Update Discord Avatar / Profile Picture Action

Warning

I don't take any responsibility for blocked Discord accounts that used this module.

Caution

Using this on a user account is prohibited by the Discord TOS and can lead to the account block.

Important Disclaimer:

This GitHub Action uses a selfbot (via discord.js-selfbot-v13) to update a personal Discord profile picture automatically and integrates 2captcha to solve hCaptcha challenges. Using a selfbot violates Discord’s Terms of Service and may result in account suspension or ban. Use at your own risk!

Key Features:

• Automated Avatar Update:
  Updates your Discord profile picture to the image you specify.

• Captcha Solver Integration:
  Automatically solves hCaptcha challenges via the 2captcha API.

• GitHub Action Ready:
  Easily integrate this action into your workflows by referencing it as @v1.

• CI/CD and Versioning:
  Includes workflows for building, testing, and auto–bumping versions with a continuously updated v1 tag.

Usage

  The path (relative to the repository root) to the image that should be used as the new avatar.
  Example: images/new_avatar.png

Required Environment Variables

• DISCORD_TOKEN:

Example Workflow

To use this action in your repository, create a workflow file (e.g. .github/workflows/update-avatar.yml) with the following content:

name: Update Discord Avatar

on:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  update-avatar:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Check out repository

      - name: Update Discord Avatar
        uses: webgrip/discord-change-avatar-action@v1
        with:
          imagePath: "images/new_avatar.png"
        env:
          DISCORD_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.DISCORD_TOKEN }}
          API_TOKEN_2CAPTCHA: ${{ secrets.API_TOKEN_2CAPTCHA }}

Development

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/webgrip/discord-change-avatar-action.git
   cd discord-change-avatar-action
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

Build

Build the action using ncc:

npm run build

This compiles your source code from src/main.js into dist/index.js.

Testing

Tests are written using Jest. Run tests with:

npm test

Versioning and Releases

• Versioning is managed via npm version patch.
• A CI workflow (see below) automatically builds, commits the dist/ folder, bumps the version, and (if the major version is 1) updates the v1 tag.
• This allows you to reference the action with @v1 in workflows so that minor and patch updates are automatically tracked.

CI/CD Workflow

The CI workflow (.github/workflows/build-and-commit-dist.yml) performs the following steps:

1. Checks out the repository with full history.
2. Installs dependencies and runs tests.
3. Builds the action (bundles source code into dist/).
4. Commits the updated dist/ directory.
5. Bumps the version (using npm version patch).
6. Pushes the changes.
7. Updates the v1 tag if the major version is 1.

A sample workflow is provided in the repository.

Security & Compliance Warning

• Selfbots Violate Discord’s TOS:
  This action logs into your personal account and uses a selfbot to update your avatar. Discord prohibits automated use of user tokens, and using this action may result in account suspension or banning.

• Token Security:
  Ensure that your tokens (DISCORD_TOKEN and API_TOKEN_2CAPTCHA) are stored securely as GitHub Secrets.
