OS-Wide Discord Emojis

This repo contains the tools to download and use Discord emojis anywhere you can paste images with the help of the excellent CopyQ.

Warning

This script uses libraries that enable "self botting", which is explicitly against Discord's ToS. Accounts you use with this script may be banned. It is recommended to create an alternate account and join the servers you'd like to use.

Demo

Pasting to a Teams chat.

Features

• Fast and near universal operation
• Parallel emoji downloads
• Animated and static emoji support
• Normalize emoji size
• Deduplicated search results

Installation

Prerequisites

• CopyQ installed
• Discord self-token. This is the value Authorization the authorization header for /api requests, which you can inspect in your browser or client.
• Python with necessary libraries:

python -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate # or ./venv/Scripts/activate on windows
pip install -r requirements.txt

• ffmpeg accessible in your PATH variable if you want to normalize the size of Emojis (recommended. If you don't, emojis will paste in their native size, and will also be listed in their native size, depending on CopyQ settings)

Step 1: Download and normalize emojis

Make sure the DISCORD_TOKEN environment variable is set, optionally through a .env file.

python cli.py dump --normalize 128

Example output:

Step 3: Import the command into CopyQ

• Open CopyQ
• Press F6 to open the command window
• Click "Load Commands..."
• Select the file generated in the previous step

Limitations

• Transparent PNGs do not show correctly in Teams
  • as far as I know this is a Teams issue and there is no way around this.
