What it is and what it does
discord-webhook is a Python wrapper around Discord's webhook API that lets you send messages to Discord channels without creating a bot. It handles the HTTP requests to Discord via the requests library and provides a simple object-oriented interface for constructing and sending webhook payloads.
The package supports basic text messages, rich embeds with custom fields and formatting, file attachments, thread targeting, and automatic rate-limit retry logic. It also includes async variants of its main methods for non-blocking use in async applications. You provide a webhook URL (obtained from Discord server settings), instantiate a DiscordWebhook object with your message content, and call execute() to send it; the package manages serialization, HTTP transport, and response handling.
Use it for
- Send automated alerts or notifications from a monitoring system to a Discord channel without running a persistent bot.
- Post build or deployment status updates from CI/CD pipelines directly to Discord.
- Create rich formatted messages with embeds, images, and structured fields for logging or reporting.
- Distribute files (images, logs, reports) to Discord channels programmatically.
- Send messages to specific Discord threads or create new threads in forum channels via webhook.
