I way toying arround with Discord and Python because I wanted to record the messages and reactions of users.
Therefore I wrote a bot with the library discord.py My first attempts with Python…or let’s say a try and error session….
But in the end I was able toget the reactions and log messages.
below some good references and instructions and an example of my discord bot
