Discord Bot Python 每小时发一条消息

Question

I have a problem with discord's bot. I have done a script which calculate the weather every hour and I want to send the result to discord with bot:

import Secret
import discord
result = "temp is ...."

TOKEN = Secret.BOT_TOKEN
client = discord.Client()

client.send(result)

client.run(TOKEN)

I have searched on google but I have not found an answer to send the result automatically.

Can you help me?

Answer 1

If you're using python just put it in a while loop and have it send the message and sleep for an hour.

for sleep you can import time

Something like:

while true:
    client.send(result)
    sleep(3600)

Important: Your bot will be 100% inactive while you sleep it, so if you use it for more than just weather this might not be the solution you're looking for.

Answer 2

Using the time module prevents your bot from doing anything else during the time that it is sleeping.

Use tasks. Just put what you want executed in the task() function:

from discord.ext import tasks 

@tasks.loop(seconds=60) # repeat once every 60 seconds
async def task():
  pass

mytask.start()
