Note

As of writing, this can only be set for threads belonging to a forum channel.

REQUIRE_TAG class-attribute instance-attribute

        AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]],
    ],
    /,
    *other_messages: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage],
) -> None

Bulk-delete messages from the channel.

Note

This API endpoint will only be able to delete 100 messages at a time. For anything more than this, multiple requests will be executed one-after-the-other, since the rate limits for this endpoint do not favour more than one request per bucket.

If one message is left over from chunking per 100 messages, or only one message is passed to this coroutine function, then the logic is expected to defer to delete_message. The implication of this is that the delete_message endpoint is ratelimited by a different bucket with different usage rates.

Warning

This endpoint is not atomic. If an error occurs midway through a bulk delete, you will not be able to revert any changes made up to this point.

Warning

Specifying any messages more than 14 days old will cause the call to fail, potentially with partial completion.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
messages	Either the object/ID of an existing message to delete or an iterable (sync or async) of the objects and/or IDs of existing messages to delete. TYPE: Union[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage], Iterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]], AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]]

    after: UndefinedOr[SearchableSnowflakeishOr[Unique]] = undefined.UNDEFINED,
    around: UndefinedOr[SearchableSnowflakeishOr[Unique]] = undefined.UNDEFINED
) -> LazyIterator[Message]

Browse the message history for a given text channel.

Note

This call is not a coroutine function, it returns a special type of lazy iterator that will perform API calls as you iterate across it, thus any errors documented below will happen then. See hikari.iterators for the full API for this iterator type.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
before	If provided, fetch messages before this snowflakes. If you provide a datetime object, it will be transformed into a snowflakes. This may be any other Discord entity that has an ID.

    ] = undefined.UNDEFINED,
    flags: Union[UndefinedType, int, MessageFlag] = undefined.UNDEFINED
) -> Message

Create a message in this channel.

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

content

If provided, the message contents. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing will be sent in the content. Any other value here will be cast to a str. If this is a hikari.embeds.Embed and no embed nor embeds kwarg is provided, then this will instead update the embed. This allows for simpler syntax when sending an embed alone. Likewise, if this is a hikari.files.Resource, then the content is instead treated as an attachment if no attachment and no attachments kwargs are provided. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Any] DEFAULT: UNDEFINED

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
attachment	If provided, the message attachment. This can be a resource, or string of a path on your computer or a URL. Attachments can be passed as many different things, to aid in convenience. If a pathlib.PurePath or str to a valid URL, the resource at the given URL will be streamed to Discord when sending the message. Subclasses of hikari.files.WebResource such as hikari.files.URL, hikari.messages.Attachment, hikari.emojis.Emoji, hikari.embeds.EmbedResource, etc will also be uploaded this way. This will use bit-inception, so only a small percentage of the resource will remain in memory at any one time, thus aiding in scalability. If a hikari.files.Bytes is passed, or a str that contains a valid data URI is passed, then this is uploaded with a randomized file name if not provided. If a hikari.files.File, pathlib.PurePath or str that is an absolute or relative path to a file on your file system is passed, then this resource is uploaded as an attachment using non-blocking code internally and streamed using bit-inception where possible. This depends on the type of concurrent.futures.Executor that is being used for the application (default is a thread pool which supports this behaviour). TYPE: UndefinedOr[Resourceish]
attachments	If provided, the message attachments. These can be resources, or strings consisting of paths on your computer or URLs. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Resourceish]]
component	If provided, builder object of the component to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[ComponentBuilder]
components	If provided, a sequence of the component builder objects to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[ComponentBuilder]]
embed	If provided, the message embed. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Embed]
embeds	If provided, the message embeds. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Embed]]
sticker	If provided, the object or ID of a sticker to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialSticker]]
stickers	If provided, a sequence of the objects and IDs of up to 3 stickers to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialSticker]]
tts	If provided, whether the message will be TTS (Text To Speech). TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
reply	If provided, the message to reply to. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]
reply_must_exist	If provided, whether to error if the message being replied to does not exist instead of sending as a normal (non-reply) message. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_everyone	If provided, whether the message should parse @everyone/@here mentions. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_reply	If provided, whether to mention the author of the message that is being replied to. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
user_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.users.PartialUser derivatives to enforce mentioning specific users. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialUser], bool]]
role_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.guilds.PartialRole derivatives to enforce mentioning specific roles. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialRole], bool]]
flags	If provided, optional flags to set on the message. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing is changed. Note that some flags may not be able to be set. Currently the only flags that can be set are hikari.messages.MessageFlag.NONE and hikari.messages.MessageFlag.SUPPRESS_EMBEDS. TYPE: UndefinedOr[MessageFlag]

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Message	The created message.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BadRequestError	This may be raised in several discrete situations, such as messages being empty with no attachments or embeds; messages with more than 2000 characters in them, embeds that exceed one of the many embed limits; too many attachments; attachments that are too large; invalid image URLs in embeds; reply not found or not in the same channel; too many components.
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you lack permissions to send messages in the given channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.
ValueError	If more than 100 unique objects/entities are passed for role_mentions or user_mentions.
TypeError	If both attachment and attachments are specified.

trigger_typing

trigger_typing() -> TypingIndicator

Trigger typing in a given channel.

This returns an object that can either be awaited to trigger typing once, or used as an async context manager to keep typing until the block completes.

    await channel.trigger_typing()   # type for 10s

    async with channel.trigger_typing():
        await asyncio.sleep(35)            # keep typing until this finishes

Note

Sending a message to this channel will stop the typing indicator. If using an async with, it will start up again after a few seconds. This is a limitation of Discord's API.

    ],
    /,
    *other_messages: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage],
) -> None

Bulk-delete messages from the channel.

Note

This API endpoint will only be able to delete 100 messages at a time. For anything more than this, multiple requests will be executed one-after-the-other, since the rate limits for this endpoint do not favour more than one request per bucket.

If one message is left over from chunking per 100 messages, or only one message is passed to this coroutine function, then the logic is expected to defer to delete_message. The implication of this is that the delete_message endpoint is ratelimited by a different bucket with different usage rates.

Warning

This endpoint is not atomic. If an error occurs midway through a bulk delete, you will not be able to revert any changes made up to this point.

Warning

Specifying any messages more than 14 days old will cause the call to fail, potentially with partial completion.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
messages	Either the object/ID of an existing message to delete or an iterable (sync or async) of the objects and/or IDs of existing messages to delete. TYPE: Union[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage], Iterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]], AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]]

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
*other_messages	The objects and/or IDs of other existing messages to delete. TYPE: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]

) -> Message

Create a message in this channel.

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

content

If provided, the message contents. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing will be sent in the content. Any other value here will be cast to a str. If this is a hikari.embeds.Embed and no embed nor embeds kwarg is provided, then this will instead update the embed. This allows for simpler syntax when sending an embed alone. Likewise, if this is a hikari.files.Resource, then the content is instead treated as an attachment if no attachment and no attachments kwargs are provided. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Any] DEFAULT: UNDEFINED

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
attachment	If provided, the message attachment. This can be a resource, or string of a path on your computer or a URL. Attachments can be passed as many different things, to aid in convenience. If a pathlib.PurePath or str to a valid URL, the resource at the given URL will be streamed to Discord when sending the message. Subclasses of hikari.files.WebResource such as hikari.files.URL, hikari.messages.Attachment, hikari.emojis.Emoji, hikari.embeds.EmbedResource, etc will also be uploaded this way. This will use bit-inception, so only a small percentage of the resource will remain in memory at any one time, thus aiding in scalability. If a hikari.files.Bytes is passed, or a str that contains a valid data URI is passed, then this is uploaded with a randomized file name if not provided. If a hikari.files.File, pathlib.PurePath or str that is an absolute or relative path to a file on your file system is passed, then this resource is uploaded as an attachment using non-blocking code internally and streamed using bit-inception where possible. This depends on the type of concurrent.futures.Executor that is being used for the application (default is a thread pool which supports this behaviour). TYPE: UndefinedOr[Resourceish]
attachments	If provided, the message attachments. These can be resources, or strings consisting of paths on your computer or URLs. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Resourceish]]
component	If provided, builder object of the component to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[ComponentBuilder]
components	If provided, a sequence of the component builder objects to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[ComponentBuilder]]
embed	If provided, the message embed. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Embed]
embeds	If provided, the message embeds. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Embed]]
sticker	If provided, the object or ID of a sticker to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialSticker]]
stickers	If provided, a sequence of the objects and IDs of up to 3 stickers to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialSticker]]
tts	If provided, whether the message will be TTS (Text To Speech). TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
reply	If provided, the message to reply to. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]
reply_must_exist	If provided, whether to error if the message being replied to does not exist instead of sending as a normal (non-reply) message. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_everyone	If provided, whether the message should parse @everyone/@here mentions. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_reply	If provided, whether to mention the author of the message that is being replied to. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
user_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.users.PartialUser derivatives to enforce mentioning specific users. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialUser], bool]]
role_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.guilds.PartialRole derivatives to enforce mentioning specific roles. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialRole], bool]]
flags	If provided, optional flags to set on the message. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing is changed. Note that some flags may not be able to be set. Currently the only flags that can be set are hikari.messages.MessageFlag.NONE and hikari.messages.MessageFlag.SUPPRESS_EMBEDS. TYPE: UndefinedOr[MessageFlag]

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Message	The created message.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BadRequestError	This may be raised in several discrete situations, such as messages being empty with no attachments or embeds; messages with more than 2000 characters in them, embeds that exceed one of the many embed limits; too many attachments; attachments that are too large; invalid image URLs in embeds; reply not found or not in the same channel; too many components.
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you lack permissions to send messages in the given channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.
ValueError	If more than 100 unique objects/entities are passed for role_mentions or user_mentions.
TypeError	If both attachment and attachments are specified.

trigger_typing

trigger_typing() -> TypingIndicator

delete async

delete() -> PartialChannel

Delete a channel in a guild, or close a DM.

Note

For Public servers, the set 'Rules' or 'Guidelines' channels and the 'Public Server Updates' channel cannot be deleted.

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
PartialChannel	Object of the channel that was deleted.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you are missing the hikari.permissions.Permissions.MANAGE_CHANNELS permission in the channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
RateLimitTooLongError	Raised in the event that a rate limit occurs that is longer than max_rate_limit when making a request.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.

delete_messages async

delete_messages(
    messages: Union[
        SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage],

        AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]],
    ],
    /,
    *other_messages: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage],
) -> None

Bulk-delete messages from the channel.

Note

This API endpoint will only be able to delete 100 messages at a time. For anything more than this, multiple requests will be executed one-after-the-other, since the rate limits for this endpoint do not favour more than one request per bucket.

If one message is left over from chunking per 100 messages, or only one message is passed to this coroutine function, then the logic is expected to defer to delete_message. The implication of this is that the delete_message endpoint is ratelimited by a different bucket with different usage rates.

Warning

This endpoint is not atomic. If an error occurs midway through a bulk delete, you will not be able to revert any changes made up to this point.

Warning

Specifying any messages more than 14 days old will cause the call to fail, potentially with partial completion.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
messages	Either the object/ID of an existing message to delete or an iterable (sync or async) of the objects and/or IDs of existing messages to delete. TYPE: Union[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage], Iterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]], AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]]

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
*other_messages	The objects and/or IDs of other existing messages to delete. TYPE: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BulkDeleteError	An error containing the messages successfully deleted, and the messages that were not removed. The BaseException.__cause__ of the exception will be the original error that terminated this process.

    ] = undefined.UNDEFINED,
    flags: Union[UndefinedType, int, MessageFlag] = undefined.UNDEFINED
) -> Message

Create a message in this channel.

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

content

If provided, the message contents. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing will be sent in the content. Any other value here will be cast to a str. If this is a hikari.embeds.Embed and no embed nor embeds kwarg is provided, then this will instead update the embed. This allows for simpler syntax when sending an embed alone. Likewise, if this is a hikari.files.Resource, then the content is instead treated as an attachment if no attachment and no attachments kwargs are provided. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Any] DEFAULT: UNDEFINED

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
attachment	If provided, the message attachment. This can be a resource, or string of a path on your computer or a URL. Attachments can be passed as many different things, to aid in convenience. If a pathlib.PurePath or str to a valid URL, the resource at the given URL will be streamed to Discord when sending the message. Subclasses of hikari.files.WebResource such as hikari.files.URL, hikari.messages.Attachment, hikari.emojis.Emoji, hikari.embeds.EmbedResource, etc will also be uploaded this way. This will use bit-inception, so only a small percentage of the resource will remain in memory at any one time, thus aiding in scalability. If a hikari.files.Bytes is passed, or a str that contains a valid data URI is passed, then this is uploaded with a randomized file name if not provided. If a hikari.files.File, pathlib.PurePath or str that is an absolute or relative path to a file on your file system is passed, then this resource is uploaded as an attachment using non-blocking code internally and streamed using bit-inception where possible. This depends on the type of concurrent.futures.Executor that is being used for the application (default is a thread pool which supports this behaviour). TYPE: UndefinedOr[Resourceish]
attachments	If provided, the message attachments. These can be resources, or strings consisting of paths on your computer or URLs. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Resourceish]]
component	If provided, builder object of the component to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[ComponentBuilder]
components	If provided, a sequence of the component builder objects to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[ComponentBuilder]]
embed	If provided, the message embed. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Embed]
embeds	If provided, the message embeds. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Embed]]
sticker	If provided, the object or ID of a sticker to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialSticker]]
stickers	If provided, a sequence of the objects and IDs of up to 3 stickers to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialSticker]]
tts	If provided, whether the message will be TTS (Text To Speech). TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
reply	If provided, the message to reply to. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]
reply_must_exist	If provided, whether to error if the message being replied to does not exist instead of sending as a normal (non-reply) message. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_everyone	If provided, whether the message should parse @everyone/@here mentions. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_reply	If provided, whether to mention the author of the message that is being replied to. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
user_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.users.PartialUser derivatives to enforce mentioning specific users. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialUser], bool]]
role_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.guilds.PartialRole derivatives to enforce mentioning specific roles. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialRole], bool]]
flags	If provided, optional flags to set on the message. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing is changed. Note that some flags may not be able to be set. Currently the only flags that can be set are hikari.messages.MessageFlag.NONE and hikari.messages.MessageFlag.SUPPRESS_EMBEDS. TYPE: UndefinedOr[MessageFlag]

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Message	The created message.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BadRequestError	This may be raised in several discrete situations, such as messages being empty with no attachments or embeds; messages with more than 2000 characters in them, embeds that exceed one of the many embed limits; too many attachments; attachments that are too large; invalid image URLs in embeds; reply not found or not in the same channel; too many components.
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you lack permissions to send messages in the given channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.
ValueError	If more than 100 unique objects/entities are passed for role_mentions or user_mentions.
TypeError	If both attachment and attachments are specified.

trigger_typing

trigger_typing() -> TypingIndicator

Trigger typing in a given channel.

This returns an object that can either be awaited to trigger typing once, or used as an async context manager to keep typing until the block completes.

    flags: Union[UndefinedType, int, MessageFlag] = undefined.UNDEFINED
) -> Message

Create a message in this channel.

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

content

If provided, the message contents. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing will be sent in the content. Any other value here will be cast to a str. If this is a hikari.embeds.Embed and no embed nor embeds kwarg is provided, then this will instead update the embed. This allows for simpler syntax when sending an embed alone. Likewise, if this is a hikari.files.Resource, then the content is instead treated as an attachment if no attachment and no attachments kwargs are provided. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Any] DEFAULT: UNDEFINED

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
attachment	If provided, the message attachment. This can be a resource, or string of a path on your computer or a URL. Attachments can be passed as many different things, to aid in convenience. If a pathlib.PurePath or str to a valid URL, the resource at the given URL will be streamed to Discord when sending the message. Subclasses of hikari.files.WebResource such as hikari.files.URL, hikari.messages.Attachment, hikari.emojis.Emoji, hikari.embeds.EmbedResource, etc will also be uploaded this way. This will use bit-inception, so only a small percentage of the resource will remain in memory at any one time, thus aiding in scalability. If a hikari.files.Bytes is passed, or a str that contains a valid data URI is passed, then this is uploaded with a randomized file name if not provided. If a hikari.files.File, pathlib.PurePath or str that is an absolute or relative path to a file on your file system is passed, then this resource is uploaded as an attachment using non-blocking code internally and streamed using bit-inception where possible. This depends on the type of concurrent.futures.Executor that is being used for the application (default is a thread pool which supports this behaviour). TYPE: UndefinedOr[Resourceish]
attachments	If provided, the message attachments. These can be resources, or strings consisting of paths on your computer or URLs. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Resourceish]]
component	If provided, builder object of the component to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[ComponentBuilder]
components	If provided, a sequence of the component builder objects to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[ComponentBuilder]]
embed	If provided, the message embed. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Embed]
embeds	If provided, the message embeds. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Embed]]
sticker	If provided, the object or ID of a sticker to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialSticker]]
stickers	If provided, a sequence of the objects and IDs of up to 3 stickers to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialSticker]]
tts	If provided, whether the message will be TTS (Text To Speech). TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
reply	If provided, the message to reply to. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]
reply_must_exist	If provided, whether to error if the message being replied to does not exist instead of sending as a normal (non-reply) message. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_everyone	If provided, whether the message should parse @everyone/@here mentions. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_reply	If provided, whether to mention the author of the message that is being replied to. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
user_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.users.PartialUser derivatives to enforce mentioning specific users. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialUser], bool]]
role_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.guilds.PartialRole derivatives to enforce mentioning specific roles. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialRole], bool]]
flags	If provided, optional flags to set on the message. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing is changed. Note that some flags may not be able to be set. Currently the only flags that can be set are hikari.messages.MessageFlag.NONE and hikari.messages.MessageFlag.SUPPRESS_EMBEDS. TYPE: UndefinedOr[MessageFlag]

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Message	The created message.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BadRequestError	This may be raised in several discrete situations, such as messages being empty with no attachments or embeds; messages with more than 2000 characters in them, embeds that exceed one of the many embed limits; too many attachments; attachments that are too large; invalid image URLs in embeds; reply not found or not in the same channel; too many components.
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you lack permissions to send messages in the given channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.
ValueError	If more than 100 unique objects/entities are passed for role_mentions or user_mentions.
TypeError	If both attachment and attachments are specified.

trigger_typing

trigger_typing() -> TypingIndicator

Trigger typing in a given channel.

This returns an object that can either be awaited to trigger typing once, or used as an async context manager to keep typing until the block completes.

    async with channel.trigger_typing():
        await asyncio.sleep(35)            # keep typing until this finishes

Note

Sending a message to this channel will stop the typing indicator. If using an async with, it will start up again after a few seconds. This is a limitation of Discord's API.

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
TypingIndicator	The typing indicator object.

unpin_message async

unpin_message(message: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]) -> None

Unpin a given message from the text channel.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION

Note

For Public servers, the set 'Rules' or 'Guidelines' channels and the 'Public Server Updates' channel cannot be deleted.

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
PartialChannel	Object of the channel that was deleted.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you are missing the hikari.permissions.Permissions.MANAGE_CHANNELS permission in the channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
RateLimitTooLongError	Raised in the event that a rate limit occurs that is longer than max_rate_limit when making a request.

delete_messages async

        AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]],
    ],
    /,
    *other_messages: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage],
) -> None

Bulk-delete messages from the channel.

Note

This API endpoint will only be able to delete 100 messages at a time. For anything more than this, multiple requests will be executed one-after-the-other, since the rate limits for this endpoint do not favour more than one request per bucket.

If one message is left over from chunking per 100 messages, or only one message is passed to this coroutine function, then the logic is expected to defer to delete_message. The implication of this is that the delete_message endpoint is ratelimited by a different bucket with different usage rates.

Warning

This endpoint is not atomic. If an error occurs midway through a bulk delete, you will not be able to revert any changes made up to this point.

Warning

Specifying any messages more than 14 days old will cause the call to fail, potentially with partial completion.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
messages	Either the object/ID of an existing message to delete or an iterable (sync or async) of the objects and/or IDs of existing messages to delete. TYPE: Union[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage], Iterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]], AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]]

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
*other_messages	The objects and/or IDs of other existing messages to delete. TYPE: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BulkDeleteError	An error containing the messages successfully deleted, and the messages that were not removed. The BaseException.__cause__ of the exception will be the original error that terminated this process.

    ] = undefined.UNDEFINED,
    flags: Union[UndefinedType, int, MessageFlag] = undefined.UNDEFINED
) -> Message

Create a message in this channel.

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

content

If provided, the message contents. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing will be sent in the content. Any other value here will be cast to a str. If this is a hikari.embeds.Embed and no embed nor embeds kwarg is provided, then this will instead update the embed. This allows for simpler syntax when sending an embed alone. Likewise, if this is a hikari.files.Resource, then the content is instead treated as an attachment if no attachment and no attachments kwargs are provided. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Any] DEFAULT: UNDEFINED

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
attachment	If provided, the message attachment. This can be a resource, or string of a path on your computer or a URL. Attachments can be passed as many different things, to aid in convenience. If a pathlib.PurePath or str to a valid URL, the resource at the given URL will be streamed to Discord when sending the message. Subclasses of hikari.files.WebResource such as hikari.files.URL, hikari.messages.Attachment, hikari.emojis.Emoji, hikari.embeds.EmbedResource, etc will also be uploaded this way. This will use bit-inception, so only a small percentage of the resource will remain in memory at any one time, thus aiding in scalability. If a hikari.files.Bytes is passed, or a str that contains a valid data URI is passed, then this is uploaded with a randomized file name if not provided. If a hikari.files.File, pathlib.PurePath or str that is an absolute or relative path to a file on your file system is passed, then this resource is uploaded as an attachment using non-blocking code internally and streamed using bit-inception where possible. This depends on the type of concurrent.futures.Executor that is being used for the application (default is a thread pool which supports this behaviour). TYPE: UndefinedOr[Resourceish]
attachments	If provided, the message attachments. These can be resources, or strings consisting of paths on your computer or URLs. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Resourceish]]
component	If provided, builder object of the component to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[ComponentBuilder]
components	If provided, a sequence of the component builder objects to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[ComponentBuilder]]
embed	If provided, the message embed. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Embed]
embeds	If provided, the message embeds. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Embed]]
sticker	If provided, the object or ID of a sticker to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialSticker]]
stickers	If provided, a sequence of the objects and IDs of up to 3 stickers to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialSticker]]
tts	If provided, whether the message will be TTS (Text To Speech). TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
reply	If provided, the message to reply to. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]
reply_must_exist	If provided, whether to error if the message being replied to does not exist instead of sending as a normal (non-reply) message. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_everyone	If provided, whether the message should parse @everyone/@here mentions. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_reply	If provided, whether to mention the author of the message that is being replied to. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
user_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.users.PartialUser derivatives to enforce mentioning specific users. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialUser], bool]]
role_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.guilds.PartialRole derivatives to enforce mentioning specific roles. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialRole], bool]]
flags	If provided, optional flags to set on the message. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing is changed. Note that some flags may not be able to be set. Currently the only flags that can be set are hikari.messages.MessageFlag.NONE and hikari.messages.MessageFlag.SUPPRESS_EMBEDS. TYPE: UndefinedOr[MessageFlag]

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Message	The created message.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BadRequestError	This may be raised in several discrete situations, such as messages being empty with no attachments or embeds; messages with more than 2000 characters in them, embeds that exceed one of the many embed limits; too many attachments; attachments that are too large; invalid image URLs in embeds; reply not found or not in the same channel; too many components.
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you lack permissions to send messages in the given channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.
ValueError	If more than 100 unique objects/entities are passed for role_mentions or user_mentions.
TypeError	If both attachment and attachments are specified.

trigger_typing

trigger_typing() -> TypingIndicator

Trigger typing in a given channel.

This returns an object that can either be awaited to trigger typing once, or used as an async context manager to keep typing until the block completes.

    ],
    /,
    *other_messages: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage],
) -> None

Bulk-delete messages from the channel.

Note

This API endpoint will only be able to delete 100 messages at a time. For anything more than this, multiple requests will be executed one-after-the-other, since the rate limits for this endpoint do not favour more than one request per bucket.

If one message is left over from chunking per 100 messages, or only one message is passed to this coroutine function, then the logic is expected to defer to delete_message. The implication of this is that the delete_message endpoint is ratelimited by a different bucket with different usage rates.

Warning

This endpoint is not atomic. If an error occurs midway through a bulk delete, you will not be able to revert any changes made up to this point.

Warning

Specifying any messages more than 14 days old will cause the call to fail, potentially with partial completion.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
messages	Either the object/ID of an existing message to delete or an iterable (sync or async) of the objects and/or IDs of existing messages to delete. TYPE: Union[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage], Iterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]], AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]]

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
*other_messages	The objects and/or IDs of other existing messages to delete. TYPE: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

content

If provided, the message contents. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing will be sent in the content. Any other value here will be cast to a str. If this is a hikari.embeds.Embed and no embed nor embeds kwarg is provided, then this will instead update the embed. This allows for simpler syntax when sending an embed alone. Likewise, if this is a hikari.files.Resource, then the content is instead treated as an attachment if no attachment and no attachments kwargs are provided. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Any] DEFAULT: UNDEFINED

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
attachment	If provided, the message attachment. This can be a resource, or string of a path on your computer or a URL. Attachments can be passed as many different things, to aid in convenience. If a pathlib.PurePath or str to a valid URL, the resource at the given URL will be streamed to Discord when sending the message. Subclasses of hikari.files.WebResource such as hikari.files.URL, hikari.messages.Attachment, hikari.emojis.Emoji, hikari.embeds.EmbedResource, etc will also be uploaded this way. This will use bit-inception, so only a small percentage of the resource will remain in memory at any one time, thus aiding in scalability. If a hikari.files.Bytes is passed, or a str that contains a valid data URI is passed, then this is uploaded with a randomized file name if not provided. If a hikari.files.File, pathlib.PurePath or str that is an absolute or relative path to a file on your file system is passed, then this resource is uploaded as an attachment using non-blocking code internally and streamed using bit-inception where possible. This depends on the type of concurrent.futures.Executor that is being used for the application (default is a thread pool which supports this behaviour). TYPE: UndefinedOr[Resourceish]
attachments	If provided, the message attachments. These can be resources, or strings consisting of paths on your computer or URLs. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Resourceish]]
component	If provided, builder object of the component to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[ComponentBuilder]
components	If provided, a sequence of the component builder objects to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[ComponentBuilder]]
embed	If provided, the message embed. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Embed]
embeds	If provided, the message embeds. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Embed]]
sticker	If provided, the object or ID of a sticker to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialSticker]]
stickers	If provided, a sequence of the objects and IDs of up to 3 stickers to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialSticker]]
tts	If provided, whether the message will be TTS (Text To Speech). TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
reply	If provided, the message to reply to. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]
reply_must_exist	If provided, whether to error if the message being replied to does not exist instead of sending as a normal (non-reply) message. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_everyone	If provided, whether the message should parse @everyone/@here mentions. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_reply	If provided, whether to mention the author of the message that is being replied to. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
user_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.users.PartialUser derivatives to enforce mentioning specific users. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialUser], bool]]
role_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.guilds.PartialRole derivatives to enforce mentioning specific roles. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialRole], bool]]
flags	If provided, optional flags to set on the message. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing is changed. Note that some flags may not be able to be set. Currently the only flags that can be set are hikari.messages.MessageFlag.NONE and hikari.messages.MessageFlag.SUPPRESS_EMBEDS. TYPE: UndefinedOr[MessageFlag]

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Message	The created message.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BadRequestError	This may be raised in several discrete situations, such as messages being empty with no attachments or embeds; messages with more than 2000 characters in them, embeds that exceed one of the many embed limits; too many attachments; attachments that are too large; invalid image URLs in embeds; reply not found or not in the same channel; too many components.
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you lack permissions to send messages in the given channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.
ValueError	If more than 100 unique objects/entities are passed for role_mentions or user_mentions.
TypeError	If both attachment and attachments are specified.

trigger_typing

trigger_typing() -> TypingIndicator

Trigger typing in a given channel.

This returns an object that can either be awaited to trigger typing once, or used as an async context manager to keep typing until the block completes.

    await channel.trigger_typing()   # type for 10s

    async with channel.trigger_typing():
        await asyncio.sleep(35)            # keep typing until this finishes

Note

Sending a message to this channel will stop the typing indicator. If using an async with, it will start up again after a few seconds. This is a limitation of Discord's API.

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
TypingIndicator	The typing indicator object.

unpin_message async

unpin_message(message: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]) -> None

Unpin a given message from the text channel.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
message	The message to unpin. This may be the object or the ID of an existing message. TYPE: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you are missing the hikari.permissions.Permissions.MANAGE_MESSAGES permission.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found or the message is not a pinned message in the given channel.
RateLimitTooLongError	Raised in the event that a rate limit occurs that is longer than max_rate_limit when making a request.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.

    ],
    /,
    *other_messages: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage],
) -> None

Bulk-delete messages from the channel.

Note

This API endpoint will only be able to delete 100 messages at a time. For anything more than this, multiple requests will be executed one-after-the-other, since the rate limits for this endpoint do not favour more than one request per bucket.

If one message is left over from chunking per 100 messages, or only one message is passed to this coroutine function, then the logic is expected to defer to delete_message. The implication of this is that the delete_message endpoint is ratelimited by a different bucket with different usage rates.

Warning

This endpoint is not atomic. If an error occurs midway through a bulk delete, you will not be able to revert any changes made up to this point.

Warning

Specifying any messages more than 14 days old will cause the call to fail, potentially with partial completion.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
messages	Either the object/ID of an existing message to delete or an iterable (sync or async) of the objects and/or IDs of existing messages to delete. TYPE: Union[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage], Iterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]], AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]]

If provided, the message contents. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing will be sent in the content. Any other value here will be cast to a str. If this is a hikari.embeds.Embed and no embed nor embeds kwarg is provided, then this will instead update the embed. This allows for simpler syntax when sending an embed alone. Likewise, if this is a hikari.files.Resource, then the content is instead treated as an attachment if no attachment and no attachments kwargs are provided. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Any] DEFAULT: UNDEFINED

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
attachment	If provided, the message attachment. This can be a resource, or string of a path on your computer or a URL. Attachments can be passed as many different things, to aid in convenience. If a pathlib.PurePath or str to a valid URL, the resource at the given URL will be streamed to Discord when sending the message. Subclasses of hikari.files.WebResource such as hikari.files.URL, hikari.messages.Attachment, hikari.emojis.Emoji, hikari.embeds.EmbedResource, etc will also be uploaded this way.

For Public servers, the set 'Rules' or 'Guidelines' channels and the 'Public Server Updates' channel cannot be deleted.

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
PartialChannel	Object of the channel that was deleted.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you are missing the hikari.permissions.Permissions.MANAGE_CHANNELS permission in the channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
RateLimitTooLongError	Raised in the event that a rate limit occurs that is longer than max_rate_limit when making a request.

    ],
    /,
    *other_messages: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage],
) -> None

Bulk-delete messages from the channel.

Note

This API endpoint will only be able to delete 100 messages at a time. For anything more than this, multiple requests will be executed one-after-the-other, since the rate limits for this endpoint do not favour more than one request per bucket.

If one message is left over from chunking per 100 messages, or only one message is passed to this coroutine function, then the logic is expected to defer to delete_message. The implication of this is that the delete_message endpoint is ratelimited by a different bucket with different usage rates.

Warning

This endpoint is not atomic. If an error occurs midway through a bulk delete, you will not be able to revert any changes made up to this point.

Warning

Specifying any messages more than 14 days old will cause the call to fail, potentially with partial completion.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
messages	Either the object/ID of an existing message to delete or an iterable (sync or async) of the objects and/or IDs of existing messages to delete. TYPE: Union[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage], Iterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]], AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]]

) -> Message

Create a message in this channel.

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

content

If provided, the message contents. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing will be sent in the content. Any other value here will be cast to a str. If this is a hikari.embeds.Embed and no embed nor embeds kwarg is provided, then this will instead update the embed. This allows for simpler syntax when sending an embed alone. Likewise, if this is a hikari.files.Resource, then the content is instead treated as an attachment if no attachment and no attachments kwargs are provided. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Any] DEFAULT: UNDEFINED

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
attachment	If provided, the message attachment. This can be a resource, or string of a path on your computer or a URL. Attachments can be passed as many different things, to aid in convenience. If a pathlib.PurePath or str to a valid URL, the resource at the given URL will be streamed to Discord when sending the message. Subclasses of hikari.files.WebResource such as hikari.files.URL, hikari.messages.Attachment, hikari.emojis.Emoji, hikari.embeds.EmbedResource, etc will also be uploaded this way. This will use bit-inception, so only a small percentage of the resource will remain in memory at any one time, thus aiding in scalability. If a hikari.files.Bytes is passed, or a str that contains a valid data URI is passed, then this is uploaded with a randomized file name if not provided. If a hikari.files.File, pathlib.PurePath or str that is an absolute or relative path to a file on your file system is passed, then this resource is uploaded as an attachment using non-blocking code internally and streamed using bit-inception where possible. This depends on the type of concurrent.futures.Executor that is being used for the application (default is a thread pool which supports this behaviour). TYPE: UndefinedOr[Resourceish]
attachments	If provided, the message attachments. These can be resources, or strings consisting of paths on your computer or URLs. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Resourceish]]
component	If provided, builder object of the component to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[ComponentBuilder]
components	If provided, a sequence of the component builder objects to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[ComponentBuilder]]
embed	If provided, the message embed. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Embed]
embeds	If provided, the message embeds. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Embed]]
sticker	If provided, the object or ID of a sticker to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialSticker]]
stickers	If provided, a sequence of the objects and IDs of up to 3 stickers to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialSticker]]
tts	If provided, whether the message will be TTS (Text To Speech). TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
reply	If provided, the message to reply to. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]
reply_must_exist	If provided, whether to error if the message being replied to does not exist instead of sending as a normal (non-reply) message. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_everyone	If provided, whether the message should parse @everyone/@here mentions. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_reply	If provided, whether to mention the author of the message that is being replied to. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
user_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.users.PartialUser derivatives to enforce mentioning specific users. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialUser], bool]]
role_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.guilds.PartialRole derivatives to enforce mentioning specific roles. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialRole], bool]]
flags	If provided, optional flags to set on the message. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing is changed. Note that some flags may not be able to be set. Currently the only flags that can be set are hikari.messages.MessageFlag.NONE and hikari.messages.MessageFlag.SUPPRESS_EMBEDS. TYPE: UndefinedOr[MessageFlag]

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Message	The created message.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BadRequestError	This may be raised in several discrete situations, such as messages being empty with no attachments or embeds; messages with more than 2000 characters in them, embeds that exceed one of the many embed limits; too many attachments; attachments that are too large; invalid image URLs in embeds; reply not found or not in the same channel; too many components.
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you lack permissions to send messages in the given channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.
ValueError	If more than 100 unique objects/entities are passed for role_mentions or user_mentions.
TypeError	If both attachment and attachments are specified.

trigger_typing

Return a raw mention string for the channel.

Note

There are platform specific inconsistencies with mentions of GuildCategories, GroupDMChannels and DMChannels showing the correct name but not being interactable.

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
str	The mention string to use.

name class-attribute instance-attribute

name: Optional[str] = field(eq=False, hash=False, repr=True)

The channel's name. This will be missing for DM channels.

parent_id class-attribute instance-attribute

parent_id: Optional[Snowflake] = field(eq=False, hash=False, repr=True)

The ID of the parent channel the channel belongs to.

For thread channels this will refer to the parent textable guild channel. For other guild channel types this will refer to the parent category and if no parent category is set for the channel, this will be None. For guild categories this will always be None.

permission_overwrites class-attribute instance-attribute

permission_overwrites: Mapping[Snowflake, PermissionOverwrite] = field(
    eq=False, hash=False, repr=False
)

The permission overwrites for the channel.

This maps the ID of the entity in the overwrite to the overwrite data.

position class-attribute instance-attribute

position: int = field(eq=False, hash=False, repr=False)

The sorting position of the channel.

Higher numbers appear further down the channel list.

region class-attribute instance-attribute

region: Optional[str] = field(eq=False, hash=False, repr=False)

ID of the voice region for this voice channel.

If set to None then this is set to "auto" mode where the used region will be decided based on the first person who connects to it when it's empty.

shard_id property

shard_id: Optional[int]

Return the shard ID for the shard.

This may be None if the shard count is not known.

type class-attribute instance-attribute

type: Union[ChannelType, int] = field(eq=False, hash=False, repr=True)

The channel's type.

user_limit class-attribute instance-attribute

user_limit: int = field(eq=False, hash=False, repr=True)

The user limit for the voice channel.

If this is 0, then assume no limit.

video_quality_mode: Union[VideoQualityMode, int] = field(
    eq=False, hash=False, repr=False
)

The video quality mode for the voice channel.

delete async

delete() -> PartialChannel

Delete a channel in a guild, or close a DM.

Note

For Public servers, the set 'Rules' or 'Guidelines' channels and the 'Public Server Updates' channel cannot be deleted.

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
PartialChannel	Object of the channel that was deleted.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you are missing the hikari.permissions.Permissions.MANAGE_CHANNELS permission in the channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
RateLimitTooLongError	Raised in the event that a rate limit occurs that is longer than max_rate_limit when making a request.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.

delete_messages async

delete_messages(
    messages: Union[
        SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage],
        Iterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]],
        AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]],
    ],
    /,
    *other_messages: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage],
) -> None

Bulk-delete messages from the channel.

Note

This API endpoint will only be able to delete 100 messages at a time. For anything more than this, multiple requests will be executed one-after-the-other, since the rate limits for this endpoint do not favour more than one request per bucket.

If one message is left over from chunking per 100 messages, or only one message is passed to this coroutine function, then the logic is expected to defer to delete_message. The implication of this is that the delete_message endpoint is ratelimited by a different bucket with different usage rates.

Warning

This endpoint is not atomic. If an error occurs midway through a bulk delete, you will not be able to revert any changes made up to this point.

Warning

Specifying any messages more than 14 days old will cause the call to fail, potentially with partial completion.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
messages	Either the object/ID of an existing message to delete or an iterable (sync or async) of the objects and/or IDs of existing messages to delete. TYPE: Union[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage], Iterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]], AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]]

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
*other_messages	The objects and/or IDs of other existing messages to delete. TYPE: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BulkDeleteError	An error containing the messages successfully deleted, and the messages that were not removed. The BaseException.__cause__ of the exception will be the original error that terminated this process.

) -> Message

Create a message in this channel.

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

content

If provided, the message contents. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing will be sent in the content. Any other value here will be cast to a str. If this is a hikari.embeds.Embed and no embed nor embeds kwarg is provided, then this will instead update the embed. This allows for simpler syntax when sending an embed alone. Likewise, if this is a hikari.files.Resource, then the content is instead treated as an attachment if no attachment and no attachments kwargs are provided. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Any] DEFAULT: UNDEFINED

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
attachment	If provided, the message attachment. This can be a resource, or string of a path on your computer or a URL. Attachments can be passed as many different things, to aid in convenience. If a pathlib.PurePath or str to a valid URL, the resource at the given URL will be streamed to Discord when sending the message. Subclasses of hikari.files.WebResource such as hikari.files.URL, hikari.messages.Attachment, hikari.emojis.Emoji, hikari.embeds.EmbedResource, etc will also be uploaded this way. This will use bit-inception, so only a small percentage of the resource will remain in memory at any one time, thus aiding in scalability. If a hikari.files.Bytes is passed, or a str that contains a valid data URI is passed, then this is uploaded with a randomized file name if not provided. If a hikari.files.File, pathlib.PurePath or str that is an absolute or relative path to a file on your file system is passed, then this resource is uploaded as an attachment using non-blocking code internally and streamed using bit-inception where possible. This depends on the type of concurrent.futures.Executor that is being used for the application (default is a thread pool which supports this behaviour). TYPE: UndefinedOr[Resourceish]
attachments	If provided, the message attachments. These can be resources, or strings consisting of paths on your computer or URLs. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Resourceish]]
component	If provided, builder object of the component to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[ComponentBuilder]
components	If provided, a sequence of the component builder objects to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[ComponentBuilder]]
embed	If provided, the message embed. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Embed]
embeds	If provided, the message embeds. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Embed]]
sticker	If provided, the object or ID of a sticker to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialSticker]]
stickers	If provided, a sequence of the objects and IDs of up to 3 stickers to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialSticker]]
tts	If provided, whether the message will be TTS (Text To Speech). TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
reply	If provided, the message to reply to. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]
reply_must_exist	If provided, whether to error if the message being replied to does not exist instead of sending as a normal (non-reply) message. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_everyone	If provided, whether the message should parse @everyone/@here mentions. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_reply	If provided, whether to mention the author of the message that is being replied to. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
user_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.users.PartialUser derivatives to enforce mentioning specific users. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialUser], bool]]
role_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.guilds.PartialRole derivatives to enforce mentioning specific roles. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialRole], bool]]
flags	If provided, optional flags to set on the message. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing is changed. Note that some flags may not be able to be set. Currently the only flags that can be set are hikari.messages.MessageFlag.NONE and hikari.messages.MessageFlag.SUPPRESS_EMBEDS. TYPE: UndefinedOr[MessageFlag]

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Message	The created message.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BadRequestError	This may be raised in several discrete situations, such as messages being empty with no attachments or embeds; messages with more than 2000 characters in them, embeds that exceed one of the many embed limits; too many attachments; attachments that are too large; invalid image URLs in embeds; reply not found or not in the same channel; too many components.
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you lack permissions to send messages in the given channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.
ValueError	If more than 100 unique objects/entities are passed for role_mentions or user_mentions.
TypeError	If both attachment and attachments are specified.

trigger_typing

trigger_typing() -> TypingIndicator

Trigger typing in a given channel.

This returns an object that can either be awaited to trigger typing once, or used as an async context manager to keep typing until the block completes.

    ],
    /,
    *other_messages: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage],
) -> None

Bulk-delete messages from the channel.

Note

This API endpoint will only be able to delete 100 messages at a time. For anything more than this, multiple requests will be executed one-after-the-other, since the rate limits for this endpoint do not favour more than one request per bucket.

If one message is left over from chunking per 100 messages, or only one message is passed to this coroutine function, then the logic is expected to defer to delete_message. The implication of this is that the delete_message endpoint is ratelimited by a different bucket with different usage rates.

Warning

This endpoint is not atomic. If an error occurs midway through a bulk delete, you will not be able to revert any changes made up to this point.

Warning

Specifying any messages more than 14 days old will cause the call to fail, potentially with partial completion.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
messages	Either the object/ID of an existing message to delete or an iterable (sync or async) of the objects and/or IDs of existing messages to delete. TYPE: Union[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage], Iterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]], AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]]

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
*other_messages	The objects and/or IDs of other existing messages to delete. TYPE: SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BulkDeleteError	An error containing the messages successfully deleted, and the messages that were not removed. The BaseException.__cause__ of the exception will be the original error that terminated this process.

) -> LazyIterator[Message]

Browse the message history for a given text channel.

Note

This call is not a coroutine function, it returns a special type of lazy iterator that will perform API calls as you iterate across it, thus any errors documented below will happen then. See hikari.iterators for the full API for this iterator type.

) -> Message

Create a message in this channel.

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

content

If provided, the message contents. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing will be sent in the content. Any other value here will be cast to a str. If this is a hikari.embeds.Embed and no embed nor embeds kwarg is provided, then this will instead update the embed. This allows for simpler syntax when sending an embed alone. Likewise, if this is a hikari.files.Resource, then the content is instead treated as an attachment if no attachment and no attachments kwargs are provided. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Any] DEFAULT: UNDEFINED

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
attachment	If provided, the message attachment. This can be a resource, or string of a path on your computer or a URL. Attachments can be passed as many different things, to aid in convenience. If a pathlib.PurePath or str to a valid URL, the resource at the given URL will be streamed to Discord when sending the message. Subclasses of hikari.files.WebResource such as hikari.files.URL, hikari.messages.Attachment, hikari.emojis.Emoji, hikari.embeds.EmbedResource, etc will also be uploaded this way. This will use bit-inception, so only a small percentage of the resource will remain in memory at any one time, thus aiding in scalability. If a hikari.files.Bytes is passed, or a str that contains a valid data URI is passed, then this is uploaded with a randomized file name if not provided. If a hikari.files.File, pathlib.PurePath or str that is an absolute or relative path to a file on your file system is passed, then this resource is uploaded as an attachment using non-blocking code internally and streamed using bit-inception where possible. This depends on the type of concurrent.futures.Executor that is being used for the application (default is a thread pool which supports this behaviour). TYPE: UndefinedOr[Resourceish]
attachments	If provided, the message attachments. These can be resources, or strings consisting of paths on your computer or URLs. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Resourceish]]
component	If provided, builder object of the component to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[ComponentBuilder]
components	If provided, a sequence of the component builder objects to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[ComponentBuilder]]
embed	If provided, the message embed. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Embed]
embeds	If provided, the message embeds. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Embed]]
sticker	If provided, the object or ID of a sticker to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialSticker]]
stickers	If provided, a sequence of the objects and IDs of up to 3 stickers to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialSticker]]
tts	If provided, whether the message will be TTS (Text To Speech). TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
reply	If provided, the message to reply to. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]
reply_must_exist	If provided, whether to error if the message being replied to does not exist instead of sending as a normal (non-reply) message. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_everyone	If provided, whether the message should parse @everyone/@here mentions. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_reply	If provided, whether to mention the author of the message that is being replied to. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
user_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.users.PartialUser derivatives to enforce mentioning specific users. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialUser], bool]]
role_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.guilds.PartialRole derivatives to enforce mentioning specific roles. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialRole], bool]]
flags	If provided, optional flags to set on the message. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing is changed. Note that some flags may not be able to be set. Currently the only flags that can be set are hikari.messages.MessageFlag.NONE and hikari.messages.MessageFlag.SUPPRESS_EMBEDS. TYPE: UndefinedOr[MessageFlag]

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Message	The created message.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BadRequestError	This may be raised in several discrete situations, such as messages being empty with no attachments or embeds; messages with more than 2000 characters in them, embeds that exceed one of the many embed limits; too many attachments; attachments that are too large; invalid image URLs in embeds; reply not found or not in the same channel; too many components.
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you lack permissions to send messages in the given channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.
ValueError	If more than 100 unique objects/entities are passed for role_mentions or user_mentions.
TypeError	If both attachment and attachments are specified.

trigger_typing

trigger_typing() -> TypingIndicator

Trigger typing in a given channel.

This returns an object that can either be awaited to trigger typing once, or used as an async context manager to keep typing until the block completes.

If one message is left over from chunking per 100 messages, or only one message is passed to this coroutine function, then the logic is expected to defer to delete_message. The implication of this is that the delete_message endpoint is ratelimited by a different bucket with different usage rates.

Warning

This endpoint is not atomic. If an error occurs midway through a bulk delete, you will not be able to revert any changes made up to this point.

Warning

Specifying any messages more than 14 days old will cause the call to fail, potentially with partial completion.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
messages	Either the object/ID of an existing message to delete or an iterable (sync or async) of the objects and/or IDs of existing messages to delete. TYPE: Union[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage], Iterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]], AsyncIterable[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]]

    ] = undefined.UNDEFINED,
    flags: Union[UndefinedType, int, MessageFlag] = undefined.UNDEFINED
) -> Message

Create a message in this channel.

PARAMETER

DESCRIPTION

content

If provided, the message contents. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing will be sent in the content. Any other value here will be cast to a str. If this is a hikari.embeds.Embed and no embed nor embeds kwarg is provided, then this will instead update the embed. This allows for simpler syntax when sending an embed alone. Likewise, if this is a hikari.files.Resource, then the content is instead treated as an attachment if no attachment and no attachments kwargs are provided. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Any] DEFAULT: UNDEFINED

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
attachment	If provided, the message attachment. This can be a resource, or string of a path on your computer or a URL. Attachments can be passed as many different things, to aid in convenience. If a pathlib.PurePath or str to a valid URL, the resource at the given URL will be streamed to Discord when sending the message. Subclasses of hikari.files.WebResource such as hikari.files.URL, hikari.messages.Attachment, hikari.emojis.Emoji, hikari.embeds.EmbedResource, etc will also be uploaded this way. This will use bit-inception, so only a small percentage of the resource will remain in memory at any one time, thus aiding in scalability. If a hikari.files.Bytes is passed, or a str that contains a valid data URI is passed, then this is uploaded with a randomized file name if not provided. If a hikari.files.File, pathlib.PurePath or str that is an absolute or relative path to a file on your file system is passed, then this resource is uploaded as an attachment using non-blocking code internally and streamed using bit-inception where possible. This depends on the type of concurrent.futures.Executor that is being used for the application (default is a thread pool which supports this behaviour). TYPE: UndefinedOr[Resourceish]
attachments	If provided, the message attachments. These can be resources, or strings consisting of paths on your computer or URLs. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Resourceish]]
component	If provided, builder object of the component to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[ComponentBuilder]
components	If provided, a sequence of the component builder objects to include in this message. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[ComponentBuilder]]
embed	If provided, the message embed. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Embed]
embeds	If provided, the message embeds. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Sequence[Embed]]
sticker	If provided, the object or ID of a sticker to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialSticker]]
stickers	If provided, a sequence of the objects and IDs of up to 3 stickers to send on the message. As of writing, bots can only send custom stickers from the current guild. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialSticker]]
tts	If provided, whether the message will be TTS (Text To Speech). TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
reply	If provided, the message to reply to. TYPE: UndefinedOr[SnowflakeishOr[PartialMessage]]
reply_must_exist	If provided, whether to error if the message being replied to does not exist instead of sending as a normal (non-reply) message. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_everyone	If provided, whether the message should parse @everyone/@here mentions. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
mentions_reply	If provided, whether to mention the author of the message that is being replied to. This will not do anything if not being used with reply. TYPE: UndefinedOr[bool]
user_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.users.PartialUser derivatives to enforce mentioning specific users. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialUser], bool]]
role_mentions	If provided, and True, all mentions will be parsed. If provided, and False, no mentions will be parsed. Alternatively this may be a collection of hikari.snowflakes.Snowflake, or hikari.guilds.PartialRole derivatives to enforce mentioning specific roles. TYPE: UndefinedOr[Union[SnowflakeishSequence[PartialRole], bool]]
flags	If provided, optional flags to set on the message. If hikari.undefined.UNDEFINED, then nothing is changed. Note that some flags may not be able to be set. Currently the only flags that can be set are hikari.messages.MessageFlag.NONE and hikari.messages.MessageFlag.SUPPRESS_EMBEDS. TYPE: UndefinedOr[MessageFlag]

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
Message	The created message.

RAISES	DESCRIPTION
BadRequestError	This may be raised in several discrete situations, such as messages being empty with no attachments or embeds; messages with more than 2000 characters in them, embeds that exceed one of the many embed limits; too many attachments; attachments that are too large; invalid image URLs in embeds; reply not found or not in the same channel; too many components.
UnauthorizedError	If you are unauthorized to make the request (invalid/missing token).
ForbiddenError	If you lack permissions to send messages in the given channel.
NotFoundError	If the channel is not found.
InternalServerError	If an internal error occurs on Discord while handling the request.
ValueError	If more than 100 unique objects/entities are passed for role_mentions or user_mentions.
TypeError	If both attachment and attachments are specified.

trigger_typing

trigger_typing() -> TypingIndicator

Trigger typing in a given channel.

This returns an object that can either be awaited to trigger typing once, or used as an async context manager to keep typing until the block completes.

    async with channel.trigger_typing():
        await asyncio.sleep(35)            # keep typing until this finishes

Note

Sending a message to this channel will stop the typing indicator. If using an async with, it will start up again after a few seconds. This is a limitation of Discord's API.

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
TypingIndicator	The typing indicator object.
