Learning to create professional discord bots using python from FreeCodeCamp This repository will store the code that I will write for practice!
=> main.py file contains a simple bot. This bot contains some simple commands to engage with users and motivate them. It also shares motivational quotes from https://api.api-ninjas.com/v1/quotes?category=inspirational
=> polling-bot.py file contains the code for a bot that can help users in conducting polls in the discord server.
- Install the required dependencies using
pip install -r requirements.txt - Than you can simply use python to start the bot
python main.pyfor the 1st one andpython polling-bot.pyfor the 2nd one
The Polling Bot allows you to create polls in your Discord server, collect votes, and see the results automatically after a set time period.
Create a poll with up to 10 choices. The bot will track votes and announce the result after the poll ends.
Command Structure: /poll <duration_in_hours> ...
Example: /poll "What's your favorite color?" 2 "Red" "Blue" "Green"
This creates a poll with the question "What's your favorite color?" that lasts for 2 hours, and offers the choices: "Red," "Blue," and "Green."
After you run the command, the bot will:
- Delete the original command message to keep the chat clean.
- Post the poll with numbered emoji reactions (1️⃣, 2️⃣, etc.) for each choice.
- Send a DM to the poll creator to confirm the poll was created successfully.
- The poll will remain open for the specified number of hours (e.g., 2 hours in the example above).
- You can create polls lasting from a few minutes to several hours.
- You need to provide at least 2 choices and no more than 10 choices for the poll.
- If you try to provide fewer than 2 choices or more than 10 choices, the bot will notify you.
- Users can vote by reacting to the poll message with the corresponding numbered emoji (e.g., 1️⃣ for the first choice, 2️⃣ for the second, etc.).
- Each user can vote once per poll.
When the poll time ends, the bot will automatically:
- Calculate the votes for each option.
- Announce the winning choice in the same channel where the poll was created.
- Send the poll creator a DM with the results, including the votes for each option.
Tie Result: If there is a tie between two or more options, the bot will declare a tie in the poll results.
No Winner: If all options have the same number of votes, the bot will announce that the poll ended in a tie between all options.
Make sure your Direct Messages (DMs) are enabled if you want to receive notifications from the bot regarding poll creation and results.
