Data Classes

Some classes are just there to be data containers, this lists them.

Unlike models you are allowed to create most of these yourself, even if they can also be used to hold attributes.

Nearly all classes here have __slots__ defined which means that it is impossible to have dynamic attributes to the data classes.

The only exception to this rule is abc.Snowflake, which is made with dynamic attributes in mind.

Object

Attributes
class discord.Object(id, type=MISSING, *, state=MISSING)

Bases: Hashable

Represents a generic Discord object.

The purpose of this class is to allow you to create ‘miniature’ versions of data classes if you want to pass in just an ID. Most functions that take in a specific data class with an ID can also take in this class as a substitute instead. Note that even though this is the case, not all objects (if any) actually inherit from this class.

There are also some cases where some websocket events are received in strange order and when such events happened you would receive this class rather than the actual data class. These cases are extremely rare.

x == y

Checks if two objects are equal.

x != y

Checks if two objects are not equal.

hash(x)

Returns the object’s hash.

id

The ID of the object.

Type:

int

type

The object this should represent if any.

Type:

object

property created_at

Returns the snowflake’s creation time in UTC.

Type:

datetime.datetime

Embed

Attributes
Methods
class discord.Embed(*, title=Embed.Empty, description=Embed.Empty, color=Embed.Empty, timestamp=Embed.Empty, url=Embed.Empty, type='rich', colour=Embed.Empty)

Bases: object

Represents a Discord embed.

len(x)

Returns the total size of the embed. Useful for checking if it’s within the 6000-character limit.

Certain properties return an EmbedProxy, a type that acts similar to a regular dict except using dotted access, e.g. embed.author.icon_url. If the attribute is invalid or empty, then a special sentinel value is returned, Embed.Empty.

For ease of use, all parameters that expect a str are implicitly cast to str for you.

title

The title of the embed. This can be set during initialisation.

Type:

str

type

The type of embed. Usually “rich”. This can be set during initialisation. Possible strings for embed types can be found on discord’s api docs

Warning

Since API v10, the attachments (when passed) must contain all attachments that should be present after edit, including retained and new attachments.

As this requires to know the current attachments consider either storing the attachments that were sent with a message or using a fetched version of the message to edit it.

Parameters:

  • content (Optional[str]) – The new content to replace the message with. Could be None to remove the content.

  • embed (Optional[Embed]) – The new embed to replace the original with. Could be None to remove all embeds.

    When None or empty, all attachment will be removed.

    Note

    New files will always appear under existing ones.

  • suppress_embeds (bool) – Whether to suppress embeds for the message. This removes all the embeds if set to True. If set to False this brings the embeds back if they were suppressed. Requires manage_messages for messages that aren’t from the bot.

  • delete_after (Optional[float]) – If provided, the number of seconds to wait in the background before deleting the message we just edited. If the deletion fails, then it is silently ignored.

  • allowed_mentions (Optional[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.

Raises:

  • NotFound – The message was not found.

  • HTTPException – Editing the message failed.

  • Forbidden – Tried to suppress the embeds a message without permissions or edited a message’s content or embed that isn’t yours.

Returns:

The message that was edited.

Return type:

MemberCacheFlags

Attributes
Methods
class discord.MemberCacheFlags(**kwargs)

Bases: BaseFlags

Controls the library’s cache policy when it comes to members.

This allows for finer grained control over what members are cached. Note that the bot’s own member is always cached. This class is passed to the member_cache_flags parameter in Client.

Due to a quirk in how Discord works, in order to ensure proper cleanup of cache resources it is recommended to have Intents.members enabled. Otherwise the library cannot know when a member leaves a guild and is thus unable to cleanup after itself.

To construct an object you can pass keyword arguments denoting the flags to enable or disable.

The default value is all flags enabled.

Added in version 1.5.

x == y

Checks if two flags are equal.

x != y

Checks if two flags are not equal.

hash(x)

Return the flag’s hash.

iter(x)

Returns an iterator of (name, value) pairs. This allows it to be, for example, constructed as a dict or a list of pairs.

value

The raw value. You should query flags via the properties rather than using this raw value.

Type:

int

classmethod all()

A factory method that creates a MemberCacheFlags with everything enabled.

classmethod none()

A factory method that creates a MemberCacheFlags with everything disabled.

online

For example, members that are part of the initial GUILD_CREATE or become online at a later point. This requires Intents.presences.

Members that go offline are no longer cached.

Type:

bool

voice

Whether to cache members that are in voice.

This requires Intents.voice_states.

Members that leave voice are no longer cached.
