The Discord Embedded App SDK is a TypeScript library for building Discord Activities—web apps running in an iframe inside the Discord client on desktop, web, and mobile. It handles communication between Discord and the embedded application, including OAuth2 authorization, authentication, and client commands.
Use cases
- build a multiplayer game inside discord
- create a social activity app for discord
- authenticate discord users in an embedded iframe app
- run a web app within the discord client on mobile and desktop
- add oauth2 login to a discord activity
When to choose
- you want to build a game or social experience that runs inside Discord
- you need SDK support for Discord's Activity lifecycle, auth, and commands
- you want one codebase that works across Discord desktop, web, and mobile clients
When to avoid
- you are building a traditional Discord bot rather than an embedded Activity
- your app runs outside the Discord client and only needs the REST or Gateway APIs
- you need a standalone web app with no Discord integration
