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

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)
