## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — 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

### 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:

# Actor input Schema

## `token` (type: `string`):

Token used to authenticate your discord account. Read the actor's information page to learn how to get the token

## `action` (type: `string`):

Actor will decide what kind of data it needs to scrape and from where it should scrape it based on selected action

## `scrapeMessages.channelUrl` (type: `string`):

Click on the required discord group, then right click on a channel in the group. Click 'Copy Link' option

## `cursor` (type: `string`):

Use this field if you want to resume scraping from where the scraper stopped last time. You can find this value in default storage of scraper runs under **cursor** key

## `scrapeChannelMembers.channelUrl` (type: `string`):

Click on the required discord group, then right click on a channel in the group. Click 'Copy Link' option

## `count` (type: `integer`):

Leave this field empty if you want to scrape all items data

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

You can use proxy from your account's country if needed for extra safety.

## `minDelay` (type: `integer`):

Minimum duration in seconds to wait before scraping next page

## `maxDelay` (type: `integer`):

Maximum duration in seconds to wait before scraping next page

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "action": "scrapeMessages",
  "scrapeMessages.channelUrl": "https://discord.com/channels/662267976984297473/976997370132848640",

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "action": "scrapeMessages",
    "scrapeMessages.channelUrl": "https://discord.com/channels/662267976984297473/976997370132848640",

    "maxDelay": 3
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("curious_coder/discord-data-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {

```

## 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).
