About Discord

The Discord Developer Platform provides documentation and tools for building on top of Discord. It covers building bots and automated apps that run commands and integrations inside Discord servers, creating Activities (multiplayer games and social experiences that launch within Discord), and integrating a Social Layer into external games, including rich presence, voice chat, and social features across platforms.

The documentation includes guides on app fundamentals such as OAuth2 and permissions, interactions and commands, components and modals, server and channel management, and webhooks. It also covers account linking, game and platform features, app discovery, game profiles, and monetization through premium apps and activities, as well as social commerce tools.

This resource is intended for developers building bots, integrations, or games that connect with Discord. Support resources include a developer Discord server, a GitHub repository for reporting API and SDK issues, and a developer help center.
