Crate discord [] [src]

Client library for the Discord API.

The Discord API can be divided into three main components: the RESTful API to which calls can be made to take actions, a websocket-based permanent connection over which state updates are received, and the voice calling system.

Log in to Discord with Discord::new, new_cache, or from_bot_token as appropriate. The resulting value can be used to make REST API calls to post messages and manipulate Discord state. Calling connect() will open a websocket connection, through which events can be received. These two channels are enough to write a simple chatbot which can read and respond to messages.

For more in-depth tracking of Discord state, a State can be seeded with the ReadyEvent obtained when opening a Connection and kept updated with the events received over it.

To join voice servers, call Connection::voice to get a VoiceConnection and use connect to join a channel, then play and stop to control playback. Manipulating deaf/mute state and receiving audio are also possible.

For examples, see the examples directory in the source tree.
