How to make slash commands work globally (in other servers and in dms where bot is not presentt

What do I do in my code to make it work? I have tried everything but the slash command does not work no matter what I do. I am using instaloader that is using a python script (isnt in the JS code, the js code only handles command).

that problem has to do with how you deploy your commands not how you handle them so the issue is within your python script ask in the support for that library or whatever you're using this isn't djs related

How tho? because the script doesnt have anythin to do with the discord.js?

import sys
import instaloader

# Get Instagram URL passed from the Node.js script
url = sys.argv[1]

# Initialize Instaloader
L = instaloader.Instaloader()

# Extract post from URL
try:
    # Load the post using the URL
    post = instaloader.Post.from_shortcode(L.context, url.split("/")[-2])

    # Check if the post is a video
    if post.is_video:
        print(post.video_url)  # This will print the video URL
    else:
        print("No video found for this post.")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

import sys
import instaloader

# Get Instagram URL passed from the Node.js script
url = sys.argv[1]

# Initialize Instaloader
L = instaloader.Instaloader()

# Extract post from URL
try:
    # Load the post using the URL
    post = instaloader.Post.from_shortcode(L.context, url.split("/")[-2])

    # Check if the post is a video
    if post.is_video:
        print(post.video_url)  # This will print the video URL
    else:
        print("No video found for this post.")
except Exception as e:
    print(f"Error: {e}")

all it does is grabs the url which is given by the bot.js script please check only takes the url

฀OP•2mo ago

Yeah thats for the python script, i was jus tellin what the program does what im askin help for is how to make slash commands work globally

Amgelo•2mo ago

I have no idea what that is, I assumed that was for loading your commands

฀OP•2mo ago

in dms, other servers

Retro•2mo ago

how are you loading your commands?

Amgelo•2mo ago

how are you deploying your commands then

฀OP•2mo ago

try { // Register the slash command globally await client.application.commands.create( new SlashCommandBuilder() .setName('video') .setDescription('Get the video from an Instagram or TikTok post') .addStringOption(option => option.setName('url') .setDescription('The URL of the Instagram or TikTok post') .setRequired(true) ) );

yes i have those settings set on the bot on the discord developer portal

Retro•2mo ago

its not enough to set them on discord developer protal. you need to set them when deploying ur commands

𝑨𝒃𝒔𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒂𝒈𝒆•2mo ago

have u done the other things like the interaction endpoint?

Amgelo•2mo ago

the api endpoint is called by djs in his code

฀OP•2mo ago

Amgelo•2mo ago

the problem is with his data as Retro said

฀OP•2mo ago

.setContexts([0, 1]) // 0 = Guild, 1 = BotDM // Allow the slash command to work in both guilds and DMs .setIntegrationTypes([0,1]) // Enable integration as a slash command globally is this how you do it? @Retro

Retro•2mo ago

Check the url of the docs But yes that is how you do it but use enums that discord.js exports instead of magic numbers Also the maximum for context is array of size 3. Guild, dm and guild your bot has not been invited to
