Nextcord is a modern, async-ready Python wrapper for the Discord API, forked from discord.py. It provides a Pythonic API with proper rate limit handling, slash command support, and optional voice capabilities.
Use cases
- build a discord bot in python
- create slash commands for a discord server
- handle discord api rate limits automatically
- add voice support to a discord bot
- make an ephemeral ping command bot
- migrate from discord.py to a maintained fork
When to choose
- you want to build Discord bots in Python with async/await
- you need slash command and interaction support
- you want a maintained fork of discord.py with active releases
When to avoid
- you need a Discord library in another language like JavaScript or Rust
- you want a high-level hosted bot framework with dashboards
- you need Python versions older than 3.12
