Creating a Bot

Before you can start programming, you need to create a discord bot application.

1. Navigate to The Discord Application Portal

2. Click on the blue button that says "New Application".

   

3. Choose a name for your application. This doesn't matter.

4. Click on the "Bot" button.

   

5. Click on the blue "Add Bot" button.

   

6. Press "Yes, Do It!"

7. Press the "Reset Token" button to claim your token. You may need to enter a authentication code. Write this down and don't share it to anybody. It will give them access to your bot!

   

8. Navigate to the oauth2 url generator.

   

9. Select the bot scope.

   

10. Scroll down and select the administrator permission. This is not required.

11. Scroll farther down to the bottom of the page. Press the copy button.

    

12. Paste this URL into your web browser. You will get an invite page for your bot. Add the bot to a server you are going to develop it on.

    

You are now ready to build a discord bot!
