About

Send a basic message:
import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { Routes } from 'discord-api-types/v10';
const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(TOKEN);
try {
await rest.post(Routes.channelMessages(CHANNEL_ID), {
body: {
content: 'A message via REST!',
},
});
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
Create a thread from an existing message to be archived after 60 minutes of inactivity:
import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { Routes } from 'discord-api-types/v10';
const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(TOKEN);
try {
await rest.post(Routes.threads(CHANNEL_ID, MESSAGE_ID), {
body: {
name: 'Thread',
auto_archive_duration: 60,
},
});
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
}
Send a basic message in an edge environment:
import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { Routes } from 'discord-api-types/v10';
const rest = new REST({ version: '10', makeRequest: fetch }).setToken(TOKEN);
try {
await rest.post(Routes.channelMessages(CHANNEL_ID), {
body: {
content: 'A message via REST from the edge!',
},
});
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
