Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. Actors are written with capital "A". ## 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. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Discord Community Digest Generator Generate daily or weekly Discord community digests from servers you own or manage. This Actor turns recent Discord channel activity into CSV/API-friendly rows and a ready-to-copy markdown digest. It is built for community managers, server owners, moderators, creators, support teams, and product communities. ### What it generates The Actor scans selected Discord channels and reports: - total messages scanned - active channels - unique authors - most active channels - most active authors - links shared - open-looking questions - attachment counts - optional message samples - a markdown digest summary This v1 uses deterministic heuristics. It does **not** call an LLM by default, so cost and behavior are predictable. ### Important permission note This Actor is for Discord servers you own or manage. It requires your own Discord bot token and only accesses channels your bot has permission to read. It does **not** bypass Discord permissions, use user tokens, scrape private servers, or extract members from servers you do not control. For message content, your Discord bot may need the Message Content Intent enabled in the Discord Developer Portal and the right channel permissions. ### Input ```json { "botToken": "YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN", "guildId": "123456789012345678", "channelIds": ["234567890123456789"], "hoursBack": 24, "maxMessagesPerChannel": 500, "includeMessageSamples": false, "includeMarkdownDigest": true, "topLimit": 10 } ```` #### Input fields - `botToken` — Discord bot token. Store this as a secret. - `guildId` — Discord server ID. - `channelIds` — optional text/thread/announcement channel IDs. If omitted, the Actor scans visible text and announcement channels. - `hoursBack` — time window, 1 to 168 hours. - `maxMessagesPerChannel` — per-channel scan cap. - `includeMessageSamples` — include short snippets in output. Disabled by default for privacy. - `includeMarkdownDigest` — write a ready-to-copy markdown digest row. - `topLimit` — number of top links/questions/authors to include. ### Output Dataset row types: - `summary` - `channel_activity` - `active_author` - `link` - `question` - `markdown_digest` - `channel_error` Example markdown digest row: ```json { "recordType": "markdown_digest", "guildId": "123456789012345678", "markdownDigest": "# Discord community digest\n..." } ``` ### Common uses - create daily or weekly Discord recaps - find active channels and dead channels - collect links shared by the community - surface unanswered-looking questions - prepare moderator/community manager reports - export community activity to Sheets, Notion, Airtable, or a warehouse # Actor input Schema ## `botToken` (type: `string`): Discord bot token. Use an Apify secret. The bot must be installed in the server and have permission to view selected channels and read message history. ## `guildId` (type: `string`): Discord guild/server ID that you own or manage. ## `channelIds` (type: `array`): Text, announcement, forum thread, or public thread channel IDs to include. If empty, the Actor uses visible text/announcement channels. ## `hoursBack` (type: `integer`): How far back to collect messages for the digest. ## `maxMessagesPerChannel` (type: `integer`): Maximum messages to scan per selected channel. ## `includeMessageSamples` (type: `boolean`): Include short representative message snippets in the output. Disable for stricter privacy. ## `includeMarkdownDigest` (type: `boolean`): Write a ready-to-copy markdown digest row. ## `topLimit` (type: `integer`): How many top channels, links, questions, and active users to include. ## Actor input object example ```json { "hoursBack": 24, "maxMessagesPerChannel": 500, "includeMessageSamples": false, "includeMarkdownDigest": true, "topLimit": 10 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("charlieakan/discord-community-digest-generator").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
