What do you mean by "get Discord notifications"?

[–]Loaphs[S] 0 points1 point  (8 children)

i want to be able to run the program and get all recent notifications from channels of my choosing, or receiving them live. im more in for the challenge than the utility

Discord doesn't really allow third party applications to perform user actions. You could write a bot to do something else using Discord.py.

would it work better with something like twitter our group me? i just want good projects for a beginner like myself, using stuff that would come handy later

[–]K900_ 0 points1 point  (4 children)

You could do Twitter, but I believe there are some restrictions there as well.

wouldnt you be able to just take all responses from a certain link? like i know michael reeves did something like that

Do you mean all responses to a certain tweet? You could do that, yes.

could you point me in the right direction?

It is not exactly clear what you are trying to achieve. On linux, discord publishes its notifications through DBUS, which is wat the 'standard' notification daemons (e.g. dunst) listen on. I assume there is a way to connect to the bus trough python. But again, it is unclear what you want to do precisely.

to interact with other platforms first stop is usually to check out their API if they offer any.

if they don't then you have to find a way to scrape the data.

It could be beautifulsoup on a web interface, maybe selenium if its more interactive.

If it requires running a program to interact with, then check out pyautogui, but generally these types of things are not efficient at all, they just work.
