discord.py: How to get the user who invited/added the bot to his server? [solution]

I want to send a DM to the user, who invited/added the bot to his server.
I noticed that it's displayed in the audit log. Can I fetch that and get the user or is there a easier way to achieve that?

Example:
bot = commands.Bot()

@bot.event
async def on_guild(guild, inviter):
    await inviter.send("Thanks for adding the bot to your server!")
Solution

  • With discord.py 2.0 you can get the BotIntegration of a server and with that the user who invited the bot.

    Example

    from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot()

@bot.event
async def on_guild_join(guild):
    # get all server integrations
    integrations = await guild.integrations()

    for integration in integrations:
        if isinstance(integration, discord.BotIntegration):
            if integration.application.user.name == bot.user.name:
                bot_inviter = integration.user # returns a discord.User object
                
                # send message to the inviter to say thank you
                await bot_inviter.send("Thank you for inviting my bot!!")
                break

    Note: guild.integrations() requires the Manage Server (manage_guild) permission.
