Lanyard is a hosted and self-hostable Elixir service that exposes live Discord user presence and activity data through a REST API and WebSocket. It also functions as a globally accessible realtime key-value store updatable via its Discord bot or API.

Use cases

• show my Discord presence on my personal website
• display what I'm listening to on Spotify live on a webpage
• get a user's Discord status via a REST API
• subscribe to live Discord presence updates over WebSocket
• use a free realtime KV store updated from Discord
• embed Discord activity widgets in a React app

When to choose

• you want live Discord presence data without deploying anything
• you need both REST and WebSocket access to presence data
• you want a simple realtime KV store controllable from Discord
• you want to self-host with Docker

When to avoid

• you need presence data for users who won't join the Lanyard Discord server or run the bot
• you need full Discord API access beyond presence and KV features
• you require guaranteed SLAs or private data handling
