Q: I want to download files from a Discord site every 5 minutes. I do not own the site
I am a member of a Discord community.
One of the directories is updated every 5 minutes and uses a hyperlink to an AWS file.
I manually download this file.
Can this be automated?

The Discord API doesn’t allow bots to be added to a channel you don’t own. The only workaround I see is scraping via the Discord web interface, since it's possible to automate any web application with Robomotion.
However, the challenge is that Discord, like other popular platforms, has strong bot detection mechanisms, which could make this approach difficult. Still, this seems like the only option worth trying to see if it works.
Best,
