discord.py-self
A Python wrapper for the Discord user API
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No. While the library is technically mature and well-maintained, the description explicitly warns that automating user accounts violates Discord's Terms of Service and the authors cannot recommend its use. Installing and running this code exposes you to account suspension or permanent ban. Use only if you fully understand and accept the ToS violation and the risk of account loss.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Python 3.10 or higher required.
- Automating user accounts violates Discord's Terms of Service.
- Low install friction with a pure-wheel distribution.

What it is and what it does
discord.py-self is an async Python wrapper for Discord's user account API—the undocumented interface that powers the Discord client itself rather than bot accounts. It extends the original discord.py library with methods to automate user account actions: reading message history, managing relationships, handling billing and subscriptions, responding to interactions, and controlling sessions. The library is intentionally designed to avoid detection by Discord's systems.
The package depends on aiohttp for HTTP requests, curl_cffi for advanced HTTP handling, tzlocal for timezone support, discord_protos for protobuf message definitions, and audioop-lts for audio operations. It targets modern Python (3.10–3.14) and maintains active development. However, the description itself carries an explicit warning: automating user accounts violates Discord's Terms of Service, and the authors cannot recommend its use.
Use it for
- Build a self-bot that responds to commands in your own Discord messages for personal automation.
- Programmatically manage user account settings, relationships, and billing information.
- Automate message reading and interaction handling for personal Discord workflows.
- Interact with Discord's slash commands and button interactions from a user account.
- Manage multiple user account sessions and read states programmatically.
