Discord-RPC

An Python wrapper for Discord RPC

#Projects #Python #Discord-Rpc

Discord RPC #

An Python wrapper for Discord RPC API. Allow you to make own custom RPC.

Install #

  • PyPI
pip install discord-rpc

Quick example # 

import discordrpc

rpc = discordrpc.RPC(app_id=12345678910)

rpc.set_activity(
      state="A super simple rpc",
      details="simple RPC"
    )

# Required if you only run Discord RPC on this file or current instance.
rpc.run()

rpc.run() is only used if you are only running Discord RPC on the current file/instance. If there are other programs/tasks on the current instance, rpc.run() does not need to be used.

See documentation here.
More examples here.

Change Logs #

5.1 #

Updates :

rpc.set_activity(act_type=0)
  • Added more detailed information in the output.

5.0 #

Critical updates & changes :

  • Inputting id is no longer in RPC.set_id. Replaced with inputing inside RPC class.

Before:

rpc = discordrpc.RPC.set_id(app_id=1234567890)

After:

rpc = discordrpc.RPC(app_id=1234567890)

Updates :

  • Removing many functions. List:

    • RPC.set_id
    • RPC._connect
    • RPC._write
    • RPC._recv
    • RPC._recv_exact
    • And many more…

  • Package logging is used again as output.

  • Removing timestamp argument and added ts_start and ts_end on set_activity() as a replacement for the timestamp argument.

  • Added debug parameter on RPC class if you want to print more outputs.

  • timestamp variable is moved to discordrpc.utils. So if you want to import timestamp variable, use

    from discordrpc.utils import timestamp

  • button on discordrpc.button changed to Button.

  • added date_to_timestamp function on discordrpc.utils. with format %d/%m/%Y-%H:%M:%S or day/month/year-hour:minute:second Example :

    date_to_timestamp('14/06/2025-00:00:00')

4.0 #

Critical update :

  • Changing DiscordRPC folder (when you import the package) to discordrpc. Before :
import DiscordRPC

After :

import discordrpc

Updates :

  • No longer using logging package.
  • GCAR or get_current_application_running removed because it can’t be cross-platform (I spent days just looking for this solution lmao).
  • setLoggerEnabled() function removed.
  • Set_ID changed to set_id.
  • output() function changed to show_output variable, Example.
  • Shorten the code in presence.py (not that much though).

3.0 #

New & Updates :

  • Added GCAR method. GCAR : Get Current Application Running. Basically, you can switch your rpc status (state/details) automatically to the application you’re running

2.0 #

New & Updates :

  • Added button (Example here)
  • RPC output (Example here)
  • RPC still running even though “large_text” and “small_text” are not set
  • The message when RPC is running successfully is now working fine, and an error will appear if the RPC is not set properly
