Discord bots

Hi there, I was wondering if there is a possibility to run Discord bots from here. When running my code, I receive following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/thijsk1/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/aiohttp/connector.py", line 936, in _wrap_create_connection
    return await self._loop.create_connection(*args, **kwargs)  # type: ignore  # noqa

    await self.sock_connect(sock, address)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/asyncio/selector_events.py", line 485, in sock_connect
    return await fut
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/asyncio/selector_events.py", line 517, in _sock_connect_cb
    raise OSError(err, f'Connect call failed {address}')
ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connect call failed ('162.159.135.233', 443)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Free accounts can't use the Discord websockets API, but you can use their HTTP-based one. This forum post explains how to do that.
