Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

---

Below are some burning questions you might have about ScurryPy.

If you have a question, consult this page first. Not answered? Ask in the support server!

Q. What is an addon?

Addons are modular extensions that subscribe to the client's event system to provide higher-level functionality. Check out examples of addons here.

Q. Why don't events autocreate resources?

Events expose data, not capabilities. This separation keeps behavior explicit and avoids hidden side effects. If you prefer higher-level abstractions, see scurrypy.ext.

See the addon example for reference.

Q. Do I have to use scurrypy.ext?

No. The core client handles gateway and HTTP functionality. Extensions are entirely optional.

See core examples for examples on using ScurryPy without scurrypy.ext.

Q. Is caching built-in?

No. Caching is provided as optional addons under scurrypy.ext.cache.
