How To Get Your Discord Bot Listed on…

So you built a bot. It works, people use it, and you want more servers to find it. Here's exactly how to get it on DiscordForge and what it takes to earn the Verified badge.

Step 1: Add your bot

Go to discordforge.org/add and select Bot.

You'll need:

Your bot's Client ID (not the token, the public Client ID from the Discord Developer Portal)
A description of what your bot does
Your prefix or slash command info
A support server link

During submission you'll get a verification code, something like df-verify-xyz. Add it to your bot's About Me section on Discord. That's how we confirm you own the bot.

Submit, and you're in the queue.

Step 2: Wait for review

Every submission is reviewed by a real person. Up to 48 hours. Don't DM staff to speed it up, it won't help and might slow things down.

The review checks that your bot works, that the permissions it requests match what it actually does, and that there are no security issues or ToS violations.

If it passes, it goes live. If not, you'll hear why.

Step 3: Get listed, with or without Verified

Your bot doesn't need 100 servers to be listed. Smaller bots are welcome. The difference is the badge.

Listed: Any bot that passes review can be added. No server count minimum.

Verified badge: Requires 100+ servers, 99%+ uptime over 7 days, a complete profile, and a clean record.

Not there yet? Get listed anyway. The badge can come later.

Step 4: Apply for Verification when you're ready

Once your bot hits 100+ servers and has been running reliably:

Go to your Dashboard
Open the Statistics tab
Scroll to Quick Actions
Click Apply for Verification

Takes up to 48 hours. The review looks at uptime, server count, profile completeness, and any flags on the account.

What makes a strong application

Full profile - description, short description, prefix, tags, commands synced via the API
Support server - active, moderated, easy to get help in
Stable uptime - we check status every 5 minutes and track a 30-day rolling average
Clean permissions - don't request what you don't use

After you're verified

The Verified badge shows on your listing and in search results. It tells server owners that someone checked your bot, that it's real, it works, and there's a developer behind it.

You can also connect to the DiscordForge API to keep your server and user counts synced automatically. Docs at discordforge.org/support/developers.

We review every bot ourselves, and if your project genuinely stands out, we might throw in a Forge boost on top. Feel free to add yours and let's see what you've built.
