## Setting up your Credentials If you do not see `credentials.json` you will need to rename `credentials_example.json` to `credentials.json`. **This is how the `credentials.json` looks with all the APIs:** ```json { "ClientId": 179372110000358912, "BotId": 179372110000358912, "Token": "MTc5MzcyXXX2MDI1ODY3MjY0.ChKs4g.I8J_R9XX0t-QY-0PzXXXiN0-7vo", "OwnerIds": [ 105635123466156544, 105635123566156544, 105635123666156544 ], "LoLApiKey": "6e99ecf36f0000095b0a3ccfe35df45f", "GoogleApiKey": "AIzaSyDSci1sdlWQOWNVj1vlXxxxxxbk0oWMEzM", "MashapeKey": "4UrKpcWXc2mshS8RKi00000y8Kf5p1Q8kI6jsn32bmd8oVWiY7", "OsuApiKey": "4c8c8fdff8e1234581725db27fd140a7d93320d6", "Db": null, "TotalShards": 1, "ShardRunCommand": "" } ``` ----- #### Creating Discord Bot application ![img2](http://i.imgur.com/x3jWudH.gif) - Go to [the Discord developer application page][DiscordApp]. - Log in with your Discord account. - On the left side, press `New Application`. - Fill out the `App Name` (Your bot's name, in this case) - Put the image if you want, and add an app description. **(Optional)** - Create the application. - Click on `Create a Bot User` and confirm that you do want to add a bot to this app. - **Keep this window open for now.** #### Inviting your bot to your server ![img4](http://i.imgur.com/aFK7InR.gif) - [Invite Guide][Invite Guide] - Copy your `Client ID` from your [applications page][DiscordApp]. - Replace the **`12345678`** in this link: `https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=`**`12345678`**`&scope=bot&permissions=66186303` with your `Client ID`. - The link should now look like this: `https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=`**`YOUR_CLENT_ID_HERE`**`&scope=bot&permissions=66186303` - Go to the newly created link and pick the server we created, and click `Authorize`. - The bot should have been added to your server. #### Setting up credentials.json file ![img3](http://i.imgur.com/QwKMnTG.gif) - In your [Discord applications page][DiscordApp], under the `Bot User` section, you will see `Token:click to reveal`, click to reveal the token. *Note: Make sure that you actually use a Token and not a Client Secret!* It is in the **App Bot User** section. - Copy your bot's token, and on the **`"Token"`** line of your `credentials.json`, paste your bot token **between** the quotation marks. ``` It should look like: ``` ```json "Token": "MTc5MzcyXXX2MDI1ODY3MjY0.ChKs4g.I8J_R9XX0t-QY-0PzXXXiN0-7vo", ``` - Copy the `Client ID` on the page and replace the `12312123` part of the **`"ClientId"`** line with it. - **Important: Bot ID and Client ID** will be the same in **newer bot accounts** due to recent changes by Discord. - If that's the case, **copy the same client ID** to **`"BotId"`** ``` It should look like: ``` ```json "ClientId": 179372110000358912, "BotId": 179372110000358912, ``` - Go to your Discord server and attempt to mention yourself, but put a backslash at the start like shown below: *(to make it slightly easier, add the backslash after you type the mention out)* - So the message `\@fearnlj01#3535` will appear as `<@145521851676884992>` after you send the message. - The message will appear as a mention if done correctly, copy the numbers from the message **`145521851676884992`** and replace the ID (By default, the ID is `105635576866156544`) on the `OwnerIds` section with your user ID shown earlier. - Save `credentials.json` - If done correctly, you are now the bot owner. You can add multiple owners by seperating each owner ID with a comma within the square brackets. ``` For single owner it should look like: ``` ```json "OwnerIds": [ 105635576866156544 ], ``` ``` For multiple owners it should look like: ``` ```json "OwnerIds": [ 105635123466156544, 105635123566156544, 105635123666156544 ], ``` ----- ## Setting up your API keys This part is completely optional, **However it is necessary for music and few other features to work properly** - **GoogleAPIKey** - Required for Youtube Song Search, Playlist queuing, URL Shortener and lot more. - Follow these steps on how to setup Google API keys: - Go to [Google Console][Google Console] and log in. - Create a new project (name does not matter). - Once the project is created, go into **`Library`** - Under the **`Other Popular APIs`** section, enable `URL Shortener API` and `Custom Search API` - Under the **`YouTube APIs`** section, enable `YouTube Data API` - Under the **`Google Maps APIs`** section, enable `Google Maps Geocoding API` and `Google Maps Time Zone API` - On the left tab, access **`Credentials`**, - Click `Create Credentials` button, - Click on `API Key` - A new window will appear with your `Google API key` *NOTE: You don't really need to click on `RESTRICT KEY`, just click on `CLOSE` when you are done.* - Copy the key. - Open up **`credentials.json`** and look for **`"GoogleAPIKey"`**, paste your API key inbetween the quotation marks. ``` It should look like: ``` ```json "GoogleApiKey": "AIzaSyDSci1sdlWQOWNVj1vlXxxxxxbk0oWMEzM", ``` - **MashapeKey** - Required for Urban Disctionary, Hashtag search, and Hearthstone cards. - You need to create an account on their [api marketplace](https://market.mashape.com/), after that go to `market.mashape.com/YOURNAMEHERE/applications/default-application` and press **Get the keys** in the top right corner. - Copy the key and paste it into `credentials.json` - **LOLAPIKey** - Required for all League of Legends commands. - You can get this key [here](http://api.champion.gg/) - **OsuAPIKey** - Required for Osu commands - You can get this key [here.](https://osu.ppy.sh/p/api) *You will need to log in and like the soundcloud it may take a few tries.* - **TotalShards** - Required if the bot will be connected to more than 1500 servers. - Most likely unnecessary to change until your bot is added to more than 1500 servers. - **ShardRunCommand** - Command with which to run shards 1+ - Required if you're sharding your bot on windows using .exe, or in a custom way. - This internally defaults to `dotnet` - For example, if you want to shard your NadekoBot which you installed using windows installer, you would want to set it to something like this: `C:\Program Files\NadekoBot\system\NadekoBot.exe` - **ShardRunArguments** - Arguments to the shard run command - Required if you're sharding your bot on windows using .exe, or in a custom way. - This internally defaults to `run -c Release -- {0} {1} {2}` which will be enough to run linux and other 'from source' setups - {0} will be replaced by the `shard ID` of the shard being ran, {1} by the shard 0's process id, and {2} by the port shard communication is happening on - If shard0 (main window) is closed, all other shards will close too - For example, if you want to shard your NadekoBot which you installed using windows installer, you would want to set it to `{0} {1} {2}` - **ShardRunPort** - Bot uses a random UDP port in [5000, 6000) range for communication between shards ----- ## DB files Nadeko saves all the settings and infomations in `NadekoBot.db` file here: **On linux** `NadekoBot\src\NadekoBot\bin\Release\netcoreapp1.1\data\NadekoBot.db` (NadekoBot v1.4x) **On windows** `[INSTALL_PATH]\NadekoBot\system\data\NadekoBot.db` In order to open the database file you will need [DB Browser for SQLite](http://sqlitebrowser.org/). To make changes - Copy the `NadekoBot.db` to someplace safe. (Back up) - Open `NadekoBot.db` - go to **Browse Data** tab - click on **Table** drop-down list - choose the table you want to edit - click on the cell you want to edit - edit it on the right-hand side - click on **Apply** - click on **Write Changes** and that will save all the changes. ![nadekodb](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/251504306010849280/254067055240806400/nadekodb.gif) [Google Console]: https://console.developers.google.com [DiscordApp]: https://discordapp.com/developers/applications/me [Invite Guide]: http://discord.kongslien.net/guide.html
