# dhooks-lite — A wrapper for sending messages to Discord webhooks.

License: unclear · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 256.8K/mo

## What it is and what it does

dhooks-lite is a Python wrapper for Discord webhooks that handles the mechanics of posting messages and rich embeds to Discord channels. It aims to stay close to Discord's official webhook API while adding conveniences like automatic request retries, sensible timeouts, and logging. The library is synchronous only and depends on requests for HTTP communication.

You use it by creating a Webhook object with your Discord webhook URL, then calling execute() to send messages. It supports custom usernames and avatars, embeds with fields and images, and can retrieve HTTP status codes and headers for rate-limit handling. The package is fully tested and documented, with support for Python 3.8 through 3.14.

Use it for:

- Send alerts or notifications from a Python application to a Discord channel without managing raw HTTP requests.
- Post formatted reports or logs with embeds (title, description, fields, images, footer) to Discord for team visibility.
- Implement a Discord bot or integration that posts messages on events or schedules without async complexity.
- Retrieve HTTP response details (status, headers) from Discord to implement custom rate-limit handling.
- Automate status updates or build notifications to a Discord channel from CI/CD pipelines or monitoring systems.
