Python Discord Bot Template

This repository is a template that everyone can use for the start of their discord bot.

I would've been happy if there were any template existing. However, there wasn't any existing template. That's why I decided to create my own template to let you guys create your discord bot easily.

How to download it

Alternatively you can do the following:

• Clone/Download the repository
  • To clone it and get the updates you can definitely use the command git clone
• Create a discord bot here
• Get your bot token
• Invite your bot on servers using the following invite: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?&client_id=YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE&scope=bot+applications.commands&permissions=PERMISSIONS ( Replace YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE with the application ID and replace PERMISSIONS with the required permissions your bot needs that it can be get at the bottom of a this page https://discord.com/developers/applications/YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE/bot)

How to set up

To set up the bot I made it as simple as possible. I now created a config.json file where you can put the needed things to edit.

Here is an explanation of what everything is:

Variable	What it is
YOUR_BOT_PREFIX_HERE	The prefix(es) of your bot
YOUR_BOT_TOKEN_HERE	The token of your bot
YOUR_APPLICATION_ID_HERE	The application ID of your bot
OWNERS	The user ID of all the bot owners

How to start

To start the bot you simply need to launch, either your terminal (Linux, Mac & Windows), or your Command Prompt ( Windows) .

Before running the bot you will need to install all the requirements with this command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you have just installed python today, then you just need to use the following command:

python client.py
