Check File Extensions with Discord.py: A Guide for Bot Developers

If you're creating a Discord bot with discord.py, you might want to make it interactive and responsive only under certain conditions. A common requirement is to limit bot responses to messages that include specific file types. For instance, you may want your bot to react only when users send images with the extensions .png, .jpg, or .jpeg. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to implement a check for these file extensions in your bot's code.

Understanding the Problem

You're working on a Python Discord bot and have set it up to respond to messages sent in a specific channel. You want the bot to respond or take action only when the message includes an attachment of an image file type. This ensures your bot remains focused and avoids irrelevant responses to text-only messages.

Solution: Checking File Extensions in Your Discord Bot

To achieve this, you will need to implement a simple check within the on_message event handler of your bot. Here's how you can do that step-by-step:

Step 1: Identify the Attachments

When a message is sent in Discord, it may contain attachments. Your bot needs to check whether these attachments exist and what their file extensions are.

Step 2: Add the File Extension Check

You can utilize the url of the first attachment in the message to check for the desired file extensions. Here's a modified version of your code that includes this check:

Key Points of the Code

The condition if message.attachments: checks if there are any attachments in the received message.

The url.endswith(('png', 'jpg', 'jpeg')) statement checks whether the file extension of the first attachment is one of the specified types.

You can change the responses inside the if block to whatever fits your bot's functions.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively ensure your Discord bot only reacts to messages that contain images of specific formats. This not only makes your bot more interactive but also enhances its functionality by keeping it relevant to user submissions. Now, you can take your Discord bot to the next level with this simple file-checking mechanism!
