logcord 0.1.1

A lightweight, thread-safe logging handler for sending Python logs to Discord via webhooks.

Discord Webhook Logger 📝👾

A lightweight, thread-safe Python logging handler that streams your application logs directly to a Discord channel using Webhooks.

Perfect for monitoring background tasks, web scrapers, automated pipelines, or server alerts without needing heavy monitoring infrastructure.

Installation

pip install logcord

How It Works Under the Hood

The DiscordWebhookHandler is designed to have zero impact on your main application's performance.

1. Non-Blocking Execution: When you call logger.info(), the handler immediately places the formatted message into a thread-safe queue.Queue and returns control to your application.
2. Background Processing: A daemon thread runs in the background, waking up every flush_interval (default 3 seconds) to pull all pending logs from the queue.
3. Smart Batching & Chunking: The background worker stitches multiple short logs together into a single message to minimize HTTP requests. If a single log (like a massive traceback) exceeds Discord's character limit, it automatically chunks it into multiple sequential messages.
4. Rate Limit Handling: If Discord returns a HTTP 429 Too Many Requests status, the handler pauses execution for the exact retry_after period requested by Discord before continuing, ensuring no logs are dropped.

Usage: Dual Logging

For production scripts like web scraping pipelines, automated pricing tools, or forecasting systems, you typically want to log to the console for local debugging, while sending only critical warnings and errors to Discord.

Here is how you configure the handler to only forward WARNING level and above to Discord:

import os
from logcord import setup_logger, shutdown_logs

# 1. Setup logger using simple strings
webhook_url = os.environ.get("DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL")
logger = setup_logger(
    name="AutomationApp", 
    webhook_url=webhook_url,
    console_level="DEBUG",
    discord_level="ERROR"
)

# 2. Use standard logging methods directly
logger.info("Script started.")
logger.error("Something went wrong!")

# 3. Call logcord's custom shutdown wrapper
shutdown_logs()
