discordforge 0.2.0

Python client for DiscordForge REST API

discordforge

Python package for interacting with the DiscordForge REST API.

discord.py Compatibility

This package does not conflict with discord.py imports:

• discord.py uses import discord
• this package uses import discordforge

Use AsyncDiscordForgeClient in discord.py bots to avoid blocking the event loop.

Install

pip install discordforge

For development tools:

pip install "discordforge[dev]"

Quick Start

from discordforge import DiscordForgeClient

client = DiscordForgeClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

# POST /api/bots/stats
client.post_bot_stats(server_count=1500, shard_count=5, user_count=50000)

# GET /api/bots/:id/votes/check?userId=...
vote = client.check_vote(bot_id="YOUR_BOT_ID", user_id="USER_ID")
print(vote.has_voted, vote.voted_at, vote.next_vote_at)

# GET /api/bots/:id (public endpoint, no API key required)
public_client = DiscordForgeClient()
bot = public_client.get_bot(bot_id="YOUR_BOT_ID")
print(bot.id, bot.name, bot.vote_count, bot.server_count)

# POST /api/external/bots/commands
result = client.sync_commands(
    commands=[
        {
            "name": "ban",
            "description": "Ban a user from the server",
            "usage": "/ban <user> [reason]",
            "category": "Moderation",
        },
        {
            "name": "play",
            "description": "Play a song in your voice channel",
            "type": 1,
            "options": [
                {"name": "query", "type": 3, "required": True},
            ],
        },
    ]
)
print(result.success, result.synced)

Easy Command Sync (discord.py)

Use one call to map and sync your slash commands:

import os
from discordforge import DiscordForgeClient

forge = DiscordForgeClient(api_key=os.environ["DISCORDFORGE_API_KEY"])

# command_source can be bot.tree or an iterable of command objects.
result = forge.sync_from_discordpy(
    command_source=bot.tree,
    category="General",
    limit=200,        # auto-truncate to API max by default
    strict_limit=False,
)
print(result.success, result.synced)

discord.py Async Example

import os
import discord
from discord.ext import tasks
from discordforge import AsyncDiscordForgeClient

bot = discord.Client(intents=discord.Intents.default())
forge = AsyncDiscordForgeClient(api_key=os.environ["DISCORDFORGE_API_KEY"])

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    post_stats.start()

@tasks.loop(minutes=5)
async def post_stats():
    # Keep this endpoint at 1 request per 5 minutes.
    await forge.post_bot_stats(
        server_count=len(bot.guilds),
        shard_count=getattr(bot, "shard_count", None),
    )

@bot.event
async def setup_hook():
    # Easy one-call command sync from discord.py command tree.
    await forge.sync_from_discordpy(command_source=bot.tree, category="General")

Environment Variable Example

import os
from discordforge import DiscordForgeClient

client = DiscordForgeClient(api_key=os.environ["DISCORDFORGE_API_KEY"])

Error Handling

from discordforge import DiscordForgeClient, DiscordForgeAPIError, DiscordForgeValidationError

client = DiscordForgeClient(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

try:
    client.post_bot_stats(server_count=1500)
except DiscordForgeValidationError as exc:
    print("Invalid input:", exc)
except DiscordForgeAPIError as exc:
    print("DiscordForge request failed:", exc.status_code, exc)

Notes

• sync_commands accepts both DiscordForge custom command format and raw Discord API slash command format.
• sync_from_discordpy maps command objects (name, description, options) and syncs in one call.
• The client sends both Authorization and x-api-key headers when authentication is required.
• sync_commands enforces DiscordForge limits (1..200 commands).
• For discord.py, prefer AsyncDiscordForgeClient to keep the bot loop responsive.
