Discord as a backend

Build your own Discord — without rebuilding Discord

You want the Discord experience — servers, channels, roles, permissions, voice — but inside your product, under your brand, owning your users and data. Guildyx is that backend: the full guild model and voice/video behind one API.

Discord is great — until you need to own it

Discord is free and ubiquitous, so why not just use it? Because the moment you need your community inside your app — branded, embedded, with your own accounts and no third-party login — Discord stops being an option. Its SDK keeps users tethered to Discord's identity graph. You need the model, not the dependency.

And rebuilding it yourself is deceptively huge: servers, nested categories, channels, a hierarchical role system, per-channel permission overrides, invites, bans, DMs, presence, typing, reactions — then voice and video on top. That's months. Guildyx ships it as an API.

What you get

Servers & categories	Containers with nested channel groups
Roles & permissions	Hierarchical roles + per-channel allow/deny overrides
Channels & messages	Real-time text, replies, reactions, pins, edits, typing
DMs & friends	Direct & group DMs, friend requests, blocks
Voice / video / screen	Built-in calls, gated by your permission model
Invites & bans	Invite codes with limits, server bans

How it works

# 1. you get an API key when you sign up
# 2. your users register/log in against your tenant
curl -X POST https://au.dc.guildyx.com/api/auth/register \
  -H "x-api-key: gx_live_..." \
  -d '{"email":"[email protected]","username":"alice","password":"..."}'

# 3. create a server — it comes with #general + an @everyone role
curl -X POST https://au.dc.guildyx.com/api/servers \
  -H "x-api-key: gx_live_..." -H "Authorization: Bearer $JWT" \
  -d '{"name":"My Community"}'

Your data lives in its own isolated database, in the region you choose. No Discord account required for your users — the community is yours.
