It handles the low-level details of Discord's HTTP and WebSocket protocols, including proper rate limiting and memory optimization, so you can focus on writing bot logic. The library depends on aiohttp for async HTTP requests, audioop-lts for audio handling, and typing_extensions for type hints.\n\nThe package is designed for developers building interactive Discord applications\u2014from simple command bots to complex multi-feature applications. It supports slash commands, event listeners, and other modern Discord features through a Pythonic API. Optional dependencies enable voice support (requiring system libraries on Linux) and performance speedups via packages like orjson and aiodns.","worth_installing":"Yes. Nextcord is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with low friction, and is licensed permissively under MIT. It's a solid choice if you're building Discord bots in Python and need modern async support. The Python 3.12+ requirement is reasonable for a library released in 2021 and actively updated; voice support requires extra system dependencies on Linux but is optional."},"id":"nextcord","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/nextcord","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/nextcord.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/nextcord/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-05-21","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"nextcord","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A Python wrapper for the Discord API forked from discord.py"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":93196,"position":13398,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"3.2.0"}
