# Creating a Simple Discord Bot with Python
In this guide, we will build a basic Discord bot using Python and the powerful `discord.py` library. This bot will respond to simple commands, and we'll learn the fundamentals to expand it in the future.
## Prerequisites
* **Python:** Make sure you have Python installed (version 3.7 or higher).
* **discord.py:** Install the library using `pip install discord.py`.
* **A Discord account:** You'll need a Discord account and a server where the bot can operate.
## Creating a Bot on Discord (Step-by-Step)
1. **Create an Application on the Discord Developer Portal:**
* Go to the [Discord Developer Portal](https://discord.com/developers/applications).
* Click "New Application" and give your bot a name.
2. **Turn the Application into a Bot:**
* In your application's menu, go to "Bot".
* Click "Add Bot". Confirm the creation.
3. **Get the Bot Token:**
* On the Bot page, copy the "Token". **Keep this token a secret!**
4. **Invite the Bot to your Server:**
* Go to "OAuth2" -> "URL Generator".
* Select the "bot" scope and, under "Bot Permissions", choose the permissions your bot needs. To start, "Read Messages/View Channels" and "Send Messages" are sufficient.
* Copy the generated URL and paste it into your browser. This will redirect you to add the bot to your server.
## Python Code
Create a Python file (e.g., `my_bot.py`) and paste the following code:
```python
import discord
# Replace with your token!
TOKEN = 'YOUR_TOKEN_HERE'
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
@client.event
async def on_ready():
print(f'Logged in as {client.user}')
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content.startswith('!hello'):
await message.channel.send('Hello!')
elif message.content.startswith('!ping'):
await message.channel.send('Pong!')
client.run(TOKEN)
