discord.py-self

A modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Discord's user API written in Python.

Fork Changes

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.

Key Features

• Modern Pythonic API using async and await.
• 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
  • Connections
  • Relationships
  • Protobuf user settings
  • Application/team management
  • Store/SKUs/entitlements
  • Billing (e.g. subscriptions, payments, boosts, promotions, etc.)
  • Interactions (slash commands, buttons, etc.)

Installing

Python 3.8 or higher is required.

To install the library without full voice support, you can just run the following command:

# 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]

Optional Packages

• 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)

Using with Upstream

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.

Quick Example

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')

Bot Example

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')
