Obtaining client ID using bot token

[tekulvw]

I contribute to an open source bot project designed for discord users to run their own (small) customized bot on their personal servers. With the introduction of bot accounts we've had a lot of users come to the support server asking how to get their bot to join a server. We'd like to be able to automatically get the client ID using the auth token so this initial set up process and first server join can be a bit more streamlined for the end user.

I believe we're planning on adding something to the manage applications page that allows generate a URL

Yeah, Jake told me about that, but this is so that a bot would have the capability to generate an oauth link itself (without permissions of course)

Will be available soon at:

https://discordapp.com/api/oauth2/applications/@me when using the bot token, will return the bot's app id, name, icon and description in the following format:

{
  "description": "Test",
  "icon": null,
  "id": "172150183260323840",
  "name": "Baba O-Riley"
}

Will close this issue when it's deployed & documented.

Just wondering, in your example given there isn't a client ID. Have you guys decided against that?

[meew0]

There is...? The id property would be the client ID.

[Kowlin]

Ah my mistake, I thought the Client ID was smaller

This has been deployed. Leaving this open until the relevant docs are created. PRs welcome :D
