Node.js Bot Setup

How to set up a Discord bot using Node.js

In this guide, we'll explain how to set up a Discord bot using Node.js and discord.js, then host it on BotHosting Pro.

Requirements

• A Discord bot created from the Discord Developer Portal
• The bot's Token
• An account on BotHosting Pro

Create a Node.js Project

File 1: package.json

Create a package.json file in the root:

{
  "name": "my-discord-bot",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "My Discord Bot",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node index.js"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "discord.js": "^14.16.3"
  }
}

File 2: index.js

Create the main file index.js:

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');

const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
    GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent
  ]
});

client.once('ready', () => {
  console.log(`✅ Logged in as ${client.user.tag}`);
});

client.on('messageCreate', (message) => {
  if (message.content === '!ping') {
    message.reply('Pong! 🏓');
  }
});

client.login(process.env.TOKEN);

Steps on BotHosting Pro

1. Upload both package.json and index.js via the file manager
2. Set index.js as the main file
3. Add the environment variable TOKEN with your bot token (see Environment Variables)
4. Click "Start"

Python Bot Setup

How to set up a Discord bot using Python

In this guide, we'll explain how to set up a Discord bot using Python and discord.py, then host it on BotHosting Pro.

Requirements

• A Discord bot created from the Discord Developer Portal
• The bot's Token
• An account on BotHosting Pro

Create a Python Project

File 1: requirements.txt

Create a requirements.txt file to list required packages:

discord.py>=2.3.0

File 2: main.py

Create the main file main.py:

import os
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.message_content = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='!', intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'✅ Logged in as {bot.user}')

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Pong! 🏓')

bot.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))

Steps on BotHosting Pro

1. Upload both requirements.txt and main.py via the file manager
2. Set main.py as the main file
3. Add the environment variable TOKEN with your bot token
4. Make sure the start command is python main.py
5. Click "Start"

Environment Variables

Managing environment variables for your bot

Environment Variables are a secure way to store sensitive values like tokens and API keys instead of hardcoding them in your source code.

Why use Environment Variables?

• Security: Prevents leaking tokens and secret keys
• Flexibility: Change values without modifying code
• Organization: Separates configuration from code

How to Add Environment Variables

1. Go to the "Settings" tab in the dashboard
2. Find the "Environment Variables" section
3. Click "Add Variable"
4. Enter the Key — e.g., TOKEN
5. Enter the Value — e.g., MTIzNDU2Nzg5...
6. Click "Save"

Accessing Variables in Code

In Node.js

// Using process.env
const token = process.env.TOKEN;
client.login(token);

// Or using dotenv
require('dotenv').config();
client.login(process.env.TOKEN);

In Python

import os

# Using os.getenv
token = os.getenv('TOKEN')
bot.run(token)

# Or using python-dotenv
from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()
bot.run(os.getenv('TOKEN'))

Common Examples

Console & Logs

Monitor and control your bot via the live console

BotHosting Pro provides a live console interface that connects you to bot operations in real-time via WebSocket.

The Live Console

From the "Console" tab in the dashboard, you can:

• View Logs — Monitor bot output instantly with color-coded types
• Send Commands — Input commands directly to the bot via the input field
• Clear Logs — Clear the console content

Log Types

WebSocket Connection

The console connects to the server via WebSocket for instant updates. When you open the Console tab:

1. A WebSocket connection is established automatically
2. A green indicator shows successful connection
3. New logs appear instantly as they arrive
4. You can type commands in the input field and send them

Tips

• If an error occurs, check the red logs to identify the cause
• Make sure a valid main file is set before starting
• Make sure all required environment variables are added
• If the bot stops, it will be restarted automatically
