Generate formatted digests from Discord servers. Reads channels via user token (no bot required).

Setup

1. Set Discord User Token

Get token from browser: Discord (web) → F12 → Network → any API request → Headers → Authorization value.

python3 scripts/config_manager.py set-token "YOUR_TOKEN"

2. Scan & Select Servers

List all servers the user belongs to:

python3 scripts/discord_api.py "TOKEN" guilds

3. Scan & Select Channels

List channels for a specific server:

python3 scripts/discord_api.py "TOKEN" channels SERVER_ID

4. Add Server to Config

python3 scripts/config_manager.py add-server '{"id":"SERVER_ID","name":"Server Name","channels":[{"id":"CH_ID","name":"channel-name","type":"text"}]}'

Usage

Generate Digest

python3 scripts/run_digest.py [--hours 24] [--server SERVER_ID]

Validate Token

python3 scripts/discord_api.py "TOKEN" validate

Token Expiry Handling

Before each digest run, the token is validated via GET /users/@me. If it returns 401:

1. Notify user: "⚠️ Discord token expired, send new token"
2. Wait for new token
3. Update config: python3 scripts/config_manager.py set-token "NEW_TOKEN"
4. Retry digest

Output Format

**#SERVER_NAME DD.MM.YY**

Scripts

Script	Purpose
discord_api.py	Discord HTTP API client (user token auth)
digest_formatter.py	Format messages into digest
config_manager.py	Manage token, servers, channels config
run_digest.py	Main entry: validate → read → format

Rate Limits

Discord API rate limits: ~1 req/sec with automatic retry on 429. The scripts include built-in rate limit handling with exponential backoff.

Important Notes

• User tokens may violate Discord ToS — use at your own risk for personal use only
• Token can expire; the skill includes validation and notification flow
• No external dependencies — uses only Python 3 stdlib (urllib, json)
