I aim to have my Discord Bot process GET and POST requests to allow for control over certain Bot functionalities via a dashboard. The challenge is that my Bot is hosted on a separate server from where I plan to set up the dashboard. I’ve heard about implementing a RESTful API, but after conducting some research, I’m unclear on how to proceed and whether it would actually be beneficial. I’m not sure if there are alternative solutions available. My development environment includes Node.js along with the discord.js library.
Have you tried using a library like Express.js? It’s simple for creating a RESTful API with Node.js. Once set up, your dashboard can handle GET and POST requests by interacting with the API endpoints. Also, consider using Discord OAuth2 for secure communication between your bot and dashboard.
