  [!NOTE] You can buy rotating proxies here: WebShare (I get a small cut from that link so please use it if you want to support my work). I would advice you to get the "Verified Proxy" Plan and to take 100 proxy server with 1000 GB/month Bandwidth which is 7.07$/month, but i would highly suggest you take the 250 proxy server and 5000GB plan ($25.73 per month) if you want to have a good speed and avoid skipping items the most you can.

• Go to the Discord Developer Portal.
• Click on "New Application" and give your bot a name.
• Go to the "Bot" tab and click on "Add Bot".
• Copy the "Client ID" and "Token" and paste them into the .env file.
• Give intent permissions to the bot by going to the "Bot" tab and enabling the "Presence Intent", "Server Members Intent" and "Content Message Intent".
• Invite the bot with admin permissions to your server by going to the "OAuth2" tab and selecting the "bot" and "application.commands" scope and the "Administrator" permission.
