Sniper Discord Bot - Python Edition

Like Dank Memer's sniper bot, but written in Python.
Because Discord.py > Discord.js

Features

Currently, this bot can:

• Store one deleted message per channel
• Handle deleted attachments
• Use the slash command /snipe to recover a deleted message

Setup

Please install these prerequisites:

• Python 3.8 or higher
• Git (unless you download as a zip)

1. Create the bot

   1. Go to the Discord developer portal
   2. Click the blue New application button and give your bot a name
   3. Navigate to the Bot submenu and press Add bot (and press Yes, do it! on the dialogue box)
   4. Save the token for the config.json file
   5. Navigate to the OAuth2 submenu
   6. For the scopes, select bot and applications.commands
   7. For the bot permissions, make sure it at least has the following:
      • View Channels
      • Send Messages
      • Read Message History
      • Embed Links
      • Use Slash Commands
   8. Then, copy the link in the scopes section. Use that link to add it to your servers

2. Download the bot and install necessary packages

   $ git clone https://github.com/sheepy0125/sniper-bot-python
   $ cd sniper-bot-python
   $ python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create config file

   Use the automated config generator

   $ python3 src/utils/automated_config_generator.py

   Or make it yourself (save in root directory as config.json, you can rename config.json.example)

   {
       "token": "",
       "guild_ids": [],
       "embed_color": "FFFFFF"
   }

4. Run the bot!

   $ python3 src/bot.py

Usage

snipe command

1. Delete a message

2. Type /snipe

3. Your message will come back to you
