Trouble sending Python script output to Discord channel

Other Questions Discord bot

I’m working on a Python script that scans Roblox group IDs and saves the results to a text file. Now I want to send these results to a Discord channel using a bot or webhook. But I’m stuck. I’ve tried a few things, but nothing seems to work.

Here’s a simplified version of my code:

import random
import threading

def check_group(group_id):
    # Simulated group check
    if random.choice([True, False]):
        with open('results.txt', 'a') as f:
            f.write(f'Group {group_id} is available\n')

def main():
    group_ids = list(range(1000, 2000))
    random.shuffle(group_ids)

    threads = []
    for _ in range(10):
        t = threading.Thread(target=check_group, args=(group_ids.pop(),))
        threads.append(t)
        t.start()

    for t in threads:
        t.join()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

Can anyone help me figure out how to send the contents of results.txt to a Discord channel? Any suggestions would be great!

I’ve encountered a similar challenge before. Here’s what worked for me:

Use the ‘requests’ library to send data to Discord via a webhook. It’s simpler than setting up a full bot.

First, create a webhook in your Discord server settings. Then, modify your script to send the results after each group check:

import requests

webhook_url = 'YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL_HERE'

def check_group(group_id):
    if random.choice([True, False]):
        result = f'Group {group_id} is available'
        with open('results.txt', 'a') as f:
            f.write(result + '\n')
        requests.post(webhook_url, json={'content': result})

This approach sends results in real-time, which might be more useful than sending everything at once.

As someone who’s done a fair bit of Discord integration, I can share what’s worked well for me. Instead of sending the entire file at once, consider streaming the results in real-time. You can use the ‘discord’ library for this, which offers more flexibility than webhooks.

Here’s a rough outline:

  1. Set up a Discord bot and get its token
  2. Modify your check_group function to send messages directly
  3. Use asyncio to handle the bot’s event loop

The key is to send messages as they’re generated, rather than waiting for the whole process to finish. This approach gives you more control over formatting and timing, and it’s more engaging for users watching the channel.

Remember to handle rate limits though - Discord has restrictions on how frequently you can send messages. You might need to implement a queue system if you’re generating results quickly.

hi there, try using discord.py. install via pip, make a bot, and use its token. in your bot’s on_ready, open ‘results.txt’ and send its content to your channel. hope it helps!
