Discordapierror[10062]: unknown interaction

by

When you encounter the Discord API error discordapierror[10062]: unknown interaction, it means that the interaction being made with the Discord API is not recognized or understood.

This error typically occurs when a user or a bot tries to interact with a Discord slash command or an application command that does not exist or has not been registered properly.

To resolve this error, you need to ensure that you are sending valid and recognized interactions to the Discord API. This involves checking if the slash command or application command you are using is correctly registered on your Discord application.

Here is an example of how to properly register a slash command using the Discord API:


const { REST } = require('@discordjs/rest');
const { Routes } = require('discord-api-types/v9');

const commands = [
    {
        name: 'ping',
        description: 'Replies with Pong!'
    }
];

const clientId = 'YOUR_CLIENT_ID';
const guildId = 'YOUR_GUILD_ID';

const rest = new REST({ version: '9' }).setToken('YOUR_TOKEN');

(async () => {
    try {
        await rest.put(
            Routes.applicationGuildCommands(clientId, guildId),
            { body: commands },
        );

        console.log('Successfully registered commands!');
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
})();

In the above example, we are using the Discord.js library to register a slash command named “ping” with a description of “Replies with Pong!”. Make sure to replace the placeholders with your actual client ID, guild ID, and token.

Once you have registered the command, you should be able to interact with it without encountering the discordapierror[10062] error. If the error persists, double-check your registration process and ensure that the command is correctly set up on your Discord application.
