Discord API Docs is the official reference documentation for building third-party applications on the Discord platform.
The repository serves as the authoritative guide for developers integrating with Discord's APIs. It documents the capabilities available to third-party applications, deliberately excluding features and internal functionality not intended for external use. The documentation is written in MDX and built using Mintlify, allowing developers to preview changes locally before contribution.
Developers building bots, integrations, or applications that interact with Discord should use this documentation as their primary reference. The repository accepts community contributions through pull requests, with specific guidelines for markdown syntax and change types outlined in the contributing guidelines. The project maintains separate issue tracking for bugs and a discussions section for feature requests, creating distinct channels for different types of feedback.
The project maintains active engagement with its developer community through official and unofficial Discord servers dedicated to API support. The official Discord Developers server provides direct access to Discord's development team and knowledgeable contributors, while the Unofficial Discord API server serves as a community hub for library and bot developers. The repository welcomes contributions and provides clear pathways for reporting issues, requesting features, and submitting documentation improvements through its structured contribution process.
