Initials for Discord Bot #1

Description

@KarahanS

To create a Discord Bot, following actions are taken:

  • Create a new Discord account.
  • Login to the Discord Developers Portal and create a new Application.
  • Within the Application, add a new Bot. Generate an access token.
  • Set the appropriate permissions from the OAuth2 section and generate an invite link. (Permissions include being able to post a message to the channel, being able to respond with an emoji and similar things)
  • Using the invite link, invite the bot to the channel Jackson County. (Notice that the owner of the channel is my own personal Discord account; whereas, owner of the bot is a brand new Discord account.)

Now, bot seems to be existent. However, it is not online. For it to be online, we have to use discord package on Python and connect to our bot with the access token. As long as our program is running, our bot will be online on the Jackson County channel. For our boat to be online eternally, I guess we have to host it on cloud or something.

  • To run the application, create a file .env in the working directory and store the TOKEN there. Ask me the access token.
