Creating a bot in Discord and getting a token Let's get through these admin steps first and then we can get to the fun part of coding our bot. Creating an application and a bot user in your Discord account.There are instructions for how to do this in the next section. For this tutorial you will need to create a Discord account (if you already have one, you can skip this). We'll be doing all of our coding through the Replit web IDE and hosting our bot with Replit as well, so you won't need to install any additional software on your machine. We won't be covering the very basics of Python, but we will explain each line of code in detail, so if you have any experience with programming, you should be able to follow along. You'll find it easier to follow along if you have some Python knowledge and have used Discord or a similar app such as Skype or Telegram before. If you prefer JavaScript, you can find a translation of this tutorial using Node.js instead of Python. The bot we create in this tutorial will be able to join a Discord server and respond to messages sent by people. If not, Discord is a VoIP and chat application that is designed to replace Skype for gamers. If you're reading this tutorial, you probably have at least heard of Discord and likely have an existing account. In this tutorial, we'll use Replit and Python to build a Discord chatbot.
