hikari.api.voice

Interfaces used to describe voice client implementations.

VoiceComponent

Bases: ABC

Interface for a voice system implementation.

connections abstractmethod property

connections: Mapping[Snowflake, VoiceConnection]

Return a mapping of guild-id to active voice connection.

is_alive abstractmethod property

is_alive: bool

Whether this component is alive.

close abstractmethod async

close() -> None

Shut down all connections, waiting for them to terminate.

Once this is done, unsubscribe from any events.

If you simply wish to disconnect every connection, use hikari.api.VoiceComponent.disconnect instead.

connect_to abstractmethod async

connect_to(guild: SnowflakeishOr[Guild], channel: SnowflakeishOr[GuildVoiceChannel], voice_connection_type: type[_VoiceConnectionT], *, deaf: bool = False, mute: bool = False, timeout: Optional[int] = 5, **kwargs: Any) -> _VoiceConnectionT

Connect to a given voice channel.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
guild	The guild to connect to. TYPE: SnowflakeishOr[Guild]
channel	The channel or channel ID to connect to. TYPE: SnowflakeishOr[GuildVoiceChannel]
voice_connection_type	The type of voice connection to use. This should be initialized internally using the hikari.api.voice.VoiceConnection.initialize classmethod. TYPE: type[_VoiceConnectionT]
deaf	If True, the client will enter the voice channel deafened (thus unable to hear other users). TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False
mute	If True, the client will enter the voice channel muted (thus unable to send audio). TYPE: bool DEFAULT: False
timeout	The amount of time, in seconds, to wait before erroring when connecting to the voice channel. If timeout is None there will be no timeout. Warning If timeout is None, this function will be awaited forever if an invalid guild_id or channel_id is provided. TYPE: Optional[int] DEFAULT: 5
**kwargs	Any arguments to provide to the hikari.api.voice.VoiceConnection.initialize method. TYPE: Any DEFAULT: {}

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
VoiceConnection	A voice connection implementation of some sort.

disconnect abstractmethod async

disconnect(guild: SnowflakeishOr[PartialGuild]) -> None

Disconnect from a given guild.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
guild	The guild to disconnect from. TYPE: SnowflakeishOr[PartialGuild]

disconnect_all abstractmethod async

disconnect_all() -> None

Disconnect all the active voice connections.

VoiceConnection

Bases: ABC

An abstract interface for defining how bots can interact with voice.

Since voice will generally be run in a subprocess to prevent interfering with the bot when performing CPU-bound encoding/encryption, any implementation of this is expected to implement the appropriate mechanisms for communicating with a voice subprocess and controlling it, however, this is left to the discretion of each implementation.

Control is left to the implementation to define how to perform it. The idea is to allow various decoders to be implemented to allow this to direct interface with other types of system outside this library, such as LavaLink, for example.

channel_id abstractmethod property

channel_id: Snowflake

ID of the voice channel this voice connection is in.

guild_id abstractmethod property

guild_id: Snowflake

ID of the guild this voice connection is in.

is_alive abstractmethod property

is_alive: bool

Whether the connection is alive.

owner abstractmethod property

owner: VoiceComponent

Return the component that is managing this connection.

shard_id abstractmethod property

shard_id: int

ID of the shard that requested the connection.

disconnect abstractmethod async

disconnect() -> None

Signal the process to shut down.

initialize abstractmethod async classmethod

initialize(channel_id: Snowflake, endpoint: str, guild_id: Snowflake, on_close: Callable[[Self], Awaitable[None]], owner: VoiceComponent, session_id: str, shard_id: int, token: str, user_id: Snowflake, **kwargs: Any) -> Self

Initialize and connect the voice connection.

PARAMETER	DESCRIPTION
channel_id	The channel ID that the voice connection is actively connected to. TYPE: Snowflake
endpoint	The voice websocket endpoint to connect to. Will contain the protocol at the start (i.e. [wss://][]), and end with the correct port (the port and protocol are sanitized since Discord still provide the wrong information four years later). TYPE: str
guild_id	The guild ID that the websocket should connect to. TYPE: Snowflake
on_close	A shutdown hook to invoke when closing a connection to ensure the connection is unregistered from the voice component safely. TYPE: Callable[[Self], Awaitable[None]]
owner	The component that made this connection object. TYPE: VoiceComponent
session_id	The voice session ID to use. TYPE: str
shard_id	The associated shard ID that the voice connection was generated from. TYPE: int
token	The voice token to use. TYPE: str
user_id	The user ID of the account that just joined the voice channel. TYPE: Snowflake
**kwargs	Any implementation-specific arguments to provide to the voice connection that is being initialized. TYPE: Any DEFAULT: {}

RETURNS	DESCRIPTION
VoiceConnection	The type of this connection object.

join abstractmethod async

join() -> None

Wait for the process to halt before continuing.

notify abstractmethod async

notify(event: VoiceEvent) -> None

Submit an event to the voice connection to be processed.
