[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on pull request #1649: Add Discordeno to library list

I do agree with you guys that specifying runtime, may not be necessary but I feel it would be inaccurate to label this as a JS lib. Although people can confuse it at times because TS is built on top of JS, TS is its own language, that transpiles to JS which could one day transpile to WASM or anything else. To a TS developer, a project that's built with TS is very different to a project built in JS with typings.

Having typings is not the same as properly supporting TS as a library built wi...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on pull request #1681: Set header examples to lowercase for accuracy

Http headers are case insensitive. Doesn't really matter what case we decide to in the docs - the choice is to make them camel cased to show each word (this is technically what we emit in our code - but there is varying levels of proxying that down-cases headers. Either way, basically every http client implementation treats them as case insensitive. Which means it's really irrelevant which casing they have in the docs. For now, we will keep them as they are.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on pull request #1674: Documenting what supports X\-Audit\-Log\-Reason

I'm not entirely sure this is necessary. All endpoints which result in an audit log entry support the header

@jhgg

It is generally useful to have the information about the headers and body needed in the place that describes that endpoint... otherwise you have to jump between several places just to find out the functionality of an endpoint. As a developer, that is confusing and consumes more time, especially if you are only just starting with using this API rather than already knowing ...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on pull request #1674: Documenting what supports X\-Audit\-Log\-Reason

Idea: A more future-proof solution instead of adding a message box to every endpoint would be adding icon tags next to endpoints that describe specific features. So the endpoints that support X-Audit-Log-Reason would get a little icon next to them which on hover shows that this header is supported and on click takes the user to a more detailed description about the header. It would also allow an endpoint to be tagged with multiple icons at the same time, in case new features arrive in the fut...

There's been similar feature requests for labeling which endpoints are used by oauth2/bots. While it would be cool, I don't see Discord spending time building that feature out anytime soon.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on pull request #1674: Documenting what supports X\-Audit\-Log\-Reason

Rather than an infobox after the description, might I suggest simply adding "Creates an audit log entry" to the descriptions? Many endpoints that fire off a gateway event will describe that within their description, i.e. "Fires a Channel Update gateway event". Perhaps we could do the same for audit logs, i.e. "Fires a Channel Update gateway event, and creates an audit log entry" (or simply "Creates an audit log entry" where the endpoint does not fire off a gateway event).

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on pull request #1674: Documenting what supports X\-Audit\-Log\-Reason

Just because something makes an audit log entry, doesn't mean you can specify this header unfortunately.

EMOJI DELETE didnt pay attention to the audit log header when I tried it a few days ago, despite being audit loggable.

While that is likely a bug, it would rely on the devs actively addressing every case that this occurs in (not sure if others exist), for this to be useful.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1607: Implement method for easy chunking of users/members

In the current state of the API you have to chunk every single guild if you don't have the GUILD_PRESENCES intent set because it doesn't send the entire member list, regardless of the size of the guild. Even if the guild only has 10 members you have to chunk them which becomes a painful process when you are limited to a 120/60 rate limit. As far as I know the vast majority of guilds have less than 100 members, yet the same limits apply.

Privacy concerns make sense but some bots do require ...

please familiarise yourself with how HTTP functions and how to work with an HTTP API before attempting to do this; Discord's API isn't the best place to start if you haven't used a RESTful web API before. If you are using a library to interact with the Discord API rather than making RESTful web requests directly, please consult the documentation for that library and/or chat with the maintainers of said library for advice on how to tackle this :)

I can agree to what MinnDevelopment said.

My bot is in almost 14k Discord server now and chunking Members without access to the GUILD_PRESENCES intent is a near-impossible thing to do as the bot more than once hits the rate limit, causing delays and artificially increase the loading time of what was more or less 40+ seconds to well over 1 minute if not even 2 or more.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1530: \[Suggestion\] Start indiciating which endpoints/features are usable by bots

Yeah, mostly.

Some specific features within the documentation require elevated OAuth2 scopes that usually aren't asked for when inviting a bot (And often also require separate handling by the bot itself)

And I'm also pretty sure that most of the things listed under "Game and Server Management", "Rich Presence", "Game SDK" and "Dispatch" aren't meant for bots so the excuse of "If it's documented, then it's available for bots" doesn't really work here.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1530: \[Suggestion\] Start indiciating which endpoints/features are usable by bots

By being used by bots, I think they meant just "programmatic access for developers"
This excludes user client only endpoints but includes these things and tools.
Although I'm not 100% sure about the whole "Game and Server Management" thing on this.. the documentation is also for game developers and it wouldn't really be bad if that stuff was in the docs imo

for user info, you should just fetch that specific member if they arent cached from a previous event

I would like to quote myself:

[...] some bots do require the members to be present in cache, for example to track changes of nicknames or roles. The API is built in a way that only tells you that an entity is updated, but doesn't tell you what has been updated.

On another note:

for anything triggered by a message, the member object is sent in the event

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1607: Implement method for easy chunking of users/members

I personally just find it odd that the members aren't sent in GUILD_CREATE with the GUILD_MEMBERS intent. It's unintuitive to say the least, but I understand that I don't know the infrastructural / business logic reasons for it. If the bot is verified for the GUILD_MEMBERS intent, it would be implied that it's use-case is approved for knowing of (all) members in a guild and hence a candidate for the field in the GUILD_CREATE event.

@mdashlw the documentation suggests the use of /api/v6/gateway, not /api/gateway. That isn't documented anywhere on the link you provided or inferred as being documented from the REST versioning scheme.

discord.py appears to use this as well.

Discord.py does a lot of things that are undocumented, whether all libraries should follow is still questionable, especially since anything undocumented can potentially be changed and break the entire application without notice.

@jhgg Could you please elaborate on why? I am really curious why this part is not moderated. I don't believe any of the three provided solutions are good.

Kicking the user for playing another game is not a good solution. Just because a user plays another game does not mean they are not a good/active/healthy user of this server. They should not be kicked because they played another game.

Asking a user to remove a status isn't really a valid solution either imo. What's the point of any mo...

My question is, why is it such a big deal that someone can't be shown playing another game? Why are we considering one game to be a competitor to another? I thought games were supposed to be fun, something to enjoy and share with others, not something that you're supposed to compare to one another like you would with sports teams.

And anyways, if you're concerned about games being "advertised" on the server, wouldn't you be better off moderating the text/voice chat, and weeding out adverti...

What a needless conversation to have. The cost it would take Discord to make this 'feature' is way more than it will ever be worth to anyone. If a server has enough members for you to have to scroll down to read them all, 99% of your users will never have their status read. It's silly to even ask for this. People play games, let them play in peace. If someone's on the server enough to even see that someone's playing a specific game a lot, they're already engaged with your content enough that ...

Server owners, including the official Discord Developers server, have rules that disallow certain user names and if a user name violates such rule, the moderation will force change their user name.

If that's possible, force changing / removing a custom status should also be possible for moderation purposes. I don't want to have people in my server who use their custom status to harass people, for example.

The session_id in the voice state is always identical to the session_id you receive with the READY event.
That is good to know.

The docs say we are supposed to wait for both events before attempting to connect. If I use the session_id from the ready event, is it safe to connect to the voice gateway after only receiving Voice Server Update since I will not receive the Voice State Update.

my bot removes their reaction from that message and then processes whatever it needs to, so that only one reaction (the bot's) is on that message at any given time.

can you provide the exact API calls you perform for this operation? we have a service we recently deployed which optimizes message + reaction loads, which could be related. it's possible the act of deleting reactions somehow causes some sort of data race

you aren't removing the original reactions. just the ones that are added by users after the initial reactions

That is correct - the initial reactions from the bot are always present on the message.

When did this start happening?

The earliest date I've had reported to me is on May 26th, though that's just the earliest reported time for a relatively small bot of mine. I'd guess that the earliest time of this happening is the 24th, though my earliest confirmed time is the 26th.

For the Modify Channel params table, it seems inconsistent to list all guild channel types for nsfw but only list voice for bitrate; iirc bitrate can be technically set for all channel types but they only affect voice channels, and nsfw can also technically be set for all channel types but only affect text and news channels. It would probably be better to only list the channel types which the param actually has an effect on.

I'm trying to add a bot integration that will allow me to remove users by email addresses, but as far as I can tell, the bot API doesn't provide a way to do this.

E.g. getting the list of members for a guild doesn't include email in the response, so I can't enumerate guild members to map an email address to user ID.

An alternative would simply be an API call to remove a guild user using the email address instead of user ID, so that I don't need to enumerate all guild members.

The first issue, which leads into the second issue, will be fixed in the next API deploy. In the meantime, you should be able to have your bot unreact or re-react the paintbrush as a fix.

Currently, if you use the guild members intent, but not the guild presences intent, you will not be sent the guild members when connecting to the gateway. This is an annoying feature, as for many, having all of the members in cache can be important, and to do so, you are required to fetch the members of every guild. This is a lot of calls to the gateway however, and slows down the start up of the bot by quite a long time.

Another issue to be pointed out, is that some may want the ability t...

Hello @night , I'm encountering this problem too with certain user accounts.

As the title suggests, it would be best to add an bulk-add reactions endpoint this would be better than the current system for bots.. to have rich help menus and not have the end-user wait for all of the reactions to get to the message. (sounds like a per-developer problem right?, well no) This would free up the rate limits for add-reactions and make less requests to Discord to add reactions to a message.

Yes, we should probably document PKCE since we support PKCE and it's generally more secure for browser-only and native applications. But, I do disagree that implicit auth is insecure so long as you're operating over TLS with a properly configured client. Their primary concerns against implicit auth are mostly misconfiguration leading to:

  • Client binding to requests
  • Leak of access token through improper redirects/referrers

The example there was somewhat trivial, but there are other examples that would not be.

@almostSouji What I meant was only some advice - in order for channel positions to sort as you proabably expect, you need to use the bulk-set endpoint and set them all with sequential positions, as that is the easiest approach guaranteed to work as expected, without attempting to compute some "partial" sorting. You can of course set them to such arbitrary sequences, and can expect to see them as such in the wild.

Returns an object with a single valid WSS URL, which the client can use for Connecting. Clients should cache this value and only call this endpoint to retrieve a new URL if they are unable to properly establish a connection using the cached version of the URL.

Check for a new URL if your cached URL does not work.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1769: Add maintenance/outage indicators for bots

Personally, I wouldn't be a fan of seeing "Maintenance" or "Outage" tags like those in your art, not to mention they'd sort of be pointless, given if your bot is offline, your users likely won't see it anyway. I feel there are better ways of communicating maintenance and outages to your end users (i.e. server announcements, news channel, website, bot status). Once bots are able to set a custom status (which is in the queue according to #1160), that would be a great way for bots to communicate...

custom status isn't shown when the user is offline though

True, you couldn't communicate an outage that way (there are other (and better, in my opinion) ways to do that), but you could communicate planned maintenance or information about an outage that took place.

If your bot is offline, that in itself communicates an outage. There's not really a nice way to communicate why the outage has taken place in the client when the bot is offline. I also don't think a tag is going to reduce co...

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #1802 Should there be a limit of reconnections to the gateway

The reason for this is to prevent clients from sending multiple identification requests to Discord, which could hit the daily limit. It is also clearer when the promise for the connect method rejects (instead of hitting the gateway indefinitely).

Or, is it safe to trust Discord not to send multiple reconnect events as well as acknowledging heartbeats properly? I'm not questioning the API, I know it's awesome, I'm just not certain about how other people go about it.

I think there are a few points you need to consider:

  • You should have a backoff on identifies that is ignorant to where the identify is coming from, whether it is in response to a reconnect or a clean session, or otherwise. Every identify originating from your application on the same token should wait 5 seconds after receiving READY (unless you have a large bot with a special concurrency value).

  • You should attempt to resume a session whenever possible (see the docs about this). Resum...

Hi.

I have just been made aware of the upcoming age requirement to utilize your API.

I understand if you’re under 18 you can just get a parent to agree to the API TOS on your behalf, though such case is not simple.

For those who cannot get their parents or guardian to do such thing for them, you ruined their hobbies. Even for the ones who worked hard and spent time working on their bots to get verified, you made it useless. You wasted their time. You ruined their hobbies. You wasted ...

NOTE im not a lawyer. I am just expressing my opinion in this post.

There are plenty of legal reasons why you need to be of a certain age to use the service. The main reasoning I can think on the top of my head is legal accountability. As someone with access to the API, you are dealing with user data which is heavily protected under certain laws in Europe, and many other countries have other similar laws.

If you were to do something illegal or negligent with the data, Discord ...

It is worth noting that, according to current and previous Discord general ToS, (quote) if you are between 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent, as applicable) and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, that your legal guardian has reviewed and agrees to these Terms.

I'm not entirely sure if this is possible, but it could be handy to delete the role first, and then remove it from the members afterwards. If possible, this could be used to prevent logging bots sending many messages along the lines of "Deleted role was removed from x". Currently the only method is to delay the log for a few seconds and see if the role has been deleted then - but the for large servers this clearly doesn't work because of the big delay.

That would cause certain problems in both Discord's side (event retention and delays, which increases memory usage) and clients (specially moderation bots) as they'll remove a role they cannot reference and will have no idea what role was deleted, requiring them to cache a deleted entry in memory temporarily and "watch for members to change", which is more troublesome than the current system.

The only thing I'd add to this is that Discord sharding allows you to do 0 downtime updates. So if your lib supports this you can basically deploy your entire bot update without rebooting at all.

You can establish multiple sessions with the same [shard_id, num_shards], or sessions with different num_shards values. This allows you to create sessions that will handle more or less traffic than others for more fine-tuned load balancing, or orchestrate "zero-downtime" scaling/updating by h...

This is really needed. Especially now with all servers exposed and forced to have the feature. A server pruning 20k members would tax the bot let alone if its a lot more (which has been the case for me).
A Guild Members Prune event would be ideal and it would be less taxing for both Discord and the bots. No need to even send the Guild Member Remove events regarding these pruned members.

For the REST API rate limits, see https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits. There are headers returned in the response that indicates how many requests are left and after which time they reset.

If you update the channel name or topic too often at a certain time you may encounter a 429s:
