This guide shows you how to register your own app with Discord to obtain your OAuth credentials (client id & secret). These are required to let your users grant your app access to their Discord account.

​
Creating a Discord Application

1

Sign in to Discord Developer Portal

Go to the Discord Developer Portal and sign in with your Discord account.
2

Create a new application

Click the “New Application” button in the top right corner. Enter a name for your application and click “Create”.
3

Navigate to OAuth2 settings

In the left sidebar, click on “OAuth2” to access the OAuth2 configuration page.
4

Copy your credentials

On the OAuth2 page, you’ll find your:
  • Client ID: Copy this value
  • Client Secret: Click “Reset Secret” to generate a new secret (or use an existing one), then copy it
Keep your client secret secure and never share it publicly.
5

Add redirect URL

Scroll down to the “Redirects” section and add your Nango callback URL:
https://api.nango.dev/oauth/callback
Click “Add Redirect” to save it.
For local development, you can also add http://localhost:3003/oauth/callback

Select OAuth2 scopes

Scroll down to the “OAuth2 URL Generator” section to see available scopes. Common scopes include:
  • identify: Access basic user information
  • email: Access user’s email address
  • guilds: Access user’s guilds (servers)
  • connections: Access user’s connected accounts
For a complete list of scopes, see Discord’s OAuth2 scopes documentation.

In Nango, go to your Discord integration settings and add:
  • Client ID: Paste the Client ID from step 4
  • Client Secret: Paste the Client Secret from step 4
  • Scopes: Add the scopes you need (e.g., identify email guilds)
