Unable to interact with managed group DMs created by Bot

[phumberdroz]

Hey,

I wanted to create private Group DMs via the API. When I tried this the Channels never show up in the client of the User thus the User is unable to interact with them.

This is the request used to create the channel/Group DM

curl -X POST \
  https://discordapp.com/api/users/@me/channels \
  -H 'Authorization: Bot ****************************' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "access_tokens": ["****************************","****************************"],
    "nicks": {
        "*********": "user2",
        "*********": "user1"
    },
}'

Have you hit the 10-per-bot limit on group DM channels? https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/user#create-group-dm

[phumberdroz]

Not that I am aware of. Is there any endpoint I could validate that against? Since not even the first attempt worked.

GET /users/@me/channels does not work because the Owner is a bot.

But I am pretty certain that I did not reach that limit.

Group DMs are intentionally not shown in the client because they're intented to use with the Game SDK and thus meant to be used within games and not the Discord client.

Well this should at least be documented then or ?

[msciotti]

Yeah, we should update the documentation and explain that and that this endpoint is """deprecated""". Not in the sense that we tend to remove it, from what I understand at least, but the previous GameSDK for which it was used has been deprecated/discontinued. I can update that.
