DiscordImageUploader

Upload images to Discord using the Discord API. This is a simple node.js module that allows you to upload images to Discord using their API. This module is useful for Discord bot developers who wish to upload images to Discord using their bot. This module is also useful for people who wish to upload images to Discord without using their web browser.

Installation

npm i discordimageuploader

Usage

When you instantiate a new DiscordImageUploader, it requires a token. This can be a user token or a bot token. If you don't know how to get a token, look it up on Google. I'm not going to explain it here. You can also pass in a boolean value to the constructor to tell it whether or not to wait for the upload to finish before moving on to the next job. If you set this to false, you can upload many files very quickly, but at the risk of getting rate limited or banned. The default is true. You can also pass in a number to tell it how long to wait between jobs if waitForUpload is set to true. This is in seconds. The default is 1 second.

const DiscordImageUploader = require('discordimageuploader');


/**
 * @param {string} token - The Discord token to use. 
 * @param {boolean} waitForUpload - Whether or not to wait for the upload to finish before moving on to the next job. If set to false, you can upload many files very quickly, but at the risk of getting rate limited or banned. Default is true.
 * @param {number} waitTime - How long to wait between jobs if waitForUpload is set to true. This is in seconds. Default is 1 second.
 */
let uploader = DiscordImageUploader("YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN_HERE", waitForUpload = true, waitTime = 1);

let jobInitObj = uploader.uploadFile("test.jpg", "1159893559839830090", "Test message");
// jobInitObj is an object that contains the jobID and the promise.
// {promise: Promise, jobID: number}

jobInitObj.promise.then((url) => {
    console.log("Upload Complete!");
    console.log("URL: ", url);
    console.log("jobID: ", jobInitObj.jobID);
}).catch((e) => {
    console.log("Error: ", e);
});

let job = getJob(jobInitObj.jobID); // Returns the job object with the specified jobID.
// job is an object that contains the status, jobID, file name, channel ID, message, and URL (if the file was successfully uploaded).
console.log({job});

Example

This example will upload 1 image to Discord 10 times. It's basically the same as the code above.

const fs = require('fs');

const DiscordImageUploader = require("DiscordImageUploader");

uploader = new DiscordImageUploader("YOUR_DISCORD_TOKEN_HERE");

// This example will upload 1 image to Discord 10 times.
const doStuff = async () => {
    for (let i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
        let jobInitObj = uploader.uploadFile("test.jpg", "1159893559839830090", "Test message" + i);

        jobInitObj.promise.then((url) => {
            console.log("Upload Complete!");
            console.log("URL: ", url);
            console.log("jobID: ", jobInitObj.jobID);
        }).catch((e) => {
            console.log("Error: ", e);
        });
    }
};

doStuff();
while(true) {}
