if that is what you want

[jade tartan]

Ok then and how do i make it to where itll kick a member when he/she doesnt react to a certain timeframe?

[slate swan]

I think wait_for has a kwarg for timeout

[jade tartan]

Where is that placed?

[slate swan]

Where you want to wait for a reaction

[jade tartan]

async def reaction_test(ctx):
    await ctx.send(f"**{ctx.author}**, please react with :white_check_mark: or :x: on this message in 60 seconds")
    
    def check(r: discord.Reaction, u: Union[discord.Member, discord.User]):
        return u.id == ctx.author.id and r.message.channel.id == ctx.channel.id and \
               str(r.emoji) in ["\U00002705", "\U0000274c"]
    try:
        reaction, user = await client.wait_for(event = 'reaction_add', check = check, timeout = 60.0)
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        await ctx.send(f"**{ctx.author}**, you didnt react with a ✅ or ❌ in 60 seconds.")
        return
    else:
        if str(reaction.emoji) == "\U00002705":
            return await ctx.send(f"{ctx.author} reacted with a ✅")
``` Will this work?

[slate swan]

Run the code.

[jade tartan]

Well before this is this how it can work when a member doesnt react to the emoji in a certain time frame? if "VALORANT" in message.content: await message.author.kick(reason = "He said the word")

[slate swan]

After the timeout just send a message

I think on timeout you can send a msg

[slate swan]

Dont know much about union but try lowercase

[jade tartan]

Nope same?

[slate swan]

Dont really know

About Type hinting something with 2 types or objs in this case

Aka union

[jade tartan]

What?

[slate swan]

Union is used to type hint 2 types am i correct?

[jade tartan]

umm yea

Am confused?

[slate swan]

How exactly?

[jade tartan]

What u mean by this

the command doesnt work

[slate swan]

I think its Union[type,type]

[jade tartan]

ohh right yeah and?

[slate swan]

Then why question?

[jade tartan]

Doesn't work still

ohh wait i didnt import the module

hold up

[jade tartan]

yeah still command aint work

working

[ocean leaf]

how to get a list of all commands of my bot but not as object. I want it to be a list like this ['>ping', '>avatar'] with prefix.

[slate swan]

you would have to loop thru bot.commands which returns all command objects , and use .name attribute to get the command names

[slate swan]

or you can write it yourself

[boreal ravine]

eh, not recommended though since there's already a better way to do it

[boreal ravine]

^^ just list comp bot.commands

[sage otter]

Sorta. Its basically telling your IDE "this value can be this type or this type".

[slate swan]

Ik it was a jk lol

[slate swan]

Yeah ik

[ocean leaf]

with prefix?

[ocean leaf]

what if the bot has like 500 commands

[final iron]

All nighter time

[ocean leaf]

dosent work

nvm i fixed

[weary gale]

    embed.add_field(inline = False, name="guild name:", value=member.display_name)```
how do i make the id and display name embedded with this code, to make them look like the times?

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

Token = "The Token"

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=".", owner_id=521325126722125874)

client.run(Token)
print("Launch successful")

doesn't print Launch successful even when bot goes online

[maiden fable]

Cz no code after client.run works

[slate swan]

what do u recommend i do to print launch successful?

on_ready

?

[final iron]

Really what ever you want

[slate swan]

you can simply use .join to join the prefix

[slate swan]

that's the neat part, i dont know what im supposed to do!

[maiden fable]

Put it before client.run

[slate swan]

or use get_prefix method

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.get_prefix

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.get\_prefix

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

Retrieves the prefix the bot is listening to with the message as a context.

[final iron]

Its usually popular to say: {Bots Name} is online. I've also seen some creative ones like the uptime of the bot, and some statistics since its been last shut off/restarted

[slate swan]

how to do that

[final iron]

Which one?

[slate swan]

print {Bots Name} is online

@final iron

[final iron]

I haven't worked with discord.py for a while but

[quasi axle]

const Discord = require('discord.js');

const client = new Discord.client();

client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Twinnem is online!');
}

client.login('token');

what did i do wrong

[slate swan]

i think i've figured it out

ty

[final iron]

Wrong server

[outer basalt]

    @tasks.loop(seconds=5)
    async def dispatch_webhooks(self):
        await self.bot.wait_until_ready()

        if self.logging_batch:
            for webhook, embeds in self.logging_batch.items():
                if embeds:
                    to_send = embeds[:10]
                    print(to_send)

                    webhook_to_send = discord.Webhook.from_url(webhook, session=self.bot.session, bot_token=self.bot.http.token)
                    await webhook_to_send.send(embeds=to_send, username=f"LogRack Logging", avatar_url=self.bot.user.avatar.url)

                    self.logging_batch[webhook] = embeds[10:]

i have this task, this should send 2 embeds but it only sending 1 embed any reason for that? it prints [<discord.embeds.Embed object at 0x05ECF340>, <discord.embeds.Embed object at 0x05ECF148>] and send only the second 1

[ocean leaf]

yes thats what i'm doing

[desert heart]

Looks fine to me at a glance. If possible, use a debugger to set breakpoints and inspect what the actual API request is.

[outer basalt]

actually i dont know how to use debugger, if you can help me

[desert heart]

Are you using an IDE

[outer basalt]

vsc

[maiden fable]

Still it's not working?

[outer basalt]

nah

[maiden fable]

Oops

[desert heart]

This explains the basics https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/debugging. You'll want to set a breakpoint on the webhook send() line. Then use the step into button until you reach discord.py's internals and can see the HTTP request it built. You can see the value of local variables in the side bar on the left.

Not sure if that is a sufficient explanation but if you're willing to try go for it and I'll try to help more if I can.

Remove self

[sullen shoal]

you type it as the first argument of the function

also is that a cog

ugh

show code

do i also remove activity

[slate swan]

nop im trying to squish the code into main.py cause i dont think im ready to learn cogs

[sullen shoal]

looks like youre doing completely wrong stuff in it

[slate swan]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import Activity

async def on_ready():
print("Launch Successful!")
await client.change_presence(activity=Activity(name=f"branch {version}", type=2))
client.run(Token)

[sullen shoal]

dont name Bot instance as client its not what python devs do, dont do stuff on on_ready event, it is not the right thing to change presence

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.activity

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.activity

property activity: Optional[Union[discord.activity.Activity, discord.activity.Game, discord.activity.CustomActivity, discord.activity.Streaming, discord.activity.Spotify]]```
The activity being used upon logging in.

[slate swan]

They dont?🕴️

[sullen shoal]

put it their

[sullen shoal]

?

[slate swan]

Python devs dont name bot instance client🕴️

[sullen shoal]

you may want to read the message again ig

[slate swan]

idk man but client.run looks way cooler then bot.run

[slate swan]

Why do python devs call the bot instance bot🕴️

And not client🕴️

Im joking lmfao😭

[sullen shoal]

the thing is that, there is another thing called discord.Client and when you would ask for help, we would expect that you named that thing as client not Bot

[slate swan]

Are you telling that to me🕴️

[sullen shoal]

both of you

[slate swan]

[sullen shoal]

and another reason is that

the class is called Bot

[slate swan]

I was joking🕴️

I know about discords client 🕴️

[sullen shoal]

so the instance needs to be called something like that as well

alright i get it

looks like i ruined the joke

[slate swan]

I was joking🚶

[slate swan]

Yes you did🚶 🕴️

Keep stepping into the code (F11) until you reach the point where it's created the HTTP request payload

[slate swan]

No🕴️

[sullen shoal]

from typing import Optional, Union

[desert heart]

Then inspect that payload to see if it has both embeds in it

[slate swan]

What exactly are you trying do?

[outer basalt]

debug the code

[outer basalt]

where can i see that?

[slate swan]

prob gonna change it to "Federal Bureau Of Investigations"

[slate swan]

😳

[desert heart]

Do you want to get in voice chat here and screen share? Then I could guide you through it easier.

in 5-7min?

lmao what

[slate swan]

what are you even trying to do?

[slate swan]

have a discord actvity

something like
"Listening to Lofi"

[sullen shoal]

i linked the docs to Bot.activity and he straight up copy pasted the docs

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.change_presence , or activity kwarg in commands.Bot

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.change\_presence

how does one fix this

[slate swan]

show code

[slate swan]

no token

is that all? i dont see e/Desktop/vsc test/bot.py" there

[weary gale]

ik that bruh

[weary gale]

thats literally it

no liek

[slate swan]

how do you run it?

[weary gale]

thats the error that comes up

[sullen shoal]

not my repo but i helped him with it some time ago,
https://github.com/CristianEduardMihai/dpy-music-bot/blob/main/bot.py#L22-L29

[slate swan]

just to clarify for discord.Game("") im supposed to add a api right?

[weary gale]

press dis butin heer

[slate swan]

use this instead....

run without debugging

[weary gale]

oh

wow

albert einstein over here

[sullen shoal]

tbh that thing is slow asf, should run it from the terminal

[slate swan]

yea

[weary gale]

how does one host a bot

keep it online

[sullen shoal]

run it 24/7

thats what a vps does

[weary gale]

*for free

[sullen shoal]

self host is the best option for free

[slate swan]

takes not more than 3 secs for me O.o

[weary gale]

how can i do that

[sullen shoal]

running it from the terminal takes 1

[sullen shoal]

run it 24/7

[jovial plover]

discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: Forbidden: 403 Forbidden (error code: 60003): Two factor is required for this operation

Im trying to create channel, but i get this error

[weary gale]

wdym like keep vsc open 24/7

[jovial plover]

how to solve?

[sullen shoal]

ya basically

[weary gale]

bruh

[sullen shoal]

just pay the electricity bills thats it

or buy some super cheap vps

[jovial plover]

get a aws ec2 instance, costs $1/month if u run 24/7

[jovial plover]

any help with my issue please?

[sullen shoal]

idk looks like youre self botting

are you

[final iron]

Lets see the code

[jovial plover]

async def test(ctx):
        await ctx.guild.create_text_channel('test-channel')```

[final iron]

Indentation is wrong but thats fine

[sullen shoal]

i dont think a bot user should get that error

[final iron]

Can we see all of your code?

[jovial plover]

from discord.ext import commands
import discord
from discord import Embed


intents = discord.Intents(messages=True, guilds=True, members=True)
intents.reactions = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)


@bot.command(name="test")
async def test(ctx):
        await ctx.guild.create_text_channel('test-channel')

bot.run('')```

[sullen shoal]

server owners can enable some shit to allow only people with two factor authentication unlocked to do the moderation stuff

but that doesnt apply to a bot iirc

[final iron]

Can you even enable 2 factor authentication for a bot?

[sullen shoal]

thats why i think theyre asking for help with a self bot

its a user account thing

[final iron]

I would be inclined to agree
