Bots and Applications

Spacebar is backwards-compatibile with Discord.com, and so all existing bots and applications designed for Discord.com should work relatively easily when connected to a Spacebar instance instead.

The Discord Developer Panel is available at /developers, and allows you all the same functionality to create bots and applications on a Spacebar instance as Discord.com.

Bot Libraries

Discord.js

The Client class constructor accepts a http object, which you can use to change the endpoints used.

const { Client } = require("discord.js");

const client = new Client({
    http: {
        version: 9,
        api: "https://api.spacebar.chat",
        cdn: "https://cdn.spacebar.chat",
        invite: "https://spacebar.chat/invite",
    },
});

client.login("your token here");

Discord.py

import discord

discord.http.Route.BASE = "https://api.spacebar.chat"
client = discord.Client()

client.run('your token here')

JDA

  1. Create a RestConfig instance: RestConfig restConfig = new RestConfig();
  2. Use RestConfig#setBaseUrl to tell JDA what your Rest URI is (this NEEDS to include /api/, because it's the api base url for all requests): restConfig.setBaseUrl("https://{REPLACE HERE WITH YOUR API SERVER URL}/api/v9");
  3. Create another class, and extend ConcurrentSessionController, e.g. public class SpacebarSessionController extends ConcurrentSessionController
  4. Override the ConcurrentSessionController#getGateway method: 
        @NotNull
    @Override
    public String getGateway() {
        return "wss://{REPLACE HERE WITH YOUR GATEWAY SERVER URL}/?encoding=json&v=9&compress=zlib-stream";
    }
  5. Finally, configure JDA to use your RestConfig & SpacebarSessionController, like this: 
    JDA jda = JDABuilder.createDefault("not_a_real_token_lol")
                .setRestConfig(restConfig)
                .setSessionController(new SpacebarSessionController())
                .build();
