[Request] Discord
Some artists use discord as a place to put art. Especially Patreon exclusive stuff that might be not suited for Patreon itself. Wondering if it;s possible to support it.
I think it would be hard, as an API access to a channel would require either:
- an authorized bot in the server which has the read messages permission, but a bot can only be added by server admins;
- using an user token and making API calls with it, but this is theorically prohibited by Discord ToS, as their user API is meant to be used only by their client (despite there are still some apps that use an user token, like an app I am using to backup my DMs, and I never had problems with it)
@Ailothaen I think most users are aware that using user tokens is against the TOS. Perhaps having some sort of warning in the client might work?
This would be an epic feature it's really hard to skim a discord for images.

We should also implement this in YT-DLP for videos and audios

It supported from Patreon's access now via their site looking at their API
