How are discord bots online? Is there any API call I need to do to make my bot online? I just want to use the API, I don't want to use any libraries.
As far as I know about the Discord bot, I know this is not possible.
When you make a disc bot, it looks like a member. The only difference is that a series of features such as having a bot verification and having a dedicated roll.
Discord gives you a bot token that can be used to control the bot and enter the bot. You can write a code that keeps the bot online.
This was my information about the Discord bot. I may be wrong and someone may have more accurate and useful information.

Is this possible with the discord.js API to enable my custom bot to filter all direct messages and reject some from members that doesn't have a specific role even if they are in my friend list or in the same guilds ?
If I understand correctly you want the bot to block certain users from sending you DMs?
If so, then it's not possible.
Bots do not have access to your DMs with other people, nor are they able to emit an event when someone DMs you.
The discord API does not provide such functionality and it will probably never do.
I created a Discord Bot that sends a reminder for the team every hour or so. I want it to produce a new message SFX just like the tone for when someone in the channel sends a message.
Do you know if I can code a notification SFX to my Discord Bot? If yes, can you send me the link to a source code.
From my knowledge I do not think you can do that, I am not sure if it against TOS or not but yeah, if you want to do it just from the bot then no.
Is it possible to make a bot to automatically message people in my friends list or everyone from a specific server where i'm not an administrator? Where would i start, i know some Python but never worked with Discord bots, i was thinking this shouldn't be too hard as a first one?
I know i've received various messages / adveritsements from people on discord that i wouldn't think are admin on any server i'm on. Unless its done manually?
If you are wanting to write your own Discord bot in python, have a look at discord.py, follow the tutorial which will show you how to write simple commands and automated responses.

You must have the required permissions to add the bot to the discord server. A role with 'regular' permissions will typically not allow you to do this. Additionally you can only have discord bots bound to a server, so a 'personal' bot that follows you around different servers is not really feasible.
I think what you're talking about is a self bot, which is against the Discord TOS and will likely get your account banned. If you want to get a bot on a Discord Server you'll have to ask an administrator.
In Discord.JS, or really any Discord library, is it possible to turn on your video or screen share in a voice channel? This could be used for a great deal of things, but I'm specifically thinking about screen sharing lyrics to songs. Thanks!
Nope, unfortunately it's not possible at the moment. The Discord API itself does not give bots the ability to screenshare, nor is it a feature in discord.js or any other discord library.
I'm not sure why they decided not to allow bots to screenshare, or if they plan on adding the possibility to do so in the future.
You can't use discord.js to screenshare, but if you use userbot, you can do it.
Why discord not allow bots to screenshare? Because they said security breach happens.
I've been playing with the REST API for writing kik bots and it seems very straightforward to do powerful things.
The kik bot I'm familiar with is RAGE, and that has a feature that when talking to it you send it 'friend' command and it responds by being your friend, which makes it able to be invited into a group you're in.
My question is, what API call is being made by the bot when it receives a 'friend' command. My test bot can't be invited to a group and I'd like it to be able to.
Feels like I'm missing a bunch of logic but not sure what - anyone assist?
Rage bot does not use official kik api Rage bot is not a bot account from kik, It's an user account. Hence It's a self bot. There is an open source python library that allows you to turn an user account into a Bot and Rage bot uses that exact same api you can find the github page here
