`tail`

github edit

tail

Runs the live Discord Gateway tail and a periodic repair loop.

#Usage

discrawl tail
discrawl tail --guild 123456789012345678
discrawl tail --repair-every 30m

#What it does

  • connects to the Discord Gateway with the configured bot token
  • writes new messages, edits, and deletes into the local archive as they arrive
  • periodically runs a repair pass to catch anything the live stream missed

#Flags

  • --guild <id> / --guilds <id,id> - tail a specific guild scope (default: default_guild_id, or all discovered guilds if unset)
  • --repair-every <duration> - frequency of the repair sweep

#Notes

  • requires a working Discord bot token
  • not available in Git-only mode (discord.token_source = "none")
  • terminates cleanly on SIGINT / SIGTERM and treats cancellation as normal exit
