# 🏷️ Expose your Discord presence and activities to a RESTful API and WebSocket in less than 10 seconds
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 (see below) for you to use wherever you want - for example, I use this to display what I'm listening to on Spotify on my personal website. It also acts as a globally-accessible realtime KV store which you can update from the Lanyard Discord bot or from the Lanyard API.
You can use Lanyard's 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.
## Get started in < 10 seconds
Just [join this Discord server](https://discord.gg/UrXF2cfJ7F) and your presence will start showing up when you `GET api.lanyard.rest/v1/users/:your_id`. It's that easy.

### KV
Lanyard KV is a a dynamic, real-time key->value store which is added to the Lanyard user API response. When a KV pair is updated, a `PRESENCE_UPDATE` for the user will also be emitted through the Lanyard socket.
#### Use cases
- Configuration values for your website
- Configuration values for Lanyard 3rd party projects
- Dynamic data for your website/profile (e.g. current location)
#### Limits
1. Keys and values can only be strings
2. Values can be 30,000 characters maximum
3. Keys must be alphanumeric (a-zA-Z0-9) and 255 characters max length
4. Your user can have a maximum of 512 key->value pairs linked
#### Getting an API Key
DM the Lanyard bot (`Lanyard#5766`) with `.apikey` to get your API key.
When making Lanyard KV API requests, set an `Authorization` header with the API key you received from the Lanyard bot as the value.
#### Setting a key->value pair
##### Discord
`.set `
##### HTTP
`PUT https://api.lanyard.rest/v1/users/:user_id/kv/:key`
The value will be set to the body of the request. The body can be any type of data, but it will be string-encoded when set in Lanyard KV.
#### Setting multiple key->value pairs
##### Discord
Not yet implemented
##### HTTP
`PATCH https://api.lanyard.rest/v1/users/:user_id/kv`
The user's KV store will be merged with the body of the request. Conflicting keys will be overwritten. The body must be keyvalue pair object with a maximum depth of 1.
#### Deleting a key
##### Discord
`.del `
##### HTTP
`DELETE https://api.lanyard.rest/v1/users/:user_id/kv/:key`
## Socket Docs
The websocket is available at `wss://api.lanyard.rest/socket`. If you would like to use compression, please specify `?compression=zlib_json` at the end of the URL.
Once connected, you will receive Opcode 1: Hello which will contain heartbeat_interval in the data field. You should set a repeating interval for the time specified in heartbeat_interval which should send Opcode 3: Heartbeat on the interval.
You should send `Opcode 2: Initialize` immediately after receiving Opcode 1.
Example of `Opcode 2: Initialize`:
```js
{
op: 2,
d: {
// subscribe_to_ids should be an array of user IDs you want to subscribe to presences from
// if Lanyard doesn't monitor an ID specified, it won't be included in INIT_STATE
subscribe_to_ids: ["94490510688792576"]
}
}
```
#### Subscribing to multiple user presences
To subscribe to multiple presences, send `subscribe_to_ids` in the data object with a `string[]` list of user IDs to subscribe to. Then, INIT_STATE's data object will contain a user_id->presence map. You can find examples below.
#### Subscribing to a single user presence
If you just want to subscribe to one user, you can send `subscribe_to_id` instead with a string of a single user ID to subscribe to. Then, the INIT_STATE's data will just contain the presence object for the user you've subscribed to instead of a user_id->presence map.
#### Subscribing to every user presence
If you want to subscribe to every presence being monitored by Lanyard, you can specify `subscribe_to_all` with (bool) `true` in the data object, and you will then receive a user_id->presence map with every user presence in INIT_STATE, and their respective PRESENCE_UPDATES when they happen.
Once Op 2 is sent, you should immediately receive an `INIT_STATE` event payload if connected successfully. If not, you will be disconnected with an error (see below).
### List of Opcodes
| Opcode | Name | Description | Client Send/Recv |
| ------ | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
| 0 | Event | This is the default opcode when receiving core events from Lanyard, like `INIT_STATE` | Receive |
| 1 | Hello | Lanyard sends this when clients initially connect, and it includes the heartbeat interval | Receive Only |
| 2 | Initialize | This is what the client sends when receiving Opcode 1 from Lanyard - it should contain an array of user IDs to subscribe to | Send only |
| 3 | Heartbeat | Clients should send Opcode 3 every 30 seconds (or whatever the Hello Opcode says to heartbeat at) | Send only |
### Events
Events are received on `Opcode 0: Event` - the event type will be part of the root message object under the `t` key.
#### Example Event Message Objects
#### `INIT_STATE`
```js
{
op: 0,
seq: 1,
t: "INIT_STATE",
d: {
"94490510688792576": {
// Full Lanyard presence (see API docs above for example)
}
}
}
```
#### `PRESENCE_UPDATE`
```js
{
op: 0,
seq: 2,
t: "PRESENCE_UPDATE",
d: {
// Full Lanyard presence and an extra "user_id" field
}
}
```
### Error Codes
Lanyard can disconnect clients for multiple reasons, usually to do with messages being badly formatted. Please refer to your WebSocket client to see how you should handle errors - they do not get received as regular messages.
#### Types of Errors
| Name | Code | Data |
| ---------------------- | ---- | ---------------------- |
| Invalid/Unknown Opcode | 4004 | `unknown_opcode` |
| Opcode Requires Data | 4005 | `requires_data_object` |
| Invalid Payload | 4006 | `invalid_payload` |
## Quicklinks
Lanyard quicklinks allow you to easily access resources from Discord, such as profile pictures.
### User Icons
`https://api.lanyard.rest/.`
Where `id` is the Discord user ID. `file_type` can be one of: `png`, `gif`, `webp`, `jpg`, or `jpeg`
## Self-host with Docker
Build the Docker image by cloning this repo and running:
```bash
# The latest version is already on the docker hub, you can skip this step unless you would like to run a modified version.
docker build -t phineas/lanyard:latest .
```
If you don't already have a redis server you'll need to run one, here's the docker command to run one:
```bash
docker run -d --name lanyard-redis -v docker_mount_location_on_host:/data redis
```
And run Lanyard API server using:
```bash
docker run --rm -it -p 4001:4001 -e REDIS_HOST=redis -e BOT_TOKEN= --link lanyard-redis:redis phineas/lanyard:latest
```
You'll be able to access the API using **port 4001**.
You also need to create a Discord bot and use its token above.
Create a bot here: https://discord.com/developers/applications
**Make sure you enable** these settings in your bot settings:
- Privileged Gateway Intents > **PRESENCE INTENT**
- Privileged Gateway Intents > **SERVER MEMBERS INTENT**
If you'd like to run Lanyard with `docker-compose`, here's an example:
```yml
version: "3.8"
services:
redis:
image: redis
restart: always
container_name: lanyard_redis
lanyard:
image: phineas/lanyard:latest
restart: always
container_name: lanyard
depends_on:
- redis
ports:
- 4001:4001
environment:
BOT_TOKEN:
REDIS_HOST: redis
```
Note, that you're **hosting a http server, not https**. You'll need to use a **reverse proxy** such as [traefik](https://traefik.io/traefik/) if you want to secure your API endpoint.
