Discord-Bot-Image-Upload

A Script/Bot to upload local files (like images, gifs and videos) to a Discord server channel.

This bot/script recursively looks for files in a directory, adds them all to a list, sorts that list in chronological order based on Date modified and then sends the files in that order and then the sent file's name gets added to a log file. It also checks a log file (if it already exists) for if a file to be sent has already been sent on the channel and then skips that file if it has already been sent and sends files that have not been sent.

See 'lol.py' for script.

Steps:

  1. Download the lol.py script in the repo above.
  2. Create a folder to put the lol.py script in.
  3. Open a terminal in that folder location.
  4. In that terminal run the following:
  pip install discord.py
  1. Now edit the lol.py script and add the needed values being Discord bot token, server ID, channel ID and folder location of files.
