DiscordM (FiveM Server Bot)

A simple bot for polling your FiveM server endpoint and displaying the current amount of players online.

Installation

1. Install the required modules (discord etc..) with: pip3 install -r requirements.txt
2. Execute export DISCORDM=<token> to set an environment variable with your bot token

Usage

1. Head to https://discord.com/developers/ and create a bot
2. Obtain your Token
3. Invite the bot to your server.
4. Run the script with python3 discord-bot.py -S <IP/Domain>
5. Your bot should now be online and display a player count.

How it works

1. Sends a request to the players.json endpoint which is found on pretty much every FiveM Server
2. Parses the JSON array which is returned in the request
3. Iterates though all of the name keys
4. Returns the total count of players which are currently online
5. Updates the bots status with how many players are online

Screenshot

I couldn't really find a simple script that could do as i wanted without too much hassle. A lot of the scripts i found online were written using NodeJS and required some setup so decided to write my own. It's a bit 'hacky' but it does the job!
