Discord Models

Models are classes that are received from Discord and are not meant to be created by the user of the library.

Danger

The classes listed below are not intended to be created by users and are also read-only.

For example, this means that you should not make your own User instances nor should you modify the User instance yourself.

If you want to get one of these model classes instances they'd have to be through the cache, and a common way of doing so is through the utils.find() function or attributes of model classes that you receive from the events specified in the Event Reference.

Note

Nearly all classes here have __slots__ defined which means that it is impossible to have dynamic attributes to the data classes.

Raises:

HTTPException -- Retrieving the pinned messages failed.

await send(content=None, *, tts=None, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, mention_author=None, view=None, suppress=None)

This function is a coroutine.

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through str(content). If the content is set to None (the default), then the embed parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the file parameter should be used with a single File object. To upload multiple files, the files parameter should be used with a list of File objects. Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception.

To upload a single embed, the embed parameter should be used with a single Embed object. To upload multiple embeds, the embeds parameter should be used with a list of Embed objects. Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception.

Parameters:

• content (Optional[str]) -- The content of the message to send.

• tts (bool) -- Indicates if the message should be sent using text-to-speech.

• embed (Embed) -- The rich embed for the content.

• file (File) -- The file to upload.

• files (List[File]) -- A list of files to upload. Must be a maximum of 10.

• nonce (int) -- The nonce to use for sending this message. If the message was successfully sent, then the message will have a nonce with this value.

• delete_after (float) -- If provided, the number of seconds to wait in the background before deleting the message we just sent. If the deletion fails, then it is silently ignored.

• allowed_mentions (AllowedMentions) --

  Controls the mentions being processed in this message. If this is passed, then the object is merged with allowed_mentions. The merging behaviour only overrides attributes that have been explicitly passed to the object, otherwise it uses the attributes set in allowed_mentions. If no object is passed at all then the defaults given by allowed_mentions are used instead.

  New in version 1.4.

• reference (Union[Message, MessageReference, PartialMessage]) --

  A reference to the Message to which you are replying, this can be created using to_reference() or passed directly as a Message. You can control whether this mentions the author of the referenced message using the replied_user attribute of allowed_mentions or by setting mention_author.

  New in version 1.6.

• mention_author (Optional[bool]) --

  If set, overrides the replied_user attribute of allowed_mentions.

  New in version 1.6.

Triggers a typing indicator to the destination.

Typing indicator will go away after 10 seconds, or after a message is sent.

Return type:

None

typing()

Returns a context manager that allows you to type for an indefinite period of time.

This is useful for denoting long computations in your bot.

Note

This is both a regular context manager and an async context manager. This means that both with and async with work with this.

Example Usage:

async with channel.typing():
    # simulate something heavy
    await asyncio.sleep(10)

await channel.send('done!')

Return type:

Typing

get_partial_message(message_id, /)

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)

Returns an AsyncIterator that enables receiving the destination's message history.

You must have read_message_history permissions to use this.

Parameters:

• limit (Optional[int]) -- The number of messages to retrieve. If None, retrieves every message in the channel. Note, however, that this would make it a slow operation.

• before (Optional[Union[Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) -- Retrieve messages before this date or message. If a datetime is provided, it is recommended to use a UTC aware datetime. If the datetime is naive, it is assumed to be local time.

• after (Optional[Union[Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) -- Retrieve messages after this date or message. If a datetime is provided, it is recommended to use a UTC aware datetime. If the datetime is naive, it is assumed to be local time.

• around (Optional[Union[Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) -- Retrieve messages around this date or message. If a datetime is provided, it is recommended to use a UTC aware datetime. If the datetime is naive, it is assumed to be local time. When using this argument, the maximum limit is 101. Note that if the limit is an even number, then this will return at most limit + 1 messages.

• oldest_first (Optional[bool]) -- If set to True, return messages in oldest->newest order. Defaults to True if after is specified, otherwise False.

Yields:

Message -- The message with the message data parsed.

Raises:

• Forbidden -- You do not have permissions to get channel message history.

• HTTPException -- The request to get message history failed.

async for message in channel.history(limit=200):
    if message.author == client.user:
        counter += 1

Flattening into a list:

messages = await channel.history(limit=123).flatten()
# messages is now a list of Message...

All parameters are optional.

Return type:

HistoryIterator

async with typing()

Returns a context manager that allows you to type for an indefinite period of time.

This is useful for denoting long computations in your bot.

Note

This is both a regular context manager and an async context manager. This means that both with and async with work with this.

permissions_for(obj, /)

Handles permission resolution for the Member or Role.

Since threads do not have their own permissions, they inherit them from the parent channel. This is a convenience method for calling permissions_for() on the parent channel.

Parameters:

obj (Union[Member, Role]) -- The object to resolve permissions for. This could be either a member or a role. If it's a role then member overwrites are not computed.

await delete_messages(messages, *, reason=None)

This function is a coroutine.

Deletes a list of messages. This is similar to Message.delete() except it bulk deletes multiple messages.

As a special case, if the number of messages is 0, then nothing is done. If the number of messages is 1 then single message delete is done. If it's more than two, then bulk delete is used.

You cannot bulk delete more than 100 messages or messages that are older than 14 days old.

You must have the manage_messages permission to use this.

Usable only by bot accounts.

Parameters:

• messages (Iterable[abc.Snowflake]) -- An iterable of messages denoting which ones to bulk delete.

• reason (Optional[str]) -- The reason for deleting the messages. Shows up on the audit log.

Raises:

• ClientException -- The number of messages to delete was more than 100.

• Forbidden -- You do not have proper permissions to delete the messages, or you're not using a bot account.

• NotFound -- If single delete, then the message was already deleted.

• HTTPException -- Deleting the messages failed.

Return type:

None

await purge(*, limit=100, check=..., before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=False, bulk=True, reason=None)

This function is a coroutine.

Purges a list of messages that meet the criteria given by the predicate check. If a check is not provided then all messages are deleted without discrimination.

You must have the manage_messages permission to delete messages even if they are your own (unless you are a user account). The read_message_history permission is also needed to retrieve message history.

Parameters:

• limit (Optional[int]) -- The number of messages to search through. This is not the number of messages that will be deleted, though it can be.

• check (Callable[[Message], bool]) -- The function used to check if a message should be deleted. It must take a Message as its sole parameter.

• before (Optional[Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) -- Same as before in history().

• after (Optional[Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) -- Same as after in history().

• around (Optional[Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) -- Same as around in history().

• oldest_first (Optional[bool]) -- Same as oldest_first in history().

• bulk (bool) -- If True, use bulk delete. Setting this to False is useful for mass-deleting a bot's own messages without Permissions.manage_messages. When True, will fall back to single delete if messages are older than two weeks.

• reason (Optional[str]) -- The reason for deleting the messages. Shows up on the audit log.

Returns:

The list of messages that were deleted.

Return type:

List[Message]

Raises:

• Forbidden -- You do not have proper permissions to do the actions required.

• HTTPException -- Purging the messages failed.

Examples

Returns:

The permission overwrites for this object.

Return type:

PermissionOverwrite

permissions_for(obj, /)

Handles permission resolution for the Member or Role.

This function takes into consideration the following cases:

• Member overrides

If a Role is passed, then it checks the permissions someone with that role would have, which is essentially:

• The default role permissions

• The permissions of the role used as a parameter

• The default role permission overwrites

• The permission overwrites of the role used as a parameter

Changed in version 2.0: The object passed in can now be a role object.

Parameters:

obj (Union[Member, Role]) -- The object to resolve permissions for. This could be either a member or a role. If it's a role then member overwrites are not computed.

Returns:

The resolved permissions for the member or role.

Return type:

await set_permissions(target, *, overwrite=..., reason=None, **permissions)

This function is a coroutine.

Sets the channel specific permission overwrites for a target in the channel.

The target parameter should either be a Member or a Role that belongs to guild.

The overwrite parameter, if given, must either be None or PermissionOverwrite. For convenience, you can pass in keyword arguments denoting Permissions attributes. If this is done, then you cannot mix the keyword arguments with the overwrite parameter.

If the overwrite parameter is None, then the permission overwrites are deleted.

You must have the manage_roles permission to use this.

Note

This method replaces the old overwrites with the ones given.

Examples

Setting allow and deny:

await message.channel.set_permissions(message.author, read_messages=True,
                                                      send_messages=False)

Deleting overwrites

await channel.set_permissions(member, overwrite=None)

Using PermissionOverwrite

overwrite = discord.PermissionOverwrite()
overwrite.send_messages = False
overwrite.read_messages = True
await channel.set_permissions(member, overwrite=overwrite)

Parameters:

• target (Union[Member, Role]) -- The member or role to overwrite permissions for.

• overwrite (Optional[PermissionOverwrite]) -- The permissions to allow and deny to the target, or None to delete the overwrite.

• **permissions -- A keyword argument list of permissions to set for ease of use. Cannot be mixed with overwrite.

• reason (Optional[str]) -- The reason for doing this action. Shows up on the audit log.

Raises:

• Forbidden -- You do not have permissions to edit channel specific permissions.

• around (Optional[Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) -- Same as around in history().

• oldest_first (Optional[bool]) -- Same as oldest_first in history().

• bulk (bool) -- If True, use bulk delete. Setting this to False is useful for mass-deleting a bot's own messages without Permissions.manage_messages. When True, will fall back to single delete if messages are older than two weeks.

• reason (Optional[str]) -- The reason for deleting the messages. Shows up on the audit log.

Returns:

The list of messages that were deleted.

Return type:

List[Message]

Raises:

Examples

Deleting bot's messages

def is_me(m):
    return m.author == client.user

deleted = await channel.purge(limit=100, check=is_me)
await channel.send(f'Deleted {len(deleted)} message(s)')

await send(content=None, *, tts=None, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, mention_author=None, view=None, suppress=None)

This function is a coroutine.

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through str(content). If the content is set to None (the default), then the embed parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the file parameter should be used with a single File object. To upload multiple files, the files parameter should be used with a list of File objects. Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception.

To upload a single embed, the embed parameter should be used with a single Embed object. To upload multiple embeds, the embeds parameter should be used with a list of Embed objects. Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception.

Parameters:

• content (Optional[str]) -- The content of the message to send.

• tts (bool) -- Indicates if the message should be sent using text-to-speech.

• embed (Embed) -- The rich embed for the content.

• file (File) -- The file to upload.

• files (List[File]) -- A list of files to upload. Must be a maximum of 10.

• nonce (int) -- The nonce to use for sending this message. If the message was successfully sent, then the message will have a nonce with this value.

• delete_after (float) -- If provided, the number of seconds to wait in the background before deleting the message we just sent. If the deletion fails, then it is silently ignored.

• allowed_mentions (AllowedMentions) --

  Controls the mentions being processed in this message. If this is passed, then the object is merged with allowed_mentions. The merging behaviour only overrides attributes that have been explicitly passed to the object, otherwise it uses the attributes set in allowed_mentions. If no object is passed at all then the defaults given by allowed_mentions are used instead.

  New in version 1.4.

• reference (Union[Message, MessageReference, PartialMessage]) --

  A reference to the Message to which you are replying, this can be created using to_reference() or passed directly as a Message. You can control whether this mentions the author of the referenced message using the replied_user attribute of allowed_mentions or by setting mention_author.

  New in version 1.6.

• mention_author (Optional[bool]) --

  If set, overrides the replied_user attribute of allowed_mentions.

Returns:

The message that was sent.

Return type:

Message

Raises:

• HTTPException -- Sending the message failed.

• around (Optional[Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) -- Same as around in history().

• oldest_first (Optional[bool]) -- Same as oldest_first in history().

• bulk (bool) -- If True, use bulk delete. Setting this to False is useful for mass-deleting a bot's own messages without Permissions.manage_messages. When True, will fall back to single delete if messages are older than two weeks.

• reason (Optional[str]) -- The reason for deleting the messages. Shows up on the audit log.

Returns:

The list of messages that were deleted.

Return type:

List[Message]

Raises:

You must have the manage_roles permission to use this.

Note

This method replaces the old overwrites with the ones given.

Examples

Setting allow and deny:

await message.channel.set_permissions(message.author, read_messages=True,
                                                      send_messages=False)

await delete_messages(messages, *, reason=None)

This function is a coroutine.

Deletes a list of messages. This is similar to Message.delete() except it bulk deletes multiple messages.

As a special case, if the number of messages is 0, then nothing is done. If the number of messages is 1 then single message delete is done. If it's more than two, then bulk delete is used.

You cannot bulk delete more than 100 messages or messages that are older than 14 days old.

You must have the manage_messages permission to use this.

Parameters:

• messages (Iterable[abc.Snowflake]) -- An iterable of messages denoting which ones to bulk delete.

• reason (Optional[str]) -- The reason for deleting the messages. Shows up on the audit log.

Raises:

• ClientException -- The number of messages to delete was more than 100.

• Forbidden -- You do not have proper permissions to delete the messages.

• NotFound -- If single delete, then the message was already deleted.

• HTTPException -- Deleting the messages failed.

Return type:

None

You must have the manage_messages permission to delete messages even if they are your own. The read_message_history permission is also needed to retrieve message history.

Parameters:

• limit (Optional[int]) -- The number of messages to search through. This is not the number of messages that will be deleted, though it can be.

• check (Callable[[Message], bool]) -- The function used to check if a message should be deleted. It must take a Message as its sole parameter.

• before (Optional[Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) -- Same as before in history().

• after (Optional[Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) -- Same as after in history().

• around (Optional[Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) -- Same as around in history().

• oldest_first (Optional[bool]) -- Same as oldest_first in history().

• bulk (bool) -- If True, use bulk delete. Setting this to False is useful for mass-deleting a bot's own messages without Permissions.manage_messages. When True, will fall back to single delete if messages are older than two weeks.

• reason (Optional[str]) -- The reason for deleting the messages. Shows up on the audit log.

Returns:

The list of messages that were deleted.

Return type:

List[Message]

Raises:

• Forbidden -- You do not have proper permissions to do the actions required.

• The permissions of the role used as a parameter

• The default role permission overwrites

• The permission overwrites of the role used as a parameter

Changed in version 2.0: The object passed in can now be a role object.

Parameters:

obj (Union[Member, Role]) -- The object to resolve permissions for. This could be either a member or a role. If it's a role then member overwrites are not computed.

Returns:

The resolved permissions for the member or role.

Return type:

This function is a coroutine.

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through str(content). If the content is set to None (the default), then the embed parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the file parameter should be used with a single File object. To upload multiple files, the files parameter should be used with a list of File objects. Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception.

To upload a single embed, the embed parameter should be used with a single Embed object. To upload multiple embeds, the embeds parameter should be used with a list of Embed objects. Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception.

Parameters:

• content (Optional[str]) -- The content of the message to send.

• tts (bool) -- Indicates if the message should be sent using text-to-speech.

• embed (Embed) -- The rich embed for the content.

• file (File) -- The file to upload.

• files (List[File]) -- A list of files to upload. Must be a maximum of 10.

• nonce (int) -- The nonce to use for sending this message. If the message was successfully sent, then the message will have a nonce with this value.

• delete_after (float) -- If provided, the number of seconds to wait in the background before deleting the message we just sent. If the deletion fails, then it is silently ignored.

• allowed_mentions (AllowedMentions) --

  Controls the mentions being processed in this message. If this is passed, then the object is merged with allowed_mentions. The merging behaviour only overrides attributes that have been explicitly passed to the object, otherwise it uses the attributes set in allowed_mentions. If no object is passed at all then the defaults given by allowed_mentions are used instead.

  New in version 1.4.

• reference (Union[Message, MessageReference, PartialMessage]) --

  A reference to the Message to which you are replying, this can be created using to_reference() or passed directly as a Message. You can control whether this mentions the author of the referenced message using the replied_user attribute of allowed_mentions or by setting mention_author.

  New in version 1.6.

• mention_author (Optional[bool]) --

  If set, overrides the replied_user attribute of allowed_mentions.

  New in version 1.6.

• view (discord.ui.View) -- A Discord UI View to add to the message.

  A list of stickers to upload. Must be a maximum of 3.

  New in version 2.0.

• suppress (bool) -- Whether to suppress embeds for the message.

Returns:

The message that was sent.

Return type:

Message

Raises:

• HTTPException -- Sending the message failed.

• Forbidden -- You do not have the proper permissions to send the message.

• InvalidArgument -- The files list is not of the appropriate size, you specified both file and files, or you specified both embed and embeds, or the reference object is not a Message, MessageReference or PartialMessage.

await set_permissions(target, *, overwrite=..., reason=None, **permissions)

This function is a coroutine.

Sets the channel specific permission overwrites for a target in the channel.

The target parameter should either be a Member or a Role that belongs to guild.

The overwrite parameter, if given, must either be None or PermissionOverwrite. For convenience, you can pass in keyword arguments denoting Permissions attributes. If this is done, then you cannot mix the keyword arguments with the overwrite parameter.

If the overwrite parameter is None, then the permission overwrites are deleted.

You must have the manage_roles permission to use this.

Note

This method replaces the old overwrites with the ones given.

Examples

Setting allow and deny:

await message.channel.set_permissions(message.author, read_messages=True,
                                                      send_messages=False)

Deleting overwrites

await channel.set_permissions(member, overwrite=None)

Using PermissionOverwrite

overwrite = discord.PermissionOverwrite()
overwrite.send_messages = False
overwrite.read_messages = True
await channel.set_permissions(member, overwrite=overwrite)

• reason (Optional[str]) -- The reason for doing this action. Shows up on the audit log.

Raises:

• Forbidden -- You do not have permissions to edit channel specific permissions.

• HTTPException -- Editing channel specific permissions failed.

• NotFound -- The role or member being edited is not part of the guild.

async with channel.typing():
    # simulate something heavy
    await asyncio.sleep(10)

await channel.send('done!')

Return type:

Typing

property voice_states

This function is a coroutine.

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through str(content). If the content is set to None (the default), then the embed parameter must be provided.

To upload a single file, the file parameter should be used with a single File object. To upload multiple files, the files parameter should be used with a list of File objects. Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception.

To upload a single embed, the embed parameter should be used with a single Embed object. To upload multiple embeds, the embeds parameter should be used with a list of Embed objects. Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception.

Parameters:

• allowed_mentions (AllowedMentions) --

  Controls the mentions being processed in this message. If this is passed, then the object is merged with allowed_mentions. The merging behaviour only overrides attributes that have been explicitly passed to the object, otherwise it uses the attributes set in allowed_mentions. If no object is passed at all then the defaults given by allowed_mentions are used instead.

  New in version 1.4.

• reference (Union[Message, MessageReference, PartialMessage]) --

  A reference to the Message to which you are replying, this can be created using to_reference() or passed directly as a Message. You can control whether this mentions the author of the referenced message using the replied_user attribute of allowed_mentions or by setting mention_author.
