[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #1491 \[Intents\] Guild Member Update Event Details

Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹

I am hoping to request additional details be provided on this event if possible. For any bot that has server log feature, intents have severely impacted our ability to have proper logs.

Due to the changes in intents, it has become nearly impossible to fetch all members on startup because it takes way too long for larger bots. That means we will not have members cached when a role is changed meaning we will always be forced to fetch audit logs on every single guildMemberUpdate o...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1489: \[feedback\] bot verification feedback

Disabling certain features from unverified bots have some downsides, many servers have their own bot which they use for support purposes and more things - and other things that involve DMs.

In context of a public bot, 100 servers is a super tiny amount of servers and at that point re-branding should still be an option. But for bots that are in more than 1k or 2.5k servers, owners should be able to contact support for changing the bot's name for re-branding or whatever - permanently taking ...

Disabling certain features from unverified bots have some downsides, many servers have their own bot (1-2 server bot) which they use for support purposes and more things - and other things that involve DMs.

That feature could be opt-in, as in it comes disabled by default. Maybe show a warning above the message when an unverified bot DMs you?

I'd rather add an option to request a name change in dev portal.
I think @alula's approach is by far the best option one suggested here regarding name changes, considering that disabling name changes all together could limit developers to an old "brand", even though they already moved on from certain name.
I think name changes should be allowed, but perhaps a little note saying that this user used to be x?

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1484: Message as a usable ADT?

I don't think a proper ADT representation is possible because internally no such data structures exist. We always re-use the same primitive objects in additional types whenever possible. In reality all fields of a model could in theory be returned on a different type, and we have re-used fields in this manner for past feature releases. Someone could document the "fields that matter" for each type, though.

I agree that a big pain point with the docs is the consistency in describing the representation for objects in different contexts. The ways we communicate this include:

  • Notes on the structure table: The Guild Object is painted with asterisks that denote which fields are only sent with GUILD_CREATE, similarly with the Message Object table for MESSAGE_CREATE fields.
  • Blanket notes on the event: MESSAGE_UPDATE has a note saying "a message object, but every field is optional except...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1488: \[Feature Request\] Pass along member\_count on GUILD\_MEMBER\_ADD and GUILD\_MEMBER\_REMOVE

We most likely would not add a count to these events, as they are related solely to the member object (not the guild). We do return member count in guild responses in some places (like guild ready or invites), so perhaps a feature request you could make would be related to a new event which gives you updates of that value or a way to request that value in the response via API.

One would expect that the mfa_enabled field is supplied if you have the IDENTIFY scope and the information is pertaining to the current bot user (e.g. in the READY event and the USER_UPDATE event).

Perhaps slightly unrelated, and maybe better fitting for another issue, but: Is there any recommendation for a minimum amount of time we should wait for a session to be issued?

I believe the current advice is fine; as long as the gateway continues to heartbeat & ack, you can expect the service to be responsive. If you are otherwise required to reconnect, Discord will send you the appropriate close frame, Opcode 7 Reconnect, etc.

Clients are of course still free to implement a timeout in a hypothetical situation they send an IDENTIFY and experience a very long delay before READY, but this is probably unwise; if the gateway is still issuing heartbeat acks, try...

@msciotti Accuracy is very important to me for analytical and statistical purposes. I want to be able to see how the member count changes over time, even if just a little, which requires that the numbers I get are precise.

To be fair, now that I've thought about it, this would probably not do anything for me to help my use case anyway, as I would like to gather statistics on information that I just wouldn't be able to get, such as member vs bot count, number of online vs offline members, etc.

If you could separate users and bot accounts somehow, that would be great.

This sounds like a decent idea. If I might suggest my take on it: Limit a guild to some number of bots (perhaps 50?), but then allow servers to be whitelisted to bypass this limit. This limit could be bypassed if the person adding the bot is the bot's owner (there's already a check to see if the user is the bot owner, when the bot is set to private, so it could possibly be reused).

Additionally does it not explain in any way the specifics of said public_flags like f.e. which flags are available through it, if they require any specific setup or handling and some other info I currently can't think of.

So I ask here now for some clarification to these questions:

Are public_flags usable by bots without any additional OAuth scopes (Advaith answered it already but an "official" response from a Discord staff would be appreciated)

ik you want an official response but you can just test it lol, bots are using it in production without oauth

What flags are actually within the public_flags? Every flag from the flags field of the User object? If yes, why even have a separate field then and not just allow access to the fields option?

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1532: Clarification for public\_flags

Yes. It is hard to tell from the PR alone - because the documentation is not live yet - but [flags](#DOCS_RESOURCES_USER/user-object-user-flags) is an anchor link to the user flags table.
This is indeed meant to convey that all possible user flags values may also show up in public_flags. The only "difference" is public_flags is populated for Bot clients, and flags is not.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1532: Clarification for public\_flags

It isn't useful to bring undocumented flags into the discussion - it just adds to the confusion.
Bit flags in the API follow the same policy as any other undocumented data in the API. The flags fields may contain any integer value. You are only ever guaranteed to be able to reliably enumerate the documented ones in the singular User Flags table. Any other bit may be set at any time, in any context, just as any object may carry any number of undocumented fields.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1532: Clarification for public\_flags

flags was a confusing user model value because it is internally a combination of public, private, and internal flags. we expose public and/or private flags on flags depending on the request context, which was hard to reconcile when we wanted to bring flags into the base user model serialization we serve network-wide.

as a result, public flags were pulled out into public_flags for just the public flags. flags still contains public flags to be backwards compatible (for now). for th...

I'd like to see Discord applications have fields in their options to specify links for the privacy policy and terms of service for the application. The purpose of this would be to allow users to have proper notice if using a developer's bot is subject to any conditions and give notice to users of the developer's privacy practices, including what end user data the bot developer collects and how they use that end user data.

Also, I think for some developers (myself including) could be very difficult to make something like this as we have no experience. While tools may be made, they will likely also take time to make and in the meantime it could confuse many developers that don't have a need (currently) to focus on the legal side of things.

Maybe add fields for the Privacy Policy and ToS text and serve it through Discord?
Maybe.

I'm not a lawyer, but the idea sounds like it requires Discord to legally endorse a bot or the bot's policies, which seems contrary to the ToS:

You shall include in your Applications, website and other relevant locations a disclaimer stating that your Applications, website or any services is or are not endorsed or created by Discord.

It would be pretty useful simply to have a free-text "about this bot" field in the bot settings page, and an UI that allows end users to access that text in a common way -- e.g. from the bot's profile popup.

Dedicating it specifically to ToS and privacy policy is probably best avoided -- it seems to imply a small can of worms, as Sinister points out. However, just having a standard place to look for usage instructions for a bot would be a UX improvement. If we imagine a size limit of 200...

However, I think that for an app that both ask some users to authenticate with Oauth2 and has a bot present in a guild, a user wondering "what is this app I authorized for my account?" will generally need a different kind of answer than the user who wonders "what is this bot I see in the user list in th...

i'm not familiar with the library you're using, but typically a 401 error means you're not sending an authentication header.
if you're authenticated to the websocket (if that's what you mean by the bot listener), that won't help in sending messages as they are sent separately - through the HTTP API. you need to include an authentication header into your http request

either way, why not just use a webhook if you need to send automated messages to a channel?

Personally I'd be fine keeping channels cached as there are significantly fewer of them than members.
I'm mostly trying to avoid sending off a maximum of 100 requests for roles whenever someone looks at my dashboard.

At this point, it would be also be helpful to just have a boolean specifying if my bot is also in the server so I don't have to iterate through them all to find matches, which might be possible given I've heard mutual servers with bots might be coming on the user side.

Around #1307, there was a compatibility change made that can propagate USER_UPDATE events into GUILD_MEMBER_UPDATE events.

If an action that triggers a USER_UPDATE occurs before guild streaming, USER_UPDATE appears to always be held until after it finishes. However, the propagated GUILD_MEMBER_UPDATE event can be received before any GUILD_CREATE, meaning guild_id will be unknown to the client.

Should dispatch of this event, if possible, be held until the client has had...

This is a very very nice feature. Maybe it could even be optional? This would give much much more sense of security to larger bots, and "dont leak your token" isn't a very valid argument, considering, you could say the same about 2FA. "Just dont leak your password and email", but we still all use 2FA, as it's a good practice to keep us secure.

@VictorienXP the function HTTP() from Garry's Mod does support cookies. It just does not support multiple cookies set by the server during the same call because the response headers are contained in a key-value table (aka. hashtable / dictionary), so only 1 Set-Cookie header remains.

My current suggestions are, if more that 1 cookie is set in the response:

Doing this with chunking is not a pleasant experience since you need to filter by name and discriminator on top of having to wait for the gateway response. It would be amazing if we could retrieve users by the discord tag directly, similar to how we can retrieve them by idโ€”the same for getting members.

This would be extremely useful for many bots that accept discord tags as input. Currently, you have to use chunking queries and filter them.

This 1006 issue is already fixed pending deploy (dyno escalated to us a couple weeks back), and is a gateway crash caused by a bug in our code.

The underlining reason this crash is triggered is because eris is heartbeating before RESUME succeeds. This shouldn't be an issue because of how we documented heartbeating, but the server will mark your session invalid in that situation. Another change pending deploy will ignore heartbeats send to your session during a RESUME.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1612: \[Feature Request\] Endpoint for mutual servers with a user

For my dashboard, I need to show a list of servers the user has permissions to manage, to the channel level. At the moment, I cache guilds, channels and members and create a subset of guilds/channels the user is allowed to manage.

In terms of outside the website, I use the mutual servers to work out emotes are in the servers a user shares with the bot to present them in a default interface without the user needing to interact with the bot.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1612: \[Feature Request\] Endpoint for mutual servers with a user

I would assume something like Taarek's usecase would be that in their dashboard, for example a configuration screen, it would be able to show all guilds that the user can configure and that they share with the bot. That way, you don't have to iterate through any shards (which can be problematic if some are offline) or requiring the user to authorize via OAuth2 the guilds scope. Such a dashboard does not require all the guilds a user is present in

Title says it all. According to the docs

the guild_id field is optional. We cannot run bulk deletes in DM
channels, so when can guild_id not be returned? Or do the docs just need an

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1624: \[Feature Request\] Get a specific member's presence without the intent

As far as I'm aware, the reason this is locked behind a whitelisted intent in the first place is so that it's much harder to harvest presence data without Discord knowing. Even if there was a very high ratelimit, as in something like 1 request/60s or something of the nature, I don't know that Discord would want to allow it anyways since that would still allow harvesting, even if slowly.

It's not necessarily just a question of privacy. Recall that the original reason to restrict presence intents was technical, namely a want to avoid the bandwidth/processing costs of distributing updates to large bots.

It's easy to imagine that as a matter of systems architecture, data about presences simply might not exist in a location where the servers that answer REST requests can get at them. There's a lot of churn in these data (e.g. every time someone foregrounds or backgrounds D...

The user-agent is supposed to show what application is requesting the page. It has nothing to do with whether or not it is "acting in response to a user". The current user-agent does NOT accurately represent the application making the request as I highly doubt your servers are running MacOS.

@ziad8727 I think you're misunderstanding. I was trying to say that an endpoint to get one user's presence would sort of defeat the purpose of GUILD_PRESENCES being behind a whitelist, as while you can no longer get all presences in one call, you would still be able to eventually harvest enough presence data (even at a slower speed) to be a problem.

This has very little to do with the member list. If Discord wanted to restrict the member list with that intent, they would have done so. My...

A) this is the discord api and only for reporting bugs with the api, not for help with making a bot or using the discord api.

B) since youโ€™re using a cloud function and only seem to be sending messages, why do you even need to maintain a short-lived websocket connection? You could pretty much just make a request to the rest api and check the response. I donโ€™t see why you would need to identify with the gateway.

I dont see why this is closed before any clarification can be given on the issue... seems a little counter intuitive.

I am a bit lost since you just said in my other issue to expect it to always redirect to here, so it feels like catch 22 if we are not meant to use the URL your web service is redirecting us to?

What relevance does this have to the fact an invalid redirect URL triggers this? Isn't this just hiding the problem?
