Shard intents for controlling which events the application receives.

class hikari.intents.Intents[source]#

Bases: hikari.internal.enums.Flag

Represents an intent on the gateway.

This is a bitfield representation of all the categories of event that you wish to receive.

Any events not in an intent category will be fired regardless of what intents you provide.

Note

Discord now places limits on certain events you can receive without whitelisting your bot first. On the Bot tab in the developer’s portal for your bot, you should now have the option to enable functionality for receiving these events.

If you attempt to request an intent type that you have not whitelisted your bot for, you will be disconnected on startup with a 4014 closure code.

Warning

If you are using the V7 Gateway, you will be REQUIRED to provide some form of intent value when you connect. Failure to do so may result in immediate termination of the session server-side.

This enum is an enum.IntFlag, which means that you can use bitwise operators to join and splice multiple intents into one value.

For example, if we wish to only refer to the GUILDS intent, then it is simply a case of accessing it normally.

my_intents = Intents.GUILDS

If we wanted to have several intents grouped together, we would use the bitwise-or operator to combine them (|). This can be done in-place with the |= operator if needed.

# One or two values that fit on one line.
my_intents = Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES | Intents.PRIVATE_MESSAGES

# Several intents together. You may find it useful to format these like
# so to keep your code readable.
my_intents = (
    Intents.GUILDS             |
    Intents.GUILD_EMOJIS       |
    Intents.GUILD_INTEGRATIONS |
    Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES     |
    Intents.GUILD_MODERATION   |
    Intents.PRIVATE_MESSAGES
)

To check if an intent is present in a given intents bitfield, you can use the bitwise-and operator (&) to check. This returns the “intersection” or “crossover” between the left and right-hand side of the &. You can then use the == operator to check that specific values are present. You can check in-place with the &= operator if needed.

# Check if an intent is set:
if (my_intents & Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES) == Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES:
    print("Guild messages are enabled")

# Checking if ALL in a combination are set:
expected_intents = (Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES | Intents.PRIVATE_MESSAGES)
if (my_intents & expected_intents) == expected_intents:
    print("Messages are enabled in guilds and private messages.")

# Checking if AT LEAST ONE in a combination is set:
expected_intents = (Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES | Intents.PRIVATE_MESSAGES)
if my_intents & expected_intents:
    print("Messages are enabled in guilds or private messages.")

Removing one or more intents from a combination can be done with the bitwise-xor (^) operator. The ^= operator can do this in-place.

# Remove GUILD_MESSAGES
my_intents = my_intents ^ Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES
# or, simplifying:
my_intents ^= Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES

# Remove all messages events.
my_intents = my_intents ^ (Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES | Intents.PRIVATE_MESSAGES)
# or, simplifying
my_intents ^= (Intents.GUILD_MESSAGES | Intents.PRIVATE_MESSAGES)
property is_privileged: bool[source]#

Determine whether the intent requires elevated privileges.

If this is True, you will be required to opt-in to using this intent on the Discord Developer Portal before you can utilise it in your application.
