# Basic Operations Questions
In the following section, you will find commonly asked questions and
answers regarding basic usage of the library, as well as
language-specific tips when using this library.
## How should I safely check a type?
> [!WARNING]
> Direct casting (e.g., `(Type)type`) is **the least recommended**
> way of casting, as it *can* throw an [InvalidCastException]
> when the object isn't the desired type.
>
> Please refer to [this post] for more details.
In Discord.Net, the idea of polymorphism is used throughout. You may
need to cast the object as a certain type before you can perform any
action.
A good and safe casting example:
[!code-csharp[Casting](samples/cast.cs)]
[InvalidCastException]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.invalidcastexception
[this post]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/types/how-to-safely-cast-by-using-as-and-is-operators
## How do I send a message?
> [!TIP]
> The [GetChannel] method by default returns an [IChannel], allowing
> channel types such as [IVoiceChannel], [ICategoryChannel]
> to be returned; consequently, you cannot send a message
> to channels like those.
Any implementation of [IMessageChannel] has a [SendMessageAsync]
method. You can get the channel via [GetChannel] under the client.
Remember, when using Discord.Net, polymorphism is a common recurring
theme. This means an object may take in many shapes or form, which
means casting is your friend. You should attempt to cast the channel
as an [IMessageChannel] or any other entity that implements it to be
able to message.
[SendMessageAsync]: xref:Discord.IMessageChannel.SendMessageAsync*
[GetChannel]: xref:Discord.WebSocket.DiscordSocketClient.GetChannel*
## How can I tell if a message is from X, Y, Z channel?
You may check the message channel type. Visit [Glossary] to see the
various types of channels.
[Glossary]: xref:FAQ.Glossary#message-channels
## How can I get the guild from a message?
There are 2 ways to do this. You can do either of the following,
1. Cast the user as an [IGuildUser] and use its [IGuild] property.
2. Cast the channel as an [IGuildChannel] and use its [IGuild] property.
## How do I add hyperlink text to an embed?
Embeds can use standard [markdown] in the description field as well
as in field values. With that in mind, links can be added with
`[text](link)`.
[markdown]: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/210298617-Markdown-Text-101-Chat-Formatting-Bold-Italic-Underline-
## How do I add reactions to a message?
Any entity that implements [IUserMessage] has an [AddReactionAsync]
method. This method expects an [IEmote] as a parameter.
In Discord.Net, an Emote represents a custom-image emote, while an
Emoji is a Unicode emoji (standard emoji). Both [Emoji] and [Emote]
implement [IEmote] and are valid options.
# [Adding a reaction to another message](#tab/emoji-others)
[!code-csharp[Emoji](samples/emoji-others.cs)]
# [Adding a reaction to a sent message](#tab/emoji-self)
[!code-csharp[Emoji](samples/emoji-self.cs)]
***
[AddReactionAsync]: xref:Discord.IUserMessage.AddReactionAsync*
## What is a "preemptive rate limit?"
A preemptive rate limit is Discord.Net's way of telling you to slow
down before you get hit by the real rate limit. Hitting a real rate
limit might prevent your entire client from sending any requests for
a period of time. This is calculated based on the HTTP header
returned by a Discord response.
## Why am I getting so many preemptive rate limits when I try to add more than one reactions?
This is due to how HTML header works, mistreating
0.25sec/action to 1sec. This causes the lib to throw preemptive rate
limit more frequently than it should for methods such as adding
reactions.
## Can I opt-out of preemptive rate limits?
Unfortunately, not at the moment. See [#401](https://github.com/RogueException/Discord.Net/issues/401).

# Client Basics Questions
In the following section, you will find commonly asked questions and
answers about common issues that you may face when utilizing the
various clients offered by the library.
## My client keeps returning 401 upon logging in!
> [!WARNING]
> Userbot/selfbot (logging in with a user token) is no
> longer supported with this library starting from 2.0, as
> logging in under a user account may result in account termination.
>
> For more information, see issue [827] & [958], as well as the official
> [Discord API Terms of Service].
There are few possible reasons why this may occur.
1. You are not using the appropriate [TokenType]. If you are using a
bot account created from the Discord Developer portal, you should
be using `TokenType.Bot`.
2. You are not using the correct login credentials. Please keep in
mind that a token is **different** from a *client secret*.
[TokenType]: xref:Discord.TokenType
[827]: https://github.com/RogueException/Discord.Net/issues/827
[958]: https://github.com/RogueException/Discord.Net/issues/958
[Discord API Terms of Service]: https://discordapp.com/developers/docs/legal
## How do I do X, Y, Z when my bot connects/logs on? Why do I get a `NullReferenceException` upon calling any client methods after connect?
Your bot should **not** attempt to interact in any way with
guilds/servers until the [Ready] event fires. When the bot
connects, it first has to download guild information from
Discord for you to get access to any server
information; the client is not ready at this point.
Technically, the [GuildAvailable] event fires once the data for a
particular guild has downloaded; however, it is best to wait for all
guilds to be downloaded. Once all downloads are complete, the [Ready]
event is triggered, then you can proceed to do whatever you like.
[Ready]: xref:Discord.WebSocket.DiscordSocketClient.Ready
[GuildAvailable]: xref:Discord.WebSocket.BaseSocketClient.GuildAvailable
## How do I get a message's previous content when that message is edited?
If you need to do anything with messages (e.g., checking Reactions,
checking the content of edited/deleted messages), you must set the
[MessageCacheSize] in your [DiscordSocketConfig] settings in order to
use the cached message entity. Read more about it [here](xref:Guides.Concepts.Events#cacheable).
1. Message Cache must be enabled.
2. Hook the MessageUpdated event. This event provides a *before* and
*after* object.
3. Only messages received *after* the bot comes online will be
available in the cache.
[MessageCacheSize]: xref:Discord.WebSocket.DiscordSocketConfig.MessageCacheSize
[DiscordSocketConfig]: xref:Discord.WebSocket.DiscordSocketConfig
[MessageUpdated]: xref:Discord.WebSocket.BaseSocketClient.MessageUpdated

# Basic Concepts / Getting Started
In this following section, you will find commonly asked questions and
answers about how to get started with Discord.Net, as well as basic
introduction to the Discord API ecosystem.
## How do I add my bot to my server/guild?
You can do so by using the [permission calculator] provided
by [FiniteReality].
This tool allows you to set permissions that the bot will be assigned
with, and invite the bot into your guild. With this method, bots will
also be assigned a unique role that a regular user cannot use; this
is what we call a `Managed` role. Because you cannot assign this
role to any other users, it is much safer than creating a single
role which, intentionally or not, can be applied to other users
to escalate their privilege.
[FiniteReality]: https://github.com/FiniteReality/permissions-calculator
[permission calculator]: https://finitereality.github.io/permissions-calculator
## What is a token?
A token is a credential used to log into an account. This information
should be kept **private** and for your eyes only. Anyone with your
token can log into your account. This risk applies to both user
and bot accounts. That also means that you should **never** hardcode
your token or add it into source control, as your identity may be
stolen by scrape bots on the internet that scours through
constantly to obtain a token.
## What is a client/user/object ID?
Each user and object on Discord has its own snowflake ID generated
based on various conditions.
![Snowflake Generation](images/snowflake.png)
Anyone can see the ID; it is public. It is merely used to
identify an object in the Discord ecosystem. Many things in the
Discord ecosystem require an ID to retrieve or identify the said
object.
There are 2 common ways to obtain the said ID.
### [Discord Developer Mode](#tab/dev-mode)
By enabling the developer mode you can right click on most objects
to obtain their snowflake IDs (please note that this may not apply to
all objects, such as role IDs, or DM channel IDs).
![Developer Mode](images/dev-mode.png)
### [Escape Character](#tab/escape-char)
You can escape an object by using `\` in front the object in the
Discord client. For example, when you do `\@Example#1234` in chat,
it will return the user ID of the aforementioned user.
![Escaping mentions](images/mention-escape.png)
***
## How do I get the role ID?
> [!WARNING]
> Right-clicking on the role and copying the ID will **not** work.
> This will only copy the message ID.
Several common ways to do this:
1. Make the role mentionable and mention the role, and escape it
using the `\` character in front.
2. Inspect the roles collection within the guild via your debugger.
