discord-clyde 1.1.0

Build rich Discord Webhook API interactions with a typed Python API.

Clyde supports plain messages, Components, and rich Embeds for the Discord Webhook API. It validates each payload and sends it through synchronous or asynchronous HTTP methods.

Features

• Type annotations across the public API
• Input type and field validation with msgspec
• Plain content, every webhook-compatible Discord Component, and field-level Embed controls
• Helpers for Discord-flavored Markdown and timestamps
• Synchronous and asynchronous HTTP requests through niquests
• Automatic retries when Discord returns a rate limit
• API documentation generated with Zensical

Installation

[!IMPORTANT] Clyde requires Python 3.11 or later.
