UPDATE COMING SOON - Discord.js-Bad-Links - Delete/mute for harmful/malicious links

Now updated & working with discord.js v13!

Automatically delete messages that contain bad links and permanently mute the user for doing so.

This code can work as a standalone bot, or it can be added to your existing discord.js bot code.

Get a list of harmful links either through an API or provided JSON file.

Instructions of how to set up both of the bots can be found below, and in each of the code folders. If you have any issues with setting up this code as a standalone bot, or merging it into your existing code, feel free to open an issue and I will be happy to assist

Note: I will not provide direct instructions on how to merge this code with your existing code, however I will provide advice in issues if needed.

This code was last tested & working with discord.js v13.3.1 & node.js v16.3.0.

• You will need to of created your discord bot.
• If using the API version, you must have your own API URL to use.
