smdb-api 0.4.1

API package for Server Monitoring Discord Bot

Server monitoring Discord bot API

This API can be used to interface with the server monitoring Discord bot only if the API is enabled on it. For this, the bot needs to run on the same PC, or the API needs to be set up to allow outside connections.

Usage

To create an api, import the package, and use the required arguments.

import smdb_api
API = smdb_api.API("Test", "80716cbfd9f90428cd308acc193b4b58519a4f10a7440b97aaffecf75e63ecec")

Avaleable arguments:

• name: string | Used to identify the application to the api server.
• key: string | Used to verify identity with the api server.
• ip: string (optional) | Used to set the api server's IP address.
• port: integer (optional) | Used to set the api server's listening port.
• update_function: function (optional) | Sets a callback function to call, when the api server updates.

To initiate the connection, use the validate command. The validate function can get a timeout limit, so it won't hault the program, if the api server won't ansvear within a set time.

API.validate()
server_status = API.get_status()

To add a command to the bot, use the 'create_function' command, like shown here:

[...]
def my_callback(message):
    #Does something

API.create_function("MyScript", "Shome text to help\nUsage: &MyScript <User input>\nCategory: SERVER", my_callback)

To send a message to someone, use the 'send_message' command:

[...]
discordId="##################"
API.send_message("Test message to a channel", discordId)
print(f"I sent a message to {API.get_username(discordId)}!")

Closing the connection safely is easy with the 'close' command.

[...]
API.close("Some reason for the bot logger.")
