Why isnt a public endpoint needed on discord.js ?
When developing using discord api (without discord.js library) by itself, per their guides, a public url is needed so the requests can be sent. This is done by either using glitch or ngrok to expose your localhost via tunneling.
My question is:
Why when using discord.js a public endpoint isnt needed and you can run the bot locally without the need to expose your localhost ? How does their API connect to your localhost ?
I have asked this on discord developers but im probably too dumb to understand the answers I got.
