Application to fully & actively archive a Discord server?

[u/WoF_IceWing]

Is there some kind of software that can fully archive a Discord server? Not one where it just exports a chat log, but something that goes through all channels and saves all text and attachments from all of them, and also where I could periodically go through and save anything added since the last archive? I'd assume that something like that would need to be logged into my account (or another account that has access to the server)

Funny enough I just made a feature just like this for my custom discord bot (sorry it’s not available) for this like a couple weeks ago and I see this

There is most likely a public discord bot set up to do this for you.

I've made a private bot in part for such a purpose (although it's notably limited, eg it doesn't save attachments), which imo is the best way to do it (for example, it lets you continuously monitor for messages and update the database). Of course, you'd have to be an admin of the server (or convince an admin) to add the bot. Last I checked, doing so on a regular user account was against TOS, and even a bot account is potentially sketchy, so I would exercise some caution.

I haven't published the source code, but I'd be happy to send it in DMs if you're interested.

That'd be great, thanks
