also wondering how this script can be changed to send an image instead
Cool, nice gist, but I have an error {"code": 40001, "message": "Unauthorized"}.
I've added bot to the server and set premissions to send messages.
Do you know how to fix it without using any libraries?
@MxShift you need to connect to the API via a gateway before it will let you send messages, it says:
Before using this endpoint, you must connect to and identify with a gateway at least once.
These links should help

@40163650 Thanks. I found that webhooks is easier solution for just sending messages.
import json
import requests
def sendToDiscord(webhook_url, message):
"""
Post a message to discord API via a Webhook.
"""
payload = {
"content": message
}
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}
response = requests.post(webhook_url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
return response
@p0nt using webhook, images can be send just by adding url to image to payload
payload = {
"content": message,
"embeds": [
{
"image": {
"url": image_url
}
}
]
}
Also full possible structure of webhook message you can find here.
