discord-py-api

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

Key Features

• Modern Pythonic API using async and await.
• Proper rate limit handling.
• Optimised in both speed and memory.

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-api

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord-py-api

Otherwise to get voice support you should run the following command:

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "discord-py-api[voice]"

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U discord-py-api[voice]

Optional Packages

• PyNaCl (for voice support)

Please note that when installing voice support on Linux, 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)

Quick Example

import discord
from botway import GetToken

class MyClient(discord.Client):
    async def on_ready(self):
        print('Logged on as', self.user)

    async def on_message(self, message):
        # don't respond to ourselves
        if message.author == self.user:
            return

        if message.content == 'ping':
            await message.channel.send('pong')

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = MyClient(intents=intents)
client.run(GetToken())

Bot Example

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from botway import GetToken

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='>', intents=intents)

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send('pong')

bot.run(GetToken())
