Lanyard

API

Retrieve Discord presence via REST API or WebSocket

Overview

Lanyard provides REST and WebSocket interfaces to fetch real-time Discord presence data. Key REST endpoints include `/api/v1/users/{user_id}` for individual user status and `/api/v1/users` for bulk queries. WebSocket support enables live updates for presence changes. Responses are JSON-formatted, containing details like online status, current activity (games, streams, Spotify), device info, and timestamps. Use cases include displaying Discord status on personal websites, integrating into dashboards, or building apps that sync with user presence.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://github.com/Phineas/lanyard')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
