How to get a Discord bot token

If you’ve got your server on Discord and want to manage it with the help of a bot, then you can do so easily. With so many functionalities, Discord lets you create a bot of your own that gives you the power to do many things.

Your bot is an application programmed to perform certain tasks on servers. For example, your bot can greet people, play music, and even perform various things when you’re away. Learn how to get Discord bot tokens!

Create a Discord bot token quickly (Step-by-step)

When you create a bot on Discord, you get a token, shown as an extended character string of letters and numbers. Bear in mind that your token has access to bot permissions. This means that you should never share it with anyone.

Follow these steps:

• Open this link in your browser. Make sure you’re already logged in before creating a bot
• Once you access the Discord Developer Portal, you will be able to see all the bots that you have created before
• If you’re new to creating a bot, click the “New Application” blue button (located at the top-right corner of your screen), and a prompt will appear.
• Give your application a nice new name. It could be anything.
• Hit the “create” button once you’re done.
• You can also give your bot a new Icon as well as a nice description in the General Information tab
• Don’t forget to hit the “Save changes” button to update it.

Finding a token

Now that we have created a bot let’s find our token.

• On your left-hand side panel, click “Bot” (it’s a little white piece of the puzzle) to continue.
• Click “Add Bot” and a pop-up will appear instructing you to choose wisely, you can click “Yes, do it” to confirm.
• You’ll now be able to see a green heading with the message “A wild bot has appeared!”
• To get a Discord Token, click on the blue link that says “Click to Reveal Token” (It’s under the Build-a-bot tab, beneath your bot username) and then you will see a chain of mixed-up letters and numbers.
• That's your token.

And that’s all! You’ve successfully created your bot as well as generated a token.
