I just got my Discord bot approved on top.gg and I’m trying to figure out how to use the dblpy library. The documentation is pretty confusing for me. I need to create a system where users can only access specific commands if they voted for my bot within the last 12 hours. I’m struggling with the basic setup and don’t really understand how to establish a connection with the API in the first place. Has anyone worked with this before? Any help would be great because I’m completely stuck on this.
When working with the dblpy library, it’s crucial to use the correct bot token from top.gg rather than your Discord token. The initialization should include your bot ID along with this token. For managing user votes, implement the get_user_vote method to check when a user last voted. It’s advisable to store these timestamps either in a database or temporarily in memory to prevent frequent API calls, as this can lead to hitting rate limits. Additionally, ensure your code can handle potential API downtimes to maintain command functionality.
dblpy’s tricky at first, but it’s solid once you get it running. Double-check you’re importing it right and your API key’s properly set in environment variables. I spent hours debugging auth errors because I mixed up my Discord bot token with the top.gg one lol
