Disboard Scraper

Disboard Scraper creates a structured dataset of Discord server records collected from disboard.org. Each dataset item represents one Discord server listing and can include the server name, description, community tags, approximate online members, star rating, review count, icon, bump timestamp, and discovery source. Query the source using a community tag, keyword search, or a direct DISBOARD URL, control the result limit with maxItems, and retrieve records through the Apify Dataset API or export them as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML.

Coverage and available records

The Actor returns Discord server listings from DISBOARD, resolved from community tags, keyword searches, or direct URLs. Supported coverage includes:

• Browsing by community tag (for example gaming, anime, chat, community).
• Keyword search across server listings.
• Direct tag-page, search-result, and server URLs via startUrls.
• NSFW server inclusion toggled by includeNsfw (applies to search queries).
• Listing metadata including name, description, tags, approximate online members, rating, review count, icon, and bump timestamp.

Community tags and search queries can be combined in the same run; the Actor processes all inputs and deduplicates servers by serverId.

Retrieve the data through the API

1. Start the Actor with a JSON input containing community tags, search queries, or start URLs.
2. Wait for the run to finish, or use the synchronous run endpoint.
3. Retrieve items from the run's default dataset via the Dataset API.
4. Paginate the dataset or export it in the required format.

The Apify Console generates ready-to-run code for Python, JavaScript, and other languages in the Actor's API tab; see that tab for the current endpoint and authentication details. Never place a real API token in a URL or example.

Data quality and record handling

• Ratings and review counts are conditional and appear only when DISBOARD exposes them.
• onlineMembers is the approximate count shown on the listing card, not an exact member total.
• Within a run, servers are deduplicated by serverId. Across runs, key on serverId.
• Source changes to DISBOARD can affect extraction; the Actor fails soft so a single bad listing does not stop the run.
• Enable Apify Residential proxies (the default) to reduce blocks; broader tags return more listings.

Export and pipeline examples

Destination	Recommended method	Typical use
PostgreSQL/Supabase	Dataset API or webhook consumer	Store server records keyed on serverId
Google Sheets	Apify integration	Shareable community list
S3/cloud storage	Scheduled export or integration	Periodic community archive

Pricing and cost examples

Billing is pay-per-event. Each server listing written to the dataset is one dataset-item charge; pages crawled do not add per-item fees. apify-actor-start is a small one-time per-run charge.

Records	Estimated base cost
1,000 servers	$1.00
10,000 servers	$10.00

Estimates assume the published pay-per-event model and do not include Apify platform usage; Apify subscription plan discounts may reduce the per-event rate.

Limitations and responsible data use

• Only publicly accessible DISBOARD listings are returned; rating and reviewCount are absent where not exposed.
• onlineMembers is approximate and reflects the listing card at run time.
• Extraction depends on DISBOARD's current availability and site structure, which can change without notice.
• No historical snapshots are stored unless the user archives dataset exports.
• Users are responsible for compliance with applicable terms of service and privacy obligations.

Dataset questions

What does one dataset item represent?

One dataset item is a single Discord server listing, identified by serverId.

Which field should I use as a unique identifier?

Use serverId; it is the Discord guild ID and is stable across runs.

Are fields nullable or conditional?

Yes. rating, reviewCount, iconUrl, and description depend on what DISBOARD exposes for the listing.

Can I retrieve the records as CSV or JSON?

Yes. The dataset can be exported as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML from the Apify Console or Dataset API.

How do I paginate large datasets?

Raise maxItems (set 0 for unlimited) to collect more records in a single run, then paginate via the Dataset API.

What counts as a billable result?

Each server listing written to the dataset is one dataset-item charge.
