Create Your Own Discord Bot in Python 3.12 Tutorial (2024 Edition) 

Source code: github.com/federicoazzu/discord_tutorial_2024

I had been searching for a proper tutorial on a discord bot using python, but I couldn't find one since every video was outdated , and the documentation also made no sense. Thanks for the great work.

As someone who doesn't even own a computer and is borrowing one let alone how to code, this worked flawlessly. It's really easy once you get over the first few hurdles of installing everything correctly

This helped me a lot thank you.Keep up the work it really high quality

I have never heard of the walrus operator. Just that alone made watching this video worth my while.

Jag är så glad, folk som dig är göra guider för python liksom andra kodning språk! Kärlek från Sverige!

Thank you so much for this tutorial, I followed along and created my own Discord Bot!

Hi, this video was very helpful to me. I hope you will continue to bring content regarding creating a discord bot in python and in a future video you will discuss the use of embeds, welcome messages, buttons, moderation functions and so on. I have so many questions haha

I made it!🙂Thank you. I got my first bot running.

This tutorial is by far the most useful one for starting a general simple discord bot! Really appreciate it. Thank you !

Thanks for the video and all the contents you’ve created. I’ve recently bought a couple of Udemy courses from you and they’re amazing. Congrats.

Great video! Especially for programmers who are just getting into their programming journey.

Coded my first discord bot today with your video, now i'm using the code to learn further into adding more features and stuff to my bot! thank you for the super easy to follow tutorial

0:35 Dont use `discord`, use `discord.py`, `discord` is a mirror package, even the README in PyPi shows this warning. 8:42 Please, explain better Intents, Intents are the different things your bot wants to recieve from the Gateway & API, not some sort of permissions... 10:30 No!! Check if the message has any embeds or attachments rather than just saying that intents are not set up. 14:22 No need for the `elif`s, if any `if` block check is met then it will return something... I can't really explain myself here but no needs did elif 18:20 No need for those variables... 19:58 Why do you still have that "one liner check"? Just use if blocks, it makes readability better Also, why make a `responses.py` file? I thought you were using clean python practises, and that is NOT a good python practise. Anyways, good vid

This is amazing! thank you for such a lovely tutorial!

literally the best tutorial ever... worked like a charm. thank you!!

Thank you for this so much! Now I am well on my way to creating an AI chatbot using python for discord!

this was very easy i have barely ever coded with pyuthon but i have learned alot jsut becyse of this tutorial thank you so much!

Awesome tutorial, thank you!

followed the tutorial but the bot doesn't response in the channel, only private messages. can you help?

Great job, well presented - thanks!

I made my first bot , i will say big thank you for all! ❤

This was realy helpful thanks!

Nicely presented!

Thanks for this awesome project

Im 12 y/o and this helped me a lot ,thanks!

So, it says everything is all good and up and running. Everything is exact as the video. But when I text in the channels, it won't respond. But when I text using the ? then thats when it works and goes to DMs. What's wrong? Why won't it work normal?

tanks this video a lot. ❤you can't believe how long i debug my program just because missing click message content

Can you make a tutorial, how to add slash commands to THIS Version of a Discord Bot? But good job, thanks

Hi, I really liked the video! Can you show us how to implement a RU-vid video tracking functionality (like Pingcord)? I've looked online but I can't find a way to do this since I'm not the owner of the RU-vid Account whose videos I wanna be reminded of. Thanks :) EDIT: Also slash commands please!!

Im print "TOKEN", but the out is: "None"

Thanks alot, this really helped. How do i host it, so it keeps running?

I code in C# and that Walrus operator blew my mind

when I try to make the .env file it just turns into a text file and everything in it is gray and doesnt work

I don't think he understands how much some Linux users love the terminal. xD I'm legit working on a file manager for it. You may be asking why, and I'll tell you the reason is "why not"?

When I run my program I don't get the red messages.

I tried your code and i got a error on line 5 theres no module named discord

Great video! I am a bit confused what the .venv file is for though?

If you get the error with "intempered token was passed" or something, you have to save the file after putting in the token in .env. This will fix it

New into bots and python. Thanks for the tutorial 🩷

I need help!! When running the code at main() it says "ImportError: cannot import name 'get_response' from 'responses'"

thank you for this tutorial, i have been looking for a good discord bot tutorial, but for some reason the "import os" section does not work as ""os" is not accessed by Pylance"

yo, i got an error saying its an ssl error, how do i fix, i am on MacOS 15 Python 3.13

I have an error AttributeError: 'Intents' object has no attribute 'message_content'. Has the docs changed because I am getting it when I run your code and the one I wrote

Received an error saying: 'token' is not identified. When I look through the Discord_Token i noticed it's not highlighted in green like in the tutorial, but otherwise I followed everything normally. The code does print my token as it did in the tutorial. Is there a fix? Please and thank you Edit: I figured it out.

Thanks for the information. I have now created my Discord Bot and its online but it wont respond to any message I type. Can you please re-upload this video and also add the chapter "Fix the bot when not responding to any messages"

Hi! Really love the tutorial. Was just wondering, cause when I try to run the script I get a error message saying "asyncio.run() cannot be called from an running event loop", I just can't figure out what is causing this error.

Thanks!

thanks man

For some reason, the bot won't go offline, how do i make it go offline??

there is no get_response(function) :

This tutorial is outdated. The developer portal has already changed!!!!!!!

Thank you

i did it, all works well. except the bot endlessly responds to itself. it does not do that for default response for only for (hello and bye )though

my bot just never responds, ive gone through tut twice now and it just ignores me

14:11 why dont you use " instead of ' it means you dont have to do the \

I followed the steps to this tutorial to a T, but I get stuck on the SSL certification. It states that my certification isn't valid, however I already updated it and all

Hello I have some problems, can someone help me? Unresolved reference 'dotenv' Unresolved reference 'load_dotenv' Unused import statement 'from discord import Intents, Client, Message' Unused import statement 'from discord import Intents, Client, Message' Unused import statement 'from discord import Intents, Client, Message'

Brother whenever I'm trying to print the Token it's printing out None....Do you know the reason?

That's work, but only on my channel where I'm as an owner, but it didn't work on my friend channel where I'm as an admin and my friend as an owner. I don't really understand discord 😢

im stuck at 7:35 from dotnev import load_dotnev I have a bug saying Cannot find reference 'load_dotenv' in '__init__.py' I can't figure out how to fix it

I tried to gave it the permissions it didnt let me and sent me to a website that said "page not found".

Too many one liner which makes it super hard for normal devs to read the code. Remember a code is written once and read like 10 times. Always write one more line but keep it readable. I say this as a senior developer.

I recieved SO many errors and when I clicked the link to show me where it was it pulled up a bunch of random code that I never wrote nor could I edit it because it was read only. It went down into thousands of lines of code. I think it has something to do with the new intent stuff but I have no clue what to do about it. I coded everything exactly as is in the video. Can someone help?

my bot doesn't seem to be responding back but all the code and setup is the same? Only difference is I used Visual Studio Code

When I run the code. It has no result. What should I check

from dot_env import load_dotenv ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dot_env'

My venv is not showing up. I've searched everywhere and I still don't know why. Anyone have a solution?

what is the between pip install discord and discordpy

How can I make it to show the commands available like any other discord bot?

pip is not working for me what else can I use?

pip isnt working for me do i have to download something for it?

from dotenv import load_dotenv ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv' help me

i have problem in dotenv , He says there is an error in this word (dotenv)

doesnt work anymore i tried it, also wrong discord import

At this point PyCharm is sponsored by Indently 💀

Nice video!!!

Well my bot is not running.

for some reason when I run nothing happens at all

good video

Could you please help URL generator is not visible for me

It updated again!

20 minutes to respond to users? You apparently need to work on your descriptions for your vods.

i thought env was only for js

Somehow dotenv doesnt work in my case can anyone help me?

how do i make the bot send a image

mine says : cdc is not defined.

im doing this on replit. would there be any difference?

Last time i tried to learn python few years ago, and i don't remember this stuff with colons. All this stuff like "lowered : str =..." or "intents: Intents" = ... or "client: Client = ..." etc. Is this something new? I failed to even properly google it.

yo buddy.. when i ran main 8:07 ... for me this comment popped up PS C:\Users\jonan> & C:/Users/jonan/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python312/python.exe d:/main Traceback (most recent call last): File "d:\main", line 3, in from dotenv import load_dotenv ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dotenv' what did i do wrong and how do i fix it

what program are you using for this

I am not understanding anything

hi, but is it also possible to send a ddos ​​attack?

nxt part when?

tried to run it & it said "Error: please select a valid Python interpreter" with a whole menu of settings and options i can't even begin to understand

so based

The Token code isn't working it only shows my drive path and that's it

it says NONE for print(TOKEN)

Can someone help me?
