Token & environment variables

Secure your token

Do not store never your Discord token in plain language in the code or a public repository. Use the environment variables of the panel.

1. Open the Variables / Startup tab of the panel
2. Add a variable, e.g. DISCORD_TOKENwith your token
3. Read it in the code via process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN (Node) or os.environ (Python)

Example (Node.js)

In your code: client.login(process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN). No sensitive value appears in the files.

Regenerating in case of leakage

If your token has been exposed, re-generate it immediately on the Discord developer portal, then update the environment variable and restart.
