[signal jasper]

Hello,
is it possible to make QR code verification in java for discord? (give role when user scan it)

Hey, @signal jasper!
Please remember to /close this post once your question has been answered!

yes

[signal jasper]

how

[signal jasper]

alright but how can I integrate it with discord

and give specific user rank after scan

[waxen talon]

You will need a discord bot which then listens for joins

or whatever

and then read the qr code

[signal jasper]

what joins

and how can I know who scanned the code

[atomic mesa]

when they scan the code, they get a link

that leads to a website

you need to create that website

and write it in a way to react to users

[gleaming cedar]

uw ant to make a bot?

[signal jasper]

yes

[signal jasper]

I saw people doing this without custom website

but in python

[gleaming cedar]

maybe u will have to store the qrcode text and whoeveer scan it and gives to bot he gets the role and then remove froms torage

will this work?

[atomic mesa]

entering the text manually isn't really a good UX

[gleaming cedar]

if u want to give to a specific player then when u are storing data store the player name and when someone gives qr code to bot he will get rank like that

[gleaming cedar]

wont a random text work which will be big so not possible to just get it

[signal jasper]

but how does he give the information to bot

look, he scans and then what

[gleaming cedar]

he can scan with the bot and the bot will get direcly

or he can paste the qr code

[signal jasper]

but then do I need http server?

[atomic mesa]

would work but typing all of that is...annoying for users

and there's no point in that kind of verification anyways

[gleaming cedar]

i dont understand whats his point to do that

[signal jasper]

but I need it

[atomic mesa]

except making it hard for legitimate users

[gleaming cedar]

like security or just like this fun ?

[gleaming cedar]

u can i think the bot is only a server

[atomic mesa]

there is no improvement in security by doing that

[gleaming cedar]

yes

[gleaming cedar]

if u want to give to a specific user then u can give at that mement

[gleaming cedar]

if u want to give him automatically u will have to give some method like exp 100 then he will get

[atomic mesa]

reaction roles have the same effect except that they are easier both to develop and use than QR codes

[signal jasper]

no, I need this verification

[gleaming cedar]

butwhy

[signal jasper]

bot attack

I already got 2 bot attacks

qr is easy and efficient way

[gleaming cedar]

make something to stop bot attack

this wont matter

[signal jasper]

yes, qr verification

[gleaming cedar]

oh so when plaers joinS?

[signal jasper]

wdym

thats all I ask

because I had no idea how to do it

when I saw code in python, I've seen people using selenium

[atomic mesa]

bots can read QR codes easier than humans lol

QR codes are designed to be read by computers

QR verification in that way might stop some script kidfies but it won't stop anyone wjo knows what they are doing

and it's way easier to bypass the verification than to write it

[signal jasper]

but I wanna try it and make it

+good practice and experience

so, any clue (also related with selenium)

[atomic mesa]

if you want to stop automatic raiders, use existing tools

[signal jasper]

ehhh

[atomic mesa]

those are probably more efficient

[signal jasper]

I'll try to figure qr code one by myself, thanks for engage for helping
