[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1831: Token Change

Tokens have a time based component when being generated. Them constantly changing is normal, and you can use everyone of those. Not until you press regenerate does it invalidate previous tokens.

As for "i cant", that's very vague and not descriptive at all. I suggest asking for help by the people who develop the library you are using.

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #1834 \_\_new\_\_\(\): deny\_new exception/bot token being updated upon "checking new token"

So I awoke to this issue being called on me. The only info it gives me is that the token is 'wrong' or something else in the code for my token is an issue. I've tried to reset my token, but I've noticed that every time I refresh the page and copy the token through the provided button to copy the token with, it gives me a new one. I don't know if this is a thing about discord's website whenever you refresh the bot page, but it's giving me some hassle, and I can't figure out how to fix this iss...

I have been using Discord for quite some time, as it's the best program to speak with your devs, but I've been trying to either assign work or just make sure everyone has something to do by seeing who's Idle, kind of code for: looking for assignments, so if I could ping @idle or @online instead of just @here, it'd make it a lot easier, other uses for this would be stuff like:

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1821: Bug: Inconsistent link embed behaviour with webhooks

I can reproduce it in 2 ways:

  1. Send a webhook payload and add ?wait=true. The embed will show up then disappear after a fraction of a second.
  2. Send a webhook payload with an avatar URL that, while being a valid URL, does not lead to an image. The link will not embed.

Again, both of these only happen occasionally. I can provide a channel where this happens more consistently, if that is helpful.

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

I would too like to see this feature, but not in an implementation listed here.

I would like to see bots able to set additional statuses (maybe an exclamation point for outage, a clock for maintenance) that could also be manually set from the dev portal. Bot owners could also set extended description text that could show in the profile modal, similar to statuses, that could warn of possible downtime or give status updates on outages.

[discord/discord-api-docs] Pull request opened: #1843 Update documentation about new permission fields for API v6\.

Summary

I'm not 100% sold on the tone of voice I used for this. In some ways, English is harder to write than code for me... Basically the documented changes are:

permissions_new, deny_new, and allow_new are now fields. We incentivize people to read off those if they want new permissions. However there aren't any new permissions right now, so they don't have to switch (but I didn't mention this). Old fields only get 31 bits.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on pull request #1843: Update documentation about new permission fields for API v6\.

@MinnDevelopment that's a decent question.. the technical reason is due to where versioning is performed and how it is performed. gateway is what you're talking to when receiving erlpack, and at that point in time it's already a string so you receive it as binary. this is a divergence from snowflakes over erlpack, since we let the json libraries handle that string conversion for us at the edge. we didn't want to support int|str datatype for permissions, so here we are. it's worth noting we ...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on pull request #1843: Update documentation about new permission fields for API v6\.

@MinnDevelopment it isn't possible currently (for the same reason, since versioning and the computed values are upstream from gateway). you should consider the data types between json and erlpack as 1 in the same here. the only reason snowflakes diverge is due to us deferring 64bit ints to the json serializer and relying on the fact that all snowflakes are 64bit ints.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on pull request #1843: Update documentation about new permission fields for API v6\.

I mean that the payloads are unnecessarily larger, and there's more overhead in deserialization by using a string instead of an arbitrary sized integer. The JSON specification does not place a concrete upper limit on the size of integers and only suggests to either keep it within 53 bits of precision (for maximum compatibility) or to ensure that consumers are aware and capable of the precision. As this won't be changing until the next version, it seems that simply documenting the precision su...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on pull request #1843: Update documentation about new permission fields for API v6\.

While they are larger payloads, they are more efficient than losing native JSON deserialization on our clients. Native JSON deserialization is a lot faster than libraries you might import. In fact, the JSON parser is faster in some instances then creating their actual objects using JS literals: https://v8.dev/blog/cost-of-javascript-2019#json

Regardless of the reasons why we chose this approach for v6 instead of making a breaking change, it will be a string in the next API version anyways ...

While that appears to be true for javascript, it's not the case for many other languages. I understand that the client uses javascript, so I'm fine conceding that. However, for those wanting to maintain performance, the combination of that and (below quote) is concerning.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on pull request #1843: Update documentation about new permission fields for API v6\.

Are there plans to use an alternative compact general representation such as msgpack, or non-general in the case of a protocol buffer if or when this happens? It seems like since one of the recent goals as been improving performance, adding uncertainty around continuing to use ETF does a disservice to that goal if there won't be a replacement.

I can't speak for ETF plans at this time, but we care very much about the performance characteristics of changes we make to our infrastructure.

It was not my intention to imply that you didn't, just that with a new gateway version "around the corner" and public statements indicating ETF support might be dropped, you're putting people in a position where they may decide it's better to just take the performance hit of JSON (which is notoriously bad as a format for serialized data) to avoid...

Whitelisting the media proxy will be almost impossible. iirc, it uses the user-agent of the requesting client (like... a proxy would do) which can be literally anything. The media proxy is hosted on GCP and uses a dynamic IP.

It seems like organisation-wide webhooks for GitHub are correctly deployed to Discord, but only the repository events are actually executed. The organisation related events (ie. membership) seem to be silently dropped, seemingly because it is not supported/formatted by Discord yet. Therefore, I request proper support for organisation-wide webhook messages.

Basically, something is wrong and makes it keep constantly restarting. It's either an issue with the code or an issue with the hosting. Unfortunately we can't really help diagnose it more than that.
Generally, instead of self-hosting a public open-source bot, it's better to add the official instance of the bot, and/or make your own bot from scratch.

Alright, thank you. Is there anything you suggest that I could do to try and figure out the issue?

No such limitation exists on our end which would cause a bot to go down for 3-7 days if they hit a message/send rate limit. I'm not sure what the issue is here, but based upon that, I don't think it's an issue with Discord, but perhaps the code of the bot.

Good luck figuring it out. If you do have more concrete logs though that demonstrate that discord is telling you to retry after 3+ days, please open a new issue, complete with debug logs and timestamps.

We needs a read-DMs-only can't-even-read-channels no-bot-tag-indistinguishable-from-an-ordinary-user extra-verification-required API for creating honey pot bots to catch spammers quickly and efficiently.

Need an amount of these kinds of bots proportional to the number of users in a discord server; they need to not count toward the true pop-count of the server, they need to be distinguishable (and maybe by default hidden) from real users by users with some non-default-role flag.

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #1905 Creating DMs with users who have blocked the bot or have DMs off returns a 400 BAD REQUEST instead of the original 403 FORBIDDEN

Originally, when you use the create dm endpoint (POST /users/@me/channels) with a user you cannot DM, it returns a 403 Forbidden. Now, it returns a 400 bad request. Is this behavior expected indefinably, or is this just a bug? This happens on api v6, which also breaks how my bot works as I expect a 403 with code 50007. For this endpoint, the 400 status code gets handled as an internal error in my bot. If this is permanent, can I just expect it to always return a 400 for users you can't DM?

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2045: confusing api status

those are distinct topics all covered in the docs

api refers to just interacting with the api with a bot token, this is what bots do so can be used pretty interchangeably with "chatbot" (tough note getting events like messages goes over the gateway websocket connection, this is not required to use the REST api, some routes also requiring having connected once)

gamesdk is for integrating your games with discord, you can do things like rich presence, making lobbies and more with them.

Hi
I learning Discord Game SDK, and I added it for my test project (c++). SDK work beautiful, but I noticed that it crashed (process finished with exit code 1) if Discord not launched. How I can catch it? It crashing in file "core.cpp" on line:
auto result = DiscordCreate(DISCORD_VERSION, &params, &((*instance)->internal_));

How should I handle this event correctly without crash?

Important note on adding roles: the @everyone role now serves as the basic template for all added roles. Want anyone in your server to add channels as they want? Assigning "Manage Channels" to @everyone will automatically grant that permission to all other roles created. Any role assigned to @everyone will be universal, regardless of assignment in higher roles.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2039: @everyone permissions not working correctly

Discord only has a concept of denying permissions in channel/category overwrites (when you set to ❌); in server-wide role permissions, each permissions only has a switch for on or off, and if any of a user's roles has the permission set to on, then they have that permission.

In channel overwrites, anything set to ✔ overrides everything else; you should only use that if needed, and leave everything as / by default.

Also, any future changes done to permissions would need to be fully b...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2035: Add guild\_id to HTTP message objects

I overlooked a solution to this issue. You can maintain a mapping of known channel IDs to guild IDs. If an unknown channel ID is encountered, you can request the channel object once to get the guild ID and store the association. Future encounters could skip the request and use the cached association, and the entire channel does not have to be cached, if that's your goal. Maybe not ideal, but it's a decent compromise.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1161: support bots to use crosspost endpoint

This would be great for two reasons in my case.

  1. We have a news channel that posts notifications of changelogs for a game, they are already hand edited and repaired… for the news to be useful it needs to be fresh. Any delays devalue the news.
  2. Timed announcements, sometimes it's useful to be able to have a post go out at a certain time.

Kinda feels like it defeats the purpose tbh. I think the philosophy here is a bit backwards.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2064: Sending multiple attachments is documented misleadingly

The documentation is accurate. You can specify form fields as multipart form data too, but nested data structures like embeds are unsupported without using payload_json. While you can technically use any key as a file due to how werkzeug handles multipart files, only 1 file (at key file) is supported officially. Any usage not documented unsupported and could break in the future.

MinnDevelopment
[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #2066 \[Feature Request\] Officially Support sending multiple files

You can use attachments for images in embeds. Since you can set multiple images in an embed, it would make sense to also support sending multiple attachments officially. This is currently possible already, but not officially supported.

In the same breath, it could also be officially supported to set multiple images in one embed like used in twitter embeds. This also already possible but not officially supported.

Requiring OAuth2 code grant just requires the bot to use the full grant mode, but you are always optionally able to use the full grant even if it's not required. The only difference is that adding a bot with full grant required moves the bot joining until after token grant. Without it being required, we do not have guild information to provide you in the token response as it happened before token grant.

How are we able to use the guild id in the query string in a secure way, as our backend has no way of knowing if a request with that guild id is authorised to retrieve full information on that guild?

Currently, it seems that parameter is all but useless as there's no secure way to cross check on a backend that a browser/user was indeed the one to add a bot to a guild.

The integer error suggested by OP makes sense here.

When using the channels parameter, the id field within each channel object may be set to an integer placeholder, and will be replaced by the API upon consumption. (from the guild create endpoint docs)

Since this is a new guild creation, the only way for there to be a channel ID is through adding it to the channels array with an integer placeholder. This would mean it is not a snowflake.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2092: Returning members instead of a simple count \(prune\)

Sending a message to each member that will get pruned with a permanent invite link to the server, so when they'll return from their inactive period, they can re join the server

This would be nicely solved if Discord had support for kick/ban messages. This is an old and popular feature request, but we don't have it yet.

@rxdn Yep. This specifically won't crash my bot. But i know a lot of devs who start coding their bots with about 1GB of ram on their vps as thats the cheapest model. Then it comes down to a matter of whether someone wants to abuse this. 2k role guild isn't bad but the problem is this is an uncontrolled ability to create roles. Eventually, your gonna have so many roles eating up memory. Thankfully this is not a huge issue as roles are relatively very small amount of memory. However, i still be...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2091: Bug In Guild Role Creation \(Bot Roles\)

The problem is not having more than 250 bots. The problem is roles. You can invite bots without custom roles for them.

This isn't about managing memory or LRU cache. A complex attempt/solution to fixing something that Discord has a set limit of 250 for is silly. The fact is there is a bug that is allowing the documented limit of 250 max roles to be broken. This needs fixing.

Doesn't change the fact that the root of the issue is bot farms, not that integrations can cause >250 roles...

According to #1528 and #1990, there may soon be a limit to the number of integrations/bots.

If caching every role is problematic, then just don't do it, and make a request for the roles when you need them. I have a request open for fetching one role at #1997 which might be helpful. Or if it's your library you're concerned about, maybe set a default limit to 250 and provide an option for users to change that.

I think you guys are missing the issue. A limit of bots on a server wont solve this. Even if there was a limit of 50 bots. You could create 250 roles and add 50 bots roles which make it bugged again.

Either the documentation is wrong and needs to be adjusted saying that there can be unlimited amount of roles in a server. Or this needs to be fixed preventing this bug of having >250 roles in a server. Moving the problem of eating up cache to eating up rate limits from fetching roles when nee...

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #2093 Allow bot owners to bypass captcha on inviting a bot

Description

The owners of a bot, and the owner of the team (possibly team members as well) should be able to add bots they own to servers they're in without having to enter a captcha to complete the oauth process.

Why This is Needed

When testing events such as on join/kick/ban, or joining a new server, it is often required to repeatedly invite a bot to a server to test code functionality. Often this happens very often in a short period of time. As an anecdote, I've cr...

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #2095 Increase the channel webhook limit, or make a seperate limit for following webhooks

Description
Increase the per-channel webhook limit of 10, or make separate limits for Incoming and Channel Following webhooks.

Why This is Needed
In the past, the 10 webhook limit was sufficient. However, with Channel Following which uses a unique webhook for every followed channel, 10 is often not enough. Channels often follow many announcement channels, and it can impact bots' ability to use webhooks in them.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New review comment on pull request #2097: \[WIP\] API and Gateway v8

I know this is outside the scope of this PR, but I may as well ask here while on the topic of documenting new functionality.

Are there any plans to look into the voice API any time soon as part of these changes?

Namely details like how no port is documented to be sent on the endpoint but you still send us port 80 in the URI (even though we have to actually use port 443); how to receive audio (you say that we can receive audio but not how to do that), etc? Or is it better to just not use...

could we possibly document the payloads you receive as part of a channel as examples per channel rather than a single thing?

Each type of channel has a different shape, and it would be nicer to be able to just know what you define as being expected on each type of channel rather than having to trial-and-error to work this out, especially if you are a library dev, as this affects the shape of the models you make.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New review comment on pull request #2097: \[WIP\] API and Gateway v8

While some JSON parsers themselves might be able to automatically detect the numeric type, it is still incredibly helpful for library/bot devs to know which fields are integers and which are floats without having to manually inspect every possible response body. This is especially important for more strictly typed languages. The JSON parser is only a small part of the entire library/bot.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New review comment on pull request #2097: \[WIP\] API and Gateway v8

I guess my point was worded poorly; my mistake.

I was more getting at the point that perhaps this should just be documented as being a numeric value with a fractional part, not an or. Especially in static typed languages where integral types are treated as primitives, it probably is a bit silly to suggest that you have to implement a case that handles an integer type in this field and a case that handles a floating point type in this field. Especially when 1.0 would have the same meani...

I think you can safely imply millisecond precision is what the precision is in the response if it is a fractional value, unless you have access to a network that has latency of less than 1 millisecond to Discord.

Even in that case, rounding up to 1ms on a rate limit shouldn't harm you, unless you are excessively spamming the API to the point that this becomes an issue for you (which would possibly question what you are trying to do to it in the first place).

^^ v7 too.

Technically v7 isn't released as they have said. The whole point of it was for it to be a development preview, so I don't know if there is any expectation that they will provide a deprecation period for undocumented behavior.

They'll probably do what they do with v6, but there isn't technically any reason to be using v7 other than for testing (so not in a production environment). I think there is just the unfortunate issue that a number of libraries made the choice to use t...

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #2101 Unexpected behaviour from setting custom status with a bot

Description

This is not a request to add custom status for bots.

Bots are capable of setting a custom status in their presence -- both via IDENTIFY and STATUS_UPDATE -- but this is not reflected in the client, nor is a PRESENCE_UPDATE event emitted. However, requesting guild members + presences with OP 8 (request guild members) will show that the custom status has actually been set. As would be expected, this is not persisted across sessions.

Steps to Reproduce

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #2101: Unexpected behaviour from setting custom status with a bot

all activity types are intentionally allowed, it does show in the client: in the full profile, it has the CUSTOM STATUS header. it just doesn't show any useful information because neither state nor emoji is sent (because bots can't send them). sending this "empty" custom status was also possible via the client yesterday due to the API not supporting new emoji.

the only reason bots can't set custom status is that they can currently only send name, type, and url, which cannot make ...

This PR changes many instances of the word "whitelist" in the documentation with more inclusive words such as allowlist and delimited. There are some instances where "allowlist" seems out of place, but I couldn't quite put my finger on a better replacement - any reviews addressing this would be greatly appreciated.

While I don't personally believe that "white space" correlates directly to how we use "whitespace" today, if we're going to change the word (as it seems is an increasingly popular move), some reasonable discussion is important to have before outright making the change to the first-proposed solution. The conversation in the API server on Discord is pretty intense right now but it seems that the change is something that for-sure will happen — so let's talk about the alternatives that are av...

correlating the the notion or idea of "blank" or "nothingness" — as in a blank sheet of paper. In the same vein of thought, the most reasonable replacement in my opinion would be "blank space."

Of course, please feel free to tack on your opinions, but that's my input. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You are correct. Using inclusive language does not mean that the documentation is less clear, or the writing less helpful. It should not mean that because it does not inherently mean that. That's why making...
