Discord Bot API • Fulldroper`s personal site

The purpose of the project was to create a Discord bot using the native Discord API and a custom implementation for handling and processing requests.

The project is useful as it demonstrates how to interact directly with the Discord API and create custom handling for various types of requests, providing flexibility and control.

How the project works

The bot connects to a Discord server and uses the native Discord API to listen for events and handle requests. Custom logic is implemented to process these requests and respond accordingly.

Algorithm and Code Examples

Connecting to Discord Server

const https = require('https');

const botToken = 'YOUR_BOT_TOKEN';

const options = {
  hostname: 'discord.com',
  port: 443,
  path: '/api/v9/gateway/bot',
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bot ${botToken}`
  }
};

https.request(options, res => {
  res.on('data', d => {
    process.stdout.write(d);
  });
}).on('error', error => {
  console.error(error);
}).end();

Listening for Events

const WebSocket = require('ws');
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://gateway.discord.gg/?v=9&encoding=json');

ws.on('open', () => {
  ws.send(JSON.stringify({
    op: 2,
    d: {
      token: botToken,
      intents: 513,
      properties: {
        $os: 'linux',
        $browser: 'my_library',
        $device: 'my_library'
      }
    }
  }));
});

ws.on('message', data => {
  const payload = JSON.parse(data);
  const { t, event } = payload;

  if (t === 'MESSAGE_CREATE') {
    handleMessage(event);
  }
});

function handleMessage(event) {
  console.log(event);
  // Custom logic for handling messages
}
