# Getting started *** **Dispy** is a Python library that simplifies Discord bot development by handling all the complexities of asynchronous programming and API interactions. Unlike discord.py and discord.js, Dispy allows users to write straightforward Python code without worrying about intents, event loops, or async functions. The library runs everything asynchronously in the background, ensuring high performance without requiring the developer to manage any of it. Dispy lets bot developers focus on their ideas and the structure of their bots instead of getting lost in the complexities of learning a library. It simplifies the development process, making it easier to bring creative concepts to life without the usual hassle. ## Summary *** * Getting Started * [Introduction](/dispy/documentation/readme/introduction.md): Installation and importation * [Setup your bot on discord](/dispy/documentation/readme/setup-your-bot-on-discord.md): Getting your bot token and invite link * [Examples](/dispy/documentation/examples.md): Get familiarize with Dispy * Contribute * [Adding an API function](/dispy/informations/contribute/adding-an-api-function.md): Learn how to add any missing functions to Dispy * Versions ([Changelogs](/dispy/informations/changelogs.md)) * [0.1.1](/dispy/informations/changelogs/0.1.1.md) * [0.1.0.7](/dispy/informations/changelogs/0.1.0.7.md) * [0.1.0.6](/dispy/informations/changelogs/0.1.0.6.md) * [0.1.0.5](/dispy/informations/changelogs/0.1.0.5.md) * [0.1.0](/dispy/informations/changelogs/0.1.0.md) * [0.0.1](/dispy/informations/changelogs/0.0.1.md) * [Roadmap](/dispy/informations/roadmap.md): See the progression of Dispy * [Support](/dispy/informations/support.md): Know if your project can be made using Dispy --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
