Discord Client

AA contains a web client for interacting with the Discord API. This client can be used independently from an installed Discord service in AA.

Location: allianceauth.services.modules.discord.discord_client

client

Client for interacting with the Discord API.

class DiscordApiStatusCode(value)

Status code returned from the Discord API.

UNKNOWN_MEMBER = 10007

class DiscordClient(access_token: str, redis: Optional[redis.client.Redis] = None, is_rate_limited: bool = True)

This class provides a web client for interacting with the Discord API.

The client has rate limiting that supports concurrency. This means it is able to ensure the API rate limit is not violated, even when used concurrently, e.g. with multiple parallel celery tasks.

In addition the client support proper API backoff.

Synchronization of rate limit infos across multiple processes is implemented with Redis and thus requires Redis as Django cache backend.

The cache is shared across all clients and processes (also using Redis).

All durations are in milliseconds.

Most errors from the API will raise a requests.HTTPError.

Parameters

• access_token – Discord access token used to authenticate all calls to the API

• redis – Redis instance to be used.

• is_rate_limited – Set to False to turn off rate limiting (use with care). If not specified will try to use the Redis instance from the default Django cache backend.

Raises

ValueError – No access token provided

__init__(access_token: str, redis: Optional[redis.client.Redis] = None, is_rate_limited: bool = True) → None

property access_token: str

Discord access token.

add_guild_member(guild_id: int, user_id: int, access_token: str, role_ids: Optional[list] = None, nick: Optional[str] = None) → Optional[bool]

Adds a user to the guild.

Returns

• True when a new user was added

• None if the user already existed

• False when something went wrong or raises exception

add_guild_member_role(guild_id: int, user_id: int, role_id: int) → Optional[bool]

create_guild_role(guild_id: int, role_name: str, **kwargs) → Optional[allianceauth.services.modules.discord.discord_client.models.Role]

See official documentation for additional optional parameters.

Note that Discord allows the creation of multiple roles with the same name, so to avoid duplicates it’s important to check existing roles before creating new one

Returns

new role on success

settings

Settings for the Discord client.

To overwrite a default set the variable in your local Django settings, e.g:

DISCORD_GUILD_NAME_CACHE_MAX_AGE = 7200

DISCORD_API_BASE_URL = 'https://discord.com/api/'

Base URL for all API calls. Must end with /.
