import requests # dependency

url = "<your url>" # webhook url, from here: https://i.imgur.com/f9XnAew.png

# for all params, see https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook#execute-webhook
data = {
    "content" : "message content",
    "username" : "custom username"
}

# leave this out if you dont want an embed
# for all params, see https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#embed-object
data["embeds"] = [
    {
        "description" : "text in embed",
        "title" : "embed title"
    }
]

result = requests.post(url, json = data)

try:
    result.raise_for_status()
except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as err:
    print(err)
else:
    print(f"Payload delivered successfully, code {result.status_code}.")

Hey guys, is there a way to send texts that are actually links?
like in html e.g(Text)
I am trying to send shoe sizes as a message to my chanel, and I want to be able to click on those sizes and itll take me to the respective page of each size

@andyias you can use markdown links in the webhook content

[the link](https://example.com)

this is something unique to webhooks, and won't work for normal discord messages.

@Senoel i recommend taking a look at https://leovoel.github.io/embed-visualizer/ (make sure to click on "webhook mode")

you can also take a look at https://birdie0.github.io/discord-webhooks-guide/structure/file.html for sending files without an embed

very useful

very useful, since im a noob with python :D

Neat, thanks!

how would one attach a file?
do we just use .read() for the contents? and where does the file name go?

@Hypurrnating I think you can use this:
requests.post("<your webhook url>", json = {"content": "<your message here (you can just set to an empty string)>"}, files = {"myfile": open("<your file path here>", "rb")})
Note that you can change myfile to anything other, and so, add multiple items into the dictionnary passed to files by changing the name.
