[discord-api-docs] New discussion #3363: Introduce Channel as ApplicationCommandPermissionType

Description

The introduction of Slash Command Permissions #2737 brought user and role based permissions. However, the only way to currently achieve channel-specific granularity is to sacrifice a role to a specific command. This is the only way (I can see) to be able to force a single command, from a single app, to run in a single channel.

You can do this by using a channel override for that role that has use slash commands and adding that role to be the only allowed users of that ...

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #3364 Incorrect minimal length of sticker related emoji

Description

The related emoji field on a sticker seems to require the emoji to be between 2 and 200 characters in length.
However, there's a discord built-in emoji (:v:) whose length is only 1 character. If you pick that emoji as the related emoji, you're going to get an Invalid Form Body error.

Steps to Reproduce

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3345: Allow bots to send up to 4k characters in a message or the description field in embed\.

Curious what your use case is @muddyfish

I definitely could use it because of sending users messages via webhook. I have a resend feature on my swear word blocking bot, that sends a users message again but with all the curses blocked out, 4k messages definitely couldn't do that unless this was applied. And things like tupperbox for example who make fake users, also uses webhooks. Bit complicated.

It would be useful if we could include another option type in Select Menus for the user to write any value.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3351: Allow bots to set bio

Why should banners be linked to verification status?

I imagine that many bots could use this feature to break the terms of service. For example: Nitro Rewards server advertising bots with a super flashy banner with a server advertising or else a bot inviting the user to an NSFW server with a banner with explicit content

Releasing custom banners only for verified bots would better filter out bots that really want to make proper use of the feature.

[discord-api-docs] New discussion #3371: Implement a way for Slash\-Commands only bots to appear online\.

There is the chance that Bots may only use the applications.commands scope in the OAuth Link and perform various stuff through things such as HTTP webhooks or similar.

This has the unwanted downside that the Bot account itself, which is still added to a Server, may appear as offline, causing confusion since why is the bot offline?

There should be a way, like a heartbeat endpoint for slash-commands only, to make the bot account appear active.

When it comes down to slash-commands can we see one particular issue, which is, that you can't be sure if a Bot actually has Slash-commands.

One may argue that you can just type / and see if the bot appears in the suggestions.

Description

Right now, it's unclear which types of messages are affected by rate_limit_per_user and which aren't. This makes it hard to implement bots that enhance or interact with the slow mode feature built into discord. For example, a bot that reminds you when your slow mode timeout is about to expire (for 6hr+ slowmode channels), or a bot that tracks how often moderators use their permission to violate slow mode. However, it's easy to get false positives if you include messag...

this is a regression from (A) which non-slash command bots can already do.

I wouldn't say comparing client UI and sending a message is apples to apples, let alone regression; they're not really comparable.

Furthermore, I can see how in some situations having the inline tooltip seems a bit redundant, but I'd personally favor consistency over UX for some semi-specific scenarios

In private threads, slash commands can be used, but if the bot is not in the thread, it will not be able to read/manage messages.

If the bot has access to the parent channel, it can reply to the interaction and ping itself, adding itself to the thread. However, this is annoying to handle and it would be nicer if Discord did it automatically, treating using a bot's command as mentioning the bot.

[discord-api-docs] Discussion #3396 marked answered: Accept \`nonce\` when executing a webhook

The nonce field is used for optimistic message sending, something that I don't think webhooks even care about. The nonce is not stored anywhere, and is only used to match a MESSAGE_CREATE event with a pending http request. Additionally we also use the nonce to dedupe retried messages within a small time window.

Given this context, I'm not sure why nonce would need to exist on webhooks. The use-case you provide seems to be trivially accomplishable by recording the message id.

If you send a nonce, you can store the nonce before sending it to Discord, thus having an unlimited time between requesting a message send and waiting for a message create. if you rely on the message ID, it is possible that you get the message create before getting the message ID back, which can cause issues if you start waiting for a message with a certain ID after you already received it.

My app id is 858668862941560883 with the public key 2342f7030c9eed7461fbde4e9ed88ad661ef827bb35d35008285046cc6f8f59f. I tried running the bot but had no response at all. So I tried regenerating the token, but that still didn't work. Searching this problem, I...

you leaked your token in that video so reset that asap before someone abuses that

also this is behaving like you are running into the daily login limit (1000 identifies in 24h). enable debug logs to see if that's the case or not, as d.js will refuse to identify to the gateway then (doing so would trigger a token and limit reset).
Check your logs on what caused your bot to reconnect so many times, fix it and then trigger the token reset by disabling this d.js behavior or use another lib th...

Discord should prompt a message to not put out sensitive bio and stuff like that to prevent this in the first place however there are many reasons discord does or doesn't do stuff so I'll respect their decisions.

Currently there is no way to reply to a button click without transforming the button style for everyone, or to reply with a new message to the interacting user. Often a new message is not necessary though, take for example reaction roles. After the button is clicked, the roles are given. There is no need to send a success message.

My bot caches a full list of webhooks in a guild, because it needs to use webhook specific features (custom username/avatar, emojis from servers bot isn't in).

My current solution is to download a full list when I don't have any, and then use that until one of my webhooks has moved or gets deleted, and then downloading the list again. This generally means you don't need continuous updates, except for the case when a user moves a webhook and you can't know where it is until you post a messa...

The nonce field is used for optimistic message sending, something that I don't think webhooks even care about.

Additionally we also use the nonce to dedupe retried messages within a small time window.

Given this context, I'm not sure why nonce would need to exist on webhooks. The use-case you provide seems to be trivially accomplishable by recording the message id.

[discord-api-docs] New discussion #3447: GraphQL API\!

GraphQL!

A lot of companies are switching from using REST APIs to using graphql and I think it's time for Discord to switch too. I see a lot of pros of using graphql. Maybe this could be released in API version 10 or something like that. Some pros of using graphql:

  • Save bandwidth by only requesting data that is needed
  • Run multiple queries or mutations in one request
  • and many more!

I don't know why Discord isn't already using GraphQL like [some other companies](https://docs.g...

While cool, I think the chances of this happening are pretty much zero. GraphQL would take a lot of work from the entire company to ship, from infra to developers working on well-known GraphQL gotchas like caching and loading strategies. It's really hard to justify that investment, and would delay us from shipping other cool features for you all instead!

Description:

The oauth scope, applications.commands.update was moved to a client credentials only scope as seen in issue #2443. However, a better alternative would be to add it back as a regular oauth scoped and make it more descriptive during the authorization flow since there are genuine use cases for it.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3451: When will Slash Commands be enabled by default for everyone?

The unfortunate part of this is that the toggle is all-or-nothing. I don't want the markdown preview, but I can't have slash commands without it, so I've opted to keep it off unless I specifically want to use a slash command.

There was some discussion over at https://github.com/discord/discord-api-docs/issues/2368 about letting individual features of the new text box be disabled, but that discussion died quickly -- and in any case, I wouldn't expect Discord to find it worth the effort.

[discord/discord-api-docs] Pull request opened: #3466 Clarify Ephemeral Usage With Followups

This PR should help eliminate a small amount of confusion when trying to use ephemerals, followups, and ACK.

The first followup response after you defer(ACK), has a few special rules to be aware of. The flags property of 64 can not be changed. If you ACK with a flag of 64 then your response will also be ephemeral. If you defer, without a flags property of 64 you can not then respond with a ephemeral response.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3462: Allow buttons to work in published messages

The problem is that it might be possible that the bot you expect to respond to the reaction will be there in the other server. So this will become a problem, and those webhooks are type 2 (Channel Follower) which have no link to an application by any means (as per my theory). So it would be pointless for them to be able to create message components which have no endpoint to send the interaction to.

To be fair, I upvoted this suggestion for two use cases. One is auto moderation that has some sort of response. Typically these responses are automatically deleted by the bot after a short period of time, meaning the user may not have a chance to fully understand what it is saying, imagine if the clyde messages disappeared after 5 seconds or something. The other has actually been replaced already by buttons!

It would be helpful to allow bots to have access to messages that mention them, because they can provide a bit of a middle-ground between message commands and slash commands.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3540: Message Content Access Deprecation for Verified Bots

The scope mostly serves to allow applications to provide commands without the use of a bot. A way to set required scopes would be nice.

Downside of the scope is, that bot accounts may show as offline if the bot is Rest-only, which can give the impression that they are not active and therefore broken/discontinued.
Maybe have a heartbeat-like setup for applications.commands only bots would be a way to go?

One more thing I'd like to mention.
With the current setup for slash commands it's not possible to limit a bot to a certain channel.
Example: Dank Memer's slash commands only be used in #dank-memer channel etc.

It's not possible to do it via permissions due to the way interactions work, it would require all bot developers to add a system for servers to configure the bot/application to only respond in x channel
Which is a shit setup and gives less control to the actual servers.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3540: Message Content Access Deprecation for Verified Bots

I think that the "check this box to allow this bot to view messages" fundementally won't work, sure you're giving the user the 'choice'. However it's firstly the illusion of choice as a large majority of bots will request this solely for prefix commands, and secondly most users won't likely understand how bots work and what the potential for abuse is, and people have the tendency to give bots way more permissions than they need (eg administrator)
It's a nice idea, however I don't think it ad...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3540: Message Content Access Deprecation for Verified Bots

I thought I'd put my 2p in here both from the perspective of a bot developer using a 3rd party library and as a user of slash commands (and pulling some feedback from users of my bot too).

I will start off by repeating some of the points from earlier comments to get that out of the way:

  • I agree with the intent here to protect user privacy and I do agree with the underlying problem and solutions of restricting it by an intent. - I think the 100 server limit is very double-standard and ...

[discord-api-docs] New discussion #3562: document the Discord name of a unicode emoji

This issue has been discussed multiple times:

The old stance on the names:

Our API only supports emoji in unicode characters as syntax. Colon based formatting is a client construct (clients convert colon based formatting into unicode characters) that our API doesn't understand or deal with, so it has no place in our API docs.

Guild stickers have changed this as their tags now accept a "Discord name of a unicode emoji".

If this is to kept as it is then we should really get a li...

Finish the job before forcing me to use the half baked toolset

100% agree, but to be very honest, the way this feature seems to be, I don't think it can quite replace prefix commands in every extent. Slash commands were meant to use built in commands only for a long time, just like for example in Minecraft. And now pushing every single command from every single bot onto there is gonna get messy anyway. In my opinion part of the concept really needs to be reinvented.

[discord-api-docs] New discussion #3564: Expand resolved data for "mentionable" entities in message data

According to https://support-dev.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/4404772028055, access to message content, embeds, attachments, and components will soon be restricted. Presumably, mentions, mention_roles, and mention_channels will not be restricted since I don't see anything about these in the article.

My library (Discordia) provides mention data in a way where message content is parsed for all relevant <> bracket style mentions including users, roles, channels, emojis, and d...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #878: Media proxy sometimes return 0 width&height for images

That happened to me yesterday. I spend almost a whole day trying to find out why Discord was not caching my images, and it just started to work suddenly.

Before it started, I received a response saying that I was being Rate Limited.
I suspect Discord banned me for a day.
If that's possible, we should be able to check somewhere if we're blocked or not

Error: You are being rate limited. (discord/channels@0.0.3/messages/create)

[discord-api-docs] New discussion #3565: Inline Selects

Really loving the Integrations so far, especially as a bot creator!
I would like to suggest this option and would appreciate any feedback on it.

Currently, we can have only one Select per action row in a View.
However, in case of small labels (and no descriptions), two Selects next to each other might look better.
Here is a basic draft of what I'm talking about:

A better example of how annoyed I got was I have a /devtool stop command and I kept typo-ing /devtool s stop because Discord put my S in the argument when I intended, incorrectly, to do /devtools stop [...]

This concerns me, because I have separate commands /stat and /stats, and this is going to cause immense pain if this is true.

This isn't speculation, this is an experience I had

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3540: Message Content Access Deprecation for Verified Bots

I had similar experiences with Discord's /nick command.
Like I have a bot on my server that uses text commands (not slash commands) with a / prefix and it offers a /nickname <user> --random option to randomize a user's nickname...
But because Discord offers a /nick command, and because the client is shit at understanding what commands I actually want to use, did it think I meant /nick and auto-splitted the input right after that. So /nickname became /nick name at the end...

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #3568 Slash command options have no length limit

Description
Slash command options do not have a length limit like messages (2000/4000). As long as you keep pasting and editing the option to add more characters it will accept it, and the API will process it.

Steps to Reproduce

  • Create a slash command that takes a string
  • Paste in 1000 random characters as the argument.
  • Backspace until the cursor is back inside the argument and you can add more text in.
  • Paste another 1000 characters.
  • Rince and repeat the ...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3540: Message Content Access Deprecation for Verified Bots

I remember the biggest deal with slash commands was supposed to be serverside and clientside validated arguments - what's the point of that, when there's so many arg types that the only way to implement is through a string arg you parse yourself? Even a regex arg type would be amazing, if we could filter user input that way.

I'd like to mention discords own new built in /thread command fails clientside validation and has to hit the server before failing. It presents the need for restrict...

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3281: POST /guild/\{guild\.id\}/emojis has one\-hour rate limits

The limit is really very prohibitive for no reason and impacts my bot. Some suggestions/ideas if discord is seeing this:

  1. Add a bulk route which takes in the maximum amount of emojis in a server, and ratelimit it the way it is now.

or

  1. Allow verified bots to fill a form showing the use case and get ratelimits increased.

or

  1. Just remove the prohibitive ratelimits for verified bots.

[discord-api-docs] New discussion #3569: Support overriding \`default\_permission\` per guild

default_permission is a command property, but permissions are per-guild. I'm making a system where a global command defaults to requiring a Discord permission, but server admins can optionally set mod roles to override that. I'd like to set command permissions if the admin sets mod roles, but I can't change it to being disabled by default on the guild, so I can't. I'll just make it check the member's roles when the command is used, but that's suboptimal UX.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #3570: Error 'Invalid \\"code\\" in request' in javascript

Few things here:

  1. You posted your token. Either reset your token or expect your account to be banned as someone out there will definitely abuse that.
  2. This really isn't the place for these questions. The best place would be the DAPI server which has channels for these kinds of questions.
  3. The 400 error you are getting means something on your end is incorrect. Not a bug with dapi. Refer to 2.

[discord/discord-api-docs] Pull request opened: #3571 Removed deaf? and mute? fields from Guild Member Update

Myself and a few others noticed when implementing both the deaf and mute properties that these are not sent in GUILD_MEMBER_UPDATE. I have not been able to get these fields to be included in the json Discord sends with the members intent. It does not fire when someone either deafens/mutes themselves or gets server muted/deafened. It also doesn't seem to be included when someone is muted/deafened and something else causes the event to fire.

[discord-api-docs] New discussion #3573: Provide a Message to a Slash Command

Proposal
In light of messages becoming a Privileged Intent next year, it might be useful for users to be able to pass one of their own messages as an option to a Slash Command.

Use Case 1
Someone might be organising a tournament. They want people to register their intent to participate in the tournament. So, they write an announcement message, and then have a bot reply to their message with two buttons: 'Attend' and ...
