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 Server Directory Scraper Scrape public Discord server listings from multiple directories -- no Discord token required. Extracts server names, descriptions, member counts, categories, invite links, and more from **discord.com/servers**, **discord.me**, and **top.gg**. ### What data does it extract? | Field | Description | discord.com | discord.me | top.gg | |-------|-------------|:-----------:|:----------:|:------:| | server_name | Server name | Y | Y | Y | | server_description | Description text | Y | Y | Y | | server_id | Discord guild snowflake ID | Y | - | Y | | member_count | Approximate total members | Y | - | Y | | online_count | Approximate online members | Y | - | - | | category_tags | Category / tag labels | Y | Y | Y | | language | Server locale (e.g. en-US) | Y | - | - | | invite_url | Join link | Y | Y | Y | | icon_url | Server icon image URL | Y | Y | Y | | banner_url | Server banner image URL | Y | Y | - | | boost_level | Nitro boost count | Y | - | - | | verification_level | VERIFIED, COMMUNITY, etc. | Y | - | - | | nsfw | NSFW flag | Y | - | Y | | keywords | Server keywords / search tags | Y | Y | Y | | votes | Community votes (top.gg only) | - | - | Y | | source | Which directory the listing came from | Y | Y | Y | | source_url | Direct link to the listing page | Y | Y | Y | ### 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. ### Example output ```json { "server_name": "Midjourney", "server_description": "The official server for Midjourney, a text-to-image AI where your imagination is the only limit.", "server_id": "662267976984297473", "member_count": 19247337, "online_count": 848731, "category_tags": ["Entertainment"], "language": "en-US", "invite_url": "https://discord.gg/midjourney", "icon_url": "https://cdn.discordapp.com/icons/662267976984297473/39128f6c9fc33f4c95a27d4c601ad7db.webp?size=256", "banner_url": "https://cdn.discordapp.com/banners/662267976984297473/63249e6867f276efc07d32793b7b3b5a.webp?size=480", "boost_level": 305, "verification_level": "COMMUNITY, DISCOVERABLE, VERIFIED", "nsfw": false, "source": "discord.com", "source_url": "https://discord.com/servers/midjourney-662267976984297473", "keywords": ["AI", "artificial intelligence", "art", "creativity", "future"], "votes": 0 } ```` ### Use cases - **Market research** -- Discover Discord communities in specific niches - **Competitor analysis** -- Track server sizes and growth across categories - **Community discovery** -- Find relevant servers for outreach or partnerships - **Data analysis** -- Build datasets of Discord server metadata for research ### Pricing This actor uses pay-per-event pricing: - **$0.10** per actor start - **$0.001** per server record scraped ### Need more features?
