Input options

• Search Query -- Optional keyword to filter results (e.g. "gaming", "crypto", "anime")
• Category -- Filter by discord.com category (Gaming, Entertainment, Education, Music, Science & Tech)
• Sources -- Which directories to scrape. Defaults to discord.com. Select multiple for broader coverage.
• Max Items -- Maximum number of servers to return (default: 50)

How it works

The scraper fetches publicly accessible directory pages from each selected source and extracts server data:

1. discord.com/servers -- Parses server-rendered React data embedded in the page HTML. Supports keyword search and category filtering. Returns the richest data including member counts, boost levels, and verification status. 12 servers per page, paginated via offset.

2. discord.me -- Scrapes HTML server cards using CSS selectors. Limited data (no member counts or server IDs) but covers servers not listed on discord.com. 60+ servers per page.

3. top.gg -- Parses Next.js SSR data from the page. Includes vote counts and review scores. Tag-based browsing.

No Discord bot token or user token is required. All data comes from publicly accessible web pages.
