Why an API?
Third-party dashboards, bots, and research scripts crave live data. An open discord servers list API multiplies reach while keeping UI decoupled.
Core Endpoints
GET /servers, GET /servers/id, POST /reviews, and GET /stats. Rate-limit via API keys; expose GraphQL for power users.
Data Freshness
Webhooks trigger record updates on invite changes; nightly cron jobs backfill growth metrics.
Security and Abuse
JWT auth scopes read vs. write. Anomaly detection flags abnormal query bursts, blacklisting offenders automatically.
