!d discord.Client.fetch_webhook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.fetch\_webhook

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

Retrieves a [`Webhook`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook "discord.Webhook") with the specified ID.

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

[slate swan]

discord.py has webhook support

you can fetch them and use .send()

[latent anchor]

how do i use events and commands at the same time

cuz commands doesnt work if there r events

[slate swan]

thats not true, you are doing something wrong

change the decorator of your on_message event from .event to .listen()

umm guys is ther other new hosting for discord bot py?

[latent anchor]

i tried that
if i use listen then commands doesnt work

[slate swan]

besides heroku?

[latent anchor]

uptime robot with keep alive

[slate swan]

thats not a host and see the pins of #965291480992321536

[slate swan]

show code

[latent anchor]

k wait

@bot.event
async def on_message(msg):
 embed=discord.Embed(title=">:(", description="Bot angry now", color=0xff0000)
 embed.set_author(name="no u")
 embed.set_footer(text="dont ping bot")
 if '@spice sparrow' in msg.content:
     await msg.channel.send (embed=embed)

@slate swan

[maiden fable]

Yea there's the issue

Change the event to listen()

So it becomes @bot.listen()

[latent anchor]

it will works with that?

[slate swan]

i~

[latent anchor]

oh yes tysm

[native root]

so if i do client2 = discord.Client.fetch_webhook(974880363572772874)
client2.send('Hello!')

that gives me an error tho

[slate swan]

thats not how object oriented programming works

[uncut comet]

would this work if the emoji isnt in the same servers as my bot?

[dusky pine]

i think you forgor two awaits

client2 = await discord.Client.fetch_webhook(974880363572772874)
^^^^^^^

await client2.send('Hello!')
^^^^^

[slate swan]

i dnt think so

[slate swan]

thats not how they use the fetch_webhook method either

[dusky pine]

wait really

!d discord.Client.fetch_webhook

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.fetch\_webhook

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

Retrieves a [`Webhook`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Webhook "discord.Webhook") with the specified ID.

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

[slate swan]

they need to use a discord.Client instance, and use fetch_webhook on it, not the class straight

"this is a string".upper() is what they should do
str.upper() is what they are doing

[uncut comet]

ah okay how else can i get the image of a emoji via the id? i tried what i sent above but i couldnt get it to work

[dusky pine]

oh yeah that

[uncut comet]

.

but im not sure how read works

[slate swan]

use fetch_emoji ig

!e discord.Client.fetch_emojo

[quaint epoch]

now that's just sad

[slate swan]

wut,oh

!e discord.Client.fetch_emoji

im high ig

[quaint epoch]

:sadge:

[quaint epoch]

lmao

[uncut comet]

would this not do the same?

[slate swan]

the heck does that not exist?

[quaint epoch]

!d disnake.Client.fetch_emoji

[unkempt canyon]

Not in a million years.

No documentation found for the requested symbol.

[quaint epoch]

!d discord.Client

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client

class discord.Client(*, intents, **options)```
Represents a client connection that connects to Discord.
This class is used to interact with the Discord WebSocket and API.

A number of options can be passed to the [`Client`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client "discord.Client").

[quaint epoch]

might have to list this as an issue in dev contrib

!d discord.Client.get_emoji

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Client.get\_emoji

get_emoji(id, /)```
Returns an emoji with the given ID.

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

[quaint epoch]

aha

[dusky pine]

fetch_emoji doesn't exist

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

[uncut comet]

how can i get the image from the emoji to then create another emoji from it?

[quaint epoch]

im using snekbox in my discord bot, how can i run a docker command to set it up in my procfile in heroku?

i wanna run this command, but it says docker can't be found docker run --ipc=none --privileged -d 8060:8060 ghcr.io/python-discord/snekbox

[white plume]

Hi my discord bot broke down suddenly

It was running normally before its broke down

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/decafixeqi

This is the error please help me check that

Thank you!

[gaunt ice]

hm

what error is it showing

[stiff gorge]

avatar = member.avatar_url_as(size=1024, format=None, static_format='png')

is this correct ?

[placid skiff]

you are rate limited

[white plume]

Can I do something to solve that

[slate swan]

no

[white plume]

Oooops

Why I was rate limited

[placid skiff]

You've done something against discord Policies and Agreements

you can read more here https://discord.com/developers/docs/policies-and-agreements/developer-policy

[slate swan]

can u show code

[white plume]

Thanks lemme check the policy

[dusky pine]

you were spamming the API

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.Guild.fetch\_emoji

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

Retrieves a custom [`Emoji`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Emoji "disnake.Emoji") from the guild.

Note

This method is an API call. For general usage, consider iterating over [`emojis`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/api.html#disnake.Guild.emojis "disnake.Guild.emojis") instead.

[regal pulsar]

lol

[white plume]

Can I try to start the bot later

[placid skiff]

So who wants to help me collect most frequently asked questions in this channel?

[slate swan]

yes

[slate swan]

weird that they made it a guild method even tho it has nothing do with a server other than its usability

[white plume]

Oh ok thanks

[placid skiff]

bruh that method retrieves custom emojis

common emojis are not even an instance of the Emoji class

they're just unicode code

[slate swan]

discord.com/emojis/id is the endpoint for a custom emoji

[placid skiff]

Yeah but custom emojis are created in guilds

[slate swan]

as i said, "other than usability"

[placid skiff]

why will you even need to retrieve an emoji from an external guild? the bot won't even be able to send it

[slate swan]

they want to get its bytes and upload it to their server

[placid skiff]

to do it the bot needs to be in that guild

[pliant gulch]

GET /guilds/{guild.id}/emojis/{emoji.id} is the endpoint given in the docs

I've never seen the endpoint you said

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/2be65e5874d00e0b0209717ad8a4628dc9cea906/discord/http.py#L1344-L1348

[unkempt canyon]

discord/http.py lines 1344 to 1348

def get_all_custom_emojis(self, guild_id: Snowflake) -> Response[List[emoji.Emoji]]:
    return self.request(Route('GET', '/guilds/{guild_id}/emojis', guild_id=guild_id))

def get_custom_emoji(self, guild_id: Snowflake, emoji_id: Snowflake) -> Response[emoji.Emoji]:
    return self.request(Route('GET', '/guilds/{guild_id}/emojis/{emoji_id}', guild_id=guild_id, emoji_id=emoji_id))```

[pliant gulch]

So obviously it would be a method bound to a Guild instance

[slate swan]

oh makes sense , but isnt the emoji just readable by its url?

[pliant gulch]

That's just like any other URL

[slate swan]

i got that wrong because in many libraries its just a client method

[native root]

@slate swan can I add you on discord and message you privately?

[slate swan]

hikari: https://www.hikari-py.dev/hikari/api/rest.html#hikari.api.rest.RESTClient.fetch_emoji

djs does something like client.emojis.cache.find

[slate swan]

um, why tho?

[native root]

to not spam server chat

[pliant gulch]

You'd need access to the guild though

[slate swan]

yeah, true

[loud junco]

Hi sarth

[slate swan]

so they gotta read the emoji using aiohttp

[pliant gulch]

If you want to get the bytes of an emoji, have the emoji CDN url. Make a request, then read the data() of it

[slate swan]

hi

[digital mason]

Hello I have a question... Is it possible to get a user avatar in current guild and not default avatar

[placid skiff]

!d discord.Member.display_avatar

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Member.display\_avatar

property display_avatar```
Returns the member’s display avatar.

For regular members this is just their avatar, but
if they have a guild specific avatar then that
is returned instead.

New in version 2.0.

[slate swan]

how to i make like arrest t@g member?

and to bot send arrested @stray scarab

[placid skiff]

you will need to pass the member as parameter of your command

[slate swan]

like

@bot.command()
async def arrest(ctx)
await.ctx("Arrested memb@er")

that?

[placid skiff]

no you have no member paramater in that

[slate swan]

how to do it?

[placid skiff]

you can't develop a bot if you don't know python basics

[slate swan]

-_-

this channel is for help

[placid skiff]

help and spoonfeeding are two different things

https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html?highlight=command
This is commands documentation

[digital mason]

await ctx.send(...)

[maiden fable]

Let's spoonfeed help!

[slate swan]

?

just help

[digital mason]

Discord functions are coroutines, I dont know the details but they are asynchronous

So you have to await when calling, that's why await keyword exists

async and await go together, if you add async to a function you have to await

[digital mason]

Thank you, I could no find i anywhere

Does it return the url like avatar_url too or an image object

[dense swallow]

how do i create grps in d.py (slash commands)?

!d discord.app_commands.Group

[unkempt canyon]

discord.app\_commands.Group

class discord.app_commands.Group(*, name=..., description=..., parent=None, guild_ids=None, guild_only=..., default_permissions=...)```
A class that implements an application command group.

These are usually inherited rather than created manually.

Decorators such as [`guild_only()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.guild_only "discord.app_commands.guild_only"), [`guilds()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.guilds "discord.app_commands.guilds"), and [`default_permissions()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactions/api.html#discord.app_commands.default_permissions "discord.app_commands.default_permissions")
will apply to the group if used on top of a subclass. For example...

[dense swallow]

like this?

[timber kindle]

async def assignrole(ctx, member: discord.Member, role_id):
  role1 = discord.Role.id(role_id)
  await member.add_roles(member, role1)```

```Ignoring exception in on_command_error
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/runner/Rolands-Final-Project/venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/discord/ext/commands/core.py", line 85, in wrapped
    ret = await coro(*args, **kwargs)
  File "main.py", line 95, in assignrole
    role1 = discord.Role.id(role_id)
TypeError: 'member_descriptor' object is not callable```

Idk what I'm doing wrong still

[jade tartan]

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/wajuvejuxa Someone help with this code please

[digital mason]

Hi, I used it but I get an error.. Member object has no attribute display_avatar

[hushed galleon]

display_avatar only exists in the 2.0 version of dpy since guild avatars hadnt yet existed when 1.7 was released

[hushed galleon]

to get a Role object from an ID you should use the Guild.get_role(id) method, where the guild can come from member.guild
as well, add_roles() doesn't need to take member as its first argument

[timber kindle]

 role1 = member.Guild.get_role(role_id)
  await member.add_roles(role1)```

so like this?

[hushed galleon]

the guild attribute of member is lowercase but otherwise thats right

hm actually if that assignrole function is a command, you could use the role: discord.Role converter rather than manually getting it

[timber kindle]

oh my god thank you, I've been working on that for 3 days

[oak bridge]

hello. why this for guild in client.guilds:.... for loop can make sure the script could find matching guild.name before printing f'{guild.name}(id: {guild.id})', if I correct understand what he is trying to do?

[robust fulcrum]

client_id = ""
client_secret = ""
redirect_uri = ""
code = ""

auth = Auth(client_id, client_secret, redirect_uri, code=code)
api = Api(auth)

Guys i installed a unsplash python api wrapper
There is was written that i need to put the following code
So i have to put client id and secret of my bot or api
It's not written in documentation

[hushed galleon]

once that if-statement succeeds and the for-loop breaks, the guild variable will remain assigned to whatever guild you're looking for

[oak bridge]

this is the feature of python? or just for this discord package

[hushed galleon]

the for-loop variable existing after it's completed is a python feature

[robust fulcrum]

It's just for knowing which guild bot is

It's feature of discord.py

[vale wing]

Just checked it, it is a bad one

[robust fulcrum]

Will anyone here help me at it

[oak bridge]

but it should be like this? after break ing the for-loop, the program back to that level of scope

scope 2 won't change scope 1 if I understand correctly

[hushed galleon]

in python control structures like for-loops dont create new scopes, so whatever you assign in that for-loop will be in the function scope

[hushed galleon]

id suggest a help channel for your question with the unsplash API since its separate from the discord API that this channel is related to

[oak bridge]

which units has its scope? context managers? functions?

[digital mason]

Does it mean I have to update discord.py

[hushed galleon]

to get that feature yes, but you should read the "migrating to 2.0" page before doing so since there's a lot of breaking changes to be aware of (e.g. avatar_url being removed)
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/migrating.html

[oak bridge]

bad one?

[hushed galleon]

from what i can think of, functions and classes
there's a bit about it in the python documentation here: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/classes.html#python-scopes-and-namespaces

[digital mason]

Ok, I'll update and see if I get any errors

[spring flax]

Is this correct? (the constant is a list)

if any(role in member._roles for role in GLOBAL_CODM_ROLES): 

and also would lambda be more suitable for this, or not?

[muted dagger]

Your assigning a member decorator in the middle of a role declaration.

@unkempt canyon

!eval if any(role in member._roles for role in GLOBAL_CODM_ROLES):

[unkempt canyon]

@muted dagger :x: Your eval job has completed with return code 1.

001 |   File "<string>", line 1
002 |     if any(role in member._roles for role in GLOBAL_CODM_ROLES):
003 |                                                                 ^
004 | IndentationError: expected an indented block after 'if' statement on line 1

[slate swan]

this is correct

[muted dagger]

correct

[spring flax]

and the lambda part, below that question above?

[muted dagger]

i think the indent error might be because of the chat and its nature

[slate swan]

where are you planning to implement that

inside a map/filter?

[spring flax]

nope, just for ```py

check member roles

if true: do something

else: else: do nothing

[slate swan]

the if statment with "any" is fine ig, no point of making another lambda

[muted dagger]

sorry, wrong statement

[muted dagger]

You may wanna provide that as a variable directly in your bots code, and instead of declaring api as a variable, put the api url in the bots command/

[muted dagger]

YEAA LETS GO

[muted dagger]

dont argue with sarth trust me he's gonna leave you in a mess 💀

[slate swan]

wtf lmao

he was correct

[placid skiff]

[muted dagger]

its funny watchin a person just going sentimental at sarth and him not even caring.

[digital mason]

I updated discord.py to 2.0 but now no command is working and I dont see any error

[placid skiff]

Do you have on_message event?

[slate swan]

also, message_content intents

[slate swan]

its most likely due to the message content intent since updating to the master version "does not create a message event" by itself 😔

[digital mason]

Yes, I also call process commands

I use intents too, default

Could it be the issue

Ooh I see

[slate swan]

yes, message content is privileged as of discord api version 10 (which the alpha version uses)

[placid skiff]

Ashley tell me some of the dumbest question you've ever read here

[slate swan]

so you will have to explicitly define those

intents = Intents.all()
intents.message_content = True

[placid skiff]

d.py related obv

[slate swan]

dont ask questions about dumb questions from dumb people 😔 I may not be the right dumb person to answer that

[digital mason]

I got an error, I have to go to developer portal

[placid skiff]

i'm making an extension for the python bot which answer those dumb questions

[digital mason]

Because I had already enabled intents before

[slate swan]

yes, you have to enable the intent from the dev portal - https://www.discord.com/developers/applications

[slate swan]

would be annoying, how do you plan on answering those questions back?

[placid skiff]

and i don't think that you're dumb, you're pretty better then most of the people here

[slate swan]

whatever

[placid skiff]

The idea is different btw it is based on sentence similarity

[slate swan]

yeah yeah, I understand that but, where does the bot send the message that answers the dumb question

[muted dagger]

simping in chat rn

[slate swan]

excuse me?

[muted dagger]

i said, simping in chat rn

[digital mason]

Just enabled in portal

[slate swan]

wonderful

now run the bot

[digital mason]

Lot of stuff changed in 2.0

[placid skiff]

well in the channel where the dumb question is sent
Yeah i know that people would abuse that, i studied automation so i'm used to release product to ignorant people, there will be some advanced checks

[slate swan]

yes
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/master/migrating.html

[digital mason]

I still get the error, shard id none is requesting..

[slate swan]

would be annoying af if it did spam all that shit, good luck though

[placid skiff]

don't worry i will be accurate

[slate swan]

turn Intents on in the dev portal

[slate swan]

over-confidence hm yeah maybe

[digital mason]

I'm dumb, I forgot to save changes

[slate swan]

zamn

[digital mason]

[placid skiff]

over confidence is everything
i would not come that far if i would not be it

[digital mason]

Bot is working, thank you for your time

[slate swan]

sheesh

[slate swan]

yeah, Blvck is a really nice and busy person yet he spares his time to help people, such a beautiful person :)

[heavy shard]

is 2.0 released already or is it still in beta?

[slate swan]

beta

[placid skiff]

The only truth there is that i'm a busy person

[digital mason]

He surely is, I didnt want to go to so and you know why lol

[slate swan]

no, I said what I said

[slate swan]

understandable

[digital mason]

Btw I have made an amazing bot if you want to check it out

Very funny

[slate swan]

doesnt work

[placid skiff]

welp i mean, if you think so

[digital mason]

What doesnt

[slate swan]

none of the commands do

[digital mason]

prefix is pepe

[slate swan]

weird

[slate swan]

what does it do

[placid skiff]

Ash is not kindly judge others work "weird"

[digital mason]

Makes pepe signs, you know the frog ?

[muted dagger]

yes.

frog

[slate swan]

I need answers

[slate swan]

yeah, so like the emojis and all?

id like to check that out

[digital mason]

Yes, there are many commands

[muted dagger]

It uses pillow right?

[digital mason]

Of course

[muted dagger]

Nice

[slate swan]

idk, it should, but the existed is literally out of the gif....

😔

needs some more calculations

[digital mason]

Someone on discord makes them manually, he sent me the templates and I started the bot from that

[muted dagger]

eh, no biggie, its easy to fix.

[digital mason]

This is how I learned discord.py

[slate swan]

still, as a consumer, I'm disappointed

you should reduce the text size based on the amount of characters for it to not get out of the "board"

[muted dagger]

lining

[muted dagger]

poor guy, just let him code in peace

[digital mason]

Yes, very long texts appear outside and very short texts dont show well

[placid skiff]

useless since text in PC and mobile takes different size

[slate swan]

I'm still disappointed

[digital mason]

😅

That code is as messy as a pasta

[placid skiff]

Pasta isn't a mess

[muted dagger]

bro, just wrap the text.

[placid skiff]

now i'm offended too

[muted dagger]

why ae you contradicting eveything hes saying bro, wtf did he do to you

[paper sluice]

[digital mason]

I did, but the gif makes the sign go up and down

[muted dagger]

hes using a metaphor chucklenuts

[placid skiff]

Bruh?

[muted dagger]

Yea, bit messy aye?

[digital mason]

So I had to make changes to x y for each frame

[slate swan]

I need more answers, the whole text doesnt even fit inside the gif

[muted dagger]

OH FKJFIF

[digital mason]

That wouldnt even show

[slate swan]

um what
it would just be an string argument for python, he just writes the string on an image using pillow, how does that relate to a user's client device

[digital mason]

If you upload it as an emoji

[muted dagger]

its the image that resizes not the text,

[slate swan]

still, why would it care about your device?

@digital mason just a suggestion, in your pepecry command, it deleted the user message and doesnt respond when no text is provided, you can send a "please provide some text" message or something so the user doesn't stays confused what happened

[digital mason]

All the commands call the same function

Depending on which mood, so I'll have to make some changes

[dull terrace]

anyone else just sit and stare at print outs while people use their bot like

[slate swan]

do you mean errors by "print outs" ? or some kind of command loggings

[dull terrace]

yeah just logging the state of the game at each interaction, much easier to trace back solutions any bugs that might happen

[digital mason]

Is it possible to hide a command from help

[slate swan]

yeah just add a hidden kwarg which accepts a bool to the command decorator

!rule 7

[unkempt canyon]

Rules

7. Keep discussions relevant to the channel topic. Each channel's description tells you the topic.

[sick birch]

If you’re collecting information like guild names, user names, any IDs, or really any other data make sure your users know and consent to it

[slate swan]

but still

[sick birch]

Yes, but the question itself is not

[slate swan]

^

[sick birch]

I suggest open up a help channel, that way you can get more personalized support

#❓｜how-to-get-help

[minor oriole]

how do we save tokens in env files again?

token = jkkkdkd

like this?

[robust fulcrum]

@client.command()
async def image(ctx,image):
        image = requests.get(f'https://source.unsplash.com/720x600/?{image}') 
        await ctx.send(image)

Guys my command is not working
Can anyone help me?

[dull terrace]

obviously need all of that for save files to remember players and for the game to function?

[sick birch]

Right, still make sure you explicitly say that

[robust fulcrum]

@client.command()
async def image(ctx,image):
        image = requests.get(f'https://source.unsplash.com/720x600/?{image}') 
        await ctx.send(image)

Guys my command is not working
Can anyone help me?

[slate swan]

I did

[sick birch]

If they play the game, they accept to that data being collected

[dull terrace]

i emailed discord about data collection a while back to clarify for my first bot and got a form response

[slate swan]

I gave you such a big example of aiohttp and you're just like using requests again 😭

[sick birch]

Cool, do what they said then and generally just be respectful of others data

[sick birch]

“Not working”?

[robust fulcrum]

Ik but aiohtto is going up of my brain

[dull terrace]

i see no other bots do this in a way that's explicit?

[dull terrace]

of course, i follow common sense

[robust fulcrum]

Ye

[sick birch]

They’ve probably got it in their terms if service on their website

[robust fulcrum]

I made that Pokemon command with you help

[sick birch]

Either that or they’re not collecting data

[robust fulcrum]

Thank u

[slate swan]

....uh

[paper sluice]

why do u need to send a request, just send the url. Discord will render the image

[robust fulcrum]

Hmmm ok

[dull terrace]

isn't a TOS a requirement when your bot gets over a certain amount of guilds now?

[sick birch]

Not sure about that

[dull terrace]

in the developer portal for each bot rn, heard from others that you're required to fill it at some point

[sick birch]

Ah yeah

[dull terrace]

either way sounds like a good idea

[sick birch]

Does your bot have a dashboard?

If so I’d create a page there for terms of service and link it

[slate swan]

it is required at time of verification now

i just use my bot's github wiki page

[sick birch]

That’s probably what I’m gonna do if I decide to go commercial with my bot

[dull terrace]

dashboard?

I've had a website on to do list for a while now

[sick birch]

Yeah, a web dashboard to manage your bot from online

[robust fulcrum]

Guys how to fix this

[sick birch]

I’d recommend next js which is what I use 😊

[slate swan]

you are using 2.0, intents kwarg is required

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm how to

[slate swan]

!intents

[unkempt canyon]

Using intents in discord.py

Intents are a feature of Discord that tells the gateway exactly which events to send your bot. By default discord.py has all intents enabled except for Members, Message Content, and Presences. These are needed for features such as on_member events, to get access to message content, and to get members' statuses.

To enable one of these intents, you need to first go to the Discord developer portal, then to the bot page of your bot's application. Scroll down to the Privileged Gateway Intents section, then enable the intents that you need.

Next, in your bot you need to set the intents you want to connect with in the bot's constructor using the intents keyword argument, like this:

from discord import Intents
from discord.ext import commands

intents = Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

For more info about using intents, see the discord.py docs on intents, and for general information about them, see the Discord developer documentation on intents.

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[sage otter]

How do people actually code on their phones. That gots to be so painful.

[digital mason]

Thank you, it worked. I also showed messages like provide a text when no text was given, but if the command arg is strong typed, like doscord.Member for example, an exception is thrown and caught by discord, so the command stops and I dont have a way to show the error message

[slate swan]

similar but you don't need the .members if you don't need it

[dull terrace]

tempted to build it all in python

[sick birch]

The backend? Sure

[dull terrace]

people get so mad if you say you'll do the front end in python

[slate swan]

pyscript~

[heavy shard]

is message_content in default intents? he probably gonna need it too

[slate swan]

good point.

[sick birch]

A dashboard is not very static, so you’re gonna need a JavaScript framework

[slate swan]

huh? wdym? what are you typehinting the parameter as which accept the argument?

[slate swan]

nope, its privileged

[dull terrace]

😤 gonna have to learn it properly aren't i

[digital mason]

Because if I dont by default that message is a string and if I tag someone I get the id like <@xxxxxxx>

[dull terrace]

i have a phobia of curly brackets

[slate swan]

add some checks?

[robust fulcrum]

I am getting this error now

[sick birch]

Gotta get used to it

[digital mason]

Oh

[sick birch]

Remove the ()

[digital mason]

But how

arg is str

Wait I think I have already made checks

Dammit I hate if elses

[heavy shard]

shakes his fist at python's keywords

[slate swan]

use RegEx as an alternative, its still faster than conditionals

!pip regex

[unkempt canyon]

regex v2022.4.24

Alternative regular expression module, to replace re.

@client.command
async def image(ctx,image):

My command not working

[slate swan]

wait

[slate swan]

....? uh

what the heck is that command

[robust fulcrum]

What's error in it

[digital mason]

I have functions that match channels, user mentions

[heavy shard]

he probably needs message_content intent now

[slate swan]

how do you even expect users to match the same names to the images 😭

[slate swan]

@robust fulcrum if that may the issue be

[robust fulcrum]

Hmm

[digital mason]

@client.command() You forgot parentheses

[nimble plume]

no

no need

works without it

[digital mason]

Another thing to learn

Does it work with all decorators

[nimble plume]

im lieing

dont trust me

[digital mason]

Hi lieing Im Vanni

[slate swan]

hm?

[digital mason]

Parentheses

I'm confused

[nimble plume]

im giving him right information

[slate swan]

I'm going blind every passing second

[slate swan]

you're right

[slate swan]

and there we go again

[digital mason]

Someone said it before

[nimble plume]

again?

[placid skiff]

Then you will miss all the hilarious thing that happens here

[paper sluice]

you forgot to call client.commad

[nimble plume]

no

[slate swan]

I'm too lazy to get my glasses 😭

[nimble plume]

command doesnt have any phone no. cant call

[paper sluice]

-_-

[slate swan]

lmao

[robust fulcrum]

Btw can we use code of @unkempt canyon in our bot?

[slate swan]

it does have a phone

its a callable🤙

[nimble plume]

can u give me ill dial

[sick birch]

It’s FOSS, so yeah

[slate swan]

sure its ||never gonna give you up||

[robust fulcrum]

Can you tell how to set-up it there no setup guide for it

[nimble plume]

i cant see its black

[slate swan]

press the button

[nimble plume]

doesnt work

[sick birch]

You just need docker and the proper env vars

[robust fulcrum]

Whats docker?

[nimble plume]

see

[slate swan]

i should learn about containers and envs

[sick birch]

Popular DevOps tool

[robust fulcrum]

Ok

[nimble plume]

yes

[robust fulcrum]

I just need to fill env?

[sick birch]

And run docker compose yeah

[nimble plume]

doctor?

[sick birch]

At least I think it’s docker compose

[slate swan]

Robin is a doctor yes

[nimble plume]

wow

[sick birch]

I have a doctorate in discord bots

[nimble plume]

Double checked it, everything is correct, but that parameter is getting marked optional for some reason

[stone beacon]

🗿

[jade tartan]

role = discord.utils.get(guild.roles, name="Muted")
is this correct to add a role to the member?

[sage otter]

No, that’s how you get a role tho.

[slate swan]

shouldnt use utils

[sage otter]

Id use utils if I don’t have a role id

[slate swan]

i would only use it only in your case but if you do have the id you should use Guild.get_role

since in its base it would be O(1) but can be O(n) which utils always iterates through all of the roles it will always be O(n) while Guild.get_role uses dict.get()

[terse coyote]

ctx.guild.roles

[sick birch]

utils.get is exponential

[mellow barn]

Now it's really annoying, all parameters on all slash commands are getting marked optional

[sick birch]

since it supports nested attribute lookup

[mellow barn]

Even if they have keyword argument require set to True

[terse coyote]

or member.guild.roles

[slate swan]

is it?

[sick birch]

O(n) is best case, worst case is indeterminate

[slate swan]

mhm

you can use tasks

[sick birch]

Tasks, otherwise you're going to get ratelimited

[stray mural]

ok

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/tasks/index.html

[slate swan]

i was gonna say it can block your bots heartbeat but you can just create a task with the loop attr in the bot which is literal to a AbstractEventLoop

gosh i love saying that word

[stray mural]

thx

[slate swan]

youre welcome

[minor oriole]

Can someone guide me in making a discord bot with discord.py?

im actually new to the library

also not much experience in following docs

what is that letter and how did i make it

[winged bone]

That's for nextcord and disnake, he uses discord.py

[slate swan]

^

[winged bone]

?

[slate swan]

he can just switch?

and its probably all the same?

[winged bone]

Not quite, especially the slash / app commands are implemented differently

[slate swan]

just check examples on main lol

[sick birch]

good to know that my examples at least help people

[minor oriole]

well the guy here is teaching with nextcord

i guess that works too

[sick birch]

The concepts are the same, just apply them to discord.py

[slate swan]

oh no they make me wanna delete github

[sick birch]

In programming the concepts are more important than any library or language, since most of the time they all use the same base concepts, but just reskinned

[sick birch]

thank you, that's the effect I was going for 😄

[oak bridge]

@client.event decorator

this question is about the implementation of decorator.

why we can use this decorator in such way to override event handlers in a Client class definition?

the definition of @client.event:
https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/blob/master/discord/client.py#L1104

some example implementation of it:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == client.user:
        return

    if message.content.startswith('$alert'):
        await message.channel.send('https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-reference/v5/#fun_alert')

    if message.content.startswith('$ta.wad'):
        await message.channel.send("https://www.tradingview.com/pine-script-reference/v5/#var_ta{dot}wad")

[slate swan]

[unkempt canyon]

discord/client.py line 1104

def event(self, coro: Coro, /) -> Coro:```

[sick birch]

I should make more

[spark cloud]

Is it possible to make money by creating a discord bot?

how

go to dm

Working as an individual contractor to make bots for people, donations for your bot, paid content, etc

[nimble plume]

why are u angry

[spark cloud]

ok

[jade tartan]

Is this right?

[placid skiff]

[sick birch]

One look at the error logs would indicate the answer to that question

[placid skiff]

The IDE is literally saying "I wanna punch you. I wanna punch you but i can't"

[slate swan]

nah its saying i wanna restart

😭

[vocal plover]

fyi, you should link tutorial.vcokltfre.dev, that redirect won't be around forever, I'm probably going to put a blog on the apex :P

[slate swan]

#discord-bots message then edit your message without the redirect

[vocal plover]

huh I thought I edited that forever ago lol

seemingly not

[slate swan]

it was edited yes, but the link wasnt changed

[minor oriole]

do u guys ever get confused between what to use? discord.py pycord nextcord

[slate swan]

not really it really depends on what fork you like the most!

[slate swan]

I use disnake

[minor oriole]

im a pure beginner with these libraries 😂

[slate swan]

i mostly like disnake because of their implementation lol

[sick birch]

Don't like any of their implementations

Including discord.py

I feel like registration of application commands should be decoupled from application command handlers (your actual code)

[placid skiff]

honestly disnake has implemented very well application commands

the only thing that is missing is a deco for both application and user commands but tbh is not really necessary

[stone beacon]

Tbh all of them feel the same to me

[vocal plover]

with disnake you can just disable syncing commands

[placid skiff]

nah i tried the most used

[sick birch]

That's a step in the right direction

[vocal plover]

I think if beginners had to register their commands themselves it would discourage people from using it entirely

[placid skiff]

disnake is absolutely more user friendly

[vocal plover]

That's a hella lot of friction to make a bot

[sick birch]

They had to weigh beginner friendliness with practicality - that's a difficult one

[vocal plover]

We do at some point want to make it not sync by default, we just need to convince ourselves the fallout is worth it lol

[stone beacon]

It probably is but that's like asking which js framework is better when you have experience with 2 or 3. Some are gonna have some nice quirks or handling but ultimately not that complicated to learn if you know one or two

just for me that is

[dull terrace]

anyone have a boilerplate TOS for a bot?

[flint isle]

how do I create a command to log off the bot?

so i can limit multiple instances when i forget and am coding on the go

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.close

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.close

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

Closes the connection to Discord.

[flint isle]

close is not defined

and im using disnake

[sage otter]

did you literally just write
await close() and expect it to work

[flint isle]

yep lmao oops would i put await bot.close

[sage otter]

yea.

With parenthesis at the end.

[flint isle]

ok lol I feel so dumb rn

How do I check if the person running the command is the bots owner

[slate swan]

!d discord.ext.commands.is_owner , its a check decorator , same for forks too

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.is\_owner

@discord.ext.commands.is_owner()```
A [`check()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.check "discord.ext.commands.check") that checks if the person invoking this command is the
owner of the bot.

This is powered by [`Bot.is_owner()`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner "discord.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner").

This check raises a special exception, [`NotOwner`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.NotOwner "discord.ext.commands.NotOwner") that is derived
from [`CheckFailure`](https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure "discord.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

[flint isle]

Is it different for disnake?

[wicked atlas]

!d disnake.ext.commands.is_owner

[unkempt canyon]

disnake.ext.commands.is\_owner

@disnake.ext.commands.is_owner()```
A [`check()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#disnake.ext.commands.check "disnake.ext.commands.check") that checks if the person invoking this command is the
owner of the bot.

This is powered by [`Bot.is_owner()`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#disnake.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner "disnake.ext.commands.Bot.is_owner").

This check raises a special exception, [`NotOwner`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#disnake.ext.commands.NotOwner "disnake.ext.commands.NotOwner") that is derived
from [`CheckFailure`](https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/api.html#disnake.ext.commands.CheckFailure "disnake.ext.commands.CheckFailure").

[slate swan]

i literally wrote in that statment....

[flint isle]

oh lol i ddnt see that apparenty

[slate swan]

Possibly due to pylint

[slate swan]

Disable it if it's on

[vale wing]

Totally not

Those are syntax errors

[slate swan]

I got over a 1000 errors on a 150 line code because of it

[slate swan]

Maybe but I got over 1000 errors when it was enabled

[heady sluice]

that's a lot

[slate swan]

And it worked fine when disabled

[slate swan]

Ik

[vale wing]

Lower the pylint levels in settings

[slate swan]

Idk I'm dumb

Disabling it is the best way

[flint isle]

whats the error handeling?

[vale wing]

I am saying these are not issues by pylint, they're by pylance if you take the closer look

[slate swan]

Ah it might be pylance

[vale wing]

And those are syntax errors caused by space + tabs in code

[slate swan]

I get mixed up

[vale wing]

It is pylance

[slate swan]

Ahhh I'm dumb

[slate swan]

Then pylance is extremely annoying

I accidentally turned it on

[wicked atlas]

I mean, those are actual syntax errors

[vale wing]

Basically when you do something else than just printing traceback on error

[slate swan]

It made me delete vscode

[vale wing]

Those are actual syntax errors and the code will not work until they are fixed

Said several times

[slate swan]

Basically custom error msg

[slate swan]

Alr

[flint isle]

whats the code in the documentation for errors

[vale wing]

Wut

I forgot the event or smth

[wicked atlas]

Nope not that one

[vale wing]

on_error is more low level

[wicked atlas]

https://docs.disnake.dev/en/latest/ext/commands/commands.html#error-handling

[slate swan]

I think

Or smthinf like that

[vale wing]

No

[slate swan]

Quick question what's the difference between client.commsnd and bot.command?

[vale wing]

Can you not provide misinformation please

[slate swan]

Or is it preferance?

[vale wing]

Depends what client and bot are

[wicked atlas]

None, as long as you’re using a Bot object

[vale wing]

Names mean nothing to computer

[slate swan]

https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/ext/commands/commands.html#error-handling

[flint isle]

wait is it "pcr" thats a command

@pcr.error
    async def pcr_error(self, ctx, error):
        if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
         

[slate swan]

Ah u beat me to it

[vale wing]

Oh god why not use global handlers

Screw local handlers

!d discord.ext.commands.Bot.on_command_error listen to this event

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Bot.on\_command\_error

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

The default command error handler provided by the bot.

By default this prints to [`sys.stderr`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.stderr "(in Python v3.10)") however it could be
overridden to have a different implementation...

[flint isle]

uhhh does this go in a command ?like:

@commands.commands(name="e")
async def e(self, ctx)
    await ctx.send("e a sports")
    await on_command_error(context,exception)

[vale wing]

#BeDRY

[quaint epoch]

no

it's an seperate func

[vale wing]

@commands.Cog.listener()
async def on_command_error(ctx: commands.Context, error: discord.CommandError):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        ...
    elif isintance(error, commands.BadArgument):
        ...

hey guys can someone explain me how i can safe id’s in a json datei with a command? And i need to check if a member’s id who sends the bot a dm is in the datei

[slate swan]

Ignoring exception in command None:
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandNotFound: Command "whitelist" is not found

why tf is this happening although its literally a command

is it @bot.commands or @bot.command

@bot.command
async def whitelist(ctx):

bot.command()

fr?

yea

It does

[slate swan]

it does, it will just not ping the member

[quaint forum]

It just does this... instead of actually pinging

[frozen patio]

You need to put them in formatted strings

[quaint forum]

Yeah I tried that as well

[frozen patio]

Ok, is the member in the server?

[quaint forum]

f"<@{message.author.id}>"

Yeah I'm testing it on myself

uhhh

You need the braces on the outside

[slate swan]

note that that won't happen in author, title, field names and footer.

[sick birch]

Only in certain fields

[quaint forum]

Its in a field one

[sick birch]

Don’t think it works in field titles

I'm wondering why am I getting a "discord.errors.HTTPException: 400 Bad Request (error code: 50035): Invalid Form Body
In components.0.components.0: The specified component type is invalid in this context" while trying to add a TextInput to a view...?
Am I missing something about how to use TextInput like adding them to a form or so ?

    async def callback(self, interaction : Interaction):
        embed = discord.Embed(color=0x39fe16)
        embed.add_field(name="Créer un pari", value="Renseigner les champs ci-dessous", inline=False)

        await interaction.response.defer()

[worldly solstice]

Hey quick question guys: If i have a string that looks like this for example Fhttps://temporaryimport.ams3.digitaloceanspaces.com/metadata/6848.json is there a way ( besides something like link = link[1:71]) to cut out the link by saying start with https and end with .json? So its easier scalable

[rare saddle]

How to make a link in an embed title?

[worldly solstice]

embed.set_title(name)
embed.set_url(buyNow)```

[rare saddle]

thanks you

[worldly solstice]

just embed.set_url

[worldly solstice]

You are very welcome

[rare saddle]

?

Am I doing something wrong?

[stone beacon]

TextInput is not an Item

You need to add TextInput to the modal (the form)

!d discord.ui.Modal

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ui.Modal

class discord.ui.Modal(*, title=..., timeout=None, custom_id=...)```
Represents a UI modal.

This object must be inherited to create a modal popup window within discord.

New in version 2.0...

[stone beacon]

That's what you need to use, not View for your form @gaunt mortar

[gaunt mortar]

Oh ok, thanks a lot 🙂

[stone beacon]

You can either burn your eyes and use some regex or the good old if str.startswith(string) and str.endswith(string)

[vale wing]

If you meant this

You can extract any part just by splitting your link

Did discord just break image embeds or something? I didn't change anything here and the images arent in the embeds anymore... The code is retrieving the image just fine; I'm having it print it out in the output, but its just not putting the image into the embed, any ideas? I'm going to try to undo a bunch of stuff I just did to see if thats why, but I really don't think it is

[heady sluice]

how do you set it

[quaint forum]

Like this, the same way I was setting it 30 minutes ago when it was working

embed.set_image(url=currentWinner.attachments[0].url)

[heady sluice]

did you print currentWinner.attachments[0].url ?

[quaint forum]

yep

is it cause the file .PNG?

[heady sluice]

seems good

[quaint forum]

someone just told me its supposed to be .png

[heady sluice]

even though Idk why png is uppercase

[quaint forum]

yeah i dont either

I think its cause of the caps, my friend just sent a .png instead of .PNG and his worked just fine

[heady sluice]

try
embed.set_image(url=currentWinner.attachments[0].url.lower()) then

[quaint forum]

well maybe not, my .PNG is working now, I think discord just had a really temporary problem lol

[heady sluice]

[slate swan]

So i'm wanting to put info into an embed, but i want to get the information from the databse about that specifc trade, i tried this but it didnt work:

[heady sluice]

I think this is more related to #databases

!repl

[unkempt canyon]

Read-Eval-Print Loop

A REPL is an interactive language shell environment. It first reads one or more expressions entered by the user, evaluates it, yields the result, and prints it out to the user. It will then loop back to the read step.

To use python's REPL, execute the interpreter with no arguments. This will drop you into the interactive interpreter shell, print out some relevant information, and then prompt you with the primary prompt >>>. At this point it is waiting for your input.

Firstly you can start typing in some valid python expressions, pressing <return> to either bring you to the eval step, or prompting you with the secondary prompt ... (or no prompt at all depending on your environment), meaning your expression isn't yet terminated and it's waiting for more input. This is useful for code that requires multiple lines like loops, functions, and classes. If you reach the secondary prompt in a clause that can have an arbitrary amount of expressions, you can terminate it by pressing <return> on a blank line. In other words, for the last expression you write in the clause, <return> must be pressed twice in a row.

Alternatively, you can make use of the builtin help() function. help(thing) to get help on some thing object, or help() to start an interactive help session. This mode is extremely powerful, read the instructions when first entering the session to learn how to use it.

Lastly you can run your code with the -i flag to execute your code normally, but be dropped into the REPL once execution is finished, giving you access to all your global variables/functions in the REPL.

To exit either a help session, or normal REPL prompt, you must send an EOF signal to the prompt. In *nix systems, this is done with ctrl + D, and in windows systems it is ctrl + Z. You can also exit the normal REPL prompt with the dedicated functions exit() or quit().

!sql-fstring

[unkempt canyon]

SQL & f-strings
Don't use f-strings (f"") or other forms of "string interpolation" (%, +, .format) to inject data into a SQL query. It is an endless source of bugs and syntax errors. Additionally, in user-facing applications, it presents a major security risk via SQL injection.

Your database library should support "query parameters". A query parameter is a placeholder that you put in the SQL query. When the query is executed, you provide data to the database library, and the library inserts the data into the query for you, safely.

For example, the sqlite3 package supports using ? as a placeholder:

query = "SELECT * FROM stocks WHERE symbol = ?;"
params = ("RHAT",)
db.execute(query, params)

Note: Different database libraries support different placeholder styles, e.g. %s and $1. Consult your library's documentation for details.

See Also

• PEP-249 - A specification of how database libraries in Python should work

Hey,
I'm currently testing around a bit on slash autocompleting, and I run into this problem:
https://i.imgur.com/XZgakum.png
The code is (obviously) supposed to send the embed, and not the object. I don't really know what I did wrong, as I also can't await it before which I think would fix the problem. This is my current code:

This is the ruleclass, I'm following the docs where they mentioned to subclass it:

class ruleclass(str, Enum):
    RuleOne = disnake.Embed(title="1) Follow the Discord ToS (https://discord.com/terms)", color=disnake.Colour.random())

This is the command:

    @commands.slash_command(description="Send a specific rule into the channel.")
    async def ruletest(
      inter: disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction,
      rule: ruleclass
    ):
      await inter.response.send_message(rule)

[heady sluice]

it's embed=rule

[cloud dawn]

Use the embed kwarg

[olive osprey]

Bruh, sometimes I think I'm missing the half of my brain

[heady sluice]

that's unfortunate

[vocal plover]

that's interesting

[slate swan]

i tried both but both dont work

At least you had 3 to begin with...

pycord

[slate swan]

yes

[heady sluice]

bru he didn't mean the discord library

[slate swan]

oh

[vocal plover]

so why did you say py not database lol

[heady sluice]

python wise doesn't mean discord wise

[vocal plover]

I mean sure but like, isnt database the only option there for the db lib anyway lol

[heady sluice]

@slate swan you got an answer in databases

I guess

[slate swan]

ill try and see if it works

no because I thought he would say MySQL

not this

even though I don't think the answer he got makes sense

How can I push a help dialog for the command with an issue so they can see the syntax

[heady sluice]

why are you using try-except in an error handler

well it doesn't matter

[flint isle]

it's what was reccomended to me earlier. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[heady sluice]

what do you mean by help dialog?

just how to use the command?

[flint isle]

Like

$cmd {argnamehere}

On an error.

So they run $cmd but forget the arg so it sends the syntax to remind them

[heady sluice]

hm, all you need is the Command object which I'm trying to see how you get with the Error

!d discord.ext.commands.Context.command

[unkempt canyon]

discord.ext.commands.Context.command

The command that is being invoked currently.

[heady sluice]

!d discord.ext.commands.Command

[heady sluice]

these are the attributes of ctx.command

you could send ctx.command.usage

it seems useful

[flint isle]

So

await ctx.send(ctx.command.usage)```

[heady sluice]

probably

other than that, command.name + command.clean_params

hey guys, i have this code that essentially sends the same message a user sent in multiple channels using a webhook. it all works but when people spam there is some pretty major delay between someone sending the message and the webhook sending it in the other channels. is the bottleneck in discord's servers due to too many requests? is it on  my end? if i host it on a beefier server will it be faster?

[flint isle]

Welp what I said didn't work

[flint isle]

Could you format that I can see how it looks in code. Cause my brain just hit a 404 brain not found

[flint isle]

Too many api requests likely.they will be delayed

[grand shell]

so is there anything i can do?

[flint isle]

Nope. What's it for anyways lol

[grand shell]

oh nothing haha, im just experimenting with webhooks for the first time👍🏻

so what do really huge bots do (like MEE6) and so on

surely they are doing more than 50 API requests / second (which is the limit i think)

[vale wing]

Huge bots have higher limits

[grand shell]

ah ok

is there a formal proccess to increasing your bots limit?

like once you reach x servers you get x requests/s

[sick birch]

Other than just growing larger, no

[vale wing]

I don't know myself but it must be automated

The only formal thing you gotta do with your bot is to verify it on 100 guilds

[grand shell]

yea

rip

[heady sluice]

await ctx.send(ctx.command.name + ctx.command.clean_params)

[vale wing]

I just checked dev portal and it turns out limit of 50 requests per second is global tho

Weird I have other information

[waxen python]

I have a function in a cog file, that i need to call with data from another file thats not apart of the bot.
Problem is, it has self. And using @staticmethod doesnt work as in the function in the bot file i need to use client.
How can I call the function without self?

[vale wing]

What part of cog object do you use in your function

Could you show the whole function

[waxen python]

    async def crisp_chat_received(self, channel_name, raw_data):
        WH_guild = self.client.get_guild(0000000000000000000)
        try:
            send_to = discord.utils.get(WH_guild.channels, name=channel_name)
            await send_to.send(f"From: {raw_data['data']['user']['nickname']}\n {raw_data['data']['content']}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)
            print("Channel not there, will make!!!!")
            print(channel_name)

oops, sorry

[vale wing]

Just parse client to a function

You don't need the whole cog

[waxen python]

The file thats calling the function doesnt have client, its not apart of the bot core (the file with the image code)

[vale wing]

# file1
async def crisp_chat_received(client, channel_name, raw_data):
    ...

# cog
await crisp_chat_revived(self.client, ..., ...)```

[waxen python]

Its the other way around

# external file
asyncio.run(crispAPI.crisp_chat_received(channel_name, data))

# cog
    async def crisp_chat_received(self, channel_name, raw_data):
        WH_guild = self.client.get_guild(0000000000000000000)
        try:
            send_to = discord.utils.get(WH_guild.channels, name=channel_name)
            await send_to.send(f"From: {raw_data['data']['user']['nickname']}\n {raw_data['data']['content']}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)
            print("Channel not there, will make!!!!")
            print(channel_name)

[vale wing]

Why the heck is there asyncio.run

[waxen python]

because its an async function

[vale wing]

I don't get the purpose of it

[sick birch]

It’s the recommended way

[vale wing]

Why wouldn't you just await it

[waxen python]

i dont think that would help

[vale wing]

To help with that I need to know the project structure

[pliant gulch]

If you have no access to the Bot abstraction, you’ll have to use the REST api manually. Seems like you have the proper IDs anyways to make that work

[vale wing]

Pretty sure you are able to make the whole thing awaitable without usages of asyncio.run and other utilities to run coro from non coro context

[waxen python]

okay

bot {
     cog.py (has crisp_chat_received function)
}

    @webserver-event (needs to fire crisp_chat_function)
}

[vale wing]

Ah API integration?

[waxen python]

yes

[vale wing]

Personally I just put the whole API into a cog

[waxen python]

Wait, no im not sure i meant that
its processing a webhook

[pliant gulch]

^ But you could possibly refactor your code to work

If it’s a webhook you won’t need the bot either

[vale wing]

You can bring the function out of the cog to a separated module

[waxen python]

the webhook has the json data the bot needs to do my thing

[vale wing]

But I am guessing you are having issues specifically with API integration

[waxen python]

the issue im having is getting the data from the webserver passed to the function in the cog

[vale wing]

So the solution is

1. Bring the function out to a separated module

2. Put your API into another cog so you can access the bot from it

Outdated tutorial don't watch it

[waxen python]

I cant really bring the function out (i dont think) because i need to interact with discord, like creating channels/sending messages as the bot with the json response from the webserver

[vale wing]

Everything > 1 year old is outdated and the other part is mostly incorrect

Proper way to get a channel*

[pliant gulch]

If you have the bot token and the channel IDs just use the REST api without abstraction 😔

[vale wing]

!d discord.Guild.get_channel (bot has this method as well)

[unkempt canyon]

discord.Guild.get\_channel

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

Note

This does *not* search for threads...

[vale wing]

Yes

[waxen python]

ill keep this as an idea, if the docs are anywhere for raw requests?

[vale wing]

You can

Just parse client arg to there

You can always bring a piece of code to a function

[waxen python]

client arg from where tho? I dont have it in the external file that im passing from

[vale wing]

There are no exceptions

[vale wing]

From cog

To function

[waxen python]

but it needs to go

im unsure how that would work

[vale wing]

That's called refactoring

[waxen python]

that doesnt seem to solve the issue if i need client from the cog to pass to another external file

[pliant gulch]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/intro

[vale wing]

Second point

Put your API into the cog

Another cog*

[waxen python]

its not an API, its a webserver

[vale wing]

Same thing

[pliant gulch]

The create message endpoint is just POST channels/channel_id/messages then you pass the payload

Authorisation headers r needed as well but you I’m assuming have the token

The only other thing you need is an aiohttp session

[waxen python]

currently / (what i would like):
external file (has data needed in cog) -> cog (has client to interact with discord, uses data from webserver in a function in the cog)

[pliant gulch]

Do you start the bot and the web server in the same file?

[pliant gulch]

Instead of making it do a process open just import the file and run it from the same file

Then you’ll have access to the bot instance

[sick birch]

Look into threading

You can share resources between threads iirc

If you’re making a dashboard, consider if you need IPC between bot and dashboard
