sends messages to a discord channel using a bot via http POST

also wondering how this script can be changed to send an image instead

Cool, nice gist, but I have an error {"code": 40001, "message": "Unauthorized"}.
I've added bot to the server and set premissions to send messages.
Do you know how to fix it without using any libraries?

@MxShift you need to connect to the API via a gateway before it will let you send messages, it says:

Before using this endpoint, you must connect to and identify with a gateway at least once.

@40163650 Thanks. I found that webhooks is easier solution for just sending messages.

import json
import requests


def sendToDiscord(webhook_url, message):
    """
    Post a message to discord API via a Webhook.
    """
    payload = {
        "content": message
    }
    headers = {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    }
    response = requests.post(webhook_url, data=json.dumps(payload), headers=headers)
    return response

@p0nt using webhook, images can be send just by adding url to image to payload

payload = {
  "content": message,
  "embeds": [
    {
      "image": {
        "url": image_url
      }
    }
  ]
}

Also full possible structure of webhook message you can find here.

Is it possible to use email and password instead of token?
