Basic API Example
====
This example demonstrates how to utilize DiscordGo to connect to Discord
and print out all received chat messages.
This example uses the low-level REST API functions to connect to Discord.
### Build
This assumes you already have a working Go environment setup and that
DiscordGo is correctly installed on your system.
```sh
go build
```
### Usage
You must authenticate using either an Authentication Token or both Email and
Password for an account. Keep in mind official Bot accounts only support
authenticating via Token.
```
./api_basic --help
Usage of ./api_basic:
-e string
Account Email
-p string
Account Password
-t string
Account Token
```
The below example shows how to start the bot using an Email and Password for
authentication.
```sh
./api_basic -e EmailHere -p PasswordHere
```
