Discord API problem?

[Ishiroo]

I ran the program by going into the directory where I put the folder, and I got the message telling me logging in with discord token, but then:

D:>cd D:\discord-mutual-friends-and-servers-main

IndexError: list index out of range

D:\discord-mutual-friends-and-servers-main>

Any idea to why this happens? I have put in the token in the .env file, like so TOKEN="DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD".

Thank you for the response! I changed and downloaded the requirements.txt, but I am not sure what to do with the screenshot.

I am getting this message: "C:\Users\ishir\OneDrive\Desktop\discord-mutual-friends-and-servers-main>python main.py [2024-04-17 23:33:07] [INFO ] discord.client: Logging in using static token.

It could be that I did something wrong, I haven't changed the main.py code.

This is how my folder looks.

Hey again @Ishiroo I appreciate you following up. The error you're receiving is because the dependency discord.py-self is trying to find a Discord channel from which to scrape members but is not succeeding.

Context:

Currently we use 2 methods to get server members and combine their results to try and maximize the number of server members found:

https://github.com/ChinemeremChigbo/discord-mutual-friends-and-servers/blob/a217e0fe992d1b7b3c8e327893f935d09af05e35/main.py#L223-L229

The first method tries to scrape members directly from the Discord member sidebar. The members in the sidebar change depending on which channel you're in, so the discord.py-self tries (but does not succeed) in finding a channel to scrape the server members from.

Solution:

To deal with this I have added code to detect if the first method has failed and rely on the members found by the second method: https://github.com/ChinemeremChigbo/discord-mutual-friends-and-servers/commit/4b4b228a9a021400b2f568a8a800f07cc887d20c

Please pull the latest version of this repo and let me know if that fixes the issue you're having.

Originally, your error included the following line:discord.errors.ClientException: Failed to automatically choose channels; please specify them manually. We now added the ability to specify channels manually in this commit: https://github.com/ChinemeremChigbo/discord-mutual-friends-and-servers/commit/87e1b748c0dbe4620365e9243ba9eb8ef0d3c02d . You can specify channels using the -cflag like python3 main.py --include_channels 'general' 'help'. Please let me know if that fixes your issues!
