## How It Works
Under the hood, Pycord REST creates an HTTP server using FastAPI and Uvicorn that:
1. Listens for incoming Discord interaction requests on your specified endpoint
2. Verifies the request signature using your application's public key
3. Routes the interaction to the appropriate command handler
4. Returns the response back to Discord
Unlike traditional Discord bots that maintain a persistent WebSocket connection to Discord's gateway, HTTP-based bots:
- Only wake up when an interaction is received
- Don't receive real-time events from Discord

### Server Configuration
For Discord to reach your bot, you need a publicly accessible HTTPS URL. Options include:
- Using a VPS with a domain and SSL certificate
- Deploying to a cloud service like Heroku, Railway, or Fly.io
### Health Check
By default, Pycord REST includes a `/health` endpoint that returns a 200 status code. This endpoint is useful for monitoring services like UptimeRobot or health checks.

## Development Workflow
For faster development and testing, you can use tunneling tools to expose your local development server:
- **ngrok** - Creates a secure tunnel to your localhost
```bash
# Install ngrok
npm install -g ngrok
# Expose your local server
ngrok http 8000
```
- **Cloudflare Tunnel** - Provides a secure connection to your local server
- **localtunnel** - Simple tunnel service for exposing local endpoints
These tools provide temporary URLs that you can use in the Discord Developer Portal during development, allowing you to test changes quickly without deploying to production.
