How to Scrape Discord Server Data (Messages, Members, Channels)

Discord has 200M+ users with public servers containing valuable community data.

Discord Bot API (Official)

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require("discord.js");
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages] });

client.on("ready", () => console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}`));

client.on("messageCreate", (msg) => {
  console.log(`${msg.author.username}: ${msg.content}`);
});

client.login("BOT_TOKEN");
