Unsafe.
Discord uses the aforementioned header for client identification for certain endpoints. Lack of usage of this header is dangerous.
- GranPC 3y agoCould you elaborate? What exactly is in that header and what's dangerous about not passing it?
- diamondburned 3y agoHi, Dissent actually makes no effort to try and hide itself from Discord! In fact, API calls via Dissent have their User-Agent header set to "Dissent (https://libdb.so/dissent https://libdb.so/dissent)" to emphasize the fact that they're NOT performed by the official client. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28435490 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28435490 goes into this, but Discord doesn't actually care if you use a third-party client. They only care if said client misuses the API, and that happens to include a lot of past clients. I've been developing a handful of Discord clients for several years now and have never had my account banned, but I have a backup account just in case this scenario happens. Of course, people may still be banned for using Dissent, so use it at your own risk.
- tossit444 3y agoYou're misusing the API by not following what headers are used by Discord itself, so this comes off as fairly irresponsible. 2021 was a long time ago, so I wouldn't take anything said there as accurate to current times.
