shadowcord

A fork of discord.py 1.7.3 originally made by Rapptz for selfbots and compatibility with modern Python

Project's goal was to bring discord.py 1.7.3 to python 3.13+ while improving the selfbot stealth aspect, new updates are not planned. if you would like to use an maintained discord libraries i recommend using Discord.py for bots and Discord.py-self for selfbots

Features

• fully compatible with python 3.9 through 3.14 (including 3.13+, where audioop was removed from the standard library) and newer aiohttp versions
• restored the discord.webhook and discord.ui packages that were accidentally missing from the published source tree
• modern pyproject.toml packaging (replaces the legacy setup.py)
• event loop handling updated for Python 3.12+ (no more deprecated implicit asyncio.get_event_loop() usage)
• improved stealthy requests for user accounts
• Rotates realistic browser User-Agent and X-Super-Properties headers for every request
• WebSocket Identify payload mimics real Discord clients/browsers, with randomized client/OS info

This fork tries to not change that much how it works compared to discord.py, that means you can use the documentation for 1.7.3 created by Rapptz

discord.py 1.7.3 documentation

Install shadowcord on your computer using:

pip install shadowcordv2

With voice support (recommended, includes the audioop backport on Python 3.13+):

pip install "shadowcordv2[voice]"

If you had the regular discord.py installed, uninstall it first so the two packages don't conflict:

pip uninstall discord.py
pip install shadowcordv2

Note: the PyPI package is called shadowcordv2, but the import name stays discord (same as discord.py):

import discord

Due to the fork being derived from discord.py 1.7.3, most selfbots written for that discord.py version will work with no changes.
