Revolt

API

Open-source Discord alternative API for building chat applications

Overview

The Revolt API is a RESTful interface for the open-source Discord alternative platform. It uses JSON responses and provides endpoints for user authentication, server/channel management, message sending/receiving, bot integration, and attachment handling. Developers can leverage it to build custom Revolt clients, automate community tasks (like moderation or notifications), create interactive bots, or integrate Revolt chat features into third-party tools. The API documentation includes clear examples for each endpoint, supporting both new and experienced devs in building robust chat solutions.
