Authentication

delete-me-discord authenticates with Discord through your user token.

Set your Discord token before running the tool:

Terminal window
export DISCORD_TOKEN=<your_token>

The tool can fetch the current user via the token.

Finding your token

You can use this external guide to obtain your Discord token:

Notes

  • Keep the token private. Anyone with the token can act as your Discord user.
  • Prefer exporting it in the shell for the current session instead of hardcoding it in scripts.
  • Be aware that using automated tooling on Discord may violate Discord’s Terms of Service.
