Documentation

Getting Started

First of all, you will need to register slash commands:

const { REST } = require("@discordjs/rest");
const { Routes } = require("discord-api-types/v9");

const commands = [{
    name: "play",
    description: "Plays a song!",
    options: [
        {
            name: "query",
            type: "STRING",
            description: "The song you want to play",
            required: true
        }
    ]
}]; 

const rest = new REST({ version: "9" }).setToken(process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN);

(async () => {
  try {
    console.log("Started refreshing application [/] commands.");

    await rest.put(
      Routes.applicationGuildCommands(CLIENT_ID, GUILD_ID),
      { body: commands },
    );

    console.log("Successfully reloaded application [/] commands.");
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
  }
})();

Now you can implement your bot's logic:

const { Client, Intents } = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_VOICE_STATES] });
const { Player } = require("discord-player");

// Create a new Player (you don't need any API Key)
const player = new Player(client);

// add the trackStart event so when a song will be played this message will be sent
player.on("trackStart", (queue, track) => queue.metadata.channel.send(`🎶 | Now playing **${track.title}**!`))

client.once("ready", () => {
    console.log("I'm ready !");
});

client.on("interactionCreate", async (interaction) => {
    if (!interaction.isCommand()) return;

    // /play Despacito
    // will play "Despacito" in the voice channel
    if (interaction.commandName === "play") {
        if (!interaction.member.voice.channelId) return await interaction.reply({ content: "You are not in a voice channel!", ephemeral: true });
        if (interaction.guild.me.voice.channelId && interaction.member.voice.channelId !== interaction.guild.me.voice.channelId) return await interaction.reply({ content: "You are not in my voice channel!", ephemeral: true });
        const query = interaction.options.get("query").value;
        const queue = player.createQueue(interaction.guild, {
            metadata: {
                channel: interaction.channel
            }
        });
        
        // verify vc connection
        try {
            if (!queue.connection) await queue.connect(interaction.member.voice.channel);
        } catch {
            queue.destroy();
            return await interaction.reply({ content: "Could not join your voice channel!", ephemeral: true });
        }

        await interaction.deferReply();
        const track = await player.search(query, {
            requestedBy: interaction.user
        }).then(x => x.tracks[0]);
        if (!track) return await interaction.followUp({ content: `❌ | Track **${query}** not found!` });

        queue.play(track);

        return await interaction.followUp({ content: `⏱️ | Loading track **${track.title}**!` });
    }
});

client.login(process.env.DISCORD_TOKEN);

Supported websites

By default, discord-player supports YouTube, Spotify and SoundCloud streams only.

Optional dependencies

Discord Player provides an Extractor API that enables you to use your custom stream extractor with it. Some packages have been made by the community to add new features using this API.

@discord-player/extractor (optional)

Optional package that adds support for vimeo, reverbnation, facebook, attachment links and lyrics. You just need to install it using npm i --save @discord-player/extractor (discord-player will automatically detect and use it).

@discord-player/downloader (optional)

@discord-player/downloader is an optional package that brings support for +700 websites. The documentation is available here.

Advanced

Use cookies

const player = new Player(client, {
    ytdlOptions: {
        requestOptions: {
            headers: {
                cookie: "YOUR_YOUTUBE_COOKIE"
            }
        }
    }
});

Use custom proxies

const HttpsProxyAgent = require("https-proxy-agent");

// Remove "user:pass@" if you don't need to authenticate to your proxy.
const proxy = "http://user:pass@111.111.111.111:8080";
const agent = HttpsProxyAgent(proxy);

const player = new Player(client, {
    ytdlOptions: {
        requestOptions: { agent }
    }
});
