I got multiple discord bots and sometimes it would be useful to find out to what bot a token belongs to via the API or some other way?
I'm using Javachord and I've found there's a getYourself() in DiscordApi that returns a User which represents the current bot.
I'm not sure how that maps to the Discord API itself though
Here's an alternative solution.
Discord has an API endpoint users/#me that returns the current user's user object.
Try this for an example:
curl -H "Authorization: Bot <token>" https://discord.com/api/v9/users/#me
Discord also sends back a user object (part of lots more info) as part of the Identify process when using its websocket gateways, but this probably isn't what you would want.

I recently receive a 2 message in discord with invite link to server I received it from bot who doesn't share the same server with me or anything
How this is possible, I find some py codes but only work if the user and bot share same server
from discord.ext.commands import Bot, Greedy
from discord import User
bot = Bot(command_prefix='!')
#bot.command()
async def pm(ctx, users: Greedy[User], *, message):
for user in users:
await user.send(message)
bot.run("TOKEN")
How can I make one send messages to list of IDs not in same server?
Maybe the bot left the server after he sent the invite to everyone.
You could check if one of the bots was in the servers in the audit-log.
you could either get the user by id with the guild.get_member(id). That requires the user to be on that specific guild you try to get the user.
Or you can use bot.get_user(id) / await bot.fetch_user(id). There the bot tries to get the user. If found you can do sth with it else it will return None or raises the command Error UserNotFound.
A bot that has no mutal guild with a specific user cannot send a dm to them.
Also what purpuse is it to send dms to multiple users from a list?
Keep in mind that its against the Discord TOS to mass dm users without permissions. If they did not opt in sth to get dms I would not send random dms do multiple users.
I am trying to make a call to /guilds/guild.id/channels endpoint after retrieving a user's guild data that is provided after they successfully authenticate with my app using the Discord's OAuth flow.
My OAuth permissions include email and guilds.
After receiving an access_token I am able to make a call to /users/#me/guilds. However, when I try to iterate over this to access each guild's list of channels using the /guilds/guild.id/channels endpoint I receive a {"message": "401: Unauthorized", "code": 0}. I pass the same access_token in the header of this request.
My question is about the limitations of the Discord API when authenticating with OAuth. The documentation says
Unlike the normal OAuth2 flow, bot accounts have full access to all API routes without using bearer tokens
So can I make an API call to /guilds/guild.id/channels using my access_token?
Or do I have to do this through a bot? And if a bot is required then that means in order to make a call to /guilds/guild.id/channels the bot must first be added to the guild, right?
I believe you falsely assumed that the guilds OAuth2 scope will give you full access to the guilds of the user. This is not the case, the guilds scope only grants the access token permission to view a list of all the user's guilds and basic information of these guilds (guild ID, avatar, name, flags, the user's permission, and whether the user's the owner).
This does not include giving you access to see the guild's channels. The only endpoint guilds scope gives you is /users/#me/guilds which you already know. I believe this is due to user privacy concerns since it unnecessarily lets you to view the channels list from non-related guilds. Most cases when the guilds scope is used, it is to verify if the user's in a certain guild; useful for bot dashboards.
The only way to retrieve a list of channels requires you to have a bot in the guild and use the /guilds/<guild.id>/channels while identifying as your bot.
To see what the OAuth2 scopes actually grants you, it's documented here: https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2#shared-resources-oauth2-scopes.
I want to send a message in a Discord channel but from a user account not a bot. Is this kind of thing possible using Discord's API?
The official documentation should contain enough information to get started: https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#create-message
Make sure to login with OAuth2 and not as a bot. Also, it is important to get the right scope (permissions) when requesting an OAuth token.
I want to send a message from my discord bot to a specific user like myself using my discord id.
I have tried the following code where my client object is named as bot:
bot.users.get("My Id copied from discord").send("Message to Send");
but it gives the following error in the terminal:
bot.users.get is not a function
Please help me in resolving this error.
Thank you
Since discord.js v12 you need to use cache to access the users collection
bot.users.cache.get('ID').send('hello')
You need to use users.fetch() instead since the user might not be cached
const user = await bot.users.fetch('ID')
user.send('hello')
I'm working with Facebook Messenger Bots and I need a way to make an HTTP Request for the last message sent by the user. All I can find is that Messenger Bots send a web hook with the information but, I specifically need to be able to manually check for the last message sent by the user. Any input would be helpful. Thank you.
