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.

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.

Added in version 1.4.
reference (Union[Message, MessageReference, PartialMessage]) –
A reference to the Message being replied to or forwarded. This can be created using to_reference(). When replying, 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.

Added in version 1.6.

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.
Returns:: The resolved permissions for the member or role.
Return type:: Permissions

await delete_messages(messages, *, reason=None)[source]¶

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.

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.

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.

Returns:: The partial message.
Return type:: PartialMessage

can_send(*objects)¶

Returns a bool indicating whether you have the permissions to send the object(s).

Note

Due to a limitation with the Discord API, the Message objects returned by this method do not contain complete Message.reactions data.

Returns:: The messages that are currently pinned.
Return type:: List[Message]
Raises:: HTTPException – Retrieving the pinned messages failed.

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.

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 (Union[str, 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.
enforce_nonce (Optional[bool]) –
Whether nonce is enforced to be validated.

Added in version 2.5.
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.

Added in version 1.4.
reference (Union[Message, MessageReference, PartialMessage]) –
A reference to the Message being replied to or forwarded. This can be created using to_reference(). When replying, 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.

Added in version 1.6.
mention_author (Optional[bool]) –
If set, overrides the replied_user attribute of allowed_mentions.

Added in version 1.6.
view (discord.ui.View) – A Discord UI View to add to the message.
embeds (List[Embed]) –
A list of embeds to upload. Must be a maximum of 10.

Added in version 2.0.
stickers (Sequence[Union[GuildSticker, StickerItem]]) –
A list of stickers to upload. Must be a maximum of 3.

Added in version 2.0.
suppress (bool) – Whether to suppress embeds for the message.
silent (bool) –
Whether to suppress push and desktop notifications for the message.

Added in version 2.4.
poll (Poll) –
The poll to send.

Added in version 2.6.

Returns:

The message that was sent.

Return type:

Raises:

HTTPException – Sending the message failed.
Forbidden – You do not have the proper permissions to send the message.

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.

Return type:

HistoryIterator

Examples

Usage

counter = 0
async for message in channel.history(limit=200):

Flattening into a list:

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

All parameters are optional.

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. :rtype: Typing
