Improper Token

[JustAChickenBoi]

I used the token grabbed from dev tools > network > message > authentication
yet program returns with following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\discord\http.py", line 300, in static_login
data = await self.request(Route('GET', '/users/@me'))
File "C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\discord\http.py", line 254, in request
raise HTTPException(r, data)
discord.errors.HTTPException: 401 Unauthorized (error code: 0): 401: Unauthorized

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

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Desktop\Self User.py", line 113, in
bot.run("{im not giving u my token}")
File "C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python37\site-packages\discord\client.py", line 723, in run

raise LoginFailure('Improper token has been passed.') from exc
discord.errors.LoginFailure: Improper token has been passed.

any ideas?

heres the source code:

---

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="/")

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
print("-"*20)
print("Logged In As")
print(f"User: {bot.user.name}")
print(f"ID: {bot.user.id}")
print("-"*20)

@bot.command()
async def ping(ctx):
await ctx.send("pong")

bot.run("MY TOKEN BUT HIDDEN")

---

any ideas of how to fix?

by the way, I have tried bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="/", self_bot=True)

I have had the same issue before, make sure you grab the token from the "Bot" page in the discord development site and not the "Secret" token from the general information page.

If you have done that then I would change your code to the following:
client = discord.Client()
client.run(TOKEN)
