Getting Started

Installing

Discordgo has been tested to compile on Debian 8 (Go 1.3.3), FreeBSD 10 (Go 1.5.1), and Windows 7 (Go 1.5.2).

This assumes you already have a working Go environment, if not please see this page first.

$ go get github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo

Usage

Import the package into your project.

import "github.com/bwmarrin/discordgo"

Construct a new Discord client which can be used to access the variety of Discord API functions and to set callback functions for Discord events.

discord, err := discordgo.New("username", "password")

See Documentation and Examples below for more detailed information.

Documentation

NOTICE : This library and the Discord API are unfinished. Because of that there may be major changes to library functions, constants, and structures.

The Discordgo code is fairly well documented at this point and is currently the only documentation available. Both GoDoc and GoWalker (below) present that information in a nice format.

• 
• Unofficial Discord API Documentation
• Hand crafted documentation coming eventually.
