Discord Message Replicator

A Discord self-bot that forwards messages from monitored channels to webhooks.

WARNING: Running self-bots is against Discord TOS. Use this script at your own risk.

Features

• Message Forwarding: Replicates messages to webhooks with original author name and avatar. Supports attachments, threads, gifs, etc.
• Load Balancing Webhooks: Rotates through multiple webhooks to bypass webhook rate-limit for high traffic channels
• Channel Routing: Supports routing different channel messages to different webhooks

Configuration

Edit the configuration section in replicator.py:

# Your Discord user token
TOKEN = 'your-token-here'

# Map source channel IDs to route tags
SOURCE_CHANNELS = {
    1234567890123456789: 'general',
    9876543210987654321: 'alerts',
}

# Map route tags to webhook URLs
# Use multiple webhooks for high-traffic channels (30 msg/min limit per webhook)
WEBHOOK_ROUTES = {
    'general': [
        'https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...',
        'https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...',  # optional backup
    ],
    'alerts': [
        'https://discord.com/api/webhooks/...',
    ]
}

Installation

# Remove conflicting packages first
pip uninstall discord discord.py -y

# Install discord.py-self (includes aiohttp)
pip install discord.py-self

Usage

python replicator.py

Troubleshooting

TypeError or AttributeError on startup

You likely have the regular discord.py installed alongside discord.py-self. They conflict because both use the discord module name.

Fix:

pip uninstall discord discord.py -y
pip install discord.py-self

401 Unauthorized or Improper token

Your user token is invalid or expired. Get a fresh token from Discord.

Messages not forwarding

• Verify the channel ID is correct (enable Developer Mode in Discord settings)
• Check that the webhook URL is valid
• Ensure the account has access to the source channel

Notes

• This is a self-bot that uses your personal Discord token
• Webhook rotation helps avoid the 30 messages/minute rate limit
• Thread messages from monitored channels are automatically forwarded
• The bot tracks recent message IDs (up to 10,000) to properly handle thread starters
