A modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Discord's user API written in Python.
These changes have become too numerous to mention, so check out our docs.
Credits:
- Rapptz for the original library this fork is based on. Without it, the project would not exist.
- arandomnewaccount for help when the project was first started.
- Modern Pythonic API using
async
andawait
. - Proper rate limit handling.
- Optimised in both speed and memory.
- Mostly compatible with the upstream
discord.py
. - Prevents user account automation detection.
- Implements vast amounts of the user account-specific API. For a non-exhaustive list:
- Sessions
- Read states
- Connections
- Relationships
- Experiments
- Protobuf user settings
- Application/team management
- Store/SKUs/entitlements
- Billing (e.g. subscriptions, payments, boosts, promotions, etc.)
- Interactions (slash commands, buttons, etc.)
Python 3.8 or higher is required.
To install the library without full voice support, you can just run the following command:
Note
A Virtual Environment is recommended to install the library, especially on Linux where the system Python is externally managed and restricts which packages you can install on it.
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U discord.py-self
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py-self
Otherwise to get voice support you should run the following command:
# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "discord.py-self[voice]"
# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py-self[voice]
To install the development version, do the following:
$ git clone https://github.com/dolfies/discord.py-self
$ cd discord.py-self
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]
- PyNaCl (for voice support)
Please note that on Linux installing voice you must install the following packages via your favourite package manager (e.g. apt
, dnf
, etc) before running the above commands:
- libffi-dev (or
libffi-devel
on some systems) - python-dev (e.g.
python3.6-dev
for Python 3.6)
If you would like to use the library alongside upstream discord.py
, you can install selfcord.py
instead of discord.py-self
. Check out the renamed branch for more information.
import discord
class MyClient(discord.Client):
async def on_ready(self):
print('Logged on as', self.user)
async def on_message(self, message):
# only respond to ourselves
if message.author != self.user:
return
if message.content == 'ping':
await message.channel.send('pong')
client = MyClient()
client.run('token')
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', self_bot=True)
@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send('pong')
bot.run('token')
