I am trying to send information from a json file that holds stats of my Discord Bot over to a stats website I am also making on glitch to eventually create a line chart (which I may need help on)
How can I do this?
There are 3 solutions for this.
-
Host a database and have both projects connect to that same database to store info.
-
Make the website in the same project as the bot. (Basically just host an express server in server.js or your main file as well as the bot)
-
This post explains the third solution: How to get information of a other glitch project?
- Make your bot make post requests to the web server on a secret url(like /totallynotaurltoupdatebotdata).
This is sort of what my solution 3 is, but yes, this is another solution.
I wonder if it would be possible to open a 2 way websockets channel between to servers. That could be a feature for glitch
For your first solution, I’m not too sure how to do that and it honestly sounds complicated. The second solution, I have tried to make the website on the same project as the rest of the bot but I am also not too sure how to work it properly. I do use express already in my project to get it pinged and have it stay awake using UptimeRobot but I don’t fully understand the rest of what you said in the second solution.
The third solution, I saw that post before and I haven’t gotten in to API and didn’t understand the examples. I replied and was told to create a new thread.
