I was able to get the URL from the attachment and send back the image to the discord server, but when it came to displaying the image through the Pycharm IDE, I was not able to do so.
I tried using matplotlib and skimage to display the image but to no avail.
import os
import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import requests
from discord import Embed
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from skimage import io
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix = '.')
@client.event
async def on_ready():
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content.startswith('$hello'):
await message.channel.send('Hello')
if message.attachments[0].url.endswith('png') or message.attachments[0].url.endswith('jpg') or message.attachments[0].url.endswith('jpeg'):
await message.channel.send('This is a picture') #check if the attachment is a image
url = message.attachments[0].url # get the url to the attached image
e = discord.Embed()
e.set_image(url=message.attachments[0].url)
await message.channel.send(embed=e) # embed the image and send it back to the discord channel
#try to display the image
image = io.imread(url)
plt.imshow(image)
plt.show()
