The code is probably a bit messy, but it works so :)

• git

How to use

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/zenithpaws/discord-cdnlink-scraper-python.git

2. Install dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create a Discord bot here: https://discord.com/developers/applications

   1. Enable the option shown in the image below
   2. Copy the token and invite the bot to your server using this link (Replace CLIENT_ID with your bot's client ID): https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=CLIENT_ID&permissions=274878008320&scope=bot

4. Duplicate config.json.example rename it to config.json and fill in the values

5. Run the bot
