Introduction

This project uses the discord.js library to create a webhook which can display past and current status-changes of the official Discord API. The information is taken from discordstatus.com, the official Discord API's status page.

The resulting messages look like this:

Getting started

Clone this repository by running the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/Laennart/discord-api-status-webhook.git
cd discord-api-status-webhook/

Creating a webhook

  1. Navigate to your discord server and choose a channel where you want the updates to be displayed.
  2. Go into the channels settings and navigate to the Integrations menu. channel-settings
  3. Click on "Create Webhook", give it a name and save your changes. create-webhook
  4. Copy the Webhook URL into the config file.

Configuration

Before you can start using the webhook you have to create a config.json file in the root directory of the project. Now paste your Webhook URL into the config file.

{
  "url": "Webhook-Url",
  "ignoreDays": 30
}

Run it!

Now we can start the webhook by typing the following into the terminal:

npm install
npm run start

For future use you could set up a script to run the webhook periodically (e.g. with cron).
