Discord Scraper — Messages, Members & Server Data

Reliable Discord data export using the official REST API — no hijacked user sessions, no fragile tokens that die mid-run. Two paths:

• Anonymous (no credentials) — resolve invite links to server stats, and pull live online member lists from widget-enabled servers
• Bot token (your servers) — full message history, member lists, channel inventory, and guild stats for any server your bot has joined

Modes

Mode	Auth	What you get
invite	none	Server name, description, member + online counts, features, verification status, boost count, channel the invite points to
widget	none	Live online member list (usernames, status, activity) + server channels for widget-enabled guilds
guild	bot token	Guild overview: name, member counts, features, verification level, boost count
channels	bot token	Every channel in the guild — name, type (text/voice/forum/stage), topic, position, NSFW flag
messages	bot token	Full channel history — author, content, timestamp, attachments, reactions, edits; paginates with before cursor
members	bot token	Member export — username, nickname, roles, join date, avatar (needs Server Members intent enabled)

Getting a bot token (2 minutes, free)

1. Go to discord.com/developers/applications → New Application
2. Bot tab → copy the token
3. Enable Message Content Intent and Server Members Intent (same page)
4. Invite it: https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<APP_ID>&scope=bot&permissions=117760
5. Paste the token into discordToken

Use cases

• Community analytics — track member counts and online presence across servers over time (schedule invite mode daily)
• Server backup/export — full message + member export before migration or for compliance
• Lead research — invite links reveal server size, niche, and engagement instantly
• Competitor/community monitoring — widget-enabled servers expose live online rosters

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
mode	string	invite	invite, widget, guild, channels, messages, members
discordToken	string	—	Bot token (required for token modes)
invites	array	["midjourney"]	Invite codes or URLs for invite mode
guildIds	array	—	Server IDs for widget/guild/channels/members
channelIds	array	—	Channel IDs for messages
before	string	—	Resume pagination from a message snowflake
maxResults	int	100	Max rows per source
proxyConfiguration	object	—	Optional Apify proxy

Why this works when others fail

User-token (selfbot) scrapers get rate-limited and banned constantly — Discord kills those sessions on sight. This actor uses the official bot API: tokens are stable, rate limits are handled with proper backoff, and the data shape is documented.

Example output

{
  "recordType": "invite",
  "code": "midjourney",
  "guildId": "662267976984297473",
  "guildName": "Midjourney",
  "description": "The official server for Midjourney, a text-to-image AI.",
  "memberCount": 18533062,
  "onlineCount": 795934,
  "channelName": "getting-started",
  "features": ["VERIFIED", "BANNER", "WELCOME_SCREEN_ENABLED"],
  "premiumSubscriptionCount": 0,
  "url": "https://discord.gg/midjourney"
}

Pricing

$1.00 per 1,000 results (pay-per-event). A full channel history pull of 1,000 messages costs $1. Server previews are fractions of a cent.

FAQ

Do I need a Discord account? No — invite and widget modes work with zero credentials. Bot-token modes need a free bot you create in 2 minutes (steps above).

Is my bot token safe? Your token stays in your run input and is used only against Discord's official REST API — no user sessions, no selfbot tricks that get accounts banned.

Can I scrape any server? Anonymous modes resolve invite links and widget-enabled servers. Full message history and member lists require your bot to be invited to the guild — that's how Discord permissions work.

Can I schedule it? Yes — schedule invite mode daily to track member-count trends across servers, or messages mode with the before cursor for incremental channel sync.

Is it legal to scrape this data? The actor only accesses publicly available data — the same pages/APIs a browser sees. Scraping public data for research, monitoring, and analysis is common practice, but platform Terms of Service and the rules in your jurisdiction still apply to how you use it. Consult legal counsel for your specific case.
