Can I run it without opening Discord? (Node.js)

[BitMap4]

I want to run a simple script, but without opening the app.

let channelId = '' // channel id
for (i = 0; i < 35; i++ ) {
    await api.sendMessage(channelId, 'pls daily')
    let randomDelay = 86400000 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 10 * 60000)
    await delay(randomDelay) // approx 1 day
}

Is it possible with this API?
(I am new to programming and haven't learnt much of backend js)

Hey, this project uses the Discord console as it's easily usable and CORS-friendly.

You could achieve similar functionality using Node.js.

---

EDIT:

I added this in a gist, just clone it!

git clone https://gist.github.com/6063278cbc9267e7691c084c67176114.git discord-self-bot-console-nodejs
cd discord-self-bot-console-nodejs
npm i

Then, in index.js just add your auth token at the bottom and set if the account is a bot or not. Replace the channel id in the script.

Run with

node index.js

---

Initialize a project

npm init -y

Install node-fetch

npm i node-fetch@cjs

Copy the script, insert your Discord token at the bottom.

Remove lines related to functions used in browser (the Discord client is a browser! Using Electron)

discord-self-bot-console/index.js

Lines 87 to 100 in 31e687e

	var gid = '' // Current guild id
	var cid = '' // Current channel id
	// Call this to update `cid` and `gid` to current channel and guild id
	var id = (log = true) => {
	gid = window.location.href.split('/').slice(4)[0]
	cid = window.location.href.split('/').slice(4)[1]
	if (log) {
	console.log(`\`gid\` was set to the guild id you are currently looking at (${gid})`)
	console.log(`\`cid\` was set to the channel id you are currently looking at (${cid})`)
	}
	}
	id(false)

Add this at the top

const fetch = require('node-fetch')

Done!
Just add your script at the bottom! Wrap it in an async function to use async/await.

...
  var authHeader = 'blablabla'
}
// End of api

// Your script
;(async () => {
let channelId = '' // channel id
for (i = 0; i < 35; i++ ) {
    await api.sendMessage(channelId, 'pls daily')
    let randomDelay = 86400000 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 10 * 60000)
    await delay(randomDelay) // approx 1 day
}
})()

Just tested it, it works perfectly ;)

I tried this but got an error-

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1080
      throw new ERR_REQUIRE_ESM(filename, parentPath, packageJsonPath);
      ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: <path>/dc-self-bot/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of <path>/dc-self-bot/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js from <path>/dc-self-bot/index.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead rename <path>/dc-self-bot/node_modules/node-fetch/src/index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from <path>/dc-self-bot/node_modules/node-fetch/package.json.

It's because node-fetch now ships ESM only. My bad!

Use

npm i node-fetch@cjs

Works perfectly. Thanks a lot!

I want to use this script on the same pc with 3 different accounts at the same time. But for some reason the other 2 don't work any more. I tried using 3 different index.js, even cloning the project 3 times in different directions. The weird thing is that the other 2 still log stuff like usual and give no erros. Do you have any idea why?

[soujiokita]

Still working thru console browser, but not work in nodejs anymore
{ message: '401: Unauthorized', code: 0 } why

[rigwild]

This was not meant to be used with a bot account. I just tried to be sure and i get the same error as you (HTTP 401).

I got it working by prefixing the token with Bot and setting an accepted user agent.

I updated the gist to do it for you :) https://gist.github.com/rigwild/6063278cbc9267e7691c084c67176114

Note for future readers: I tried to run it in the Discord client but it doesn't work as the client forces the user agent, the server then rejects the request. Run in node.js!

beautiful.. thanks, i just never using selfbot so i thought it token from bot

[alcat88]

Hi, i have this issue too (401: Unauthorized) but the token and the channelId are both correct (i tested the script before on the console and it works), any suggestion? Thanks!

Are are using a bot? And if yes are you using the latest version of the nodejs script? https://gist.github.com/rigwild/6063278cbc9267e7691c084c67176114

Findout the problem, I didn't set to false the variable isBotAccount...
Sorry, never do this stuff after midnight :')
