The Discord developer platform lets you develop apps to customize and extend Discord for millions of users. A toolkit of APIs and resources pair splendidly with a supportive community to help you build bots, integrate 3rd party services, and add Discord support to your game.
Get Started
Add interactivity to your app with commands and message components to build engaging experiences in the place where users are already hanging out.
Customize Discord servers by using apps to do things like send messages, modify channels and guilds, integrate with AutoMod, or connect to voice.
Plus, use the Gateway API to respond to real-time events happening in a server, like when a reaction is added to a message.
Link and update metadata to enhance Discord for users. Add Rich Presence to display live data on users' profiles, or connection metadata to make it easy for admins to create roles using metadata associated with your app.
The Discord developer community has built and maintained a ton of different libraries and tools over the years. No matter your experience level or language of choice, there are resources to speed up and simplify app development for you over on the Community Resources page.
You can also check out our Postman collections to try and test API endpoints.
- Join the Discord Developers server for support, discussion, and events about the Discord developer platform.
- Explore the Developer Help Center to find articles about common topics and questions, or to reach directly out to our developer support team.

So go ahead and build an app! We can’t wait to see what you make.
