Send Discord DM

Automatically send Discord DM on discord.com. Send a direct message to a Discord user, addressed by their username. Opens (or reuses) the one-to-one DM conversation and posts the message there. Returns sent, the created message's messageId, the DM channelId, timestamp, and the content as Discord stored it, plus the recipient's resolved handle so the message is provably not sent to a near-name match. This is a write and the recipient is notified: confirm the exact recipient and text with the user before running, and note that approval for one message does not carry over to another.

Input

userId required

The recipient's Discord user id, e.g. from discord.com/find_member_id or the author.id of discord.com/search_messages.

message required

The message text. Discord's own limit is 2000 characters.

expectedUsername required

The recipient's username, checked against the one Discord returns for that id before anything is typed. A mismatch stops the run without sending.

dry_run optional

When true, the recipient is checked and the conversation opened, then the run stops before typing: nothing is sent, sent comes back false.

Output

sent required

False on a dry run.

channelId required

The one-to-one DM channel.

recipient required

The recipient's username as Discord returned it for that id, not echoed from the input.

content optional

The content as Discord stored it. Null on a dry run.

dry_run optional
messageId optional

Null on a dry run.

timestamp optional

You do not need one. "Send Discord DM" drives the real discord.com pages in a browser, so it works whether or not discord.com offers an API for this.
Required: userId, expectedUsername, message. Optional: dry_run.
It returns sent, content, dry_run, channelId, messageId, recipient, timestamp.
Yes. It acts as you on discord.com: on your own Chrome it reuses your session, and on a Reduck-hosted browser it loads the discord.com cookies saved by the Reduck extension.
It makes changes on discord.com, like sending, posting, booking or buying something.

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.

Read Discord messages

Reads the most recent messages of a Discord channel or direct message (author, timestamp, text), newest first, scrolling up to load more until the requested count. Requires being logged 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) and you get its replies plus the opening post, newest first — there is no separate thread-reading script. To list the posts of a forum channel rather than its messages, use discord.com/list_forum_posts instead.

Post a Discord message

Posts a text message, optionally with a file attached, 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 and messages over 2000 characters are refused with a clear reason. Use dry_run to check a channel and message without posting.
