Question 1

What is the Discord server widget?

Accepted Answer

The server widget is an optional public endpoint that Discord provides for each server. When enabled, it exposes basic server info — name, online member count, and a sample of online members — without requiring a bot or authentication.

Question 2

Why does server lookup return a 403 error?

Accepted Answer

A 403 means the server's widget is disabled. The server owner must go to Server Settings → Widget and enable it before this tool can fetch any data.

Question 3

What information does this server lookup show?

Accepted Answer

It shows the server name, ID, online member count, invite link, and a list of visible voice channels and online members. More data (icon, total members, features) is not available through the widget API.

Question 4

Is the online member count real-time?

Accepted Answer

The online count returned by the Discord widget API updates approximately every few minutes. It reflects the number of members currently showing as online, idle, or do not disturb.

Question 5

Can I look up any Discord server by ID?

Accepted Answer

You can look up any server that has its widget enabled in server settings. Private or widget-disabled servers will return a 403 response.
