Discord Digest

Generate formatted digests from Discord servers using a user token. Reads messages from selected channels/threads and creates concise summaries with links. Use when generating Discord server digests, monitoring Discord channels, or creating Discord activity reports. Supports multi-server configuration, interactive channel selection, token validation with expiry notifications, and configurable time periods.

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.

bash

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

2. Scan & Select Servers

List all servers the user belongs to:

bash

python3 scripts/discord_api.py "TOKEN" guilds

3. Scan & Select Channels

List channels for a specific server:

bash

python3 scripts/discord_api.py "TOKEN" channels SERVER_ID

4. Add Server to Config

bash

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

bash

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

Validate Token

bash

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

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)
