Discord: Scraper of Guild Members’ Metadata

This repository contains Python code to scrape metadata of all the members in a specific guild’s channel on Discord.

Features

• Specify which guild (server) and which channel to scrape from in a JSON config file.
• Scrape nickname, handle, bio, picture for every member, then save the results to a TXT file.

[!Important] Bios are heavily rate-limited.

Requirements

• Install the latest version of Python 3.X.
• Install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

[!Tip] You may want to download some packages from a third-party website. Typically:

• frozenlist‑1.3.0‑py3‑none‑any.whl
• multidict‑6.0.2‑py3‑none‑any.whl

• Rename config.json.example to config.json and edit the required settings.

[!Note] The token is the value of Authorization as found in the Headers of your browser requests.

[!Note] Input channel_id if you wish to scrape members from a particular channel. Otherwise, leave it to 0.

[!Important] For pictures, the image format is always PNG, no matter the file extension which you ask for via the JSON config.

Usage

• Run the following script:

python main.py 

[!Warning] About 300 bios can be downloaded before reaching the rate-limit and getting error 429 Too Many Requests for an hour.

[!Caution] Using selfbots is against Discord’s Terms of Service, use this project at your own risk!

• To display a list of spammers identified by Discord, run the following script:

python display_spammers.py 

[!Tip] If this is your sole objective, set download_bio and download_pfp to false to speed the process up.

• To export a list of avatar URLs, run the following script:

python export_avatar_urls.py

[!Tip] This allows to rely on another tool, e.g. img2dataset, to download the avatar images.
