Expose your Discord activities to a RESTful API and WebSocket

How?

Lanyard is a service that makes it super easy to export your live Discord presence to an API endpoint (api.lanyard.rest/v1/users/:your_id) and to a WebSocket for you to use wherever you want. It is fully open-source and powerful. You can use the API without deploying anything yourself - but if you want to self host it, you have the option to, though it'll require a tiny bit of configuration.

How Does Monitoring Work?

Lanyard uses a basic Discord Bot (which is open source as well) and monitors every user in its Discord server. On each presence change, Lanyard sends a WS signal to update the API response.
