Discrawl is a command-line utility published by Peter Steinberger that creates a self-contained, searchable archive of any Discord guild the authenticated bot account can reach. Written in Go and shipped at version 0.1.0, the tool connects through the official Bot Gateway, so it never touches user tokens or violates Discord policy; instead, it walks every accessible server, pulls channels, threads, members, roles, and the complete message history, then writes the data into a local SQLite file enriched with FTS5 full-text indexes. Once the initial crawl finishes, administrators can run arbitrary SQL queries to investigate conversation trends, audit user activity, or reconstruct event sequences without waiting for the sluggish in-app search or risking rate-limit throttling. The schema is designed for multi-guild warehousing yet defaults to a single-guild focus for simpler exploration, while a live Gateway tail plus periodic repair sync keeps the mirror reasonably current. Attachments that contain extractable text—code snippets, logs, pastes—are inlined so their content becomes immediately searchable, and structured mentions are preserved as discrete tables for quick filtering. Because everything resides on disk, sensitive corporate or research data never leaves the premises, making Discrawl suitable for compliance documentation, community moderation forensics, or offline data-science experiments. The program is classified under Database Tools and is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always serving the latest build and supporting batch installation alongside other applications.
