This a basic Discord music bot created using Node.js and the Discord.js library.

Setup

---

Install Node.js and npm

If Node.js and npm are already installed, skip this step. If not, follow these instructions.

Create Discord bot

1. Create a Discord application in the Discord Developer Portal
2. In the Bot tab, click the Add Bot button
3. Copy the bot token and paste it as the TOKEN enviroment variable
4. Copy the client ID in the OAuth2 tab and paste it as the CLIENT_ID environment variable
5. Go to the Google Cloud API Credentials Page and click Create Credentials and then API Key. If you want, you can restrict the key to only call YouTube Data API v3. Paste this key as the YT_DATA_KEY environment variable. This key is what the bot uses to search for videos on YouTube
6. Optionally, to enable the anime opening autoplayer, create a client ID for the MyAnimeList API v2. Ensure the App Type field is set to web. None of the other fields have specifically required values. Paste the client ID as the MAL_API_ID environment variable. This is what the anime opening autoplayer uses to search for the most popular anime series
7. Add the bot to servers using https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=CLIENT_ID&permissions=3147776&scope=applications.commands%20bot, replacing CLIENT_ID with the bot's client ID

Start the bot

1. Install all packages by running npm install in the console at the directory of the bot
2. Start the bot with the command npm start in the console at the directory of the bot
