Code a Discord Token Tool!
Introduction
Today I'm going to show you how to code a Discord tool that uses the username and password to get the Discord token of a user. We'll use the Discord API, which is a way for software applications to interact with each other through code rather than manually clicking buttons on a website.
Disclaimer: This tutorial is for educational purposes only. Using the Discord public API in the manner shown is legal, and is part of understanding how APIs work.
Understanding the Discord API Request
Before coding, it's essential to understand the structure of the API request. The process involves:
- Opening Discord and Inspect Element using
F12
since right-clicking is disabled. - Navigating to the Network tab and recording the login request.
Steps:
- Input your email and password in Discord.
- Click on "Log In."
- Observe the network requests, identify the
login
request, and click on it.
You'll see the request URL API v9 auth login
, and you'll also notice certain payload fields: gift code, login, login source, password, undelete
.
Extracting The Token
From the response, we get the user ID, token (the most critical part), and user settings.
Coding The Tool
Setup:
- Install Visual Studio.
- Create a new C# project (choose the Console Application template).
Adding Necessary Packages:
- Go to the Solution Explorer, right-click your project file, select
Manage NuGet Packages
. - Install
Newtonsoft.Json
.
Writing the Code:
User Input:
Console.WriteLine("Enter email: "); string email = Console.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine("Enter password: "); string password = Console.ReadLine();
Making The Request:
static async Task<string> GetTokenAsync(string email, string password) ( string url = "https://discord.com/api/v9/auth/login"; var payload = new { login = email, password = password ); var jsonPayload = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(payload); using (HttpClient client = new HttpClient()) ( var content = new StringContent(jsonPayload, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json"); var response = await client.PostAsync(url, content); if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode) { var responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); return responseString; ) else ( throw new Exception("Authentication failed: " + response.ReasonPhrase); ) } } static async Task Main(string[] args) ( Console.WriteLine("Enter your email:"); string email = Console.ReadLine(); Console.WriteLine("Enter your password:"); string password = Console.ReadLine(); try { string response = await GetTokenAsync(email, password); var json = JObject.Parse(response); string userId = json["user_id"].ToString(); string token = json["token"].ToString(); Console.WriteLine($"Login successful. User ID: {userId), Token: (token)"); } catch (Exception ex) ( Console.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Message)"); } }
Running The Tool:
- Enter the email and password when prompted.
- If successful, you will get
Login successful
and theUser ID
andToken
.
Important Notes
- The token changes every time the user logs in or makes a login request.
- Always handle sensitive data securely and responsibly.
Conclusion
This tool demonstrates how to interact with the Discord API to retrieve a user token using C#. While this tutorial serves as a stepping stone towards understanding API interactions, always stay ethical and adhere to platform terms of service.

FAQ
Q1: Is it legal to use the Discord API like this? A1: Yes, interacting with Discord's public API is legal as long as you adhere to their terms of service and use it ethically.
Q2: Why does the token change every time? A2: Discord generates a new token for every login request to enhance security.
Q3: What is the purpose of JObject in the code?
A3: JObject
from Newtonsoft.Json
is used to parse the JSON response so we can easily extract the user_id
and token
.
Q4: Do I need any special software to run this script?
A4: Yes, you need Visual Studio and the Newtonsoft.Json
package to build and run the script.
Q5: Can I use this tool to log in to any Discord account? A5: This tutorial is for educational purposes only. Unauthorized access to accounts is illegal and against Discord’s terms of service. Always use such tools responsibly and ethically.
