Get Discord server member list
TL;DR
About
Most useful for moderators of small and mid-size servers. Paste the URL of a text channel such as #mod-chat and you get the names the member sidebar lists for it, which means only people who can read that channel. A channel might return 14 rows, two flagged isApp. Compare them against your real mod roster. Leftovers tend to be a helper whose role never got removed, or a bot nobody remembers adding. Names are what the sidebar shows, the server nickname rather than the @username, and role headings are not kept. The userId comes from the avatar URL, so it can be null, for default avatars and possibly others. Big servers are where it falls short. The sidebar is scrolled at most 40 times, half a screen each, and Discord may leave offline members out, so you can end up with online people only. The official route to a full roster is a bot with the GUILD_MEMBERS intent.
Input
channelUrl requiredURL of a text channel in the server, e.g. https://discord.com/channels/<guildId>/<channelId>. The member sidebar belongs to the channel, so it must be one the account can view.
limit optionalHow many members to return.
Default: 100Output
count requiredmembers requiredguildId optionalcomplete optionalTrue when the full member list was read before limit was reached. On large servers Discord does not show every member at once, so fewer may be returned than the server holds.

}FAQ
Read Discord messages
Reads the most recent messages of one Discord channel or direct message (author, timestamp, text), newest first, loading older ones until the requested count; complete says whether the whole history came back. Requires being signed in. A DM or group DM is read the same way: pass its url from discord.com/list_dms. It also reads a thread or a forum post, since both are channels in their own right: pass the post's url (from discord.com/list_forum_posts). To list the posts of a forum channel rather than its messages, use discord.com/list_forum_posts. To read several channels, run the script once per channel.
Search Discord server messages
Search one Discord server's message history with Discord's own search, as the signed-in account, newest first. Search by words (content), and narrow by authors, channels, mentioned users and content type, each given as ids: get user ids from discord.com/get_member_list and channel ids from discord.com/list_channels. Returns one page of up to 25 matching messages with their author, text, time and link, Discord's total count of matches, and next_offset to read the next page (null on the last one). Fails with a clear error when the browser is not signed in to Discord, when the account is not a member of the server or can see no text channel in it, or when Discord is still indexing the server. Direct messages are not searched.
Post a Discord message
Posts a text message, optionally with a file attached (the attachment file input, renamed with filename), in a Discord channel addressed by its URL. Requires being logged in to Discord. Returns `sent` plus the created message's messageId, channelId, timestamp and content as Discord stored it. The message is visible to everyone who can see the channel. Empty messages, messages over 2000 characters and forum channels are refused with a clear reason. Use dry_run to check a channel and message without posting.
