dcactivity 1.0.0

A python module to access and utilize Beta Discord VC Party features like YouTube, Poker Night, etc. with your Bot

DCActivity

An unofficial module used to access Discord's Beta features like YouTube, Poker Night, etc. by your Bot

Installation

• Python 3.8 or higher is required
• discord.py V1.5.0 or higher is required

To install the library, simply run the following command in your terminal:

# Windows
py -m pip install dcactivity

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install dcactivity

Usage

To use the library, you must first import it into your script and create a new instance of the DCActivity class:

from discord.ext import commands
from dcactivity import DCActivity

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
bot.dcact = DCActivity(bot)

To create the invite link, you need to use create_link() function:

link = await bot.dcact.create_link(voice_channel, app_id)

• voice_channel: The Voice channel you want to create the invite link for. Can be Channel ID or discord.VoiceChannel object

• app_id: The Application ID of the Voice Channel game. For this, you need to follow either of the three steps:

  • Import DCApplication from dcactivity:

    from dcactivity import DCApplication
    
    link = await bot.dcact.create_link(voice_channel, DCApplication.youtube) # or DCApplication.poker, etc.
    

  • Directly use Application Name or ID (use ID only if you know the exact ID of an activity):

    link = await bot.dcact.create_link(voice_channel, 'youtube') # or poker, chess, etc.
    

Examples

Bot:

# bot.py

from discord import VoiceChannel
from discord.ext import commands
from dcactivity import DCActivity, DCApplication

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
dcactivity = DCActivity(bot) # or "bot.dcactivity = DCActivity(bot)" to use it as a BotVar

@bot.command()
async def youtube(ctx, channel: VoiceChannel):
    link = await dcactivity.get_link(channel, DCApplication.youtube)
    await ctx.send(link)

bot.run('token')

Bot with Cogs:

• bot:

  # bot.py
  
  from discord import VoiceChannel
  from discord.ext import commands
  from dcactivity import DCActivity
  
  bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!')
  bot.dcactivity = DCActivity(bot)
  
  bot.load_extension('cogs.cog') # Simple Example with Cog
  bot.load_extension('cogs.cog_advanced') # Advanced Example with Cog
  
  bot.run('token')
  

• cog (simple):

  # cog.py
  
  from discord import VoiceChannel
  from discord.ext import commands
  from dcactivity import DCApplication
  
  
  class MyCog(commands.Cog):
      def __init__(self, bot):
          self.bot = bot
      
      @commands.command()
      async def youtube(self, ctx, channel: VoiceChannel):
          link = await self.bot.dcactivity.get_link(channel, DCApplication.youtube)
          await ctx.send(link)
  
  def setup(bot):
      bot.add_cog(MyCog(bot))
  

• cog (advanced):

  # cog_advanced.py
  
  from typing import Optional
  from discord import VoiceChannel
  from discord.ext import commands
  from dcactivity import DCApplication
  from dcactivity.errors import InvalidChannel
  
  
  class MyAdvancedCog(commands.Cog):
      def __init__(self, bot):
          self.bot = bot
  
      @commands.command()
      async def custom_link(self, ctx, channel=None):
          if not channel:
              if not ctx.author.voice:
                  return await ctx.send('You need to connect to a voice channel first')
              if not isinstance(ctx.author.voice.channel, VoiceChannel):
                  return await ctx.send('This feature is not supported in Stage Channels.')
              _channel = ctx.author.voice.channel
          else:
              _channel = channel
          
          link = await self.bot.dcactivity.get_link(
              ctx.author.voice.channel, DCApplication.youtube, max_age=0, max_uses=10)
          await ctx.send(link)
  
      @custom_link.error
      async def custom_link_error(self, ctx, exc):
          exc = getattr(exc, 'original', exc)
          if isinstance(exc, InvalidChannel):
              await ctx.send('Invalid Channel given as argument.')
  
  def setup(bot):
      bot.add_cog(MyAdvancedCog(bot))
  

Note

• A minimum of one person needs to click on the invite link to start the Voice Channel Activity.
• Activity resets when everyone exits. Though it can again be joined from the same link but from the starting and not resuming.
• Games like chess/betrayal may not work in Stable Client for now. To use them, you need install Discord PTB or Discord Canary Client or use them in the web browser.
