Open Source Linux Discord Bots

JDA strives to provide a clean and full wrapping of the Discord REST api and its Websocket-Events for Java. This library is a helpful tool that provides the functionality to create a discord bot in java. Discord is currently prohibiting the creation and usage of automated client accounts (AccountType.CLIENT). We have officially dropped support for client login as of version 4.2.0! Note that JDA is not a good tool to build a custom discord client as it loads all servers/guilds on startup, unlike a client which does this via lazy loading instead. If you need a bot, use a bot account from the Application Dashboard. Creating the JDA Object is done via the JDABuilder class. After setting the token and other options via setters, the JDA Object is then created by calling the build() method. When build() returns, JDA might not have finished starting up. However, you can use await ready() on the JDA object to ensure that the entire cache is loaded before proceeding.

DiscordGo is a Go package that provides low level bindings to the Discord chat client API. DiscordGo has nearly complete support for all of the Discord API endpoints, websocket interface, and voice interface. If you would like to help the DiscordGo package please use this link to add the official DiscordGo test bot dgo to your server. This provides indispensable help to this project. Construct a new Discord client which can be used to access the variety of Discord API functions and to set callback functions for Discord events. The DiscordGo code is fairly well documented at this point and is currently the only documentation available. Go reference (below) presents that information in a nice format. This library and the Discord API are unfinished. Because of that there may be major changes to library in the future.

The BOT is used in our Discord server.
