Migration Guilde

You can use this guide to make it easier to switch to new version (3x) of boticordpy.

Upgrading boticordpy

Run this command in terminal:

pip install boticordpy --upgrade

BoticordClient

With a new BotiCord token system you don't need to specify type of token:

Was:

boticord_client = BoticordClient(
	"Bot your_api_token", version=2
)

Became:

boticord_client = BoticordClient(
	"your_api_token", version=3
)

You can get a new token in your account settings (not a bot's!)

Autoposting

Since the token is no longer connected to the bot you need to specify the ID when starting the autoposting:

Was:

autopost = (
    boticord_client.autopost()
    .init_stats(get_stats)
    .on_success(on_success_posting)
    .start()
)

Became:

autopost = (
    boticord_client.autopost()
    .init_stats(get_stats)
    .on_success(on_success_posting)
    .start("id_of_your_bot")  # <--- ID of your bot
)

Webhook or websocket... that is the question

Webhooks are no longer supported in boticordpy. You can find guide how to use boticord websocket here.

Extra changes

There are some additional changes to the data models and new search methods added. So, I recommend you to read the docs
