Scheduled Events Bot API

  • Edited

It would be great to have a way to access the events API /guilds/SERVER/events with a bot token.

I tried doing it with a test bot with admin rights and it always resulted in a code 50001 (missing access) response.

I was thinking of looking into writing a bot to sync events between discord and a google calendar.

 

edit:

Looks like there is official documentation now for the scheduled events API. Discord Developer Portal — Documentation — Guild Scheduled Event

    Likewise. If we want to have any hope to use it, I need to be able to have it sync with our website.

    It seems like the GET /guilds/GUILD_ID/events endpoint can be called when passing the x-super-properties header.

    Creating events is still not possible. The response is an error ("Bots cannot use this endpoint" Code: 20001) when making a POST request to the same endpoint.

    I would love to see the following to improve Scheduled Events, especially for smaller servers:

    1. Read (without the extra headers)
    2. Create
    3. (ideal/bonus) flag people as interested

    I have a regular game night, but will only run it if X people are available (for MMOs I'm sure this is common for raid group roles)

    Ideally I plan on having a bot check for interest and then create the event if the roles are filled.
    #3 would makes this seamless as the people who have interact with the bot would automatically get added to the event.

    I know I could manage all of this via bots, but I think using the built-in event system elevates the Event's prominence and visibility as opposed to a message in a channel from a bot.

    I noticed that some documentation was added recently for the scheduled events API. Looks like the new endpoints are bot accessible.

    Nice find LinuxKnight! I'm pretty pleased with what I'm seeing, it's got pretty much everything I need to do what I'm envisioning!

    LinuxKnight do you have a bot that works with scheduled events as I've been looking for one with a couple of communities I am involved in running

    Just ran into this, I'm using the new events api to display events across servers on a calendar format here: https://github.com/Inrixia/discordcalendar

    Dunno if its exactly what people here were looking for but could be useful.
