[mental oar]

I see you mentioned neural networks… did you know that IBM offers neural networks? Check out ibm.com/neural!!

[sick birch]

Neural networks are my bane

[muted quarry]

@sick birch Do we have to install discord Ui in terminal

and import it

for select menu

[sick birch]

No, installing 2.0 will do

[granite parcel]

How to do this?

[sick birch]

The timestamps?

[muted quarry]

Yea

[granite parcel]

Yes

[sick birch]

<t:1649907236:F> like so?

[granite parcel]

Yep

[sick birch]

<t:UNIX_TIMESTAMP:FORMAT_LETTER>

For example: <t:1649907236:F> -> <t:1649907236:F>

[muted quarry]

Joined,value= user.joined_at
Registered,value= user.created_at

@sick birch I did this and it gives the time format in a messy way

[granite parcel]

Yes i also have did this

[sick birch]

Right, that gives you the datetime.datetime object

You can get the UNIX timestamp by using datetime.datetime.timestamp() object

Or, in your case, user.joined_at.timestamp()

!d discord.utils.format_dt

[unkempt canyon]

discord.utils.format\_dt

discord.utils.format_dt(dt, /, style=None)```
A helper function to format a [`datetime.datetime`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#datetime.datetime "(in Python v3.10)") for presentation within Discord.

This allows for a locale-independent way of presenting data using Discord specific Markdown...

[muted quarry]

Ok let me try

[sick birch]

Make sure to surround it properly with <t::F>

[granite parcel]

Ohk

[sick birch]

Or you can use the util methods I linked earlier, it can help

[muted quarry]

but like if u ping a user it should show there thing too
Not a specific one

[slate swan]

weird error in my terminal that won't allow my bot to boot, any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it? (included are the most important parts of the error message)

[sick birch]

discord.utils.format(user.created_at, style='f')
``` for example

[sick birch]

Are you on replit?

[muted quarry]

It got it like this

[slate swan]

yeah

[sick birch]

Right, like I mentioned you have to surround it with the proper tag: <t:TIMESTAMP_HERE:F>

[sick birch]

Makes sense. replit tends to do that, one of the reasons replit sucks and you should consider not using it

[muted quarry]

the owner of the website banned u temporarily from accessing that website

[sick birch]

That is to say, Discord

[muted quarry]

But that would send a specific timestamp right
It shd be like if you ping any member in the server the bot shd send their created and joined
and not a specific time we put in the code

[sick birch]

Right, but we're getting the timestamp from a user object

So we're not hard-coding anything in

It'll get the timestamp of the user you mention

[slate swan]

true, but at the same time it's the only way I know how to get cloud hosting for free, if there's any other way even if it's not free but still cheap please tell me, i wanna get off that dogshit platform tbh

[boreal ravine]

bryan 😮

[sick birch]

AWS has a free tier. t2.micro instances, 700 hours/month for a year iirc

[mental oar]

?

[sick birch]

And most reputable providers (google cloud, azure, etc) will all have some level of free-tier hosting

[muted quarry]

Ok so I shd just leave it as <t:TIMESTAMP_HERE:F>
Cuz if I put in a timestamp it would send that specific date
and not the user who i mention right?

[sick birch]

Nono, you have to get the user's created at timestamp in there

Use the format_dt util I mentioned earlier

[muted quarry]

But there are so many users
I have to put it for each one of them?!

[slate swan]

no idea how to use those, would it be similar to replit? the way i keep my bot running right now is by using uptimerobot to ping it every 5 minutes to stay awake

[sick birch]

No, your command handler will give you the user object that was pinged

[sick birch]

AWS EC2 instances are like seperate computers in the cloud. You can do anything on them. Anything you can do on your local computer, you can do on it

[muted quarry]

Ohhhh Ok I got what u are saying
So inside i shd just put a timestamp right?

[granite parcel]

Its Of Discord.py version 2.0 ?

[slate swan]

ohhh got it, so like a cloud based virtual machine?

[sick birch]

@bot.command()
async def my_command(ctx, member: discord.Member):
  # member is the user that that someone mentioned
  discord.utils.format_dt(member.created_at, style='F')

[sick birch]

Right

You'd SSH into it

[slate swan]

no idea what that means but ill go with it

[sick birch]

SSH stands for secure shell. It lets you log in to a remote computer somewhere else in the world, and control it as if you were sitting in front of it with a keyboard and mouse plugged into that remote computer

[slate swan]

yeah im definitely moving to that

[slate swan]

Cool

[sick birch]

Great. They also have other services if you decide you want to expand your bot. Personally, I have a web dashboard for my bot so I need a domain and multiple EC2 instances

[slate swan]

is the free tier any good?

[sick birch]

For a discord bot? Definetely

~1gb ram and ~8gb memory and 1 core iirc

[muted quarry]

@sick birch 'discord.utils' has no attribute 'format_dt'

[sick birch]

Ah. Make sure you're on 2.0

[slate swan]

yeah alll id need to run is like VSCode

[muted quarry]

oh ok

[sick birch]

Nah. You'd run vscode on your local computer

Only thing that'd be running on the VPS is Linux and your code

[slate swan]

oh so i need an understanding of linux for this?

[paper sluice]

    return f'<t:{int(dt.timestamp())}:{style}>'

[sick birch]

Don't need but it'd be helpful to know your way around

[maiden fable]

Not much

[sick birch]

Yeah that works too but I find it kind of messy

[paper sluice]

nah thats the src of utils.format_dt

[maiden fable]

Well, most of the times, it will be as easy as:
-> Installing Python
-> Installing deps
-> Running python main.py

[sick birch]

That's the point, to hide the messiness behind a nice function

[maiden fable]

(The first step cz iirc Linux still uses 3.7 or smth)

[sick birch]

So why not use the nice function right?

[sick birch]

I'm always bleeding edge. I'm on arch with rolling release so maybe that

[paper sluice]

hmm, makes sense

[maiden fable]

Wait, so why does Linux not update its Python to 3.9 or smth?

[sick birch]

:D

[slate swan]

i'll just end up watching a YouTube tutorial probably

[sick birch]

It has more to do with how the distributions handle their package managers and versioning

[slate swan]

i have 3.10.2 installed on my distro by default

ubuntu uses 2.7 & 3.8 , kali is on 3.9

[maiden fable]

Oh hm

[paper sluice]

can't u upgrade from 3.10.0 to 3.10.4 without having to install the whole thing again, is there like a command for that?

[maiden fable]

Eh, I am not using Linux anyways

Seems complicated to me

[sick birch]

Sure. Many package managers let you do that

[slate swan]

😔 there's nothing complicated with linux
atleast its not that hard how people represent it in memes

[sick birch]

In my case I'd just run $ sudo pacman -Syu to do a full system upgrade including python

[paper sluice]

what about the default?

[maiden fable]

I know (I have used it some times), but I am not just used to using the command line that much

[sick birch]

The default python is different for each distro

[paper sluice]

0.o

[slate swan]

oh hm makes sense

[sick birch]

I live off the command line haha

[maiden fable]

Eh, also my laptop doesn't support Dual Booting soooo

[sick birch]

That's unfortunate

[maiden fable]

Yea, smth like Secure Boot is getting in the way haha

[sick birch]

I personally don't like dual booting

But I"m forced to for the time being

[maiden fable]

Tho I might install Linux on my old potato since the specs are, uhhhh, no comments

[slate swan]

you can turn it off~

[maiden fable]

Nah, don't wanna mess around with this laptop

[slate swan]

would i be able to import my code from replit to it or would i have to rewrite the entire thing

[sick birch]

I had to go out and get myself more storage for dualbooting. Now I'm at 4.5TB but it still doesn't feel like enough

[sick birch]

Just copy paste everything

[slate swan]

meanwhile windows asking to turn off secure boot just to run valorant on win11

[slate swan]

oh sick i didn't think i would be able to do that

[maiden fable]

Me at 500 GB SSD in my new laptop and 300 GB HDD in my older one: 😐

[maiden fable]

No? I was able to play Valo without turning it off

[slate swan]

you can't even disable secure boot because of TMP lmfao

[slate swan]

not everyone has to do it

[sick birch]

Well, the world of coding is an awesome one and you can do that!

[slate swan]

but thats a known issue

[maiden fable]

Ah yea I heard bout it

[worthy mortar]

Has anyone here created a discord sales bot?

[maiden fable]

Hm?

[slate swan]

aight sick, definitely gonna do that tomorrow cus it's late af for me

[sick birch]

Using, actual money?

[maiden fable]

Wym sales bot lol
What do u wanna sell

[slate swan]

sales bot

[sick birch]

Yup. Same here. Good night

[maiden fable]

He do be converting discord to an eCommerce website/app

[slate swan]

what even is happening on discord anymore

[slate swan]

you can actually downlaod all your replit code

instead of copy pasting it

[sick birch]

If you want to use actual transactions, best way would be to have users pay money on your web dashboard frontend using something like Stripe API, and add some amount of "Credits" in the backend database. From discord, they can buy/sell things using those "Credits"

Since money transactions are not a thing on discord yet unfortunately

In theory it shouldn't be all that difficult

[maiden fable]

Might as well code him the Dashboard since I suck at web deving :D

[sick birch]

I like web dev

[maiden fable]

Ik (:

[sick birch]

Anyway. I'm off to bed. Good night to you all!

[worthy mortar]

https://deadrare.io/collection/EAPES-8f3c1f?tab=activity

Check out this website of 'recent activity'. I am trying to build some type of python program to document the amount of sales per day to help out someone who has been doing it manually, I am really just unsure of how to scrape that data, maybe sales bot was a bad use of words, lol

[paper sluice]

gn

[maiden fable]

Ah, so u wanna build a website scraper?

[worthy mortar]

Yes

[maiden fable]

Well, is this your website? Since I know an easy way to get the data

[worthy mortar]

It is not. It is a buy/sell website for NFTs, that link is just the recent activity of a specific collection

[maiden fable]

Oh

Hm, I don't think the website would like u scraping it but

!pypi beautifulsoup4

[unkempt canyon]

beautifulsoup4 v4.11.1

Screen-scraping library

[maiden fable]

You should use this

Also, be vary that there is a possibility u r breaking the ToS and your IP can get blocked by the website

Also, run that in an executor since the process is blocking

!d asyncio.loop.run_in_executor

[unkempt canyon]

asyncio.loop.run\_in\_executor

awaitable loop.run_in_executor(executor, func, *args)```
Arrange for *func* to be called in the specified executor.

The *executor* argument should be an [`concurrent.futures.Executor`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html#concurrent.futures.Executor "concurrent.futures.Executor") instance. The default executor is used if *executor* is `None`.

Example:

[worthy mortar]

It does not like me scraping it, lol. I get weird errors, but when i use repl i am able to print all html data but not specific information like the value of sales

[maiden fable]

If the errors are related to scraping, then please open a help channel. Refer to #❓｜how-to-get-help

[worthy mortar]

thank you friend

[surreal ruin]

What i have to put here

I am making a pokemon bot

[torn sail]

python main.py

[surreal ruin]

Oo

[surreal ruin]

How to fix this error

[buoyant zodiac]

How do you get that white text type thing

at the top

[next haven]

can someone pls help me with why my discord bot isnt working

[vale wing]

How

[next haven]

can you?

[vale wing]

Depends

Send the code here without token

[undone wyvern]

#discord-bots message

[buoyant zodiac]

what,

not at the top top, the embed.Title

[boreal ravine]

it's the description of the embed if you mean the timestamp

[slate swan]

I wanna do like if the guilds id is in a variable (in the same file) so the bot should leave the guild automatically

make the variable as a list and check py if guild_id in variable: #leave

[buoyant zodiac]

no let me show u what i mean

the white box around it

of the time

[boreal ravine]

@buoyant zodiac <t:UNIX_TIMESTAMP>

[buoyant zodiac]

i thought it was the title my ba

but still how do i get the white outline thingy

[buoyant zodiac]

example please

[boreal ravine]

<t:999999> <t:999999>

the timestamp has a white background

[buoyant zodiac]

soo is ctx.guild.created_at , would that work?

[boreal ravine]

no

you'd wanna do guild.created_at.timestamp() to get the timestamp of when the guild was created

[buoyant zodiac]

okay thank you

[maiden fable]

@buoyant zodiac don't u think u should change yr nick? 😐

[surreal ruin]

Tell me how to fix it

I make a pokemon bot

@lyric needle

Please sir help me

You are a helper

[tawdry perch]

don't ping random users to help :/

[muted dagger]

dont get mad over little things :/

[tawdry perch]

hmm?

[surreal ruin]

Huh

[muted dagger]

he pinged a "helper"

if you have a certain problem,
and it quite literally says "ask (person) for help"
who do you ask?

[tawdry perch]

I don't have a "problem" I just mentioned that I don't think they should be pinging random users for help.

[granite parcel]

embed.add_field(name="__Generals:__" , value=f"**Role Name**: {role.name}\n**Role ID**: {role.id}\n**Hex value**: {role.color}\n**Hoisted**: {role.hoist}\n**Managed**: {role.managed}\n**Integration**: {role.is_integration()}\n**Mentionable**: {role.mentionable}\n**Created**: <t:{role.created_at.timestamp()}>", inline=True)```

the time stamp isnt working

[visual island]

The timestamp formatting requires an integer, cast it to int.

[granite parcel]

how do i do it

[slate swan]

Do not ask to ask.

Might as well say to a doctor "Why is my arm hurting?".

..

Is there any way that my bot can read the message and get a response from the user? Example

Bot: Say something
Me: Hello123
Bot: You said "Hello123"```

[boreal ravine]

yes

[slate swan]

I know, there is a way, but I just don't know how.

[boreal ravine]

make an on_message event

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    ...

[slate swan]

No, that's not what I want.

[boreal ravine]

oh

!d discord.Client.wait_for this is what you want?

[unkempt canyon]

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 v3.10)"). 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 v3.10)") 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 v3.10)") containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the [documentation](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord-api-events) for a list of events and their parameters.

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

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api.html#discord.Client.wait_for

[slate swan]

yes that

Say I do this.

Me: .hello
Bot: Hello, say something.
Me: Sdksds
Bot You said "Sdksds"```

[boreal ravine]

it's simple, ```py
message = await bot.wait_for('message', timeout=15)

await channel.send(f'You said {message.content}')

[slate swan]

Like

await ctx.send(f"y or n")

    # This will make sure that the response will only be registered if the following
    # conditions are met:
    def check(msg):
        return msg.author == ctx.author and msg.channel == ctx.channel and \
        msg.content.lower() in ["y", "n"]

    msg = await client.wait_for("message", check=check)
    if msg.content.lower() == "y":
        await ctx.send("You said yes!")
    else:
        await ctx.send("You said no!")```

Found this on SOF

[boreal ravine]

that would work yes

[slate swan]

why a \ in check?

But I don't want it to have only 2 answers.

y and n

[slate swan]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62377883/how-can-i-get-user-input-in-a-python-discord-bot

[slate swan]

nvm i got it

[boreal ravine]

@slate swan

[slate swan]

<t:1649920994>

that's cool.

[boreal ravine]

indeed it is

[slate swan]

how do I get colored text?

[placid skiff]

[boreal ravine]

Read pins, theres a message on how to

[slate swan]

uhhhh

am I the only who uses less lines as much as possible .-.

[slate swan]

How can I send a message when it times out?

[placid skiff]

Try to write italian sentence in strings

[slate swan]

You're just efficient, nothing wrong with that.

[slate swan]

well

[boreal ravine]

try:
    msg = await bot.wait_for(...)
except Exception as err: # timeout/a bug occured
    await channel.send(err)
else: # worked
    ...

[slate swan]

Got it.

Thank you.

[slate swan]

I only know french, spanish and english 😔

[placid skiff]

Better use error events

[desert cosmos]

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[placid skiff]

Plus it is better to use discord.py exception for... discord exception lol

[slate swan]

you need to copy paste those unicodes from the website

Ahhh, how can I send a message to the channel with "on_raw_reaction_add"?

[slate swan]

What character goes where

Oh nvm.

[slate swan]

idr lmao

Sorry!

[vale wing]

Lambda check looks better imo

[slate swan]

\u001b\u001b[1;32mThat's some cool formatted text right?
\u001bThat's some cool formatted text right?

copy paste the unicodes from their website



Is it that

[slate swan]

cant see but replace that unicode with the \u001b, i mean the vice versa

what do you mean

That's some cool formatted text right?
That's some cool formatted text right?

[paper sluice]

hello world

[slate swan]

LMFAO, This Is kinda cool

[slate swan]

howd u do that

[paper sluice]

just copy paste this instead of \u001b

[slate swan]

so I replace the \u001b for that character?

[paper sluice]

Hello 

[slate swan]

wrong

you have to be on pc if you wanna use that

[surreal ruin]

@restive coral

How to fix it

[slate swan]

Hi!

[surreal ruin]

I try several times

But nothing happened

[slate swan]

error?

[paper sluice]

hmm, yea

[jolly karma]

how do i save my bot from being rate limited?

like how many requests can i send to discord api in a minute?

to not get rate limited

[visual island]

Discord’s API has a global rate limit which by default is 50 requests/second (This number can be raised if your bot is big enough). It also has a dynamic endpoint-specific ratelimit which mostly isn't documented.

[jolly karma]

hm so i wanna animte my server name with my bot changing the name like idk 1 time in a second will there be some problem?

[visual island]

yes, I doubt that you can change a guild's name 1 time per second.

[jolly karma]

but i know a server its already doing that

[jolly karma]

come to dm ill show

if u want

[visual island]

You can share it here

[slate swan]

even if you could, its such a bad bad idea

[jolly karma]

the server link?

[slate swan]

no

[jolly karma]

ik a server its already doing it

[slate swan]

well

[jolly karma]

can i show in dms?

[slate swan]

no thanks, you could run a task loop and change the server's icon every 1 second

!d discord.ext.tasks.loop

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.tasks.loop

discord.ext.tasks.loop(*, seconds=..., minutes=..., hours=..., time=..., count=None, reconnect=True)```
A decorator that schedules a task in the background for you with optional reconnect logic. The decorator returns a [`Loop`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/tasks/index.html#discord.ext.tasks.Loop "discord.ext.tasks.Loop").

[jolly karma]

oh will there be any problem?

[jolly karma]

cant i use a normal loop?

[maiden fable]

Ratelimits

[maiden fable]

Nope

[surreal ruin]

Yes

[slate swan]

^^

[paper sluice]

i guess, never tried though

[slate swan]

no never ever

[jolly karma]

i can use wait function yk

[slate swan]

dude

[jolly karma]

?

[slate swan]

sure

[jolly karma]

https://tenor.com/view/我還能堅持一會-tired-sleepy-funny-animals-sad-cat-gif-14663456

[slate swan]

you can just type out those unicodes

for yor bot

[silent ridge]

does someone have the color codes of discord.py?

[maiden fable]

Every color code works

[silent ridge]

where can I get them 😭

that is the issue

nvm got em

[maiden fable]

Lol

[maiden fable]

Just search up HTML Color Code selector

[silent ridge]

i have them no worries

[maiden fable]

Cool

[silent ridge]

@maiden fable which color is fitable at this reply of the bot

[maiden fable]

Green prolly

[silent ridge]

good one

ty

guys I am dumb asf but a new line is \n right? 😭

[maiden fable]

Yea

[silent ridge]

alright

[brave flint]

um

[granite parcel]

how i convert file upload limit to MB

[supple thorn]

Divide the bytes by 1 million?

[granite parcel]

Function?

[sweet pilot]

def converter(amount):
    return amount / 2 ^^ 20

[supple thorn]

Basic math?

[sweet pilot]

yeah lol

[hardy yoke]

uh don't do this, you'll get banned for api abuse eventually

[hardy yoke]

pls clean your desktop

[boreal ravine]

agreed

[junior verge]

epic youth hahahah

[formal basin]

What does this mean

[heavy folio]

channel is an integer

[cold sonnet]

you do
await channel_id.send(something)
instead of

channel = bot.get_channel(channel_id) 
await channel.send(something)

[heavy folio]

!d discord.Guild.get_channel to get the channel

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_channel

get_channel(channel_id, /)```
Returns a channel with the given ID.

Note

This does *not* search for threads.

Changed in version 2.0: `channel_id` parameter is now positional-only.

[silent ridge]

lmfao

[slate swan]

color picker

why type too much when you can have less

[granite parcel]

how to do this coz my embed word are goin more than 1024 words

[slate swan]

use the len function and decrease 1 from it since there is an everyone role too

[granite parcel]

roles = [role for role in guild.roles if role != ctx.guild.default_role]

this i used for everyone

[slate swan]

yeah use the len func

[granite parcel]

i maked another command for it and mentioned it there

btw ty

[crimson yarrow]

how do i make my bot find the ID of the last message it sent in any channel?

[spring flax]

!d discord.TextChannel.history

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.history

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)```
Returns an [asynchronous iterator](https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-asynchronous-iterator "(in Python v3.10)") that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

You must have [`read_message_history`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/api.html#discord.Permissions.read_message_history "discord.Permissions.read_message_history") permissions to use this.

Examples

Usage...

[crimson yarrow]

thanks

[pliant gulch]

!d discord.TextChannel.last_message_id

[unkempt canyon]

discord.TextChannel.last\_message\_id

The last message ID of the message sent to this channel. It may not point to an existing or valid message.

Probably using the twitch api

As i've never used the twitch api i don't know how

[spring flax]

are there API's twitter,, Instagram, YouTube , Twitch and Trovo?

Hey there, I had a issue regarding discord.py. How can I receive a discord.exe command (@client.commands) from a webhook? For example, i make a web hook send a message to a channel, which contains a command, how do i make my discord.py bot read that command and execute it. Alternatively, is there a better way to send messages to a discord.py bot, through a web javascript application.

Thanks

[supple thorn]

Command?

Like a webhook triggering a command?

[waxen ruin]

yes

[supple thorn]

Or like the webhook contains the code

[waxen ruin]

No, say the webhook says !help

I want my bot to read that command

like it would read from a normal user

[supple thorn]

Can a webhook even trigger a command?

[waxen ruin]

not by default, so i asked here

[minor totem]

Isn't there a much easier way to have your two services connect?

[waxen ruin]

i am not sure, do you know of any?

[minor totem]

What are these two services? An API backend and your Discord bot?

[waxen ruin]

its legit just this

where that url is the web hook url

so this is the simple bit

[minor totem]

Where is this running? In the browser?

[waxen ruin]

yes its a website

and when i run the function, i get a message on the webhook channel

[minor totem]

That's an extreme security vulnerability ⚠️

[waxen ruin]

so al that works just as it should, just my discord.py bot doesnt read it

[waxen ruin]

yes im aware this is just a test space, im gonna secure it later

rn this is not even connected to a proper thing, when i do that, im going to store sensitive info as env

[minor totem]

You can't secure it "later" because fundementally sending a webhook like this is insecure

[spring flax]

anyone?

[waxen ruin]

ye ik, but this website is for personal use

[minor totem]

You're giving anyone on the internet, access to this webhook which they can do anything with

[waxen ruin]

its not getting published anywhere public

so no one except me and people i add can use it

[minor totem]

How? Are you just not gonna give anyone the address?

[waxen ruin]

Nope, its a long story 🥲

for now any help on the discord.py bit?

[minor totem]

Twitter, Twitch and YouTube all have APIs. I don't know whether Instagram fors and I have no idea what Trovo is.

[minor totem]

I think you'll need to change this:

commands.HelpCommand

[spring flax]

!d discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand.filter_commands

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand.filter\_commands

await filter_commands(commands, /, *, sort=False, key=None)```
This function is a [*coroutine*](https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio-task.html#coroutine).

Returns a filtered list of commands and optionally sorts them.

This takes into account the [`verify_checks`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand.verify_checks "discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand.verify_checks") and [`show_hidden`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand.show_hidden "discord.ext.commands.HelpCommand.show_hidden") attributes.

Changed in version 2.0: `commands` parameter is now positional-only.

[spring flax]

oh yeah it returns a list of commands

not strings my bad

command objects*

[boreal ravine]

i'm confused how does it sort commands

[surreal ruin]

How i can fix this error? I am making a pokemon bot on replit```

[spring flax]

coding on replit on phone wow

sending the code would help

!paste

[unkempt canyon]

Pasting large amounts of code

If your code is too long to fit in a codeblock in discord, you can paste your code here:
https://paste.pythondiscord.com/

After pasting your code, save it by clicking the floppy disk icon in the top right, or by typing ctrl + S. After doing that, the URL should change. Copy the URL and post it here so others can see it.

[boreal ravine]

which d.py version are you using?

[surreal ruin]

Wait

3.8

[surreal ruin]

I am using 3.8

[visual island]

What discord.py version are you using, not your python version

[slate swan]

how to get a message link?

no a particular message
the link should be of the message the user sent to use the command

[lofty pecan]

Hey there, I was wondering how I could have embed displays the different information in rows instead of having a weird layout. I'm using embed.add_field to add a new field to an embed but it doesn't add a new row for some reason

here is an example

it uses columns and when I have more field it makes something really bad looking

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed

class discord.Embed(*, colour=None, color=None, title=None, type='rich', url=None, description=None, timestamp=None)```
Represents a Discord embed.

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

bool(b) Returns whether the embed has any data set.

New in version 2.0.

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") are implicitly casted to [`str`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#str "(in Python v3.10)") for you.

Changed in version 2.0: `Embed.Empty` has been removed in favour of `None`.

[lofty pecan]

yeah

I just found that I thought the default value was set to False

!d discord.Embed.add_field

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.add\_field

add_field(*, name, value, inline=True)```
Adds a field to the embed object.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining. Can only be up to 25 fields.

[lofty pecan]

yeah it's set to True by default lmao

thanks

!d discord.Embed.set_thumbnail

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Embed.set\_thumbnail

set_thumbnail(*, url)```
Sets the thumbnail for the embed content.

This function returns the class instance to allow for fluent-style chaining.

Changed in version 1.4: Passing `None` removes the thumbnail.

[surreal ruin]

Replit

I am using replit

To make bots

[supple thorn]

Bruh

He's asking what d.py version

[boreal ravine]

@surreal ruin can you do pip show discord.py in the shell?

[supple thorn]

Not your weird ide choice

[surreal ruin]

Wait

[surreal ruin]

Its coming like this

[slate swan]

pip install discord.py

[surreal ruin]

Ok

[slate swan]

Or since you are using repl.it just add in code import discord.py and it should install it automatically

[surreal ruin]

Ok

[surreal ruin]

Version 1.7.3

[boreal ravine]

install d.py master to use poketwo

[surreal ruin]

Done

I already install

Like 1m ago

[boreal ravine]

thats d.py stable branch, you need d.py master in order to use poketwo as the error said before

[slate swan]

@surreal ruin does it work now?

[surreal ruin]

How to get it?

[boreal ravine]

Enter pip install -U git+https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py in the shell

[surreal ruin]

Ok

[paper sluice]

make sure u have git installed

[surreal ruin]

It come like this

Was it get installed

[paper sluice]

ya thats fine

congrats, now u have dpy2.0 🎉

[slate swan]

wow!

[surreal ruin]

oo

[boreal ravine]

nice, now try running your repl again and see if it works

[slate swan]

download the zip file, unzip it and move the discord.py source code to your project directory, rename the discord.py folder to dpy and use that folder's source code by importing stuff into your project files

[paper sluice]

🗿

why even bother with zip files, just copy paste each file

[junior verge]

lol

just type it out 🤷‍♂️

I have a question about help commands. I'm trying to change the default command but I getting an error saying that Help doesn't inherit commands.HelpCommand, even though it does.

# Help class (in cog)

    help_command = cogs.Help.Help,
)
``` Anyone know why this doesn't work? Thanks

[boreal ravine]

show the error

[boreal ravine]

maybe your using the commands extension of another library

[boreal ravine]

show the cog's imports

[mortal dove]

Also says that commands is for the wrapper

from client_container import * is the only import

and in client container is just this

[boreal ravine]

you didn't call the class

[surreal ruin]

What should i do now

[boreal ravine]

show full error?

[mortal dove]

They're all used in other files, so in other files I can just use from client_container import *

Nothing actually happens there

[paper sluice]

maybe, dont do that...

[mortal dove]

Oh. Thank you! lol

[mortal dove]

Why not?

[surreal ruin]

Its full above is before that

[paper sluice]

it just puts so many unnecessary objects in the namespace

and it makes it hard to understand

[green bluff]

Is ur file named maim.py

[surreal ruin]

Wait

[slate swan]

"call the class", nice

[surreal ruin]

No its main.py

Hello any

[winged bone]

yeah that's true :) classes have a __call__ method

[boreal ravine]

yes?

[maiden fable]

Actually that's meant for class instances

[winged bone]

yeah and a class is an instance of...

type

[maiden fable]

So that there's functionality for smth like MyTotallyNotCoolClass()()

[winged bone]

yeah

!e

class MyClass:
    pass

print(MyClass.__call__)
print(MyClass.__call__())```

Hey im new to this and im getting an error to which idk the fix

Its a very long error lol

[slate swan]

which error

[lofty pecan]

Hi there, I made a bot to create information cards. So I have a command that asks the user for several information, the thing is that I'd like to display of the user took too much time. I found a method using try and except asyncio.TimeoutError, that works well on one input but I feel like repeating the same thing for 6 inputs might be really bad, so would there be any better way?

[slate swan]

give the last 10 lines

[ancient raven]

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

idk

[ancient raven]

the bot works for sometime and then goes off showing this error and works again

[slate swan]

..

[cloud dawn]

I think he's blocking the connection with Discord, maybe an antivirus.

[ancient raven]

its hosted by replit

[slate swan]

..

[cloud dawn]

Ah that makes more sense.

[slate swan]

show code btw

[lofty pecan]

anyone?

[cloud dawn]

Repl.it could throw these errors from time to time.

[ancient raven]

what do you recommend to use ?

[slate swan]

vsc

[ancient raven]

bot code or flask ?

[ancient raven]

i meant to host

[slate swan]

there are only paid one

[ancient raven]

can you recommend a good one ?

[lofty pecan]

don't expect to find a reliable free hosting services

[slate swan]

sry idk

[cloud dawn]

Hmm pretty difficult since you can't save them mid way.

[ancient raven]

oh

[lofty pecan]

see this

[cloud dawn]

netcup is like 5.55 bucks a month and offer pretty good services.

[ancient raven]

can you recommend any paid ones ?

[ancient raven]

is there any with lifetime membership ?

[lofty pecan]

not really, i'm still developping my bot and for now I only run it on my pc

[cloud dawn]

No those don't really exists with a VPS.

[ancient raven]

oh ok

[lofty pecan]

yeah that's why

[ancient raven]

rip .

well thanks guys for the info

[slate swan]

try heroku

[lofty pecan]

Since I wrote this chunck whenever I have a cooldown going on I was wondering If i could do the same with that

            retry = error.retry_after

            embed = discord.Embed(title=":clock1: Slow Down!!", description=f'{ctx.author.mention}, you can use this command again in ' + str(remaining_time), color=0xE74C3C)
            await ctx.send(embed=embed)```

[slate swan]

no-

not heroku

[slate swan]

"try"

[sweet pilot]

don't try it

[slate swan]

wdym

[ancient raven]

Well, whenever a user has to input something with bot.wait_for there is a timeout. I'd like to show the user that the timeout is, well, out. And maybe I could make a global function just like that cog listener for that

but should i have the intents in cogs also=

[supple thorn]

No

[proud rain]

or only in the main file?

[supple thorn]

If you have intents already enabled in your bot constructor it should be fine

[proud rain]

intents = discord.Intents.all()

thats the only i hav

[slate swan]

GOOGLE CLOUD NEED CREDIT CARD!!

[supple thorn]

Yeah?

[proud rain]

bro

[supple thorn]

What

[proud rain]

@supple thorn

should i have more?

[supple thorn]

No

[paper sluice]

[proud rain]

but its still sending error

[paper sluice]

what error?

[proud rain]

    color=self.log_channel.guild.get_member(after.id).colour,
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'colour'

[paper sluice]

can u print self.log_chanel.guild

[proud rain]

why

[paper sluice]

i wanna what that is

[supple thorn]

It's a guild

[paper sluice]

[supple thorn]

You do have member intents enabled in the developer portal right

[proud rain]

yes, i just tried to turn off and on

[lofty pecan]

welp it doesn't do anything, I just added a ctx.send but nothing happens

[supple thorn]

Wdym?

[supple thorn]

Can you send the code you tried

[lofty pecan]

@commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_command_error(self, ctx, error):
        if isinstance(error, commands.CommandOnCooldown):
            retry = error.retry_after
            remaining_time = str(datetime.timedelta(seconds=int(retry)))
            embed = discord.Embed(title=":clock1: Slow Down!!", description=f'{ctx.author.mention}, you can use this command again in ' + str(remaining_time), color=0xE74C3C)
            await ctx.send(embed=embed)

        elif isinstance(error, asyncio.TimeoutError):
            await ctx.send('You took too long, process canceled.')

[supple thorn]

Uh

[cloud dawn]

I needed the doc lol

[lofty pecan]

the first one is for cooldown and works perfectly, the second one tho doesn't do anything

[slate swan]

!d rich

[unkempt canyon]

rich

Rich text and beautiful formatting in the terminal.

Similar names: label.rich

[supple thorn]

So you tried out the error handler by waiting out the timeout?

[lofty pecan]

yes

[supple thorn]

When you trigger the timeout error

Does it throw the error in the console?

[lofty pecan]

nope

[supple thorn]

I gotta sleep but can you try and use a elif

[lofty pecan]

ye

of course

didn't do anything

[slate swan]

Yo, so i managed to find the free subscriptions page but which one should i get? id assume a Lambda server because it's for compute but i just wanna be sure

[lofty pecan]

maybe it's not an error

not a on_command_error

but something else ?

[lofty pecan]

anyone fresh here, that's my issue

[lofty pecan]

that's my code

[vale wing]

You could make a dict in format of {question: value} and iter through it with waiting for message inside the loop

[slate swan]

hbday

[lofty pecan]

mmh

[vale wing]

Thx

[slate swan]

:D

🍰 🧁 🍫 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳 🥳

[vale wing]

Lol

[lofty pecan]

ho ! and then use a try and except asyncio.TimeoutError ?

because this is what I do rn:

await ctx.send('Enter the name of the character: ')
            name = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=30)
                
            await ctx.send('Enter the age of the character: ')
            age = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=30)

            await ctx.send('Enter the gender of the character: ')
            gender = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=30)
                
            await ctx.send('Enter the picture url of the character: ')
            picture = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=60)
                    
            await ctx.send("Enter the hex code of the character (without the `#`): ")
            Hex = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=60)
                
            await ctx.send('Enter the description of the character: ')
            desc = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=60)
                    
            await ctx.send('Enter the universe the character belongs to: ')
            universe = await self.bot.wait_for('message', check=check, timeout=30)
                    
            
            f[f'{name.content}'] ={'age': age.content,
                            'gender': gender.content,
                            'picture': picture.content,
                            'hex': f'0x{Hex.content}',
                            'description': desc.content,
                            'universe': universe.content```

and f = fetch(f'database\{id}\{id_user}') already

so I would first define the final dictionnary and then json.dump into the file I want?

[vale wing]

@lofty pecan what I mean is something like this

questions = {"What is your name?": None, "What is your age?": None}
for q in questions:
    await ctx.send(q)
    m = await bot.wait_for(...)
    questions[q] = m.content```

You could surround the for loop with try-except

[vale wing]

Such kind of database will lead to you getting extremely confused when you want to modify data model

[lofty pecan]

does the ctx.send send the key or the value?

[vale wing]

When you iterate through dict you get its keys

[lofty pecan]

for now it's useful lol

[vale wing]

Structureless

And inconvenient for big data

[lofty pecan]

oki

I'm not doing big data

[vale wing]

I'd recommend to learn some sqlite

[vale wing]

How many files do you have in your "database" so far?

[lofty pecan]

sqlite bothers me a lot, I already didn't like it at university

5 files, that's 5 users

[slate swan]

its the way they teach, not sqlite itself

[vale wing]

What the hell

Sqlite can't be that complicated

[lofty pecan]

meh

it's confusing

[slate swan]

no?

[vale wing]

Unless they teach you something like more than select/insert/update

[lofty pecan]

they did

[slate swan]

lol

[vale wing]

Indexes and rules for example

[lofty pecan]

we saw join stuff

class was pretty boring as well

[vale wing]

Postgres functions are kinda fun tho

[lofty pecan]

I tried to use sqlite at first but I got annoyed so I use json and dictionnaries instead

[slate swan]

can relate

[vale wing]

Trust me, you will get annoyed with updating data structure when you update your data model

[vale wing]

Hehe

[slate swan]

funny number

[lofty pecan]

yeah idk

for the moment it does all I need lol

and if I change everything to sqlite I have to completely rewrite my bot

and learn sqlite

which is demoralizing

[slate swan]

ok

[vale wing]

You would only have to learn like 5 statements

Agreed about rewriting but it's better to do this before your project becomes bigger

[lofty pecan]

ye

[vale wing]

Because I have been in the same situation

[lofty pecan]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/86484642730885120/889556972813312071/548745875487_-_Copy.gif

[slate swan]

40 fps

[slate swan]

thats why you use helper functions 🏃‍♂️

[lofty pecan]

It's also weird how people explain how to use sqlite with discord py

[lofty pecan]

[slate swan]

you can just change those functions whenever you need to, and it wont affect your commands

[lofty pecan]

I did some of that

[vale wing]

With the power of OOP I created a bunch of datamodels and stored all the objects with the pickle files 💀

[lofty pecan]

not for everything tho because my bot doesn't have 100 commands and is focused on one thing only

[vale wing]

It turned into pure hell when the bot hit 100 servers

[slate swan]

you could use postgreSQL

[vale wing]

Next I rewrote it to sqlite without async wrapper

[slate swan]

https://tenor.com/view/art-abstract-cinematic-design-animation-gif-5674057

[vale wing]

And then to asyncpg and now I am fine with that way

[lofty pecan]

one command is the fetch one, just to load a json, I use it everywhere so I simply made it a global function

[slate swan]

60 fps nvmd ot

[lofty pecan]

[slate swan]

i started with pickle, moved to json because .bin files not readable, and finally shifted to sqlite3

ik mysql and pgsql but dont want to create a db server for a dumb bot project

[lofty pecan]

very demoralizing lmao

[vale wing]

I am currently working on antispam bot based on AI and am using postgres it's fast af

[slate swan]

oh and, happy birthday Exenifix 🥳

[lofty pecan]

now you know how to use it yeah

[vale wing]

Ty

The AI model I created works on any text

It's non verbal tho but I am gonna try verbal method as well later

I got like ~2k training samples so it's decently accurate now

10k would be perfect

[lofty pecan]

It's a personnal project that sounds very useful to a lot of people I asked about, I learnt how to code a discord bot, how to use json, dictionnary, embed, etc; but SQL ? my nightmare lol

[slate swan]

Create an API with django and use django's orm db

[lofty pecan]

Plus we used to have SQL class, but just SQL not related to python

[vale wing]

And yeah that bot's gonna be open source so yall can contribute

[lofty pecan]

and python is the only language I know

sorry I'm having a tedtalk xd

[slate swan]

SQL isnt related to python anyways so uhhhhh

why not?

wait that counts deleted msgs too?

i think it does

oh wait

the first one doesn't count the code blocks

👀

#bot-commands

[fallow siren]

async def Embed(message):
    if message.content.startswith('c.commandlist'):
      embedVar = discord.Embed(title='Help', description = 'commands', color=1)

      embedhelp.add_field(name='c.intro', value='introduces you to the settler', inline=False)
      await message.channel.send(embed=embedhelp)

this is for 2 commands

but they dont work no matter what i type

[junior verge]

What's the issue/error?

[slate swan]

hi

[fallow siren]

It also does not show any error message

so the code doesnt work but no error message

anyone know what going on?

[sick birch]

Nah, lambda isn't the best. Get the EC2, those have a free tier and they're general purpose

Lambda is for serveless functions

[fallow siren]

what

[slate swan]

oh sick

[sick birch]

I just re-read what I said. that was stupid. Let me clarify, lambda isn't the best for discord bots

Other than that, it's excellent

[slate swan]

EC2 doesn't have a free tier

[vast sky]

So my bots been in a large server for years handing out a role. And it suddenly stopped giving the role yesterday. Anyone have an idea?

[sick birch]

t2.micro do

[sick birch]

Any errors?

[slate swan]

oh got it thx

[fallow siren]

anyone can help me, the commands just wont work but no error message is showing up

[slate swan]

so this

[sick birch]

That's the database

[vale wing]

Why not just get a VPS and setup the database there

[sick birch]

You could

That's what I'm doing but AWS RDBMS is more scalable and has more features

[slate swan]

trying to move my code from one cloud host to another for more reliability

[vale wing]

Ohk

And what database did you use

[sick birch]

I wouldn't call replit a cloud host

[slate swan]

well for me it kinda is but yeah true

i used it like a cloud host

[sick birch]

Most do, which is terrible

[slate swan]

i still can't find the correct t2.micro server, does it have a specific name or type?

[vale wing]

EC2 -> launch instance -> select AMI -> ubuntu -> t2.micro

[slate swan]

im on the AWS website lmfao

[vale wing]

Yes

There's EC2 section

[sick birch]

It shows up when you click on "Launch instance" orange button on the top right

[slate swan]

i don't even have the plan set up yet, im just trying to find the correct one

[vale wing]

Could you screenshot where you are at right now

[slate swan]

ok, so the EC2 isn't actually free

it's 12 months free

afterwards it's payed

[brave flint]

why i cant use User Profile Picture urls with <img> tag on html?

[vast sky]

I havent got around to checking yet. I just have an exception that sends "couldnt add role". Its odd it just stopped out of nowhere

i wonder if its possible that my bots integrated role is borked up in that server cuz my delete reactions stopped working awhile ago

[slate swan]

hi

. /

[slate swan]

ahem ahem

broken

[boreal ravine]

I think it means 'fucked up'

[slate swan]

correct

[slate swan]

why are you using event for commands

could be

thats obvious

it's prolly because some js people who recently switched to py are uploading "tutorials" using events, cuz i've seen some

xD

[potent spear]

YT tutorials about fast-changing libs are just a bad idea in general

[slate swan]

they finally started thinking about dpy?

man last year, the devs left dpy to rot

[slate swan]

I mean yes, but its in development again

[potent spear]

and? it never broke

[slate swan]

👋

[slate swan]

yes, while js was getting updates every week or so, python dev slept

[slate swan]

is that a slap?

[sick birch]

Ah

But it is free for a year isn't it

[slate swan]

?

[sick birch]

Oh oops looks like my message came in late

[slate swan]

..

[sick birch]

Ah, is that a big issue or?

[slate swan]

well it doesn't tell me what the cost is afternoon so kinda yeah

[sick birch]

The cost after depends heavily on what instance you're and what you're doing on it

It's not a flat fee like for other hosts

They charge you per second and computing resources used iirc

[maiden fable]

Oracle VM exists 👀

[sick birch]

Yeah I've heard that's another good one. They have a free tier as well

I'm pretty sure so does google cloud hosting

[maiden fable]

yea, free forever

24 GB RAM and 6 vCores iirc

[slate swan]

what the

how are they making money

[maiden fable]

In exchange for yr cc info

[sick birch]

that's much better than the ones AWS gives lmao

[maiden fable]

IKR

[slate swan]

they need cc?

[maiden fable]

iirc AWS gives like 1 or 2 GB RAM

[vocal snow]

i really doubt a free tier would give 24 gigs of RAM

[maiden fable]

Yea, else I would have got it

[sick birch]

yeah but they also have ones like 400gigs of ram with 60 something cores

[slate swan]

:<

[slate swan]

cc with money or without??

[maiden fable]

They charge 1 USD for verifying if the CC is original

Tho they refund it

[slate swan]

oh

[vocal snow]

jesus christ.

[maiden fable]

Hahaha

[vocal snow]

that's more than my pc has >(

[slate swan]

free forever?

[sick birch]

same haha

[maiden fable]

Same, that is 3x my laptop's RAM

[slate swan]

thats 12x then my pc

[maiden fable]

Yea

[lofty tinsel]

hello Im testing cogs but it doesnt work

[slate swan]

wow

[slate swan]

code?

[slate swan]

im gonna register for that the value is nuts

[maiden fable]

Haha ofc it is

[sick birch]

What's the "2 AMD based compute VMS with 1 gb memory each"?

Do you get to pick what type of CPU you want?

[maiden fable]

No
