# Discord Webhooks for Python 🔗 🐍

[](https://travis-ci.org/JamesIves/discord-webhooks) [](https://github.com/JamesIves/discord-webhooks/issues)

Simple module for Python which allows for sending of webhooks to a [Discord server](https://discordapp.com/).

## Installation Steps 💽
The `Discord-Webhooks` module can be installed into your project via Pip.

```
$ pip install Discord-Webhooks
```

## Getting Started :airplane:

Import the package into your project and initialize it to get started. You must pass the [webhook URL you obtained from your Discord channel in as the argument](https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/228383668-Intro-to-Webhooks).

```python
from discord_webhooks import DiscordWebhooks

# Webhook URL for your Discord channel.
WEBHOOK_URL = 'http://discord.gg/...'

# Initialize the webhook class and attaches data.
webhook = DiscordWebhooks(WEBHOOK_URL)

# Sets some content for a basic message.
webhook.set_content(content='Montezuma!')

# Triggers the payload to be sent to Discord.
webhook.send()

```

If you'd like to send a message attachment you can do so.


```python
from discord_webhooks import DiscordWebhooks

# Webhook URL for your Discord channel.
WEBHOOK_URL = 'http://discord.gg/...'

webhook = DiscordWebhooks(WEBHOOK_URL)

webhook.set_content(content='The best cat ever is...', title='Montezuma!', description='Seriously!', \
url='http://github.com/JamesIves', color=0xF58CBA, timestamp='2018-11-09T04:10:42.039Z')

# Attaches an image
webhook.set_image(url='https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/10888441?s=460&v=4')

# Attaches a thumbnail
webhook.set_thumbnail(url='https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/10888441?s=460&v=4')

# Attaches an author
webhook.set_author(name='James Ives', url='https://jamesiv.es', icon_url='https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/10888441?s=460&v=4')

# Attaches a footer
webhook.set_footer(text='Footer', icon_url='https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/10888441?s=460&v=4')
