## Overview

**dhooks-lite** is a library with a set of classes for interacting with Discord webhooks written in Python 3.

This library aims to differentiate itself from similar libraries with the following properties:

- is fully tested
- simple to use (only one way of doing things, same name of attributes and objects as in the [official Discord documentation](https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook#execute-webhook))
- has logging
- requests are automatically retried and have sensible timeouts

## Functionality

This library provides following functionality:

- Posting messages in Discord channels via webhooks (synchronous calls only)
- Attaching Embeds to messages
- Retrieve send reports and from Discord
- Retrieve HTTP status and headers from Discord, e.g. for implementing rate limit handling

## Examples

Here are some examples on how to use dhooks-lite in your Python scripts.

Note that you also find the source code of all examples in the `/examples` folder of this repo.

### Hello World

Minimal example for posting a message.

```python
from dhooks_lite import Webhook

hook = Webhook(DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL)
hook.execute('Hello, World!')
```

![example1](https://i.imgur.com/t3mxMAJ.png)

### Posting with custom avatar

In this example we are setting username and avatar.

```python
from dhooks_lite import Webhook

hook = Webhook(
    DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL,
    username='Bruce Wayne',
    avatar_url='https://i.imgur.com/thK8erv.png'
)
hook.execute('I am Batman!')
```

![example2](https://i.imgur.com/mseg2Yx.png)

### Complete example with embeds

Finally, here is an example for posting a message with two embeds and using all available features (shortened):

```python
import datetime
from dhooks_lite import Webhook, Embed, Footer, Image, Thumbnail, Author, Field

hook = Webhook(DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL)
e1 = Embed(
    description='Only a few years ago, scientists stumbled upon an electrical current of cosmic proportions.(...)',
    title='Universe\'s highest electric current found',
    url='https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21028174-900-universes-highest-electric-current-found/',
    timestamp=datetime.datetime.utcnow(),
    color=0x5CDBF0,
    footer=Footer(
        'Science Department',
        'https://i.imgur.com/Bgsv04h.png'
    ),
    image=Image('https://i.imgur.com/eis1Y0P.jpg'),
    thumbnail=Thumbnail('https://i.imgur.com/2A4k28x.jpg'),
    author=Author(
        'John Scientist',
        url='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein',
        icon_url='https://i.imgur.com/1JoHDw1.png'
    ),
    fields=[
        Field('1st Measurement', 'Failed'),
        Field('2nd Measurement', 'Succeeded')
    ]
)
e2 = Embed(description="TOP SECRET - Do not distribute!")

hook.execute(
    'Checkout this new report from the science department:',
    username='Bruce Wayne',
    avatar_url='https://i.imgur.com/thK8erv.png',
    embeds=[e1, e2],
    wait_for_response=True
)
```
