Discord API for Golang

This is my first Golang project and it is probably not maybe even barely suitable for use :)

Everything here so far is likely to change as I learn Golang better and refine the API names and such. Because of that I do not yet recommend this for use with anything super important :)

Initially my goal was to write a chatbot and I started working with https://github.com/Xackery/discord as my API. But that code didn't work 100% at the time. So I started slowly making changes to it and eventually ended up with something entirely different. Anyhow, credit goes to https://github.com/Xackery/discord for getting me started.

If you're looking for a more functional Discord API for Golang check out https://github.com/gdraynz/go-discord which I recently found. It's much more complete and will likely help me learn how to improve what I have here.

What Works

Low level functions exist for the core REST API and Websocket API.

  • Login to Discord
  • Get User information for a given user.
  • Get Private Channels (used for Private Messages) for a given user.
  • Get Servers for a given user.
  • Get Members of a given Server
  • Get Channels for a given Server
  • Get Messages for a given Channel
  • Send Messages to a given Channel
  • Start a Websocket connection and listen for and handle events.
  • Logout from Discord.
