How to join a server?

Question

I\'m trying to setup a discord bot with python. I have a pre-existing discord server that I would like the bot to join, but I\'m having a hard time doing so.

I had some trouble with this as well. What you need to do is:

1. Go to the Discord developer pages (login if you haven't).
2. Go to the application with the bot you want to add to your channel.
3. Copy the Client/Application ID.
4. Go to https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=CLIENT_ID_GOES_HERE&scope=bot&permissions=0 < You can set permissions for the bot here. Permissions can be calculated here.
5. Select server and click authorize.

Your bot will now be a member of the server and will respond to commands you give it. Ex. !test in the code you have given.

EDIT: You can now use the permissions link (1) to generate the entire URL needed.
