How to create a specific amount of invite links that can only be used once for a Discord server in Python

Question

I am new to working with Discord servers and I would like to make a private Discord server where only users that I invite can join. I read about a few ways that this can be achieved, but none of them are really what I have in mind. I was thinking about creating a Discord application that generated a specific amount of invite links to my server which can only be used once.

This means that if I want to invite 50 people to my Discord server, I would create 50 invite links that can only be used once so that I make sure that only the people I invite will join. I would like to put all of these links in an external text file so that I will later be able to work with them and eventually send them to people by email. In other words, I don’t need to create a bot, but rather just use Python and the discord.py module to achieve all this outside of Discord.

I saw this on the discord.py documentation which looks something like what I need, but I don’t really understand how that would work.

I can almost only find tutorials on how to create bots, on the Discord server itself, but that is not what I need. Would anyone be able to help me out?

Thank you very much in advance!

Answer 1

import discord

token = 'bot_token_goes_here'
client = discord.Client()
number_of_links = input('How many links do you want to create? ') 

@client.event 
async def on_ready():
    g = client.guilds[guild_number goes here] # Choose the guild/server you want to use 
    c = g.get_channel(channel_id_goes_here) # Get channel ID
    invites = await discord.abc.GuildChannel.invites(c) # list of all the invites in the server

    while len(invites) < int(number_of_links):
        print('CREATING INVITES')
        for i in range(int(number_of_links)): # Create as many links as needed
            i = await discord.abc.GuildChannel.create_invite(c, max_uses=1, max_age=0, unique=True) # Create the invite link
        break

    print('Finished. Exiting soon...')
    exit()

client.run(token)

Answer 2

I made some quick modifications to FedeCuci’s script, with the following differences:

Script asks for the total number of new invites you want, rather than depending on previously created invites
Script outputs the new invites to console
Does not throw an exception
Compatible with new intents API
Some additional debugging output

For either script, you will need to install discord.py, then run the script with python3. Don’t forget to update the token & ID’s as needed, and setup/join the bot to your target server via Discord’s developer portal. It will need permissions for Create Instant Invite and Read Messages/View Channels

from discord.utils import get
import discord

token = 'bot-token-goes-here' # <-- fill this in
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.invites = True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)
guild_id = guild-id-goes-here # <-- fill this in
number_of_links = input('How many links do you want to create? ')

@client.event
async def on_ready():
    print('Bot is up and running.')
    print(f'Logged in as {client.user}')

    g = client.get_guild(int(guild_id))
    print(f'Guild: {g.name}')
    c = g.get_channel(channel-id-goes-here) # <-- fill this in
    print(f'Channel: #{c}')
    invites = []

    print('CREATING INVITES')

    for i in range(int(number_of_links)):
        invite = await g.text_channels[0].create_invite(max_uses=1, max_age=0, unique=True)
        print(f'{invite}')

    print('Finished. Exiting soon...')
    await client.close()

client.run(token)
