Getting Member of a discord server given server id

Question

I want to create a script that given a server id, it should return all the member of that discord server. and given a user authentification token, it should check if he is a member of that server.

I have been looking how to do this but in vain! I have tried those 3 questions but they don't give me any information on what I want to do.

Question 1

Question 2

Question 3

Here is what i have tried according to the documentation and get started tutorial:

import discord
import asyncio
import os


client = discord.Client()
email  = os.getenv('Email')
password = os.getenv('Password')
server = discord.Server(id='416940353564704768')
@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Logged in as')
    print(client.user.name)
    print(client.user.id)
    print('------')
    print('get all channel a client belong to ')
    if server.members:
        for member in server.members:
            print('name{}'.format(member.user.name) )
    else:
        print('any')

client.run(email, password)

But it always prints any. Any helps will be appreciated, it looks like I'm missing something on how discord works.

Answer 1

A couple things to point out:

• You need to get the server from the client. You can't just do discord.Server(id="111111"). Instead, use the get_server method. client.get_server(id="11111").

• Put the get_server method in the on_ready event. This ensures the client is connected to discord and has received its server list and all other data.

• A Member object is just a subclass of User; therefore, you can't do Member.user.name because neither Member nor User have a user property. You only need to do Member.name.

• Lastly, I wouldn't recommend you to use a self bot. That is, using your own discord account as though it were a bot. You should use an actual bot account with its token.

Ultimately, your code should look like this.

import discord
import asyncio
import os

client = discord.Client()
email  = os.getenv('Email')
password = os.getenv('Password')

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    server = client.get_server(id="416940353564704768")
    print('Logged in as')
    print(client.user.name)
    print(client.user.id)
    print('------')
    print('get all channel a client belong to ')
    if server:
        for member in server.members:
            print('name: {}'.format(member.name) )
    else:
        print('any')

client.run(email, password)

As for your second question, I'm not sure what you mean by "given a user authentification token, it should check if he is a member of that server.". If you're given their login token, I don't exactly know how you'd use that to check if they're in a sever without logging into that account. And if you do plan on logging in to the account, I believe you'll need to do that in a separate script. However, you can easily check if the logged in client is in a server:

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    server = discord.utils.get(client.servers, id="416940353564704768")
    print('Logged in as')
    print(client.user.name)
    print(client.user.id)
    print('------')

    if server:
        print("Client is a member of: {}".format(server.name))
    else:
        print("Client is not a member")
