Example Destiny Discord Bot

Features

Configuration

Copy .env.example to .env, and fill it with your Discord and Bungie application credentials

  • To create a Discord application go to: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/

    • Choose appropriate permissions for your application on the "OAuth2" section of your application
    • I've been using 92224, which grants the following permissions:
      • Send Messages
      • Manage Messages
      • Embed Links
      • Read Message History
      • Add Reactions

  • To create a Bungie application go to: https://www.bungie.net/en/Application

    • Your application's redirect URL should be https://localhost:3000/register

Create self-signed certificates for localhost, so the application can run with HTTPS

  • I use mkcert, which has releases for macOS, Linux and Windows
  • Certificates should be in the root directory of the project, and named:
    • localhost-key.pem
    • localhost.pem

Installing

Install dependencies with npm i

Running

Start the bot with npm start

  • This will run the application using ts-node under nodemon for automatic restarts when you change source files.

Add the bot to your server by visiting it's oauth URL - this should be printed to the console when the bot starts, or you can replace your configuration variables in the following URL:

  • https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id={DISCORD_APPLICATION_CLIENT_ID}&permissions={DISCORD_APPLICATION_PERMISSIONS_FLAGS}&scope=bot

Add appropriate roles to your bot after it joins your Discord server, so it can access the channels you want.

Test the bot with *hello or *register
