Sources

Discord

Ingest your Discord data package — DMs, server messages, and metadata.

The discord source ingests the official Discord data package — the ZIP Discord generates when you click "Request all my data" in privacy settings.

Get the export

Open Discord (desktop or web).
User Settings → Privacy & Safety.
Scroll to Request all of my Data → Request Data.
Discord emails a download link when the package is ready (can take several days).
Download the ZIP locally.

Register the export

bash

vault add-export \
  --source discord \
  --path ~/Downloads/discord-package.zip \
  --account myhandle

--account is your Discord username (legacy name#1234 or the new unique handle is fine — pick one and stick with it for repeated exports).

What gets ingested

Item	Notes
One message item per message you sent	`kind=message`, content, ts, channel info in metadata.
DM channels	Each direct message conversation is captured; recipient handles in metadata.
Server messages	Server name + channel name preserved as tags.
Activity / events	The `events.json` style metadata is kept on the export but not normalized into items by default.
Attachments	Discord's data package only includes URLs to attachments, not the binary content — URLs are preserved.

Ingest it

bash

vault ingest --source discord

Caveats

Only your messages. Discord's package contains messages you sent in DMs and servers — not the messages other people sent. The conversational context is incomplete by design.
Attachments are URL-only. Discord's CDN URLs in the export expire over time. If you care about the bytes, mirror them out before they go 404.
Server names in older exports may use IDs rather than names; the parser preserves both when present.
Voice / video activity is not part of the package.
