The goal
In this article, I’ll show you how to:
- Build the most basic Discord Bot.
- Link the Bot to a Discord Server.
- Add functionality to track Coronavirus cases for a given country.
Here’s a sneak peek of the final result.
Before we begin
Make sure you have these:
Discord Developer Portal
Application
Create an application in the Discord Developer Portal.
Once it’s created, you should see the Client ID. This will be used later on to connect the app to a discord server.
Bot
Before we can connect our application, we need to create a Bot.
Select Bot from the left menu, and then click Add Bot.
