discord.http

Python library that handles interactions from Discord POST requests.

Supported installs

• Guild application (normal bot)
• User application (bots on user accounts)

Installing

You need Python >=3.11 to use this library.

Install by using pip install discord.http in the terminal. If pip does not work, there are other ways to install as well, most commonly:

• python -m pip install discord.http
• python3 -m pip install discord.http
• pip3 install discord.http

Installing beta

Do you live on the edge and want to test before the next version is released? You can install it by using git+https://github.com/AlexFlipnote/discord.http@master instead of discord.http when running pip install.

Note

It can be unstable and unreliable, so use it at your own risk.

Quick example

from discord_http import Context, Client

client = Client(
    token="Your bot token here",
    application_id="Bot application ID",
    public_key="Bot public key",
    sync=True
)

@client.command()
async def ping(ctx: Context):
    """ A simple ping command """
    return ctx.response.send_message("Pong!")

client.start()
