how to use an api with python for a discord bot code example

Example 1: discord bot python

# To make a simple discord bot that when the message content is '.hello'
# first you need to create a bot on discord.com/developers/
#there are many tutorials on how to create a bot
# then use py -3 -m pip install -U discord.py[voice] in terminal
# or if you're on mac/linux python3 -m pip install -U discord.py[voice]
import discord.py

client = discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print("Logged in as {0.user}".format(client)

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
      #this will prevent the bot from responding to itself
      if message.author == client.user:
      		return
      
      #now let's start with the message content check
      if message.content == '.hello':
          print("Hello there!!")
          
#now run the bot
client.run('here put your token')

#and now when you run the program the bot will be online and working

Example 2: discord python bot

from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="^^")
async def on_ready():
	print("Logged in as - {} | {}".format(bot.user, bot.user.id))
	print("Invite link | https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id={}&scope=bot&permissions=8".format(
			bot.user.id))

bot.run("__TOKEN__")
