API Reference

The following section outlines the API of nextcord.

Note

This module uses the Python logging module to log diagnostic and errors in an output-independent way. If the logging module is not configured, these logs will not be output anywhere. See Setting Up Logging for more information on how to set up and use the logging module with nextcord.

class nextcord.Client(*, max_messages=1000, connector=None, proxy=None, proxy_auth=None, shard_id=None, shard_count=None, application_id=None, intents=<Intents value=3243773>, member_cache_flags=..., chunk_guilds_at_startup=..., status=None, activity=None, allowed_mentions=None, heartbeat_timeout=60.0, guild_ready_timeout=2.0, assume_unsync_clock=True, enable_debug_events=False, loop=None, lazy_load_commands=True, rollout_associate_known=True, rollout_delete_unknown=True, rollout_register_new=True, rollout_update_known=True, rollout_all_guilds=False, default_guild_ids=None)

Represents a client connection that connects to Discord. This class is used to interact with the Discord WebSocket and API.

A number of options can be passed to the Client.

Parameters:

  • max_messages (Optional[int]) –

    The maximum number of messages to store in the internal message cache. This defaults to 1000. Passing in None disables the message cache.

    Changed in version 1.3: Allow disabling the message cache and change the default size to 1000.

  • loop (Optional[asyncio.AbstractEventLoop]) – The asyncio.AbstractEventLoop to use for asynchronous operations. Defaults to None, in which case the default event loop is used via asyncio.get_event_loop().

  • connector (Optional[aiohttp.BaseConnector]) – The connector to use for connection pooling.

  • proxy (Optional[str]) – Proxy URL.

  • proxy_auth (Optional[aiohttp.BasicAuth]) – An object that represents proxy HTTP Basic Authorization.

  • shard_id (Optional[int]) – Integer starting at 0 and less than shard_count.

  • shard_count (Optional[int]) – The total number of shards.

  • application_id (Optional[int]) – The client’s application ID.

  • intents (Intents) –

    The intents that you want to enable for the session. This is a way of disabling and enabling certain gateway events from triggering and being sent. If not given, defaults to a regularly constructed Intents class.

    New in version 1.5.

  • member_cache_flags (MemberCacheFlags) –

    Allows for finer control over how the library caches members. If not given, defaults to cache as much as possible with the currently selected intents.

    New in version 1.5.

  • chunk_guilds_at_startup (bool) –

    Indicates if on_ready() should be delayed to chunk all guilds at start-up if necessary. This operation is incredibly slow for large amounts of guilds. The default is True if Intents.members is True.

    New in version 1.5.

  • status (Optional[Status]) – A status to start your presence with upon logging on to Discord.

  • activity (Optional[BaseActivity]) – An activity to start your presence with upon logging on to Discord.

  • allowed_mentions (Optional[AllowedMentions]) –

    Control how the client handles mentions by default on every message sent.

    New in version 1.4.

  • heartbeat_timeout (float) – The maximum numbers of seconds before timing out and restarting the WebSocket in the case of not receiving a HEARTBEAT_ACK. Useful if processing the initial packets take too long to the point of disconnecting you. The default timeout is 60 seconds.

  • guild_ready_timeout (float) –

    The maximum number of seconds to wait for the GUILD_CREATE stream to end before preparing the member cache and firing READY. The default timeout is 2 seconds.

    New in version 1.4.

  • assume_unsync_clock (bool) –

    Whether to assume the system clock is unsynced. This applies to the ratelimit handling code. If this is set to True, the default, then the library uses the time to reset a rate limit bucket given by Discord. If this is False then your system clock is used to calculate how long to sleep for. If this is set to False it is recommended to sync your system clock to Google’s NTP server.

    New in version 1.3.

  • enable_debug_events (bool) –

    Whether to enable events that are useful only for debugging gateway related information.

    Right now this involves on_socket_raw_receive() and on_socket_raw_send(). If this is False then those events will not be dispatched (due to performance considerations). To enable these events, this must be set to True. Defaults to False.

    New in version 2.0.

  • lazy_load_commands (bool) –

    Whether to attempt to associate an unknown incoming application command ID with an existing application command.

    If this is set to True, the default, then the library will attempt to match up an unknown incoming application command payload to an application command in the library.

  • rollout_associate_known (bool) – Whether during the application command rollout to associate found Discord commands with commands added locally. Defaults to True.

  • rollout_delete_unknown (bool) – Whether during the application command rollout to delete commands from Discord that don’t correspond with a locally added command. Defaults to True.

  • rollout_register_new (bool) – Whether during the application command rollout to register new application commands that were added locally but not found on Discord. Defaults to True.

  • rollout_update_known (bool) – Whether during the application command rollout to update known applications that share the same signature but don’t quite match what is registered on Discord. Defaults to True.

  • rollout_all_guilds (bool) –

    Whether during the application command rollout to update to all guilds, instead of only ones with at least one command to roll out to them. Defaults to False

    Warning: While enabling this will prevent “ghost” commands on guilds with removed code references, rolling out to ALL guilds with anything other than a very small bot will likely cause it to get rate limited.

  • default_guild_ids (Optional[List[int]]) –

    The default guild ids for every application command set. If the application command doesn’t have any explicit guild ids set and this list is not empty, then the application command’s guild ids will be set to this. Defaults to None.

    New in version 2.3.

ws

The websocket gateway the client is currently connected to. Could be None.

loop

The event loop that the client uses for asynchronous operations.

Type:

asyncio.AbstractEventLoop

@event

A decorator that registers an event to listen to.

You can find more info about the events on the documentation below.

The events must be a coroutine, if not, TypeError is raised.

Example

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Ready!')
Raises:

TypeError – The coroutine passed is not actually a coroutine.

async for ... in fetch_guilds(*, limit=200, with_counts=False, before=None, after=None)

Retrieves an AsyncIterator that enables receiving your guilds.

Note

Using this, you will only receive Guild.owner, Guild.icon, Guild.id, and Guild.name per Guild.

Note

This method is an API call. For general usage, consider guilds instead.

Examples

Usage

async for guild in client.fetch_guilds(limit=150):
    print(guild.name)

Flattening into a list

guilds = await client.fetch_guilds(limit=150).flatten()
# guilds is now a list of Guild...

All parameters are optional.

Parameters:

  • limit (Optional[int]) –

    The number of guilds to retrieve. If None, it retrieves every guild you have access to. Note, however, that this would make it a slow operation. Defaults to 200.

    Changed in version 2.0: Changed default to 200.

  • with_counts (bool) –

    Whether to include approximate member and presence counts for the guilds. Defaults to False.

    New in version 2.6.

  • before (Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]) – Retrieves guilds before this date or object. If a datetime is provided, it is recommended to use a UTC aware datetime. If the datetime is naive, it is assumed to be local time.

  • after (Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]) – Retrieve guilds after this date or object. If a datetime is provided, it is recommended to use a UTC aware datetime. If the datetime is naive, it is assumed to be local time.

Raises:

.HTTPException – Getting the guilds failed.

Yields:

Guild – The guild with the guild data parsed.

property latency

Measures latency between a HEARTBEAT and a HEARTBEAT_ACK in seconds.

This could be referred to as the Discord WebSocket protocol latency.

Read-only list of messages the connected client has cached.

New in version 1.1.

Type:

Sequence[Message]

property private_channels

The private channels that the connected client is participating on.

Note

This returns only up to 128 most recent private channels due to an internal working on how Discord deals with private channels.

Type:

List[abc.PrivateChannel]

property voice_clients

Represents a list of voice connections.

These are usually VoiceClient instances.

Type:

List[VoiceProtocol]

property application_id

Type:

Optional[int]

property application_flags

The client’s application flags.

New in version 2.0.

Type:

ApplicationFlags

property default_guild_ids

List[int] The default guild ids for all application commands.

is_ready()

bool: Specifies if the client’s internal cache is ready for use.

await on_error(event_method, *args, **kwargs)

This function is a coroutine.

The default error handler provided by the client.

By default this prints to stderr however it could be overridden to have a different implementation. Check on_error() for more details.

await on_application_command_error(interaction, exception)

This function is a coroutine.

The default application command error handler provided by the bot.

By default this prints to stderr however it could be overridden to have a different implementation.

This only fires if you do not specify any listeners for command error.

await before_identify_hook(shard_id, *, initial=False)

This function is a coroutine.

A hook that is called before IDENTIFYing a session. This is useful if you wish to have more control over the synchronization of multiple IDENTIFYing clients.

The default implementation sleeps for 5 seconds.

New in version 1.4.

Parameters:

  • shard_id (int) – The shard ID that requested being IDENTIFY’d

  • initial (bool) – Whether this IDENTIFY is the first initial IDENTIFY.

await login(token)

This function is a coroutine.

Logs in the client with the specified credentials.

Parameters:

token (str) – The authentication token. Do not prefix this token with anything as the library will do it for you.

Raises:

  • .LoginFailure – The wrong credentials are passed.

  • .HTTPException – An unknown HTTP related error occurred, usually when it isn’t 200 or the known incorrect credentials passing status code.

await connect(*, reconnect=True)

This function is a coroutine.

Creates a websocket connection and lets the websocket listen to messages from Discord. This is a loop that runs the entire event system and miscellaneous aspects of the library. Control is not resumed until the WebSocket connection is terminated.

Parameters:

reconnect (bool) – If we should attempt reconnecting, either due to internet failure or a specific failure on Discord’s part. Certain disconnects that lead to bad state will not be handled (such as invalid sharding payloads or bad tokens).

Raises:

  • .GatewayNotFound – If the gateway to connect to Discord is not found. Usually if this is thrown then there is a Discord API outage.

  • .ConnectionClosed – The websocket connection has been terminated.

await close()

This function is a coroutine.

Closes the connection to Discord.

clear()

Clears the internal state of the bot.

After this, the bot can be considered “re-opened”, i.e. is_closed() and is_ready() both return False along with the bot’s internal cache cleared.

await start(token, *, reconnect=True)

This function is a coroutine.

A shorthand coroutine for login() + connect().

Raises:

TypeError – An unexpected keyword argument was received.

run(*args, **kwargs)

A blocking call that abstracts away the event loop initialisation from you.

If you want more control over the event loop then this function should not be used. Use start() coroutine or connect() + login().

Roughly Equivalent to:

try:
    loop.run_until_complete(start(*args, **kwargs))
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    loop.run_until_complete(close())
    # cancel all tasks lingering
finally:
    loop.close()

Warning

This function must be the last function to call due to the fact that it is blocking. That means that registration of events or anything being called after this function call will not execute until it returns.

is_closed()

bool: Indicates if the websocket connection is closed.

property activity

Type:

Optional[BaseActivity]

property status

Status: The status being used upon logging on to Discord.

for ... in get_all_channels()

A generator that retrieves every abc.GuildChannel the client can ‘access’.

This is equivalent to:

for guild in client.guilds:
    for channel in guild.channels:
        yield channel

Note

Just because you receive a abc.GuildChannel does not mean that you can communicate in said channel. abc.GuildChannel.permissions_for() should be used for that.

Yields:

abc.GuildChannel – A channel the client can ‘access’.

for ... in get_all_members()

Returns a generator with every Member the client can see.

This is equivalent to:

for guild in client.guilds:
    for member in guild.members:
        yield member
Yields:

Member – A member the client can see.

await wait_until_ready()

This function is a coroutine.

Waits until the client’s internal cache is all ready.

wait_for(event, *, check=None, timeout=None)

This function is a coroutine.

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The timeout parameter is passed onto asyncio.wait_for(). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the asyncio.TimeoutError for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a tuple containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the documentation for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the first event that meets the requirements.

Examples

Waiting for a user reply:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$greet'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Say hello!')

        def check(m):
            return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel

        msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
        await channel.send(f'Hello {msg.author}!')

Waiting for a thumbs up reaction from the message author:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$thumb'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Send me that 👍 reaction, mate')

        def check(reaction, user):
            return user == message.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👍'

        try:
            reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            await channel.send('👎')
        else:
            await channel.send('👍')
Parameters:

  • event (str) – The event name, similar to the event reference, but without the on_ prefix, to wait for.

DMChannel

add_view(view, *, message_id=None)

Registers a View for persistent listening or for non- persistent storage.

This method should be used for when a view is comprised of components that last longer than the lifecycle of the program.

New in version 2.0.

Changed in version 2.6: Non-persistent views can now be stored during the lifetime of the bot.

Parameters:

  • view (nextcord.ui.View) – The view to register for dispatching or to add to storage.

  • message_id (Optional[int]) – The message ID that the view is attached to. This is currently used to refresh the view’s state during message update events. If not given then message update events are not propagated for the view. This cannot be provided if the view is non-persistent.

Raises:

  • TypeError – A view was not passed.

  • ValueError – The message_id parameter was passed in with a non-persistent view.

remove_view(view, message_id=None)

Removes a View from persistent listening or non-persistent storage.

This method should be used if a persistent view is set in a cog and should be freed when the cog is unloaded to save memory or if you want to stop tracking a non-persistent view.

New in version 2.3.

Changed in version 2.6: Non-persistent views can now be removed from storage.

Parameters:

  • view (nextcord.ui.View) – The view to remove from dispatching.

  • message_id (Optional[int]) – The message ID that the view is attached to. This is used to properly remove the view from the view store. This cannot be provided if the view is non-persistent.

Raises:

  • TypeError – A view was not passed.

  • ValueError – The message_id parameter was passed in with a non-persistent view.

add_modal(modal, *, user_id=None)

Parameters:

  • modal (nextcord.ui.Modal) – The view to register for dispatching.

  • user_id (Optional[int]) – The user ID that the view is attached to. This is used to filter the modal calls based on the users.

Raises:

  • TypeError – A modal was not passed.

  • ValueError – The modal is not persistent. A persistent modal has a set custom_id and all their components with a set custom_id and a timeout set to None.

remove_modal(modal)

await sync_all_application_commands(data=None, *, use_rollout=True, associate_known=True, delete_unknown=True, update_known=True, register_new=True, ignore_forbidden=True)

This function is a coroutine.

Syncs all application commands with Discord. Will sync global commands if any commands added are global, and syncs with all guilds that have an application command targeting them.

This may call Discord many times depending on how different guilds you have local commands for, and how many commands Discord needs to be updated or added, which may cause your bot to be rate limited or even Cloudflare banned in VERY extreme cases.

This may incur high CPU usage depending on how many commands you have and how complex they are, which may cause your bot to halt while it checks local commands against the existing commands that Discord has.

For a more targeted version of this method, see Client.sync_application_commands()

Parameters:

  • data (Optional[Dict[Optional[int], List[dict]]]) – Data to use when comparing local application commands to what Discord has. The key should be the int guild ID (None for global) corresponding to the value list of application command payloads from Discord. Any guild ID’s not provided will be fetched if needed. Defaults to None

  • use_rollout (bool) – If the rollout guild IDs of commands should be used. Defaults to True

  • associate_known (bool) – If local commands that match a command already on Discord should be associated with each other. Defaults to True

  • delete_unknown (bool) – If commands on Discord that don’t match a local command should be deleted. Defaults to True

  • update_known (bool) – If commands on Discord have a basic match with a local command, but don’t fully match, should be updated. Defaults to True

  • register_new (bool) – If a local command that doesn’t have a basic match on Discord should be added to Discord. Defaults to True

  • ignore_forbidden (bool) – If this command should suppress a errors.Forbidden exception when the bot encounters a guild where it doesn’t have permissions to view application commands. Defaults to True

await sync_application_commands(data=None, *, guild_id=None, associate_known=True, delete_unknown=True, update_known=True, register_new=True)

This function is a coroutine. Syncs the locally added application commands with the Guild corresponding to the given ID, or syncs global commands if the guild_id is None.

Parameters:

  • data (Optional[List[dict]]) – Data to use when comparing local application commands to what Discord has. Should be a list of application command data from Discord. If left as None, it will be fetched if needed. Defaults to None.

  • guild_id (Optional[int]) – ID of the guild to sync application commands with. If set to None, global commands will be synced instead. Defaults to None.

  • associate_known (bool) – If local commands that match a command already on Discord should be associated with each other. Defaults to True.

  • delete_unknown (bool) – If commands on Discord that don’t match a local command should be deleted. Defaults to True.

  • update_known (bool) – If commands on Discord have a basic match with a local command, but don’t fully match, should be updated. Defaults to True.

  • register_new (bool) – If a local command that doesn’t have a basic match on Discord should be added to Discord. Defaults to True.

await discover_application_commands(data=None, *, guild_id=None, associate_known=True, delete_unknown=True, update_known=True)

This function is a coroutine. Associates existing, deletes unknown, and updates modified commands for either global commands or a specific guild. This does a deep check on found commands, which may be expensive CPU-wise.

Running this for global or the same guild multiple times at once may cause unexpected or unstable behavior.

Parameters:

  • data (Optional[List[dict]]) – Payload from HTTPClient.get_guild_commands or HTTPClient.get_global_commands to deploy with. If None, the payload will be retrieved from Discord.

  • guild_id (Optional[int]) – Guild ID to deploy application commands to. If None, global commands are deployed to.

  • associate_known (bool) – If True, commands on Discord that pass a signature check and a deep check will be associated with locally added ApplicationCommand objects.

  • delete_unknown (bool) – If True, commands on Discord that fail a signature check will be removed. If update_known is False, commands that pass the signature check but fail the deep check will also be removed.

  • update_known (bool) – If True, commands on Discord that pass a signature check but fail the deep check will be updated.

await delete_unknown_application_commands(data=None)

Deletes unknown global commands.

await associate_application_commands(data=None)

Associates global commands registered with Discord with locally added commands.

await update_application_commands(data=None)

Updates global commands that have slightly changed with Discord.

await register_new_application_commands(data=None, guild_id=None)

This function is a coroutine. Registers locally added application commands that don’t match a signature that Discord has registered for either global commands or a specific guild.

Parameters:

Parameters:

  • commands (BaseApplicationCommand) – Application command to register. Multiple args are accepted.

  • guild_id (Optional[int]) – ID of the guild to register the application commands to. If set to None, the commands will be registered as global commands instead. Defaults to None.

await delete_application_commands(*commands, guild_id=None)

This function is a coroutine. Deletes the given application commands either from a specific guild or globally, and removes the command IDs + signatures from the bot.

Parameters:

  • commands (BaseApplicationCommand) – Application command to delete. Multiple args are accepted.

  • guild_id (Optional[int]) – ID of the guild to delete the application commands from. If set to None, the commands will be deleted from global commands instead. Defaults to None.

add_all_application_commands()

Adds application commands that are either decorated by the Client or added via a cog to the state. This does not register commands with Discord. If you want that, use sync_all_application_commands() instead.

await rollout_application_commands()

This function is a coroutine. Deploys global application commands and registers new ones if enabled.

add_all_cog_commands()

Adds all ApplicationCommand objects inside added cogs to the application command list.

parse_mentions(text)

Parses user mentions in a string and returns a list of User objects.

Note

This does not include role or channel mentions. See Guild.parse_mentions for Member objects, Guild.parse_role_mentions for Role objects, and Guild.parse_channel_mentions for GuildChannel objects.

Note

Only cached users will be returned. To get the IDs of all users mentioned, use parse_raw_mentions() instead.

New in version 2.2.

Parameters:

text (str) – String to parse mentions in.

Returns:

List of User objects that were mentioned in the string.

Return type:

List[User]

get_interaction(data, *, cls=<class 'nextcord.interactions.Interaction'>)

Returns an interaction for a gateway event.

Parameters:

  • data – The data direct from the gateway.

  • cls – The factory class that will be used to create the interaction. By default, this is Interaction. Should a custom class be provided, it should be a subclass of Interaction.

Returns:

  • Interaction – An instance Interaction or the provided subclass.

  • .. note:: – This is synchronous due to how slash commands are implemented.

add_application_command_check(func)

Adds a global application command check to the client.

This is the non-decorator interface to application_command_check().

Parameters:

func (Callable[[Interaction], MaybeCoro[bool]]]) – The function that was used as a global application check.

remove_application_command_check(func)

Removes a global application command check from the client.

This function is idempotent and will not raise an exception if the function is not in the global checks.

Parameters:

func (Callable[[Interaction], MaybeCoro[bool]]]) – The function to remove from the global application checks.

application_command_check(func)

A decorator that adds a global applications command check to the client.

A global check is similar to a check() that is applied on a per command basis except it is run before any command checks have been verified and applies to every application command the client has.

Note

This function can either be a regular function or a coroutine.

Similar to a application command check(), this takes a single parameter of type Interaction and can only raise exceptions inherited from ApplicationError.

Example

@client.application_command_check
def check_commands(interaction: Interaction) -> bool:
    return interaction.application_command.qualified_name in allowed_commands
application_command_before_invoke(coro)

A decorator that registers a coroutine as a pre-invoke hook.

A pre-invoke hook is called directly before the command is called. This makes it a useful function to set up database connections or any type of set up required.

This pre-invoke hook takes a sole parameter, a Interaction.

Note

The application_command_before_invoke() and application_command_after_invoke() hooks are only called if all checks pass without error. If any check fails, then the hooks are not called.

Parameters:

coro (coroutine) – The coroutine to register as the pre-invoke hook.

Raises:

TypeError – The coroutine passed is not actually a coroutine.

application_command_after_invoke(coro)

A decorator that registers a coroutine as a post-invoke hook.

A post-invoke hook is called directly after the command is called. This makes it a useful function to clean-up database connections or any type of clean up required. There may only be one global post-invoke hook.

This post-invoke hook takes a sole parameter, a Interaction.

Note

Similar to application_command_before_invoke(), this is not called unless checks succeed. This hook is, however, always called regardless of the internal command callback raising an error (i.e. ApplicationInvokeError). This makes it ideal for clean-up scenarios.

Parameters:

coro (coroutine) – The coroutine to register as the post-invoke hook.

Raises:

TypeError – The coroutine passed is not actually a coroutine.

AutoShardedClient

Attributes
Methods
class nextcord.AutoShardedClient(*, shard_ids=None, max_messages=1000, connector=None, proxy=None, proxy_auth=None, shard_id=None, shard_count=None, application_id=None, intents=<Intents value=3243773>, member_cache_flags=..., chunk_guilds_at_startup=..., status=None, activity=None, allowed_mentions=None, heartbeat_timeout=60.0, guild_ready_timeout=2.0, assume_unsync_clock=True, enable_debug_events=False, loop=None, lazy_load_commands=True, rollout_associate_known=True, rollout_delete_unknown=True, rollout_register_new=True, rollout_update_known=True, rollout_all_guilds=False, default_guild_ids=None)

A client similar to Client except it handles the complications of sharding for the user into a more manageable and transparent single process bot.

When using this client, you will be able to use it as-if it was a regular Client with a single shard when implementation wise internally it is split up into multiple shards. This allows you to not have to deal with IPC or other complicated infrastructure.

It is recommended to use this client only if you have surpassed at least 1000 guilds.

If no shard_count is provided, then the library will use the Bot Gateway endpoint call to figure out how many shards to use.

If a shard_ids parameter is given, then those shard IDs will be used to launch the internal shards. Note that shard_count must be provided if this is used. By default, when omitted, the client will launch shards from 0 to shard_count - 1.

shard_ids

An optional list of shard_ids to launch the shards with.

Type:

Optional[List[int]]

property latency

Measures latency between a HEARTBEAT and a HEARTBEAT_ACK in seconds.

This operates similarly to Client.latency() except it uses the average latency of every shard’s latency. To get a list of shard latency, check the latencies property. Returns nan if there are no shards ready.

Type:

float

property latencies

A list of latencies between a HEARTBEAT and a HEARTBEAT_ACK in seconds.

This returns a list of tuples with elements (shard_id, latency).

Type:

List[Tuple[int, float]]

get_shard(shard_id)

Optional[ShardInfo]: Gets the shard information at a given shard ID or None if not found.

property shards

Returns a mapping of shard IDs to their respective info object.

Type:

Mapping[int, ShardInfo]

await connect(*, reconnect=True)

This function is a coroutine.

Creates a websocket connection and lets the websocket listen to messages from Discord. This is a loop that runs the entire event system and miscellaneous aspects of the library. Control is not resumed until the WebSocket connection is terminated.

Parameters:

reconnect (bool) – If we should attempt reconnecting, either due to internet failure or a specific failure on Discord’s part. Certain disconnects that lead to bad state will not be handled (such as invalid sharding payloads or bad tokens).

Raises:

  • .GatewayNotFound – If the gateway to connect to Discord is not found. Usually if this is thrown then there is a Discord API outage.

  • .ConnectionClosed – The websocket connection has been terminated.

await close()

This function is a coroutine.

Closes the connection to Discord.

await change_presence(*, activity=None, status=None, shard_id=None)

This function is a coroutine.

Changes the client’s presence.

Example:

game = nextcord.Game("with the API")
await client.change_presence(status=nextcord.Status.idle, activity=game)

Changed in version 2.0: Removed the afk keyword-only parameter.

Parameters:

  • activity (Optional[BaseActivity]) – The activity being done. None if no currently active activity is done.

  • status (Optional[Status]) – Indicates what status to change to. If None, then Status.online is used.

  • shard_id (Optional[int]) – The shard_id to change the presence to. If not specified or None, then it will change the presence of every shard the bot can see.

Raises:

InvalidArgument – If the activity parameter is not of proper type.

is_ws_ratelimited()

bool: Whether the websocket is currently rate limited.

This can be useful to know when deciding whether you should query members using HTTP or via the gateway.

This implementation checks if any of the shards are rate limited. For more granular control, consider ShardInfo.is_ws_ratelimited().

Event Reference

This section outlines the different types of events listened by Client.

There are two ways to register an event, the first way is through the use of Client.event(). The second way is through subclassing Client and overriding the specific events. For example:

import nextcord

class MyClient(nextcord.Client):
    async def on_message(self, message):
        if message.author == self.user:
            return

        if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
            await message.channel.send('Hello World!')

If an event handler raises an exception, on_error() will be called to handle it, which defaults to print a traceback and ignoring the exception.

Warning

All the events must be a coroutine. If they aren’t, then you might get unexpected errors. To turn a function into a coroutine, they must be async def functions.

nextcord.on_connect()

Called when the client has successfully connected to Discord. This is not the same as the client being fully prepared, see on_ready() for that.

The warnings on on_ready() also apply.

nextcord.on_shard_connect(shard_id)

Similar to on_connect() except used by AutoShardedClient to denote when a particular shard ID has connected to Discord.

New in version 1.4.

Parameters:

shard_id (int) – The shard ID that has connected.

nextcord.on_disconnect()

Called when the client has disconnected from Discord, or a connection attempt to Discord has failed. This could happen either through the internet being disconnected, explicit calls to close, or Discord terminating the connection one way or the other.

This function can be called many times without a corresponding on_connect() call.

nextcord.on_shard_disconnect(shard_id)

Similar to on_disconnect() except used by AutoShardedClient to denote when a particular shard ID has disconnected from Discord.

New in version 1.4.

Parameters:

shard_id (int) – The shard ID that has disconnected.

nextcord.on_http_ratelimit(limit, remaining, reset_after, bucket, scope)

Called when a HTTP request in progress either exhausts its bucket or gets a 429 response. For more information on how a ratelimit bucket is defined, check out the [Discord API Docs](https://discord.dev/topics/rate-limits).

If the 429 response is a global ratelimit, then use on_global_http_ratelimit() instead.

New in version 2.4.

Parameters:

  • limit (int) – The amount of requests that have been made under the bucket that the request correlates to.

  • remaining (int) – The amount of remaining requests that can be made under the bucket that the request correlates to.

  • reset_after (float) – The amount of time we have to wait before making another request under the same bucket.

  • bucket (str) – The hash correlating to the bucket of the request from Discord. This hash denotes the rate limit being encountered.

  • scope (Optional[str]) – If we get a 429, the scope of the 429 response. This value can either be “user” (rate limit relating to the user) or “shared” (rate limit relating to a resource).

nextcord.on_global_http_ratelimit(retry_after)

Called when a HTTP request in progress gets a 429 response and the scope is global.

If the 429 response is a non-global ratelimit or you want to track when the bucket expires, then use on_http_ratelimit() instead.

New in version 2.4.

Parameters:

retry_after (float) – The amount of time we have to wait before making another request.

nextcord.on_ready()

Called when the client is done preparing the data received from Discord. Usually after login is successful and the Client.guilds and co. are filled up.

Warning

This function is not guaranteed to be the first event called. Likewise, this function is not guaranteed to only be called once. This library implements reconnection logic and thus will end up calling this event whenever a RESUME request fails.

nextcord.on_shard_ready(shard_id)

Similar to on_ready() except used by AutoShardedClient to denote when a particular shard ID has become ready.

Parameters:

shard_id (int) – The shard ID that is ready.

nextcord.on_resumed()

Called when the client has resumed a session.

nextcord.on_shard_resumed(shard_id)

Similar to on_resumed() except used by AutoShardedClient to denote when a particular shard ID has resumed a session.

New in version 1.4.

Parameters:

shard_id (int) – The shard ID that has resumed.

nextcord.on_error(event, *args, **kwargs)

Usually when an event raises an uncaught exception, a traceback is printed to stderr and the exception is ignored. If you want to change this behaviour and handle the exception for whatever reason yourself, this event can be overridden. Which, when done, will suppress the default action of printing the traceback.

The information of the exception raised and the exception itself can be retrieved with a standard call to sys.exc_info().

If you want exception to propagate out of the Client class you can define an on_error handler consisting of a single empty raise statement. Exceptions raised by on_error will not be handled in any way by Client.

Note

on_error will only be dispatched to Client.event().

It will not be received by Client.wait_for(), or, if used, Bots listeners such as listen() or listener().

nextcord.on_socket_event_type(event_type)

Called whenever a websocket event is received from the WebSocket.

This is mainly useful for logging how many events you are receiving from the Discord gateway.

New in version 2.0.

Parameters:

event_type (str) – The event type from Discord that is received, e.g. 'READY'.

nextcord.on_socket_raw_receive(msg)

Called whenever a message is completely received from the WebSocket, before it’s processed and parsed. This event is always dispatched when a complete message is received and the passed data is not parsed in any way.

This is only really useful for grabbing the WebSocket stream and debugging purposes.

This requires setting the enable_debug_events setting in the Client.

Note

This is only for the messages received from the client WebSocket. The voice WebSocket will not trigger this event.

Parameters:

msg (str) – The message passed in from the WebSocket library.

nextcord.on_socket_raw_send(payload)

Called whenever a send operation is done on the WebSocket before the message is sent. The passed parameter is the message that is being sent to the WebSocket.

This is only really useful for grabbing the WebSocket stream and debugging purposes.

This requires setting the enable_debug_events setting in the Client.

Note

This is only for the messages sent from the client WebSocket. The voice WebSocket will not trigger this event.

Parameters:

payload – The message that is about to be passed on to the WebSocket library. It can be bytes to denote a binary message or str to denote a regular text message.

nextcord.on_typing(channel, user, when)

Called when someone begins typing a message.

The channel parameter can be a abc.Messageable instance. Which could either be TextChannel, GroupChannel, or DMChannel.

If the channel is a TextChannel then the user parameter is a Member, otherwise it is a User.

This requires Intents.typing to be enabled.

Parameters:

  • channel (abc.Messageable) – The location where the typing originated from.

  • user (Union[User, Member]) – The user that started typing.

  • when (datetime.datetime) – When the typing started as an aware datetime in UTC.

nextcord.on_raw_typing(payload)

Called when someone begins typing a message. Unlike on_typing(), this is called regardless if the user can be found in the bot’s cache or not.

If the typing event is occuring in a guild, the member that started typing can be accessed via RawTypingEvent.member

This requires Intents.typing to be enabled.

Parameters:

payload (RawTypingEvent) – The raw typing payload.

nextcord.on_message(message)

Called when a Message is created and sent.

This requires Intents.messages to be enabled.

Warning

Your bot’s own messages and private messages are sent through this event. This can lead cases of ‘recursion’ depending on how your bot was programmed. If you want the bot to not reply to itself, consider checking the user IDs. Note that Bot does not have this problem.

Parameters:

message (Message) – The current message.

nextcord.on_message_delete(message)

Called when a message is deleted. If the message is not found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called. Messages might not be in cache if the message is too old or the client is participating in high traffic guilds.

If this occurs increase the max_messages parameter or use the on_raw_message_delete() event instead.

This requires Intents.messages to be enabled.

Parameters:

message (Message) – The deleted message.

nextcord.on_bulk_message_delete(messages)

Called when messages are bulk deleted. If none of the messages deleted are found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called. If individual messages were not found in the internal message cache, this event will still be called, but the messages not found will not be included in the messages list. Messages might not be in cache if the message is too old or the client is participating in high traffic guilds.

If this occurs increase the max_messages parameter or use the on_raw_bulk_message_delete() event instead.

This requires Intents.messages to be enabled.

Parameters:

messages (List[Message]) – The messages that have been deleted.

nextcord.on_raw_message_delete(payload)

Called when a message is deleted. Unlike on_message_delete(), this is called regardless of the message being in the internal message cache or not.

If the message is found in the message cache, it can be accessed via RawMessageDeleteEvent.cached_message

This requires Intents.messages to be enabled.

Parameters:

payload (RawMessageDeleteEvent) – The raw event payload data.

nextcord.on_raw_bulk_message_delete(payload)

Called when a bulk delete is triggered. Unlike on_bulk_message_delete(), this is called regardless of the messages being in the internal message cache or not.

If the messages are found in the message cache, they can be accessed via RawBulkMessageDeleteEvent.cached_messages

This requires Intents.messages to be enabled.

Parameters:

payload (RawBulkMessageDeleteEvent) – The raw event payload data.

nextcord.on_message_edit(before, after)

Called when a Message receives an update event. If the message is not found in the internal message cache, then these events will not be called. Messages might not be in cache if the message is too old or the client is participating in high traffic guilds.

If this occurs increase the max_messages parameter or use the on_raw_message_edit() event instead.

The following non-exhaustive cases trigger this event:

  • A message has been pinned or unpinned.

  • The message content has been changed.

  • The message has received an embed.

    • For performance reasons, the embed server does not do this in a “consistent” manner.

  • The message’s embeds were suppressed or unsuppressed.

  • A call message has received an update to its participants or ending time.

This requires Intents.messages to be enabled.

Parameters:

  • before (Message) – The previous version of the message.

  • after (Message) – The current version of the message.

nextcord.on_raw_message_edit(payload)

Called when a message is edited. Unlike on_message_edit(), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

If the message is found in the message cache, it can be accessed via RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message. The cached message represents the message before it has been edited. For example, if the content of a message is modified and triggers the on_raw_message_edit() coroutine, the RawMessageUpdateEvent.cached_message will return a Message object that represents the message before the content was modified.

Due to the inherently raw nature of this event, the data parameter coincides with the raw data given by the gateway.

Since the data payload can be partial, care must be taken when accessing stuff in the dictionary. One example of a common case of partial data is when the 'content' key is inaccessible. This denotes an “embed” only edit, which is an edit in which only the embeds are updated by the Discord embed server.

This requires Intents.messages to be enabled.

Parameters:

payload (RawMessageUpdateEvent) – The raw event payload data.

nextcord.on_reaction_add(reaction, user)

Called when a message has a reaction added to it. Similar to on_message_edit(), if the message is not found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called. Consider using on_raw_reaction_add() instead.

Note

To get the Message being reacted, access it via Reaction.message.

This requires Intents.reactions to be enabled.

Note

This doesn’t require Intents.members within a guild context, but due to Discord not providing updated user information in a direct message it’s required for direct messages to receive this event. Consider using on_raw_reaction_add() if you need this and do not otherwise want to enable the members intent.

Parameters:

  • reaction (Reaction) – The current state of the reaction.

  • user (Union[Member, User]) – The user who added the reaction.

nextcord.on_raw_reaction_add(payload)

Called when a message has a reaction added. Unlike on_reaction_add(), this is called regardless of the state of the internal message cache.

Parameters:

payload (RawReactionActionEvent) – The raw event payload data.

nextcord.on_reaction_remove(reaction, user)

Called when a message has a reaction removed from it. Similar to on_message_edit, if the message is not found in the internal message cache, then this event will not be called.

Note

To get the message being reacted, access it via Reaction.message.

This requires both Intents.reactions and Intents.members to be enabled.

Note

Consider using on_raw_reaction_remove() if you need this and do not want to enable the members intent.

Parameters:

  • reaction (Reaction) – The current state of the reaction.

Utility Functions

nextcord.utils.find(predicate, seq)

A helper to return the first element found in the sequence that meets the predicate. For example:

member = nextcord.utils.find(lambda m: m.name == 'Mighty', channel.guild.members)

would find the first Member whose name is ‘Mighty’ and return it. If an entry is not found, then None is returned.

This is different from filter() due to the fact it stops the moment it finds a valid entry.

Parameters:

  • predicate – A function that returns a boolean-like result.

  • seq (collections.abc.Iterable) – The iterable to search through.

nextcord.utils.get(iterable, **attrs)

A helper that returns the first element in the iterable that meets all the traits passed in attrs. This is an alternative for find().

When multiple attributes are specified, they are checked using logical AND, not logical OR. Meaning they have to meet every attribute passed in and not one of them.

To have a nested attribute search (i.e. search by x.y) then pass in x__y as the keyword argument.

If nothing is found that matches the attributes passed, then None is returned.

Examples

Basic usage:

member = nextcord.utils.get(message.guild.members, name='Foo')

Multiple attribute matching:

channel = nextcord.utils.get(guild.voice_channels, name='Foo', bitrate=64000)

Nested attribute matching:

channel = nextcord.utils.get(client.get_all_channels(), guild__name='Cool', name='general')
Parameters:

  • iterable – An iterable to search through.

  • **attrs – Keyword arguments that denote attributes to search with.

nextcord.utils.snowflake_time(id)

  • as_needed (bool) – Whether to escape the markdown characters as needed. This means that it does not escape extraneous characters if it’s not necessary, e.g. **hello** is escaped into \*\*hello** instead of \*\*hello\*\*. Note however that this can open you up to some clever syntax abuse. Defaults to False.

  • ignore_links (bool) – Whether to leave links alone when escaping markdown. For example, if a URL in the text contains characters such as _ then it will be left alone. This option is not supported with as_needed. Defaults to True.

Returns:

The text with the markdown special characters escaped with a slash.

Return type:

str

nextcord.utils.escape_mentions(text)

Async Iterator

Some API functions return an “async iterator”. An async iterator is something that is capable of being used in an async for statement.

These async iterators can be used as follows:

async for elem in channel.history():
    # do stuff with elem here

Certain utilities make working with async iterators easier, detailed below.

class nextcord.AsyncIterator

Represents the “AsyncIterator” concept. Note that no such class exists, it is purely abstract.

async for x in y

Iterates over the contents of the async iterator.

await next()

This function is a coroutine.

Advances the iterator by one, if possible. If no more items are found then this raises NoMoreItems.

await get(**attrs)

This function is a coroutine.

Similar to utils.get() except run over the async iterator.

Getting the last message by a user named ‘Dave’ or None:

msg = await channel.history().get(author__name='Dave')
await find(predicate)

This function is a coroutine.

Similar to utils.find() except run over the async iterator.

Unlike utils.find(), the predicate provided can be a coroutine.

Getting the last audit log with a reason or None:

def predicate(event):
    return event.reason is not None

event = await guild.audit_logs().find(predicate)
Parameters:

predicate – The predicate to use. Could be a coroutine.

Returns:

The first element that returns True for the predicate or None.

await flatten()

This function is a coroutine.

Flattens the async iterator into a list with all the elements.

Returns:

A list of every element in the async iterator.

Return type:

list

chunk(max_size)

Collects items into chunks of up to a given maximum size. Another AsyncIterator is returned which collects items into lists of a given size. The maximum chunk size must be a positive integer.

New in version 1.6.

Collecting groups of users:

async for leader, *users in reaction.users().chunk(3):
    ...

Warning

The last chunk collected may not be as large as max_size.

Parameters:

max_size – The size of individual chunks.

Return type:

AsyncIterator

map(func)

This is similar to the built-in map function. Another AsyncIterator is returned that executes the function on every element it is iterating over. This function can either be a regular function or a coroutine.

Creating a content iterator:

def transform(message):
    return message.content

async for content in channel.history().map(transform):
    message_length = len(content)
Parameters:

func – The function to call on every element. Could be a coroutine.

Return type:

AsyncIterator

filter(predicate)

This is similar to the built-in filter function. Another AsyncIterator is returned that filters over the original async iterator. This predicate can be a regular function or a coroutine.

Getting messages by non-bot accounts:

def predicate(message):
    return not message.author.bot

async for elem in channel.history().filter(predicate):
    ...
Parameters:

predicate – The predicate to call on every element. Could be a coroutine.

Return type:

AsyncIterator

Webhook Support

nextcord offers support for creating, editing, and executing webhooks through the Webhook class.

Webhook

Attributes
Methods
class nextcord.Webhook

Represents an asynchronous Discord webhook.

Webhooks are a form to send messages to channels in Discord without a bot user or authentication.

There are two main ways to use Webhooks. The first is through the ones received by the library such as Guild.webhooks() and TextChannel.webhooks(). The ones received by the library will automatically be bound using the library’s internal HTTP session.

The second form involves creating a webhook object manually using the from_url() or partial() classmethods.

For example, creating a webhook from a URL and using aiohttp:

from nextcord import Webhook
import aiohttp

async def foo():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        webhook = Webhook.from_url('url-here', session=session)
        await webhook.send('Hello World', username='Foo')

For a synchronous counterpart, see SyncWebhook.

x == y

await send(content=..., *, username=..., avatar_url=..., tts=False, file=..., files=..., embed=..., embeds=..., allowed_mentions=..., view=..., thread=..., wait=False, delete_after=None, ephemeral=None, flags=None, suppress_embeds=None)

This function is a coroutine.

Sends a message using the webhook.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through str(content).

To upload a single file, the file parameter should be used with a single File object.

If the embed parameter is provided, it must be of type Embed and it must be a rich embed type. You cannot mix the embed parameter with the embeds parameter, which must be a list of Embed objects to send.

Changed in version 2.4: ephemeral can now accept None to indicate that flags should be used.

Parameters:

  • content (str) – The content of the message to send.

  • wait (bool) – Whether the server should wait before sending a response. This essentially means that the return type of this function changes from None to a WebhookMessage if set to True. If the type of webhook is WebhookType.application then this is always set to True.

  • username (str) – The username to send with this message. If no username is provided then the default username for the webhook is used.

  • avatar_url (str) – The avatar URL to send with this message. If no avatar URL is provided then the default avatar for the webhook is used. If this is not a string then it is explicitly cast using str.

  • tts (bool) – Indicates if the message should be sent using text-to-speech.
