A simple command-line tool to check a user's Discord status using Lanyard and get an output in a readable format.

Installation

To run discid on your machine, install it using npm:

npm install -g discid

Usage

Important

The user must be in the Lanyard Discord server in order to retrieve information about them.

discid [userID]

You will need to replace [userID] with the ID of the user you are trying to fetch the status of. To find the ID of a user, you can follow a guide with images, or you can follow the steps below:

1. Enable Developer mode by going to Settings ➔ Advanced ➔ Developer Mode, and check the toggle to be on.

2. Right click on a user and click the Copy User ID button.

3. Go back to your command line and run the same command from above, replacing [userID] with the ID you copied.

For example, to check the status of the user iinter, you can run the following command:

discid 514106760299151372

Depending on what the user is doing, you may get different outputs. Here is an example of what might be returned:

iinter (lunar) • 🟢 Online
Listening To: Duvet by bôa • 2min 58sec left
Platform: Desktop
Avatar URL: https://api.lanyard.rest/514106760299151372.png

These are returned because the status of the user is set to Online, and they are listening to the song 'Duvet' by 'bôa' at the time the command was ran.

To see everything that can be displayed and for slightly more information, see this page.
