Unregulated is a Discord "self" bot, which provides a reliable method of storing messages in a JSON format.

For example: If an user is joined in a server and one of the channels receive a message it will be logged in a server specific folder as a JSON file named after the channel it was received in.

Discord is banning all self-bot users

A post on a forum has a discussion about why self-bots are getting banned, use this code at your own risk !

Configuration

Before you can run the bot you need a token which can be obtained via your web-browsers local storage tab, give it a quick refresh and for a moment the token will show up after getting deleted again.

Open the config.py file and edit YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with your obtained token, then provide the server names in a such fashion:

configuration = {
    "token": "YOUR_TOKEN_HERE",
    "servers": [
        "MyServerName",
        "JoesServerName"
    ]
}

Keep in mind that all of the special characters are replaced by an empty space, for example in case of Jonathan-Mommas-Server you have to enter JonathanMommasServer and in case of Something+Weird you'll have to enter SomethingWeird and so on.

Running

You can run this script by:

python src/app.py

Data collection

The data which will consist of user details and the message will be stored in a server specific folder as a JSON file named after the channel it was received in.
