Golang Discord API.
This is my first Golang project and it is ~~probably~~ ~~not~~ maybe even suitable for use :) Discord API for Golang
Everything here so far is likely to change as I learn Golang better and refine the API names and such. This is my first Golang project and it is ~~probably~~ ~~not~~ ~~maybe even~~
barely suitable for use :)
Initially my goal was to write a chatbot and I started working with https://github.com/Xackery/discord as my API. But that code doesn't work 100% and so I started slowly making changes to it. Anyhow, credit goes to https://github.com/Xackery/discord for getting me started. Everything here so far is likely to change as I learn Golang better and refine
the API names and such. Because of that I do not yet recommend this for use
with anything super important :)
If you're looking for a functional Discord API for Golang check out https://github.com/gdraynz/go-discord which I recently found. It's much more complete and will likely help me learn how to improve what I have here. Initially my goal was to write a chatbot and I started working with

at the time. So I started slowly making changes to it and eventually ended up

Low level functions exist for the core REST API and Websocket API.
* Login to Discord * Login to Discord
* Get User information for a given user. * Get User information for a given user.

All the code in the other files such as discord.go, session.go, etc are a playground where I'm working to provide another and easier way to access the API.
You can look at the demo.go example file to see all of the client.go functions in use.
