[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3355: Developer Sandbox Mode

Seperate Guild for Bot & Lib Developers is a very good idea for my opinion. Like above said lots of Premium/Freemium Services already has seperate Sandbox APIs or Services to test and develop integrations very quickly and minimize the Bugs. If Discord decides to implement this SandBox Guild can in the early stages allow Early-Verified Bot Developers or Bot Developers whose Bot is over certain Guild threshold. But not ONLY the biggest Bot Developers like Mee6's Developers or Dyno's Developers....

[discord-api-docs] New discussion #3881: Allow bots to use /guilds/:id/members/@me endpoint to set their own guild avatar

Or for admins to change bot avatars similar how they can change nicknames to everyone, it doesn't really matter. This would allow [bots to allow] communities to customize bots for their guilds. For example, we want to use bot X, themed to our server, we've already renamed it to Y, but it would be great if we could also change the avatar. I understand that this is a nitro bound feature, but just like emojis I feel like this is one of those things that bots should be able to do.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on pull request #3882: Document Channel\-Icon CDN Endpoint

I don't think it's necessary, because it's only for group DMs. Only user accounts can manage these and self-botting is not allowed. Bots don't have access to group DMs

That's actually not true. Through OAuth2, bots can access messages from all channels a user has access to if the application was granted the messages.read scope. That way bots would also be able to access group DMs and therefore have a use for the group DM icons.

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #3883 Guild Member::avatar should be marked optional\.

Description

The new avatar field introduced to the Guild Member object in #3081 should be marked as optional, in addition to nullable. The API may omit them from relevant gateway events.

Steps to Reproduce

Observe relevant gateway events from a large guild, such as Guild Create or Guild Member Update. Some will lack the avatar field on the member payloads.

Either all relevant gateway events should include the avatar field, or the docume...

[discord/discord-api-docs] Issue opened: #3885 Duplicate Slash Commands

Description

When publishing slash commands to "guild", everything seems to work fine. However when I published the commands globally, after some time had passed, it created duplicated slash commands.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Deploy commands to guild
  2. Then deploy commands to global
  3. After some time, duplicate commands appear

Expected Behavior

I expect publishing commands globally not to create duplicate entries, but to "overwrite" existing ones.

[discord-api-docs] New discussion #3887: Allow Link Buttons on Webhooks

Hey friends,

I was hoping we could allow Button components of type 5 (link buttons) to be sent to non-bot webhooks. Currently they are stripped from the result when I POST them.

I believe it was mentioned in the DDev server that this is intentional behaviour for consistency, because components in general require interactivity. However, it is already documented that link buttons do not send an interaction payload to the bot/server endpoint, so IMHO this is a moot point - link buttons...

[discord-api-docs] Discussion #3437 marked answered: Add that the component messages Support dm

Perhaps you'd like to be more specific... but otherwise,

  • bots can send a message component inside a DM, AFAIK, there are no restrictions.
  • I recall a bug wherein buttons don't show up in DMs, so check if you're up to date.
  • not sure what "message" therein means, but if its an error, its because you need to respond back to any interaction.
  • it's possible to send a message with components in a DM if the "command" was triggered in a guild.

[discord-api-docs] Discussion #3273 marked answered: Ability for developers to impose a hard guild limit on bots

Considering that bots with privileged intents cannot be added to 100+ guilds if it isn't verified

This is actually not the full picture. Any bot--regardless of intent requirement--cannot be added to over 100 guilds. That's why I'm not sure I understand the use case of this feature suggestion? You do effectively have this limit already, it is 100 servers. A bot that is currently in under 100 servers cannot join a 101st without getting verified.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3301: Moderation API

For the sake of pure moderation, stopping events before they get sent to other users is definitely better than retroactively deleting them. However, that sort of "man in the middle" architecture is not something that Discord currently or plans to support. It would be a major change to our architecture, and would frankly be a huge load burden on someone implementing it to keep latency low at the scale at which Discord operates.

[discord-api-docs] Discussion #3313 marked answered: Ability to provide own input besides choices in command options\.

I think this would be solved by auto-complete suggestions as a broader feature of slash commands. The application could stream in suggested queries, such as youtube searches or your example of color choices, which would allow a lot of use-cases to be covered in one feature.

But, I do agree that there should be a way to make choices optional and allow users to set other values as well.

[discord-api-docs] Discussion #3342 marked answered: Allow editing ephemeral interaction responses through standard Edit Message endpoint

However, after some time (quite a while, possibly hours, I haven't measured) the interaction token appears to become invalid, causing that endpoint to return "Invalid Webhook Token".

Interaction tokens last 15 minutes.

These ephemeral messages aren't stored in the backend for Discord. Fundamentally though, I think expecting an ephemeral message to last 2 days is unrealistic. I suspect most of these go away in less than 15 minutes. If you want your message to be long lasting then it sh...

For URLs discord://test/users/296776625432035328 the API returns 400 with Not a well formed URL
While discord://test.com/users/296776625432035328 works fine
I don't believe this is intended behavior and probably just the URL parser looking for a TLD, but just something I noticed while testing this
On a side note, since this is implemented in components could it also be implemented in embed author/title URLs

[discord-api-docs] New discussion #3896: Emojis/description in slash command choices

For both predetermined and autocompletes choices, having an emoji/image associated with the response would be pretty helpful.

For my use case, I'd like to label some of my tutorial/help commands with an associated emoji to categorise them. (say all mod related commands have a :ban_hammer: emoji). In other cases, users are directly picking out emoji so the actual picture would help them

This would effectively bring slash command options up to the same level as in Selects.

I assume this is not intended behavior as it is not documented with a warning anywhere on the docs (as far as I looked)

User.banner, User.bannerURL(), User.accentColor and its ClientUser respective currently has a warning which reads the following:

The user must be force fetched for this property to be present

I think that's enough documentation to show that it won't be present unless you force fetch the user.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #3900: option choices cannot be set any other type then string

Obviously, since "string" does not refer to the option but to the actual property value in the json.

? What do you mean?

You used option 3 and tried to input a number as choice value (which obviously failed), I believe it says the other options (number and double) since it refers to option types 10 (double) and 4 (integer), the error you got is because you tried to use numbers as values for a string option.

Mobile users cannot copy embed field values.

Why This is Needed

On mobile, it is currently not possible to copy text from an embed. This is extremely inconvenient when a user is given data they want to copy in an embed field. For example, I use the command /getid name: ElisiDesmo which then gives me his id 2690315230. When I am on mobile, I have no way to copy this ID, I have to just type it out below the message then copy it.

Its already in mobile. This was an API change to allow link buttons to use it, which has already been done. The custom discord:// scheme was already supported on mobile platforms.

It might throw you to a browser and then immediately back into the app (there's some bugginess I've seen doing my own app development) but the custom discord:// scheme has been supported on iOS and android well before this.

Allowing bots to change users' in-server profile pictures would require verification and also the picture that is going to be set as profile picture would be checked if it's NSFW or not with an AI. The user itself would be notified when their profile picture is changed so if bot sets a NSFW profile picture, user can remove it as fast as possible and report the bot.

There are tons of ways to avoid security issues.

Many Eve Online Discord servers use the nickname changing feature to align users with their characters in game.

A user may not know a message has been published as they have to manually check the servers following those channels

Current solution (or workaround) is to set the receiving channel's notification setting to "All Messages" (Granted, this does mean the channel, it's parent category (if in one), and the Server cannot have their notifications 'muted' in order for this to work). That way, you get the notifications as you would a DM (and also the white unread message marker next to the Server...

For IP bans, it's still json data and looks similar to the format of a normal 429, there's no html in it. During an outage, we see response codes like 500, 502, 503, etc... and not something in the 400s.

Why exactly would you need code block support?
Pretty much any coding language I know doesn't care that much about formatting (how many indents you have f.e.) and if they do is it a shitty language.

As an example, in Java does it not matter if I type public String someString = "hello"; or public String someString = "hello"; because at the end is the important part the code itself.
So you could just utilize a String input and (maybe) a second one for selecting the language ...

This makes very little sense.

Thinking about this more, I don't think anyone can easily clarify the API's rich history of wishy-washy breakage and versioning with a one-liner. If you do keep the section, I'd recommend trying to define "additions" and "breaking", as futile as it may be.

Just for added context:
At the time they were removed because there was no way to know who was initiating the interaction (in the client), so bots (and subsequently users) were able to post messages that couldn't be moderated properly. At this time, it was also impossible to restrict certain application commands to certain roles or channels (still is, but we know that's coming)

Alright, I'm cool with merging it IF you update the docs for default_auto_archive_duration too, because what I want to avoid is someone in a few weeks then complaining that the field is optional and should use default_auto_archive_duration.

That would be an alternative but would make it more complex to use:
Instead of just sending a button with an array of application command option values, I'd have to create a form and create a handler for that form instead of using existing application command logic.
API usage would also increase.

Even with forms, there are still situations in which it'd be better to use slash commands with some pre filled values.

So, having forms would not make this suggestion obsolete.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on discussion #3973: Slash command popout should show option name instead of value

Hostility is not necessary.

The intention of the pop-out is to show the command that was run. The way that this data model is built, the message does not have access to the "human readable" name of the option type. Just the value.

The side effect of that architecture is that copy/paste doesn't work in this case. Which admittedly, is an experience we should support better in general.

That can done by making the change suggested here, or making another way to re-run previous commands.

As I said you can provide a /remove command to let people provide an optional reason should they wish to inform the bot and its developer. I am admittedly somewhat cynical, but I can easily imagine people making bots dm you a bunch of feedback related stuff unsolicited -- should they share a mutual server of course -- if they could see you kicked the bot. The reason itself is irrelevant mostly, it's the fact you can see you were kicked specifically.

[discord/discord-api-docs] New comment on issue #1296: Deep Linking with OAuth2 Not Working\.

Figured it out, it was because i was using node-fetch to try and make an x-www-form-urlencoded request. It kept failing, but when i used request it worked, so after taking a second look at the node-fetch's docs i realized i should have used URLSearchParams() so here is what i did:

As I said you can provide a /remove command to let people provide an optional reason should they wish to inform the bot and its developer.

Why would they run a command if they can just right-click name -> kick <user>? Barely anyone would ever use this since the kick and ban feature have been become a major part in "removing" a bot from a server, so unless you would directly tell them to use that command instead to give feedback would it not have any real impact.

I am using a custom scheme (app://myapp) in the redirection of the OAuth2 authorize. As I read in previous issue, to make it work, I have to implement PKCE. I did and I pass a code_challenge and a code_challenge_method to my request and I receive a code on my deep link (app://myapp?code=abcd).

[discord/discord-api-docs] New review comment on pull request #3996: document autocomplete 
Autocomplete interactions allow your application to dynamically return option suggestions to a user as they type.

An autocomplete interaction **can return partial data** for option values. Your application will receive partial data for any existing user input, as long as that input passes client-side validation. For example, you may receive partial strings, but not invalid ids. The option the user is currently typing will be sent with a `focused = true` boolean.

To justify, simply sending the ids of a few objects (guilds, channels, users) within a custom id takes up 18 characters each. Combined with other information passed along in a custom id, this can easily exceed 100 characters in some situations.

I can't speak for your specific use case because I don't know your overarching intentions and your underlying architecture.

But the main point of my proposed example approaches was that, you wouldn't need to serialize any of that data if that data is always in the interaction payload that discord is sending you along with the users interaction. Which it would be in the first example. As for the second example, the data would still be in the interaction, you'd just be controlling it a bit d...

For my particular usecase, I do not include information already given in the request (yay). The problem with using a temporary cache is that buttons stop working when the application could otherwise support it, so storing all required data inside the custom id becomes desirable.

Say a reaction role, help command message or something else that could easily be made persistent would be helped considerably by having the data being persistent. Luckily for my usecases, I find most of these case...

Devs: would removing the RNG portion be acceptable? Is sending it right away without delay fine?

The idea of the initial delay for the heartbeat is to reduce the impact that an outage could have on Discord, as all bots bombarding Discord at the same time would not help to recover. This randomness let's the services recover more gracefully by (in theory) lowering the clients that connect at once

It would be far easier to make planned API transistions if this propagation took exactly 3600 seconds, and left disabled until exactly 3600 seconds after registering/changing/deleting the command.

I can easily imagine people making bots dm you a bunch of feedback related stuff unsolicited -- should they share a mutual server of course -- if they could see you kicked the bot.

Bots can already do this, though.

They can easily keep track of the servers they're in, including receiving an event when they have left a server, which is either the result of a kick, deletion, or their own choice to leave.

This is not a bug. 100 is in the range 16-4096 and is also a power of 2 (10^2 = 100). Maybe you misunderstood the documentation.

Just to clarify the conditions in case you still don't understand it:

  1. The number you pass to size must be an integer between 16 and 4096.
  2. The number you pass to size must be a power of 2 (in other words, the square root of that number should give a whole number, since we are dealing with integers only)

Unlike acknowledging a slash/context command with DEFERRED_CHANNEL_MESSAGE_WITH_SOURCE which requires a message to be sent later, acknowledging an interaction (button presses etc.) with DEFERRED_UPDATE_MESSAGE does not require that the message is actually updated later.

The current wording is a bit ambiguous and resulted in some questions in the Discord Developer server; adding an "optionally" hopefully makes it clearer that a follow up is not required.
