Discordgo
Discordgo provides a mostly complete low-level Golang interface to the Discord REST and Websocket API.
Usage Example
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
"github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo"
)
func main() {
var err error
// Create a new Discord Session and set a handler for the OnMessageCreate
// event that happens for every new message on any channel
Session := discordgo.Session{
OnMessageCreate: messageCreate,
}
// Login to the Discord server and store the authentication token
// inside the Session
Session.Token, err = Session.Login("coolusername", "cleverpassword")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
return
}
// Open websocket connection
err = Session.Open()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
// Do websocket handshake.
err = Session.Handshake()
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
// Listen for events.
Session.Listen()
return
}
func messageCreate(s *discordgo.Session, m discordgo.Message) {
fmt.Printf("%25d %s %20s > %s\n", m.ChannelId, time.Now().Format(time.Stamp), m.Author.Username, m.Content)
}
Documentation
- GoDoc
- Hand crafted documentation coming soon.
What Works
Low level functions exist for the majority of the REST and Websocket API.
- Login/Logout
- Open/Close Websocket and listen for events.
- Accept/Create/Delete Invites
- Get User details (Name, ID, Settings, etc)
- List/Create User Channels (Private Message Channels)
- List/Create Guilds
- List/Create Guild Channels
- List Guild Members
- Receive/Send Messages to Channels
What's Unfinished
- Editing User Profile settings
- Permissions related functions.
- Functions for Maintenance Status
- Voice Channel support.
