Discord bot for playing music.

As a part of an activity of MLH Local Hack Day (2021): Day 1, I created a Discord bot for my server which can play music for me when i give it commands.

Inspiration

I am participating for the first time in MLH Local Hack Day. So I wanted to learn new things. I found this idea of building a discord bot very cool as it is something which can help me understanding about APIs better and I can also use this bot for myself in day-to-day life.

What it does

This is a Discord bot which will play music for you when you give it basic commands. You can use it to play, pause, resume and stop a song. Also you can use it to create a queue and add songs in it so that it can be played later.

How we built it

For building this discord bot I used the Autocode platform as it provides us a beginner-friendly environment to develop our applications which can be easily integrated with other 3rd party applications using their APIs. I built this discord bot in Nodejs using Discord's APIs.

Challenges we ran into

It was a challenging task to explore a new API and use it to make an application without any pre-existing knowledge while attending the event simultaneously. But my co-hackers at my guild, and the documentation provided by Autocode helped me to complete this challenge succesfully.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a cool Discord bot which can play music for you. All this I built within 2 hours in the first attempt.

What we learned

Now I have a basic understanding of how this Discord API works with my Nodejs application to achieve the basic tasks.

What's next for Discord bot for playing music.

I would explore more about this API in future and would try to make some more cool features.
