Now-Playing API
-- The same Discord presence card from my homepage — but pointed at your - Discord. Give it your user ID and you get a live card with your status, Spotify, - games, what you're coding, badges, the lot. No accounts, no keys, no Google Sheet. -
- -1. Join Lanyard
-- The card reads your presence through Lanyard, - which only tracks people in its Discord server. So join you will need to join it and stay there for - it to work. Join at: - discord.gg/lanyard. -
- -2. Grab your user ID
-
- In Discord: Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode (turn it on),
- then right-click your name and Copy User ID. It's a long number
- like 1464890289922641993.
-
3. Use your card
-Three ways to point it at your ID — all do the same thing:
-https://clove.is-a.dev/api/YOUR_ID ← prettiest
-https://clove.is-a.dev/api/?u=YOUR_ID
-https://clove.is-a.dev/api/#YOUR_ID
- Pick a theme by adding ?theme= — mocha (default),
- macchiato, frappe, or latte:
https://clove.is-a.dev/api/YOUR_ID?theme=latte
-
- Embed it anywhere
-Drop it into Notion, a website, an OBS browser source, a README iframe — anywhere that takes HTML or a URL:
-<iframe
- src="https://clove.is-a.dev/api/YOUR_ID"
- style="border:0;width:340px;height:360px"
- title="my Discord presence"></iframe>
-
- Want it on your own page without the iframe? Add a mount + the two files and
- pass your ID via data-user:
-
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://clove.is-a.dev/api/api.css">
-<div id="now-playing"></div>
-<script src="https://clove.is-a.dev/api/now-playing.js"
- data-user="YOUR_ID"></script>
-
- What it shows
-- Avatar, decoration & status dot · display name (incl. Discord's gradient name styles) · - server tag · active platforms (desktop/mobile/web) · Discord badges (Nitro, boosts, etc. - via dstn) · custom status · live Spotify with a progress bar · what game you're playing · - what you're coding (VS Code) · streaming. The card auto-tints to your Spotify album art. -
- -Notes & limits
--
-
- Everything is read-only and public — it only shows what Lanyard already exposes for your account. -
- Discord doesn't share activity button URLs, so those show as plain labels. -
- If you leave the Lanyard server, the card goes quiet. -
- It's a static page calling Lanyard's public API directly from your browser — nothing of yours is stored here. -
