nextcord

Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

A modern, easy to use, feature-rich, and async ready API wrapper for Discord written in Python.

Fork notice

This is a fork of the Discord.py library, which unfortunately has been officially discontinued at 28th August 2021. Nextcord will replace Discord.py, with continued support and features, to still offer former Discord.py-users a stable API wrapper for their bots.

Key Features

Modern Pythonic API using async and await.
Proper rate limit handling.
Optimised in both speed and memory.

Installing

Python 3.8 or higher is required

To install the library without full voice support, you can just run the following command:

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U nextcord

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U nextcord

Otherwise to get voice support you should run the following command:

# Linux/macOS
python3 -m pip install -U "nextcord[voice]"

# Windows
py -3 -m pip install -U nextcord[voice]

To install the development version, do the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/nextcord/nextcord/
$ cd nextcord
$ python3 -m pip install -U .[voice]

Optional Packages

PyNaCl (for voice support)

Please note that on Linux installing voice you must install the following packages via your favourite package manager (e.g. apt, dnf, etc) before running the above commands:

libffi-dev (or libffi-devel on some systems)
python-dev (e.g. python3.6-dev for Python 3.6)

Quick Example

from nextcord.ext import commands


bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='$')

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.reply('Pong!')

bot.run('token')
