## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Discord Directory Monitor — Server Discovery & Growth Tracking

**Discord server intelligence without a bot token.** Searches the two largest public Discord directories — **disboard + discord.me** — and returns live online counts, member totals, tags, ratings, and bump activity — then lets you track any server's growth on a schedule.

### Who it's for

- **Community managers** — benchmark your server against competitors in your niche, watch their online counts and growth
- **Brands & sponsors** — find active communities for partnerships, seeding and influencer outreach, ranked by real presence
- **Researchers & OSINT** — track communities forming around a topic, platform or event — no Discord account needed at all
- **Server owners** — monitor your own listing's rating and review flow

### What you get per server

```json
{
  "recordType": "server",
  "serverId": "1453421831569674364",
  "name": "Salty Spitoon",
  "onlineCount": 22,
  "members": 108,
  "bumpedAt": "2026-10-28T20:20:32Z",
  "rating": "5.0",
  "reviewCount": 1,
  "tags": ["gaming", "minecraft", "fortnite"],
  "description": "Looking for your next gaming community? ...",
  "joinUrl": "https://disboard.org/server/join/1453421831569674364"
}
```

### Modes

| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| **search** | Keyword search, tag browse, or the live bump feed on disboard (~24/page) **plus discord.me tag listings (~70/page)** — rows tagged by `source`. Returns name, snowflake ID, live online count, tags, description, join link |
| **server** | Full detail for server IDs or disboard URLs — adds member totals, star rating, review count |
| **watch** | `server_snapshot` rows for a list of servers — schedule it daily/hourly to chart online-presence and member growth |

**Schedule `watch` mode** and you get a growth chart for any community on the platform — the metric Discord itself doesn't expose publicly.

### Example inputs

```json
{ "mode": "search", "query": "crypto", "pages": 3 }
{ "mode": "search", "tag": "anime", "pages": 5 }
{ "mode": "watch", "serverIds": ["1453421831569674364", "1345291199933841461"] }
```

### Example output

```json
{
  "recordType": "server", "name": "Trading Community",
  "memberCount": 48230, "description": "Active day-trading and crypto community",
  "tags": ["trading", "crypto", "investing"], "directory": "disboard",
  "inviteUrl": "https://discord.gg/abc123",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-11-03T12:00:00+00:00"

search = server discovery by keyword/tag/bump-feed; server = full detail for IDs/URLs; watch = growth snapshots for scheduled tracking

## `query` (type: `string`):

search mode: keyword (e.g. 'crypto', 'anime') — empty returns the live bump feed

## `tag` (type: `string`):

search mode: disboard tag slug (gaming, music, crypto, studying, roleplay...) — clear it to use keyword search instead

## `serverIds` (type: `array`):

server/watch modes: Discord snowflake IDs or disboard.org/server/<id> URLs

## `pages` (type: `integer`):

search mode: listing pages to scan (~24 servers each)

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call brick_joey_yto/discord-directory-monitor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,brick_joey_yto/discord-directory-monitor"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
