## About

`@discordjs/rest` is a module that allows you to easily make REST requests to the Discord API.

## Installation

**Node.js 16.11.0 or newer is required.**

Note: native fetch (not recommended) is unavailable in this node version, either use a newer node version or use the more performant `undiciRequest` strategy (default)

```sh
npm install @discordjs/rest
yarn add @discordjs/rest
pnpm add @discordjs/rest
bun add @discordjs/rest
```

## Examples

Install all required dependencies:

```sh
npm install @discordjs/rest discord-api-types
yarn add @discordjs/rest discord-api-types
pnpm add @discordjs/rest discord-api-types
bun add @discordjs/rest discord-api-types
```

Send a basic message:

```js
import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { Routes } from 'discord-api-types/v10';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(TOKEN);

try {
	await rest.post(Routes.channelMessages(CHANNEL_ID), {
		body: {
			content: 'A message via REST!',
		},
	});
} catch (error) {
	console.error(error);
}
```

Create a thread from an existing message to be archived after 60 minutes of inactivity:

```js
import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { Routes } from 'discord-api-types/v10';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(TOKEN);

try {
	await rest.post(Routes.threads(CHANNEL_ID, MESSAGE_ID), {
		body: {
			name: 'Thread',
			auto_archive_duration: 60,
		},
	});
} catch (error) {
	console.error(error);
}
```

Send a basic message in an edge environment:

```js
import { REST } from '@discordjs/rest';
import { Routes } from 'discord-api-types/v10';

const rest = new REST({ version: '10', makeRequest: fetch }).setToken(TOKEN);

try {
	await rest.post(Routes.channelMessages(CHANNEL_ID), {
		body: {
			content: 'A message via REST from the edge!',
		},
	});
} catch (error) {
	console.error(error);
}
```
