🔒 Discord Bot

[sturdy nebula]

Hello, I am trying to learn python and I know input etc. commands yet. I thought I could actually improve by creating a bot and I decided to do this, I would have a few requests from you:

1. I want to host my bot, I have a server but I haven't written any code etc. yet, what should I do to make it look and work active for now?

2. Resources for me to learn 😄

Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

You can start by learning basic python

Functions

I started learning python by making telegram bot, and watching open source GitHub repos.

Here is the base for a very simple discord bot. It will send a message saying "Hello" when you use the command !hello.
You will need to get your discord bot token from here: https://discord.com/developers/applications

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

# Replace 'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN' with your actual bot token
TOKEN = 'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN'

# Intents are required for the bot to function properly
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

# Create a bot instance with a command prefix of '!'
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'We have logged in as {bot.user}')

@bot.command(name='hello')
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Hello!')

# Run the bot with the specified token
bot.run(TOKEN)

Thanks, Sir.

[sturdy nebula]

Ummm, Sir.
Dont work.
I wrote the token but it didn't work.

How are you trying to start the program?

[sturdy nebula]

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

# Replace 'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN' with your actual bot token
TOKEN = 'bots token'

# Intents are required for the bot to function properly
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

# Create a bot instance with a command prefix of '!'
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'We have logged in as {bot.user}')

@bot.command(name='hello')
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Hello!')

# Run the bot with the specified token
bot.run(TOKEN)
