## Pricing

from $0.10 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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

### Important points to consider when using this actor

1. You can save costs by configuring this actor to run on low memory, as low as 512MB. Increasing memory won't make it faster or better.
2. If the actor stops before scraping all records due to unexpected error, you can simply ressurect the actor to resume scraping.

### Features

1. Scrape messages from any discord server channel
2. Scrape members of any discord server

### How to get Token

To get the token follow these steps:

1. Login to your discord account using google chrome
2. Open Developer tools (3 Dots Menu > More tools > Developer tools)
3. Goto 'Console' Tab and paste following code and press ENTER. It will copy the token to your clipboard automatically. (You should get message that says "Worked!" if the token was copied successfully)

```js
window.webpackChunkdiscord_app.push([
	[Symbol()],
	{},
	req => {
		if (!req.c) return;
		for (let m of Object.values(req.c)) {
			try {
				if (!m.exports || m.exports === window) continue;
				if (m.exports?.getToken) return copy(m.exports.getToken());
				for (let ex in m.exports) {
					if (m.exports?.[ex]?.getToken && m.exports[ex][Symbol.toStringTag] !== 'IntlMessagesProxy') return copy(m.exports[ex].getToken());
				}
			} catch {}
		}
	},
]);

window.webpackChunkdiscord_app.pop();
console.log('%cWorked!', 'font-size: 50px');
console.log(`%cYou now have your token in the clipboard!`, 'font-size: 16px');

```

Here is the sample output of this actor:

```

## MCP server setup

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

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).
