ilynyne/discord-bot-ddos ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple Discord bot in Node.js that connects to an external API and can respond to a few basic commands in chat.

I want it to be easy to set up, with the bot token and API link stored in one place, and clear instructions for running it locally. It should reply with useful status messages, maybe show that the API is working, and send a friendly confirmation when it starts up. If you need to, look up the current docs online for the Discord library and the best way to make requests from Node.js.

Please keep it small and straightforward, with everything in one main file if possible, and make sure it’s easy for me to customize later.
